POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
That thing they call love...
Raging winter fire, frozen flames dancing.
Confused clairvoyant thought, infuriated peaceful state.
Painful numbness, restless comfort.
Horrifyingly comedic, fulfilling emptiness.
Real illusions, invisible opaqueness.
Saddest happiness, ugliest beauty.
Behind the veil of serenity lies disarray and chaos, drowning in the vortex sinking deeper down, as the sweet taint consumes your mind until you are an empty husk just pretending - automated responses & actions.
...just for one more turn on the rack.

Will I step into the light?
I know who I am now
Not sure who that is exactly
But I do know who I am now
I lost myself within myself
In search for I hidden within me
Found someone I didn't know
I must accept who I found
I don't hate or fear it, I think...
Trying to understand it all
Am I an artist for me? Only for me?
It's time to venture outward
Outside my comfort zone
The dream has always been
To live to play, to play to live
I know who I am now
I will take the risk, it is soon time
Moving on & out, build a...

My Unholy Curse
The warmth of the fresh crimson
Blankets the soul like it impedes the vision
Steam still lingers forth, then dissipates
The end of one soul's suffering so great
No hell can contain, capture or maintain
The illusion of instinct so deeply ingrained
Where the dead dance yet lay restrained
Attempting survival, the living wait in pain
Dying now, knowing how the end came to be
I heard the sounds of one suffering so violently
I now see the tortured sounds came from me
And the gravity of what I've done now come to me
My...

Helpless Dichotomy
Nostalgic dreamscape, restricted view
I found myself above the stars
Naked & drowning, slip into the void
Reticent ideology not withstanding
I lost myself, blinded by sight
Regurgitated by infinite imagination
I retrieve myself one more time
Spiraling toward the event horizon
Shreds of sanity; shattered archetype
I forget myself... divinity enslaved
Take a trip to the great beyond
Someone else is taking over
The fear of guilt now growing strong
Will I survive... this Helpless... Dichotomy?
Forsaken...

Tortured Union
I tore through my chest to bear to you my heart
I clawed open my rib cage hoping we'd never part
I opened my veins to show you my blood is red
You set me on fire while we were in bed
You flayed my flesh, you bit right to the bone
You used my lap like your own personal throne
You tighten your slender hands, tenderly around my neck
We left each other in a sweaty quivering wreck
I wish the pain would never ever truly end
Alone i could not for myself properly fend
When it's over, again i want to scrape against your walls
Make you scream and...

Echo.
Boomerang vibrations return.

Midnite Approaching
Bring the hurt, bring the pain, shatter the sky, splintered with rain.
Stifle all sound, vibrations abstain, quell every verse, suppress the refrain.
Hide the sun, restrain the moon, extinguish the stars, curse every boon.
Keep me locked away in an unventilated dark musty room.
Otherwise let me loose and don't try to run, hide or escape my wrath.
Stay out of my way, don't be an immovable obstacle in my juggernaut path.
Midnite's coming, the hour arrives, tension grows higher...
Hide your weak, sick & venerable, douse my lit fires.......

Abstract Scarecrow
I thought I had an opinion... But in my head I found only paper mache.
I imagined I was sculpted... Something more than a lump of moldy clay.
A wish bone not a fish bone stuck sideways inside your throat.
The sky changed shape shape... From green to deep purple & shadow grey.
Like nocturnal hauntings... Dancing in the clouds amid fractal minutiae.
A whirlwind of curtains falling liquid kaleidoscope memories.
A chemical taste residue... Still not quite fully integrated into my depths.
Travelling parallel worlds... Taming demons for...
