POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My name is C. R. Powers, and I write a range of poems. Anything from erotica to horror to fantasy. I find that the diversity is satisfying. On a really good day, I write amazing, well at least I think so. So I'm gonna get with it now.
I, A Retrospect
Every cage in every day,
Must be brought down.
Every symptom of my regression,
Must be ripped out.
Every memory of inequality,
Must be overthrown.
Every moment I breath in
Must be pleasure, power, life without equal.
Must be brought down.
Every symptom of my regression,

Must be overthrown.
Every moment I breath in

Hungry Eyes
I was captured with a glance.
Entangled by your smiles.
You used me up and spit me out,
And it was okay for a while.
It's easy enough to fall.
It's hard to be kind.
You lie your way out of hours,
But always on my mind.
I'm on the wrong side of ignorance,
It doesn't pay to be blind.
You play the game so well,
A good person is hard to find.
I'm on the wrong side of hungry eyes.
I want what I can't need.
So I settle for you,
But you temper pain with ecstacy.
Hungry eyes again,
I see them, dream them...

Made to Make Bleed
I've been through it.
I'll be in it again.
The angel with the broken sins.
You take a cup of sugar.
Don't ask me for a spoon.
You want a little cutthroat,
Well I'll cut you!
Every time!
Anytime!
Always you recognize,
The angel in me,
Is the demon in you.
You look at me
Pass the knife.
Open the bleeding wound.
I'm easy to see
Easy to open in two.
But tonight I have the knife,
And I'll cut you.
The demon in me

Dressed in Skin
Dressed in skin to please the devil.
You hunt the world in painted revel.
Run the trusting to the ground.
I need you! I need you! As pain makes its sound.

Sensitivity
I know and yet I don't think I do.
The sensitivity
Leaving me absent and drowning
In you.
No, no tears shall I give
Just a feeling undone.
Just a split decision I am burdened to ache.
Such feelings I have
If must it would be,
But it is not.
So what the hell do I do?
When the L word is on my mind?
But what can you do
So away and sublime.
Sensitivity,
Is what I have.
It is what I am.
Wish that it were not.

Fulfilled
What can I say when you have what you need.
What can I say when you are happy.
I'm lonely.
Deprived.
Jealous.
Wanting.
Needing you.
But the closes thought is imprisoned
Because I know you are happy.
Fulfilled.
In all the ways you desire.
So I am jealous.
You ask to hear my mind.
I won't because it is pointless and you are content.
Pointless words.
When you have many to satisfy.
I am just one.
I am just the sensitive, depressive kind.
Why do you keep it up.
Every telling of your day is with others.
I am...

Words that End with Tion
Derivation.
Agitation.
Suffocation.
Procrastination.
Pertivation.
Then, maybe, hopefully salvation.

For heaven's sake!

I Smell Like Suicide
The door is shut.
Sprayed wet in the dark.
Someone's screaming.
Please make it stop,
Then
Silence.
Dripping hot, sticky wet.
Empty silence,
Inside and out of my head.
The sound of ripping
Then
Washed in pale light.
Sitting in a pool of hot, wet.
Like a crimson carpet on the ground.
Blood.
Screaming.
Bodies, silent and staring.
Everything before empty in my mind, painted with blood.
Sprayed wet in the dark.
Someone's screaming.
Please make it stop,
Then
Silence.
Dripping hot, sticky wet.
Empty silence,
Inside and out of my head.
The sound of ripping
Then
Washed in pale light.
Sitting in a pool of hot, wet.
Like a crimson carpet on the ground.
Blood.
Screaming.
Bodies, silent and staring.
Everything before empty in my mind, painted with blood.

Shadows in the Dark
Trailing in the alley,
I hope I didn't go too far.
Catching shadows in the dark.
I'm lost in silenced blindness,
For sight I'd wish a spark.
Instead I'm fearing shadows in the dark.
I hope I didn't go too far.
Catching shadows in the dark.
I'm lost in silenced blindness,
For sight I'd wish a spark.
Instead I'm fearing shadows in the dark.

Catch Her Eyes
Catch their eyes,
Catch the mind,
Catch them and then make them
Fall.
You can find a girl,
But only if you're beautiful.
You can make them smile,
But only if you lie.
Catch their attention,
Catch the interest,
Catch them and then make them
Fall.
You can find a girl,
But only if you're not their type.
You can make them smile,
But only as they watch you die.
Catch them money,
Catch the attention span,
Drop them and watch them
Fall.
I feel like I'm standing in the corner,
I'm...

Do I want too Much?
Do I want too much?
Is that the reason?
I often want friends
Who I can share everything with.
Friends,
Who I don't feel like a burden around.
Friends,
What are those?
I often want a girlfriend,
Who I can simply be with without fear.
Girlfriend,
What is that?
I must want too much.
I must be insane for trying.
I must be insane for the heartache, I give myself.
I must be crazy for being so hopeful.
