POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
What?
I once performed beautifully, effortlessly for a crowd
That I now feel doesn't deserve it
A crowd of overly sensitive bipeds,
ironic for that curvature in the spine,
yet I see only spineless beings parading
Feathers fanned out
Dancing gracefully in full view
Enraged by the stranger's gaze
That you, yourself bring to attention
Standing ovation for the classic imbecility
You breathtaking illiterate generation
Where ignorance is a superpower
And kids are baffled by the Hero
Tragedy telecast at 5 o'clock
Adamant on...

That you, yourself bring to attention
Standing ovation for the classic imbecility
You breathtaking illiterate generation
Where ignorance is a superpower
And kids are baffled by the Hero
Tragedy telecast at 5 o'clock

Think of it
Plans,
crash down at my feet
Days,
never fail to surprise me
Ways,
they teach me to let go of my enemies
I
Don't know why it's taken so long to see
I
Never wished for hopelessness surrounding all these
People who try to calm my waves
But my sea is too dastardly
I
Paint my world the only shade I see
Now I don't want to go
But here I am again parading art
In the name of existential means
I
Bury my heart to see
the tale unfold
right above me
Seems so desperate in hindsight, ...

Martyr

A piece of mine
It would exterminate hate
Upon yourself,
lift you up,
And carry the weight a smarter way
You wanted to outsmart the class
But GPA is a measure of obidence
not intellect
All you did...
was set yourself on fire
to keep others warm.
And avoid building yourself a stronger foundation.
You tried to argue with statues
So poised and ready to attack
Preaching to hate...

Solemn
It wasn't the howling
That disturbed me
The silence breaking
It was the metal screeching
When Hell paid my broken heart a visit.
Hunched over like at dinner
After you worked long hours
Just to get out and see me,
Falling asleep briefly
To hear my voice
You said it was worth it
I'd get so lost in your eyes
But mine would catch you falling
My tired butterfly
The Monarch of dreams.
..........But you're not waking up anymore
...You drifted too far this time,
You always...

Sleepless Agony
Another night,
I can barely sleep
If I die before I wake
Let whatever God may
Leave me in a purgatory state
At least it's somewhere and something
That I can actually relate
I'm not overworked
But it's enough
Tired, angry,
Sweet talk oblivion
then get bored
because it's too easy to control
and I get afraid of what thoughts
I can conjure up,
lose grip and forget
on who really channels who
While the visions all around
Crawl to the darkest corner in the room

Exit Stage Left.
Ever wander around the bustling cities and still feel alone?
Maybe even find yourself on a park bench, watching others play roles of society.
Becoming the audience to their story, as they are dancing, running and walking across the stage. The sky consists of the stage lightning, Hell is the under stage,
Heaven is backstage and you would be understudies.
When the curtain falls, does the audience praise your performance?
The role you've played, grand or not, are they laughing? Applauding?
Your God's the director, your parents the stars and characters you try...

Uninspired
Altruistic internally?
All be it hopefully.
All truth isn't all it's cracked up to be
Albeit I find people are at a loss to me
A little more prey than predator it seems
Borderline Blasphemy
But it's the last of me I find disgusting
Barely able to keep a smile
Balancing happiness with a bitter fee
Brightly eyed masterpiece
Certainly apathy has taken a toll
Catastrophe with social complexities
Cities built with their cracking molds
Casually I await Death's ecstasy
Cause and effect of my dead-end soul.

Shoots and ladders with skeletons sliding across headstones
Teeter tattered angel wings
Eye Skillfully see, saw my beauty queen
Slide into an open grave
Here she's lied,
with that candy cane frame
Oh my life will never be the same
Trouble follows the leader these daisy chain kinda days.
Hops and scotch,
heads up seven up, Lemon drops,
Getting drunk on your childish thoughts
For all atrocities you have the monopoly
A B C uno, dos, tres,
Simon says,
You're a waste of space.
Get in your red land rover
Red rover red rover
Mistake a red light for a green ...

Control
The most powerful and easiest way to control someone, is to help them...
While rain pelted the car
My eyes were closed
slowly dissipating
Fated with tomorrow
But hopeless thoughts continue invading
My happiness never gets too far
In the world where vultures
Circle the victim waiting for a meal
Corporate or animal kingdom alike
It's always better to be the hand
Than the knife.
Coarse the patient one
Push the reckless son
Encase the helpless form
Become a quick...

Take me away
You left this world,
from body to essence,
now we wait till the essence turns
to a presence of a coincidence,
My mind is wandering and im asking myself
Why didn't I ever pay attention?....
I heard the sickness took over you
and still kept my distance
over the simple plastic words you threw at me,
I'd take it all back, but I guess its true
Angels don't belong among our existence....
You'll be that...

This face of mine is just a frame
Death is on my mind
God help us
but I don't think he can
I found a garden to bury my secrets
Feed them carcasses and ruminate
Arsenic thoughts upon my friendlies
Pseudo acts of faith to the enemy's face
They see the good in me
While I see the bad in them
What could be daffodils in bloom
Turned into spite in it's place
I wake up early to smoke my demons out
Play catch up with the Devil in the mirror
Gaze at the floor where I'll take my fall
swish the whiskey around my mouth
And chase it down...

Fixate on the sky
I'm not art,
I'm trash in pretty packaging
The Comatose angel,
I'm always dying for the audience
I'll only perform at night
Where I wear my scars like stripes
and while everything's always gloom
Petals in bloom,
Underneath the star crossed skies
Come on now,
practice at 9
The Scene?
My demise
I witness the fake making it's way
Stay away from the days that I'm awake
Gone,
like the times I felt love
Strong,
like the hits I took from you
Dove. ...
