POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction Been writing songs since I was nine. I can't be the judge of when they started being good, but I have a massive backlog that I'm going to be dumping here. Possibly all of them, even though a lot are rather embarrassing.
Modeus
Behind the eyes of Modeus.
A secret lust arise.
A passion that is made for us.
Until all things dies.
Working hard for nothing is all you do all day.
Wishing for just something, a reason to get away.
Distance yourself from everyone so you can be yourself.
Hiding behind carnal hunger for your mental health.
Follow me today.
It feels like nobody sees you here.
Take my hand, there’s nothing to fear.
I will take you.
Behind the eyes of Modeus.
A heart that only fills with lust.
Save your soul or turn to dust. ...

It's Not Forever
I had a dream once.
I didn’t like how it ended.
We see only what we want.
But how can I pretend?
That you’re not dead.
I saw the mountains.
Growing old and gray.
From hardened faces.
Eroded away.
It’s not forever, they said.
That I will watch the dead.
If I can end it all right now.
Would anyone hold me down?
I saw the fields.
Dying and growing again.
Every harvest it yields.
Numbers beyond ken.
Withering wastelands.
Glaciers overtook it all.
I remain standing.
But I’m...

Compacted Ice
How are you little witch?
You stupid little bitch.
I’ll show you who I am.
And then you’ll understand.
I’m just a messenger.
A messenger of death.
I’ll have a word with her.
There is no question left.
I am the king of the frozen world you call your home.
Defender of the wilderness of barren ice and stone.
The forests farthest north are where you cast your spells.
Deep in compacted ice is where your angel dwells.
How are you, you’re not a witch.
But every time you wish.
Others would see that truth.
You...

Yesterday's Back Again
Hide in stocks of corn.
Run in fields of wheat.
So long as the wheat’s not trampled.
Underneath her feet.
Dwelling in the barley.
Live among the oat.
Drinking wine and honey.
Down her grizzly throat.
Years have come and years have gone.
Flying by between her songs.
From the northern forests sent.
See her tail and compliment.
Mountains bring the marten pelts.
Summer comes and snows doth melt.
Time passes, long grasses bend.
Yesterday is back again.
Visiting her homeland. ...

The Banished Boy
Oh, God, help us, oh, oh.
We are drifting alone.
Nowhere left to go, oh.
This is not our…
Time.
This enemy of mine.
No fate can be a crime.
But somehow I still find.
That time.
Is eating at my mind.
So much dead inside.
I'm leaving this behind.
Oh, oh, this world is too much to bear.
Oh, and through it all I ceased to care.
So send me away from here.
I will never draw near.
The outcast.
The dead last.
The furthest from your mind.
Forgotten.
Downtrodden.
In hells...

Offer It Up
Yes, you're overrated and you know you hate it.
There's only one thing that could set you free.
So bring your troubles, bring them to me.
Offer it up as a willing sacrifice.
Offer it up if you're willing to pay the price.
So offer it up, and a piece of good advice.
Offer it up to be pleasing in the Father's eyes.
Does it drive you crazy or is it amazing how the love I send to you is true?
So is it befriending or is it offending?
I love you far too much to do that to you.
Offer it up as a willing sacrifice.
Offer it up if...

Head In The Clouds
Do I look like one who would fool you?
You know I'd do anything for you.
I know I could be quite the cruel man.
You know I would rather be your man.
Come on, come on, my head's in the clouds.
Come on, come on, and shout it out loud.
Come on, come on, get lost in the crowd.
Come on, come on, I'll make my girl proud.
Come on, come on, my head's in the clouds.
I want to fly like the birds on high.
I know you won't take the wrong guy.
That's why I'm confident in your choice.
You know I'll be waiting for your voice.

Stratosphere
Come, my little girl, I want to hold you tight.
Come over here, it'll be alright.
Nothing else to do around these parts.
Come, my little baby, won't you hold my heart.
I go off into the stratosphere.
It's okay, I have no fear.
I'll just ride my rocket here.
I hear sweet voices in my ear.
Little girl, won't you ride with me?
We'll take flight, I'll set you free.
There's nothing else you'll ever need if you want to fly with me.
Hey, babe, I accept your plea.
I know you want to carry me.
I say we both can be everything...

Fly Away, Girl
When I hit ground.
And I was found.
I didn't make a sound.
I had fallen down.
Hadn't used my wings, so I lost them.
I hope I can be forgiven.
While you're here with me.
Want to take a piece?
Then you can fly away, girl, fly away.
From the whole world, fly away.
You are my pearl.
Fly away, girl, fly away.
Baby, do you care?
That I'm over there?
Want to feel the air?
Flowing through your hair?
Hadn't learned to sing like a birdie.
Crown me like a king, I'm still learning.
Since...

Flying Together
I'm sitting here, looking at you.
Now I know, I know what to do.
I've got to fly.
Fly with me, girl.
Come on now, let's get away.
Let's give our bow and leave this place.
I've got to fly.
Fly with me, girl.
Let's fly together.
And fly forever.
Cause I love this weather.
How 'bout you?
Standing under a rain cloud.
Shouting my voice out loud;
I don't know where to go.
I don't know what to see.
I don't know who to call.
And I don't know what to be.
So let's fly together.
Let's...
Now I know, I know what to do.
I've got to fly.
Fly with me, girl.
Come on now, let's get away.

I've got to fly.

And fly forever.
Cause I love this weather.

Shouting my voice out loud;
I don't know where to go.
I don't know what to see.
I don't know who to call.
And I don't know what to be.
So let's fly together.

Losing It All
You can't stop now.
You'll trip and fall.
Fall on the ground.
Losing it all.
Get up and go.
Even the slow.
You have to run.
To be the one.
Losing it all.
Don't trip and fall.
You must reach the end.
Or begin all over again.
This time you can't fall.
Can't keep losing it all.
You'll trip and fall.
Fall on the ground.
Losing it all.
Get up and go.
Even the slow.
You have to run.
To be the one.
Losing it all.
Don't trip and fall.
You must reach the end.
Or begin all over again.
This time you can't fall.
Can't keep losing it all.

Take A Step Back
The puzzles are hurting your mind.
You've fallen so far behind.
You can't solve the troubles on your own.
Beginning to feel you should just go home.
Stop and listen to my advice.
You've tried and failed this way twice.
So take a step back.
Time to see what you may.
Take a step back.
And you might see the way.
You've fallen so far behind.
You can't solve the troubles on your own.
Beginning to feel you should just go home.

You've tried and failed this way twice.
So take a step back.
Time to see what you may.
Take a step back.
And you might see the way.
