Learning to Dance Again
Somewhere deep and locked away
there’s happy smiles and brighter days.
Shadows cast from built up walls
all fade away when nature calls.
Finding peace within the woods,
where creatures dwell and speak of good.
Rest among the falling leaves,
forget me nots and make believes.
Drift away to lands of dreams
with nothing ever as it seems.
He lets himself feel alive,
and learns to breathe thus he survives.
Centered in his stoic state
with far to much to contemplate,
gives himself a second chance
and shows...

Born from a Kiss
Your skin beneath my fingertips
so delicately sings.
The whispered words upon your lips
such joy to me it brings.
Much desire rests upon my tongue
that longs so for a taste.
The love we make so tenderly
a tear rolls down my face.
A soul that cries to know your heart
and satisfy desires.
This union never torn apart
forged in a passion’s fire.
In ecstasy our spirits dance
with deep climactic bliss.
So full a love born out of chance
beginning with a kiss.

Killed myself a thousand times
I’ve killed myself a thousand times
with callous words or silly rhymes,
thoughts that hide and go unspoken
leaves a lonely man heart broken.
I rise each day and hone my skills
but time is all that’s left to kill,
no more wars or battles fought,
memories are all I’ve got.
So I sit and write each day
in hopes that sadness slips away.
Will someone stop and chat awhile,
or walk my shoes a country mile.
Understand that I’m alright,
I work each day and rest at night,
A life played on the metronome,
rhythmic...

Forevermore
With trepidation I tiptoe inward.
An unflinching gaze into the madness
of an abused mind.
Wet with streams of pain and pleasure,
from whence no punishments
are left behind.
Eyes open to a little boy.
Impressionable, with so much life to live.
Then enter the thieves of joy,
some sins a man must not forgive.
I was a dead inside pre teen.
Nightmares replaced my childhood dreams.
Faces burnt into every scene,
how could no one hear my screams?
Adolescence, awkward and alone.
Bullied by the boys as the...

Because he must.
It’s words that go unspoken
that leaves a man so broken,
a stoney heart beats painful
the thickened blood of lust.
Though many steps are taken,
so much has been forsaken,
he reaches to the memories
for anything to trust.
His thickened skin so often hides
a softer soul within resides,
searching for the flower that was
fashioned from the dust.
For her forever pining,
with passion’s fire refining,
To love her for eternity
will always be a must.

More or less?
Slammed down a shot of sun,
a day begun,
far sooner than my liking.
Felt better in my dreams,
or so it seems.
This day so stark and striking.
Things loved will never stay,
they wash away,
never to return again.
Bound by the chains of pain,
I can’t restrain,
the temptations of my sin.
And so…
I die a little more
than I lived the day before.

I will always.
I found her there between the stars.
At the altar of unseen scars.
Resting softly without a sound,
she wore the night like an evening gown.
Her eyes the color of compromise,
a moonlit smile is a thin disguise.
To veil the pain she carries deep inside,
along with other things she cannot hide.
I touch her skin and feel my destiny,
A wayward traveler longing just to see.
She taste the pain upon my troubled lips,
as we embrace into a full eclipse.
Startled awake, was this just a dream?
Visions more...

If I were…
I am darkness
A tempest entwined within
the silence of midnight.
If I were light
My only desire, to forever be
The gleam in your eye.
Felt on the wind.
A tempest entwined within
the silence of midnight.
If I were light
My only desire, to forever be
The gleam in your eye.
Felt on the wind.

Work the steps
Step one
Never leave the house without
your gun.
Step two
The only person to be trusted
is you.
Step three
Never believe anything you see.
Step four
You’ve already won so never
keep score.
Step five
Kill first, and always be the last
one alive.
Step six
Be a magician and learn
some tricks.
Step seven
Leave mercy to the guy in heaven.
Step eight
Never ever be fucking late.
Step nine
Nothing is worth standing in line.
Step ten
Go back to one and start
over again.
Never leave the house without
your gun.

Autumnal Insanity
I have come to grips with the fact
that I am a monster.
A creation stillborn, yet ever evolving.
The epitome of a wolf in sheep’s
clothing.
Pulse pounding pendulum swings
from somber silence to manic malice.
The paradox of a deep desire to love
and an uncontrollable rage.
As fall approaches and the air changes
my heart grows colder with it.
I feel the gravity of disdain pulling
me headlong into madness.
The day will come, All Hallows’ eve
when no longer shall I wear a mask.
There will I be born again...
that I am a monster.
A creation stillborn, yet ever evolving.
The epitome of a wolf in sheep’s
clothing.
Pulse pounding pendulum swings
from somber silence to manic malice.
The paradox of a deep desire to love
and an uncontrollable rage.
As fall approaches and the air changes
my heart grows colder with it.
I feel the gravity of disdain pulling
me headlong into madness.
The day will come, All Hallows’ eve
when no longer shall I wear a mask.
There will I be born again...

EROTIC POEM

To taste a flower.
So soft her flower’s petals be
with dew to quench a tongue’s desire.
Pure ecstasy the destiny,
to set a lustful man afire.
A summer breeze within a breath
as gentle kisses tease her so.
His fingers move to do their part,
and feels her moving to and fro.
Their pulses dance in rhythmic pace
he sees the pleasure on her face.
As pressure mounts he drinks her in
while she begins to moan again.
She arches hard into her man
his gratitude upon her lips.
To please her was his only plan
he knows success from...
with dew to quench a tongue’s desire.
Pure ecstasy the destiny,
to set a lustful man afire.
A summer breeze within a breath
as gentle kisses tease her so.
His fingers move to do their part,
and feels her moving to and fro.
Their pulses dance in rhythmic pace
he sees the pleasure on her face.
As pressure mounts he drinks her in
while she begins to moan again.
She arches hard into her man
his gratitude upon her lips.
To please her was his only plan
he knows success from...

Happily Damned
There never was a fall from grace
or sunshine rays across my face.
Born to the bottomless, I never fell,
so give me your blood and welcome
to hell.
I am the predator you are the prey,
built to seduce so you can’t get away.
Love me you will to the hour of your death,
when I’m drunk on your blood and you
take your last breath.
I’m struck with amusement that some
call me myth.
As I’m reaping the harvest with
each bloody kiss.
So dance and be careless my vascular friends,
No matter the story I know how it ends....
or sunshine rays across my face.
Born to the bottomless, I never fell,
so give me your blood and welcome
to hell.
I am the predator you are the prey,
built to seduce so you can’t get away.
Love me you will to the hour of your death,
when I’m drunk on your blood and you
take your last breath.
I’m struck with amusement that some
call me myth.
As I’m reaping the harvest with
each bloody kiss.
So dance and be careless my vascular friends,
No matter the story I know how it ends....
