POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Gravity
Smile and laugh, let the mask work,
Ignore it all and let the void lurk,
Pretend all is fine, let the mind forget,
Keep moving forward and don’t get upset,
Keep the facade strong, don’t let it crack,
Hold it together and ignore the black,
Look away from the dark, the depths within,
Ignore the weight and don’t let it begin,
It starts with a happy moment, the joy,
But built on stilts and destined to destroy,
The feeling the crack, that moment of bliss,
The chink in the armor and it’s time to miss,
Just a bit of happy, reminder of...

Webs of Life
Entagled, trapped and ensnared,
No way to move, frozen scared,
Spread defenseless, no escape,
Stuck in a web, free to take,
Stretched so thin, fight is gone,
Looking back, choice’s wrong,
Breath escalated, heart pounding,
In the dark, void surrounding,
No voice, no one to hear,
Fate is cruel, death is fear,
Suspended in air, it appears,
Tug and pull, eyes form tears,
Terror grips, the shadow eclipse,
Leg by leg, dread quivering lips,
It crawls closer, talons and teeth,
Jaw gapping, only darkness beneath,
No...

Retrace
Pencil to paper, a line, a trace,
a memory long ago, a shape, a face,
Shadow and shade, expression, depression,
Her eyes stare back, recession, digression,
Palm accross the sheet, forget it, erase,
Start over again, a line, a trace,
Find a new memory, a time, a place,
Think hard and long, no when, no space,
A page lays blank, just words, RETRACE!
Jump to the next, new name, new face,
Shadow and shade, nearly there, almost done,
She's almost complete, but no, still none,
Rip up the page, ball up the sheet, Retrace,
Out...

Hush
Torn deep within, a hole, a void,
It spreads and festers, destroyed,
What used to be can no longer remain,
When all is lost, nothing can be the same,
Empty, yet heavy, nothing, yet everything,
It’s presence always tugging at a string,
Seeking to fill the empty, satiate,
In the end, life will always decimate,
What could have been filled, gaping,
Void that was forgotten, reshaping,
Feel it’s weight begin to crush,
Soon the pain will fade with a silent hush.

What could have been filled, gaping,
Void that was forgotten, reshaping,
Feel it’s weight begin to crush,
Soon the pain will fade with a silent hush.

No Heat, No Burn
Hey there little fire, my little flame,
Speak to me, tell me your name?
You dance and twist, put on a show,
But who are you, from so long ago?
I loved your passion, your hot desire,
But these days, your just a liar,
Flame with no heat,
Fire with no burn,
Your lights just for show,
Why did you let it all go?
You burned so bright, unyielding light,
You spread so distant, None could resist it,
Then you lost your way, Yourself you betray,
Forgot your name, got lost in the game,
Became the shame and more of the...

A hidden play
A man sits before a curtain, the play He does not know,
Electricity in air, audience of one for the show,
It begins, the curtain draws slowly to open,
Nothing but a peek, the idea of a notion,
Before him a woman, radiant and gleaming,
Her eyes to his, her smile beaming,
The room grew quiet and still, frozen,
Time lost its way, this moment chosen,
All there was, all there could ever be,
Was this instant, second chance destiny?
Her eyes tore through, shredding hard exterior,
Crumbled, broken, fragmented; his exposed interior,
Fromman to boy,...

My Little Star
From up above, from down below,
Where I existed I could never know,
The Deep in the dark, the black of the nothing,
I never knew empty could feel so crushing,
Gasping for air, deep in the sea, out in space,
Neither up nor down could ever lead to any place,
Lost in a world I thought I knew, thought I could survive,
Never realizing how I could never really be alive,
Then in the deep, the dark, the absolute nothing,
There arose a small, bright, unequivocal something,
It shinned ever bright in the deep dark black, ...

Tick Tock
This quiet night, full of nothing,
This empty bottle, that once had something,
These thoughts, which fill the mind and haunt the soul,
These feelings, which bind and take control,
These memories, that never fade, never break,
This is all the past, that which future will take,
Each day, each hour, each minute and second,
Each passing tick, is a tock to be reckoned,
Each passing moment, is a now gone then,
Each chance, opportunity in a distant when,
Let it wash, let it consume, let it take over,
If you can't live now, how can you have closure?...

The Lingering Decay
The Lingering Decay.
Poisoned fog deep within the mind,
a tortured thought all confined,
Shrouded, clouded, the concept so crowded,
What's left when the space is lace,
the fabric of your own reality filled of holes,
The conscious, the mind, what it controls?
Just a perception, a deception of the worlds reception,
Your own moral, your value, another loop,
Twisted and pushed through, the birth,
The acceptance of society, your worth,
What's left in the minds eye?
When all are blind and just comply,
Is there a why?
Perhaps...
