POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like to write about the darker side of the imagination. Dreams, nightmares and psychological horror. Some would say I suffer from night terror,s but I embrace them.
Never alone
There has always been something watching
From afar but sometimes near
I can feel it when I'm walking
Suddenly cumbersome and drunk on fear
In my mind I see the silhouette
Stretched out like a spiders web
An anxious transitory shape
Like black smoke with a roving head
That prickle feeling behind my neck
Is fright amounting with no ebb
Without the want to turn and face it
This stalking thing remains instead
It's like a shadow following
It's the footsteps I have left behind
It's a tail shapeless danger
Hunting with a...

The fate of the followers
In the cemetery is where I lay
Breathing cold when the mourning crowd has gone
I'm am the rust
I am the Midnights chill approaching fast
Kissing goodnight to the day
As frost creeps over the headstones
I am the ravens call
I am loyal
I am dead
Is anyone there at all?
With promises of light and paradise
I have followed in your path
My feet becoming one with the mud
Although our footprints do not match
But now I rot and await the day
When the Angels trumpet rings
With insects burrowing in my skull
Through a...

Some'r teeth and Copenhagen (Some'r teeth and some ain't)
(This was written several years ago when I played in the band, Full Bore Crack Whore)
She's... Got... Cuts
From rusty razor blades
She hasn't bathed in days
And she smells like
Some'r teeth and Copenhagen
Lookin at you as she's winkin
Knows exactly what you're thinkin
Suckin down a fifth of juice
Just enough to get you loose
My... How she attracts the guys
And kinda like the flys, they linger
Tits swingin past her hips eatin dollar tips
Smell my finger
Slippin down the strippin pole
Lust distracts you from her...

An Orchid in the Midnight Garden
She sings my overture in a note only I can hear
With words as sweet as rancid venomous kisses to my ear
Drowning out the sunlit world, influences I might attune
And drag me down to the blackest dungeon to the coldest of dark rooms
Wetness is but foreplay for
The dripping nightmares that breach my dreams
With my slumbering creatures she idly waits
In funeral garbs, for me
With blooming orchids of blood soaked thorn she spreads her canopy wings
Her darkness blocks the buried sun from cleansing thee unclean
Together we'll sing of placid...
With words as sweet as rancid venomous kisses to my ear
Drowning out the sunlit world, influences I might attune
And drag me down to the blackest dungeon to the coldest of dark rooms
Wetness is but foreplay for
The dripping nightmares that breach my dreams
With my slumbering creatures she idly waits
In funeral garbs, for me

See you in hell bitch
When rock bottom drops out and gets deeper, I'll be in the primordial stone
Deep in the sulfur pits where the hot magma flows
Here the pain of rock on skin abrasion is gone
But now lava burns you to the soul
Breaking bones on boulders holds no light to this pain
Down here, nerves ablaze and dying, coincide with my disdain
Numb now and without hurt or feelings or commiserate
I'll be down here waiting for you, to laugh at the fucking look on your face
She told me "Go to hell"... and I smiled
Because I haven't been home in a while
Deep in the sulfur pits where the hot magma flows
Here the pain of rock on skin abrasion is gone
But now lava burns you to the soul
Breaking bones on boulders holds no light to this pain
Down here, nerves ablaze and dying, coincide with my disdain
Numb now and without hurt or feelings or commiserate
I'll be down here waiting for you, to laugh at the fucking look on your face
She told me "Go to hell"... and I smiled
Because I haven't been home in a while

Bloodhound -a debt with the reaper-
Incorporeal hands move across the wall
Poetic in nature though ink-less they scrawl
Invisible scribbles and indecipherable riddles
Tongue twisters of the dead are the stories of how you fall
They beat with their fists upon the unfinished woodwork leaving the cobwebs undisturbed
They pound a tattoo unheard through the night, while screaming half whispered words
You sleep unbeknown with those mouths to your ear while the cold syllables bite at your skin
You pull up the sheets to put the goosebumps at ease but your body is dead with needles and pins

Hooks song
You took me to the ocean and threw me in
Swimming, the undertow is thick and thin
If I'd prefer the calmer waters then
I'm content to never win
And finding myself in the same damn puddles over and over again
So give me rocks to slam my beaten body
And waves to break me down
A tempest storm with eyes that call me
Trying its best; I'll never drown
Set the sails and raise the anchors
Come with me to where the wind will take us
Give us whales, sea beasts and krakens
Together the world will never break us
Swimming, the undertow is thick and thin
If I'd prefer the calmer waters then
I'm content to never win
And finding myself in the same damn puddles over and over again
So give me rocks to slam my beaten body
And waves to break me down
A tempest storm with eyes that call me
Trying its best; I'll never drown
Set the sails and raise the anchors
Come with me to where the wind will take us
Give us whales, sea beasts and krakens
Together the world will never break us

Contemporary darkness
Midwinter storms bring shrouds of clouds
that block the sun while raining down
yet the two are so unbound
that soon the cumulus are no longer found
But my days are black and there is no sun
no glow of hope to wish upon
it's safe to say I thought my skies were done
so I took root and drank from my own poison
Still I see no light making the day
but who needs it anyway?
I have the stars and found my moon
I am the evenings impending doom
I am the night, pavor nocturnus in the flesh
and I've made men fear their rest
I am...

Red hair and skull paint. (For DevlinDLC)
I love red hair
It's just a shame
That the fistfuls I get
Are taken from your shower drain
Still...
It pulls the same
I imagine it woven through my fingers
I can see it
Pulling hard, to scorpion your head
But I have to keep my arousal silent
Or you'll know hiding I'm under your bed
Finally, I'll wait for you to go to sleep
Did you know you snore?
Either way, that's the sound I'll be waiting for
After your last sip of wine tonight
Your head will spin to my delight
And a gritty powder coats your teeth ...

The frost along Salem
Night owls call through bloody beaks as the ravens wings make blankets to sleep
Darkened landscapes construct lullabies from deep
Deep within the shadows where the willow trees weep
The decorative frost approaches swiftly seemingly lost and wispy
To decorate the ropes that hang
Forgotten souls begotten of fear and pain
Screams rang out from Salem
Cheers and praise for god
Drown her, if she dies she's saved; but if she lives she dies today!
Sever the tongue from the blasphemies!
Hang the unholy liar!
Pile the sticks...

To the beauties and the beasts
So many of you look good thus far
Hiding behind your little miss avatar
Is that your real face captured by the still frame recorder?
I'll start my research now in alphabetical order
Ladies beware on these cold nights
And look over your shoulders in fear that I
Will come tonight just like the stars
And compare your face with your avatars
Close your curtains so I can't see
Get a dog if you don't have one
Or don't and put on a show for me
But creepy peeping sounds like fun
Latch and lock the doors and windows
In your home and...
