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.

Nine sheep Dead sheep
Sleepless nights
Countless weeks
Something is waiting there for me
Witching hour
Come and gone
How I wish you all could see
These nightmares lurking
Looking for a reason
Inside they are skulking
To commit the treason
But I keep counting dying sheep
To keep myself beyond their reach
Nine sheep ten sheep
Live sheep dead sheep
With the hunger of a wolf
I eat myself to sleep
Countless weeks
Something is waiting there for me
Witching hour
Come and gone
How I wish you all could see
These nightmares lurking
Looking for a reason
Inside they are skulking
To commit the treason
But I keep counting dying sheep
To keep myself beyond their reach
Nine sheep ten sheep
Live sheep dead sheep
With the hunger of a wolf
I eat myself to sleep

Cold, Swift and Clean
Sitting in the darkness
Somewhere between life and after that
I sharpen my blade with the cruelest intentions
Until summoned to dispatch
A bright fire at my feet
My list begins to glow
And as the embers dwindle down
Your name begins to show
I spread my raven wings
And take to the sky
I have come to take you in my arms
Don’t be afraid to die
The wind flicks this midnight shroud
Which hides my heartless chest
Nothing beats inside these bones
But echoes of the past
The hollowness of my body and eyes...
Somewhere between life and after that
I sharpen my blade with the cruelest intentions
Until summoned to dispatch
A bright fire at my feet
My list begins to glow
And as the embers dwindle down
Your name begins to show
I spread my raven wings
And take to the sky
I have come to take you in my arms
Don’t be afraid to die
The wind flicks this midnight shroud
Which hides my heartless chest
Nothing beats inside these bones
But echoes of the past
The hollowness of my body and eyes...

Suicidal reasoning
Endless rows of brick
Screams echoing down the halls
Laughter from the throne
Pain is exquisite
Asking it for more lashes
Just to feel something
living once again
When the flesh begins to weep
Addicted to hurt
Calling for more blood
Torture killing the numbness
Puddles at the feet
Skin is leather bound
Scars covering every inch
More force is applied
Masochist grinning
Suicide was the gateway
To an endless pain
Screams echoing down the halls
Laughter from the throne
Pain is exquisite
Asking it for more lashes
Just to feel something
living once again
When the flesh begins to weep
Addicted to hurt
Calling for more blood
Torture killing the numbness
Puddles at the feet
Skin is leather bound
Scars covering every inch
More force is applied
Masochist grinning
Suicide was the gateway
To an endless pain

Sonnet of the War Child
Transmutation, nucleus redesigned
Experimental reconfiguring
DNA strands set to be realigned
Nuclear waste excelled disfiguring
Radioactive sludge like solution
Scientifically overhauls the flesh
Manipulating it's evolution
Creates the children the gutters caress
Toxicity levels begin to grow
Red swollen eyes burning from the crying
Staring at the clouds which are black as crow
Gathering now together and dying
Post nuclear war, child of the past
Plays in the fallout of...

Bedtime horror haiku#5
Storm clouds rolled in cold
The wind beats against your house
Outside trees are still
The wind beats against your house
Outside trees are still

Bedtime horror haiku#4
A creak in the floor
and another in the walls
they wait for your sleep
and another in the walls
they wait for your sleep

Bedtime horror haiku #3
face in the window
hands touching glass as it stares
coaxing me outside
hands touching glass as it stares
coaxing me outside

night terrors
Awakened when the dog started barking
Awake and cannot move
Paralyzed and fully conscious
By unseen weight on top of you
Something large begins to stomp
Stomping down the hall
Your bedroom door is beat to hell
And beatings on the wall
Shadows in the corner
The corner of your room
Animated and moving free
Reaching out to you
They slip and slide their bodies black
Slither on your sheets
From the floor the beatings continue
The dog runs in retreat
Sudden silence and your body moves
You sit up...
Awake and cannot move
Paralyzed and fully conscious
By unseen weight on top of you
Something large begins to stomp
Stomping down the hall
Your bedroom door is beat to hell
And beatings on the wall
Shadows in the corner
The corner of your room
Animated and moving free
Reaching out to you
They slip and slide their bodies black
Slither on your sheets
From the floor the beatings continue
The dog runs in retreat
Sudden silence and your body moves
You sit up...

Bedtime horror haiku #2
My name was called out
Somewhere down the hallway black
But I live alone
Somewhere down the hallway black
But I live alone

Bedtime horror haiku. #1
---I think it's watching me---
No sleep on this night
Above my bed a shadow
Was not there before
No sleep on this night
Above my bed a shadow
Was not there before

When I'm not around
May these words anesthetize you like a hypnotic kiss
And rest like a hand at the base of your skull
Fluttering bats in your gut dance with bliss
Stare into my I’s and just…. Let go.
Like death my warmth covers your soul
As I whisper these sentences to dull your will
Without hesitation you give me your whole
Like possession you enter and leave with a kill
These are only words, a projection onto your soul
Hollow are my I’s echoing with bliss
My lips have become these sentences and your reading is my kiss
And rest like a hand at the base of your skull
Fluttering bats in your gut dance with bliss
Stare into my I’s and just…. Let go.
Like death my warmth covers your soul
As I whisper these sentences to dull your will
Without hesitation you give me your whole
Like possession you enter and leave with a kill
These are only words, a projection onto your soul
Hollow are my I’s echoing with bliss
My lips have become these sentences and your reading is my kiss
