POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Sweet nightmre
She came to me as a transparent beam
Her hair a blaze, blinds the sturdiest of eye
Her skin was fluid with synchronized tides
Though no moon could exist here
I uttered a word, more of a gasp
The splinters in my throat prevent me
I ventured a hand shakily forward
The unknown strikes thunderous fear
I forget to breathe in anticipation
My last wind flurries, escapes my lips
The panic kicked, left me unconscious
I awoke lost and hungry for air,
eyes scrambled for slight recognition
With sigh of relief I welcomed what came

Scot
My eyeball wanders, captures the corners
for it can't stay fixed
on the dread
A man so strong, or boy
more suitable
Lays stripped on his death-bed
The constant beeps
and flow of chemicals
They say "to fight the cells"
A boy you can't judge,
no evil to speak
Lays doped and
forced through hell
His humour remains
when his eyes aren't so glazed
My words struggle
to be said
Many can't come
and I understand but
importance hangs on a thread
The fear grows strong

Insomnia
I laid there waiting
for the weight on my eyes
Focused my breathing
Thoughts laugh at the cries
The scent of pine invades and conquers
Time is folded, shredded, remouldered
The nerving window thoughtlessly agape
and the nights orchestra teases
and plays no escape
Smothered by persistent conscience
The tick tock reminder
of constance
Alternative battles of vengance and love
Mental theatre
can't repeat enough
A stretch and a yawn
Eyes widen in protest
I yearn for the sleep,
sacred and purest
The trying is over
New...

Touched without feeling
Her soul was produced
up from the depths
Skin white like ice
Hair black as death
A mimic of gentleness
swindle of emotion
I'll be the fool,
you play devotion
Eyes sharp as barbed hooks
Calculated deviance
Embracing the weak
makes a false alliance
A sea battered cliff
Gentle erosion
Lions on buffalo
A slow execution
Already weakened
Breaking my spirit
A slow process,
a fox-like tactic
Alien to empathy
Good friends with torment
Your skin it crawled
When...

Even a rat is a social creature
Thrashed my head forward
Smashed him like plaster
Eyes rolled, showing me white
Before my mind
translates to my body
My head recoils
and rockets again
His body, it staggers
Instinctively so
Before the knees buckle
and his body slumps
From this eagal view
The portrait of a victim
His nose is amiss, raw open gum
where teeth once resided
There will be no regret
No pity, no remorse
No human lays there
A rat in mouse clothing
I pull up my hood
Turn...

Last night i walked in your landscape
I suck in deep your air
Nose tricked with your fragrence
Eyes widen in dispare
Your branches trip me as i walk.
Your scene is perfectly crafted
A vast aray of green faded blue
"How long have you grafted?"
My words dribble as i talk.
Undeniable beauty evanesced
Vanquished from my dream
Returned the haunt i posess
From which i once escaped.
Now as a ghost i walk
Nose filled dusts of ancient
My mind vacant as i stalk
To walk again in your landscape.
Nose tricked with your fragrence

Plague of thoughts
I walked through
the old oak trees
Watched the waltz
of the leaves...
I thought of you
Stood amongst
the bleak, grey streets
Viewed the people
who never greet...
I thought of you
Took shelter beneath
a hanging cliff
The ocean swept
my head adrift...
I thought of you
I felt the thoughts
disolve my day
My minds decor
achromatic grey...
I thought of you
I heard the crows
caw a choir
A symphony for
the grey to sire...
I thought of you
Never far from
my minds reach
To think astray

Upon a corpse i stumbled
What stench is this upon my tread
Foul with suction, my foot misled
No need for introduction
The stink is too familiar
Feed my troubled lung
Weeze and burn peculiar
Distract my thoughts
Trial and judge later
This swamp of a corpse
My boot the aligator
Was that skull, ooze of brown matter
Feast for the maggots,
Marsh of a platter
Bridge my back to free my boot
Ear hammer crack
A slip to suit
Engulfed in a flesh
Organs of an age
Putrid and disgust
Skin winces, shakes my cage
Vomit saturates
That problem is the...

Future
Like unwanted bones,
cast aside
Useless insignificance
Floating aimlessly,
among common entities
A breath below sufficience
A crawl is wasted, energies lost
A simple thought, mind exceded
Gradually,
darkness looming closer
The whisper of a breeze, the whisper's receded
Edging nearer the void
My being, reality, so distant
A gulp further, all but glory
Snuffed within an instant
cast aside
Useless insignificance
Floating aimlessly,
among common entities
A breath below sufficience
A crawl is wasted, energies lost
A simple thought, mind exceded
Gradually,
darkness looming closer
The whisper of a breeze, the whisper's receded
Edging nearer the void
My being, reality, so distant
A gulp further, all but glory
Snuffed within an instant

The last laugh
with severed limbs and twitching eyes forgive my inconvenience
sporadic visions of the present tense i lost my friend coherence
controlled me with your smile
consoled me with your skin
through the dark depts of my pain and the pleasures in our sin
i seek the end with no regrets, a tear-washed smile to wave farewell
my shadow looms, thinks me naive and mocks my crimson shell
sporadic visions of the present tense i lost my friend coherence

consoled me with your skin
through the dark depts of my pain and the pleasures in our sin
