POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm 20. i don't know a damned thing about the world. To call myself an experienced poet would be asinine and ignorant. I write free-verse or haiku.

Dust
I trust in dust, I must
I must its dust
It’s what I lust, trusting in dust
Because dust never rusts
It’s soft to the touch
Too much dust makes me miserable
Hell, all dust does
I put trust in frivolous dust
I’m addicted to dust
For I must
I’m dust
"Dust to dust"
Right back in the crust
Liar, no trust in dust
All is nothing
While dust lies on everything
Dust on dust
Old dust
Just like air.
Oh how dust is everywhere....
I must its dust
It’s what I lust, trusting in dust
Because dust never rusts
It’s soft to the touch
Too much dust makes me miserable
Hell, all dust does

For I must
I’m dust
"Dust to dust"
Right back in the crust
Liar, no trust in dust
All is nothing
While dust lies on everything
Dust on dust
Old dust
Just like air.
Oh how dust is everywhere....

Yesterday i was shit
Yesterday i was shit
today i am a king
clinging to a needle like a king
addicted to my thoughts
my own drug dealer
looking in my past though a rear view mirror
slow, fast, slow, fast, slow, fast
a crash and more gas
revitalizing my repressed thoughts
trying to fix broken ties
though i know my thoughts are my own lies
trying to try
how i miss my old life
a guarantee is what they need
i cannot supply
i just lay here, looking at the shitty days

Cascade of Night
Cascade of night
My soul burns bright
Clarity the rarest of rarity
Save me from my own depravity
Release me from this captivity
So I can reach great lengths
Not sink
In the sea of empty
Dead dark
My soul stark
I will flee
Love me, love me
Loathe me, loathe me
I cannot decide!
Teach me, teach me
So I can reach tranquility
My soul burns bright
Clarity the rarest of rarity
Save me from my own depravity
Release me from this captivity
So I can reach great lengths
Not sink
In the sea of empty
Dead dark
My soul stark
I will flee
Love me, love me
Loathe me, loathe me
I cannot decide!
Teach me, teach me
So I can reach tranquility

They call me what i was
They call me what i was
but what i was, was a freak
an outcast
looking for someone to hold me
i am but a man
walking in this desolate land
trying trying trying
chasing happiness
how i want how i want what i cannot have, it is a mindless pursuit
a mindless pursuit
Breathing in the toxic smog
why am i wrong why cant i have what is mine'
i am a human
what right do you have to to take my right away
no one is free, no one is free
we are slaves
look at one...

Where do the Sheep Go?
Where do the sheep go?
We count and we count...
yet we lie here telling ourselves we can
battling sleep with scimitars
the mind won the race
first, second, third
we hear the birds
singing victory ballads
mocking us
We count and we count...
yet we lie here telling ourselves we can
battling sleep with scimitars
the mind won the race
first, second, third
we hear the birds

The Nature of Deception
I feel, i breathe
i squeal and i sneeze
The pollen and the trees
the seeds in the breeze
bringing life
feeding off the sunlight
drinking from the clouds
Death approaches
the end is near
the snow drops
the crops stop
frozen lakes
shielded sky
How i lie...
breathe is deceive
sneeze is defeat
the pollen-fallen
trees-the free
seeds-bullets
breeze-trajectory
life-death
sunlight-might
clouds-bowels

The Queen of Halloween
A sweet melancholy calls crows to eat those with eyes and show no mercy
The blood drenched red dressed witch summons the demons
hallows eve, hallows eve death to the disbelief
Evil takes the night giving new meaning to "Trick or Treat"
Trick the children, poison the treats will be the new Halloween
the unseen will be seen, gnashing teeth with human meat
No one will escape the the witches wicked wish
"sin, sin, sin the 31st i shall begin a new world with an end"
This is thy order, that is thy wish...
The blood drenched red dressed witch summons the demons
hallows eve, hallows eve death to the disbelief
Evil takes the night giving new meaning to "Trick or Treat"

the unseen will be seen, gnashing teeth with human meat
No one will escape the the witches wicked wish

My Insides
True happiness...
So much mirth
i barely had any
since birth
The pain...
my prevention
the moments
their intention
My soul
in submission
i look in the mirror
i see a parallel universe
within the eyes
my eyes
unable to realize
how much i despize
the rottenness
and bottomless pit
the facade i put on this pod
an empty shell
yearning the space
to be replaced
by a little glimmer of hope
where...

looking up from the deep
looking up from the deep
i see a moon
its gritty teeth
gun in air
wanting to execute my reprieve
How can the world allows this deed...
I spread the truth
now they are all lies
this is my crime
justice the grand illusion
first the institution
then unjust restitution
I ran
not willing
feeling so numb
hush
feel it
before they kill it
On trail looking at my peers
the devil in their ears
Lies spat out
crafted to perfection
making people look differently then their own reflection

Winter
Snow ain't white
look close
its pale
death
its stale
nothing lives underneath
it's hell
look close
its pale
death
its stale
nothing lives underneath

Demons
Sledgehammer, Sledgehammer, Sledgehammer
Pick it up and don't you stammer
My job is a job of the job to rob itself the right to sob
I have to be swift, i have to be quick
only one day to make bright turn gray
to bring destruction so i cannot function
We will not fail
We will walk this never-ending trail
Until we get battered with fiery hail
shackled and sent straight to hell
By a medicine-man
A Man who bears gifts
A Man who slits the wrist
A Man who damns demons
A Man...
