POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Traits or characteristics
At what point does my trait become a disorder
My fleeting emotions become apathy
And all the little treats I savor become an addiction
Sweet whispers to the liquid love in my veins
When does becoming more monster and less man
Become a real problem.
My fleeting emotions become apathy
And all the little treats I savor become an addiction
Sweet whispers to the liquid love in my veins
When does becoming more monster and less man
Become a real problem.

Will you even notice?
My cerebral cortex is a catacomb of cryptic thoughts
A labyrinthine odyssey through the recesses of my mind's vault
The synaptic fissures are a maze of convoluted design
A cartography of cognitive dissonance, where sanity's hard to define
My lexicon is a lexicon of lugubrious lamentations
A thesaurus of tortured tropes, and melancholic narrations
The phonetics from my throat are a fusillade of futile fears
A cacophony of crescendoing chaos, through a prism of tears
My consciousness is a canvas of kaleidoscopic despair
A fresco of...

I hide in plain sight where your vision blurs my smile into a contorted mess
I find your soul appetizing when I creep inside your kingdom's walls
hunger pangs reaching for your neck and fall asleep instead
No I wouldn't put you at risk,
though as high as you've made them, I confess
I found a hole in your bell frame that I've chiseled in,
it's okay to be fickle, I find this all so abysmal as well
It's intensity that swallows us all whole,
seeping familiarity makes me feel uneasy upon your kiss
like the world makes me sick the way I can feel it...

Evergreen
I’ve never met an enemy that wasn’t a friend
Cascading hatred like a blanket of love
Auras igniting a multicolor cornucopia
I felt heaven become flame bound from their touch
In the end we all just need to open up
Like an autopsy, well maybe that’s enough
I sweep the sands of regret evenly across the plain
Hoping one little hurricane that could-
Blows my what-if wishes away
I fade helplessly into nothing but a stain
left on the floor to outline by exiting pose
What does it matter anyways?
I’ve never said I’d stay long I suppose ...

Dark Sway
I'd like to watch you come undone
until every strand of your flesh coils
around like a snake waiting to strike
We're all just meat onesies with a skeleton center
and I've had my fill
Why haven't I outgrown disaster and melancholy?
Still a ticking bomb with a short fuse
but so lazy I can't stay lit
If love is the way to happiness and a fulfilling life
why does it all bore me so much?
Like a kid at a oxytocin candy shop
Just to end up getting high on their own supply
My sweet demise will be everlasting peace
...

Better
If I had a better mind
I could bend the little travesties.
Make amends with the Gods of everything
Gravity wouldn't feel so damn heavy
and I could finally say something happy
Not melodramatic conversation pieces
A real hopeful and respectful sentencing
where I didn't have to fake my conviction
just to make you smile
and watch you walk away with a part of me
I don't want to learn another lesson
I don't want to see the worse side of my depression
Because sometimes the medication is too much to take
remember when you said...

Hungry
I swallowed the sun
that casted it's warm rays
on all the people I know, long ago
the hollow hole deep within me
was illuminated for moment
For all to see the good I still had
just for the abyss
to grow dark once again.

You'll hear a lot of things about me
some great,
from good people
some bad from hurt hearts
I hope you don't mind son,
Your father,
was a wanderer,
barely together with a broken heart
and a decent fellow to some
At this point still trying to find my place
and leaving destruction in my wake
You're way too young to know
and I'm happy to hold you still
I hope you never lose that smile
As I watched mine slip from every other photograph
until it's been away for awhile...
And I'd give my life...

Tired
You found a way to resolve yourself
but no intention to include me
you stay hands up, head down
because that's what they wanted to see
I frantically smile at the barrel
but no intention to assume it was yours
I stay hands down, head up
because we both know
I was always bound to go up in smoke
but no intention to include me
you stay hands up, head down
because that's what they wanted to see
I frantically smile at the barrel
but no intention to assume it was yours
I stay hands down, head up
because we both know
I was always bound to go up in smoke

The Gods We Can Kill
Dagger Eyes
Staggered Breaths
Demons on standby
Crosses from a past life
Hundreds of martyrs
And their ropes tight
White as ghosts for miles
Tattered Death on their skin
Arms wide open
They still insist
Cyanide Smiles
Because we all know
That Heaven was Created by a Plagiarist
Staggered Breaths
Demons on standby
Crosses from a past life
Hundreds of martyrs
And their ropes tight
White as ghosts for miles
Tattered Death on their skin
Arms wide open
They still insist
Cyanide Smiles
Because we all know
That Heaven was Created by a Plagiarist

Came to
What has it come to?
matter of fact it's that little hop in your step
A little silly grin once her name starts being mentioned again
Little nicknames and rhyme schemes,
Fucking so cute it makes you want to puke
Rainbows
It's the
happenstance pillow talks,
once in the while the bed gets new groove
you want to outline it in chalk
for a crime
of them being your cinderblock in a mafia movie
because you're falling deep
A little nibble here and there
now you're marked like Cain
but she's not Able to hold your heavy heart ...

God Of Crows
Wire mesh splatter
Just all feathers and talons
matter of talent
painted from blood of the evidence
Heavens just a place of mind
mine's like minefield
calmer on the outside
out sized karma by age 9
fitted for a crown that wouldn't fit
now it sits wrapped around the horns
persuaded by an outside force,
of course the worse has better nails
For the Devil's in the details
and when I try to kneel
my feet fail
Slipping on an outdated concept
and causing offense and pandemonium
I'm as phony as they come
Just all feathers and talons
matter of talent
painted from blood of the evidence
Heavens just a place of mind
mine's like minefield
calmer on the outside
out sized karma by age 9
fitted for a crown that wouldn't fit
now it sits wrapped around the horns
persuaded by an outside force,
of course the worse has better nails
For the Devil's in the details
and when I try to kneel
my feet fail
Slipping on an outdated concept
and causing offense and pandemonium
I'm as phony as they come
