POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm far from being the best poet, but every poem of mine was written from my heart. They're all precious to me, and I hope that you'll enjoy reading them.
The Silver Lining
Life’s never black and white
There are always shades of grey
There’s no clear distinction between wrong and right
People tend to do things their own way.
People always say to look for the silver lining
Yet how can I with this unbearable pain?
My quality of life was dramatically declining
Why my own father would put me through this, even I can’t explain.
I can’t stand people who talk so easily
Without understanding the actual facts
I yearn for a better life almost dreamily
I had no idea how much of an impact this...

Survivor
(Verse 1)
I swore that this was the end
I couldn’t even trust my so-called friends
What’s the point of sticking together?
Loyalty is fickle, and it all depends…
On whether or not you’ve got the goods
Like the wolf stalking little Red in the woods
Abandoning a pure soul once he took his pleasure, hah!
And yet they’ve all said: “the hood’s always got your back.”
(Chorus)
Why do I bother justifying your actions?
Whatever love I had for you burnt out with the ashes
You hurt even me, your own flesh and blood
The dam has...

Chasing the Sun
(Verse 1)
For too long I’ve been trapped in the shadows of your toxicity
I’ve now decided to do what’s only best for me
I’m sick and tired of caving in to your blackmailing
The light’s returned to my eyes and I can finally see.
(Chorus 1)
I’m lying down on a golden beach
Later I’ll take a dip in the clear blue reef
Enjoy myself until the day is done
I can finally breathe when I’m chasing the sun.
(Verse 2)
My morale was low, and I felt trapped
Didn’t even know the strength I had
It took a while, but I...

Nírnaeth Arnoediad
Though tragic was the brutal end of Gelmir of the Ñoldor
It holds no comparation to the Battle of the Unnumbered Tears
The anguish of his brother’s demise was too much for Gwindor
And he led his force to their doom against the Valar most feared.
Though the Dark Lord trembled before his ire
The Union of Maedhros was doomed from the start
For the sons of Fëanor were cursed by the oath of their Sire
And they hunted for the Silmarils, though it weighed heavily in their hearts.
Despite the alliance between the children of Ilúvatar

Dear Hero, From Villain
Shepard,
I am not pleased to hear news about your daughter threatening to raise a galactic army against my son, Hades, at daycare today. The time you did it was bad enough, now your daughter swears that she has gotten the synthesized Reapers to cooperate with her! As the oldest and most powerful of the Reapers, I find this unacceptable as it is I who should have supreme control over them; only I! The universe bends to me, and I will not allow a puny organic like your daughter to defeat my superior son.
Harbinger.
Harbinger,
What can I say?...

Gravity
No matter the time of day, the sky is alit with light
The sun shines shamelessly during the day
Past dusk, the stars shyly twinkle, and the moon glows white
Both celestial objects are impressive in their display.
The Earth below is their common ground
All three held together by gravity
Blessed by its rays, the sun became crowned
While the moon’s reflected surface holds a hue of sensuality.
Nuclear core and reflection reach out to each other
As the sun and moon race after one another along the sky
The moon, named Luna, provides...

A New Year's Haiku
Life always goes on
Yet I want to improve mine
Don't try to stop me.
I aim for the best
I will not settle for less
This is my life's fight.
The New Year brings hope
I'll take advantage of it
Come and watch me shine.
Yet I want to improve mine
Don't try to stop me.

I'll take advantage of it
Come and watch me shine.

Underskin
Emptiness held my mind and soul captive
In a whirlwind of bitter disappointment and sorrow
The Christmas cheer brought no warmth to my heart
The cracks quickly formed on my armor
Until the dam burst.

Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
The universe nearly bursts from it
Billions of stars release their heat and light
This is how I travel through the cosmos
I’m a being of pure energy
The intent must be there, and the correct tools must be chosen
For my transformation into a physical form
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
But it can be altered
So grab a match and light up a candle
One moment, darkness creeps up on you
The next, I ignite to life with a majestic roar
One day my physical body will die, yet my energy will return...

Last Christmas
Christmas is supposed to be a festive holiday
A time where friends and loved ones gather together
Yet last Christmas, all I wanted was to escape
And find my inner peace so that I don’t have to remember.
Christmas is supposed to be a time for family
Yet last Christmas was spent alone with my mother
Our family is broken; it was absolute agony
The hardship was purposely caused by my own father.
Last Christmas was spent praying for better times to come
We put our faith and destiny in God’s hands
I wished with all my heart for us to...

Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Xeno Style
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not shout or you're going to die,
The xeno infestation is here.
They come out at night,
They knock down the doors,
They give us quite a fright as they leave a trail of gore,
The xeno infestation is here.
x
They want to take us to their hive,
They want to make us hosts,
They're gonna stick a tube down our throats,
Keep your mouth shut so we can stay alive!

Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not shout or you're...
You better not cry,
You better not shout or you're going to die,
The xeno infestation is here.

Jingle Bells: AVP Style
Jingle bells,
Corpses smell,
The Xeno Queen lays more eggs;
Weyland Yutani did something naughty,
Oops, there goes my leg.
Jingle bells,
Shotgun shells,
The Predators are now here;
The hunt has begun, you better run,
It's just that time of year.
Running through the woods,
Not once looking back,
Gotta protect my goods,
Or risk getting attacked.
Have to get of here,
To keep my skull intact,
Can't give into my fears,
Or a Xeno will stab my ass.
Jingle bells,
Corpses smell,
The Xeno...
