POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Anastasia and Drizella
In the dim lit corners of their grand estate
Sinderellas stepsisters reveled in hate
Anastasia and Drizella with hearts so cold
Their cruelty a story dark and bold
Locked in an attic her spirit confined
Whispers of the wind her only kind
Each night they stripped her of her pride
In shadows her tears she couldn't hide
Scrubbing floors til her hands were raw
Their laughter echoed from down the hall
Within her heart a fire burned bright
Planning her escape into the night
Escape from her evil step sisters
This hope in life her only...

The Hand
I remember my 1st day of school
I was so nervous
She sat next to me
And started talking
Her voice soothed me
And made me feel comfortable
Then we had recess
And I got hurt
She reached out to help me up
That was the 1st time
She held my hand
And at that moment
I knew everything was going to be ok
We got a little older
And grew closer and closer
We went everywhere together
And shared every experience
Everywhere we went she held my hand
Her comfort reassured me constantly
That...

Pound Of Flesh
Off to a tropical paradise
For a long overdue vacation
When a malfunctioning device
Affected the planes aviation
The pilot losing all control
The plane started going down
Passengers searching for their soul
Exploding fire, burning the ground
The only survivors of the flight
A young mother and her teenage son
Rummaging wreckage, the midst of night
Their tribulations have just begun
Sorting through the cargos ash
Anything for their survival
Only a...

A Message To My Fans
To all my fans
And my haters
Do not be alarmed
If you do not see my writings anymore
I will be going to a nicer place
A more peaceful paradise
A place where I will no longer need to write
To express my emotions
My feelings
I'm following my dreams
And leaving here
Heading to a world
Where the melancholy disappears
And is replaced with an orchestra
Of nature singing harmoniously
A lullaby to help me find peace
And sleep with no stress
And no concerns
Thank you for your support
Thank you for...
And my haters
Do not be alarmed

Valley Of Broken Dreams
In the shadow of mountains high
Lies a place where my dreams die
A barren land where hopes unravel
This journey I take, a mournful travel
Ambitions fade, now whispers in the wind
Visions once bright, have come to an end
Footsteps stumble on paths once clear
This valley of death I'm wandering near
Promises made I never kept
Tears of regret I silently wept
A tapestry of lost aspirations
Leveled by my lifes limitations
In the grasp of...

Last Writes
Last writes etched in shadows deep
Whispers the past, a secret to keep
Ink of sorrow on parchment of night
A tale of despair hidden from sight
In a room where dreams once flourished
A writers soul now deeply nourished
By darkness that consumed his mind
His written words all that's left behind
His last writes, a final plan for peace
In the quiet his struggles cease
A pen laid down, a life untold
The cold embrace of winters hold
Beneath the stars a story fades
In shadows cast the past persuedes ...

Trail Journals (Part 1/4)
Mount Katahdin Maine:
"Look for me in places remote
In shadows hidden I am a ghost
Chaos and doom follow where I walk
Sixty six victims I'll hunt and stalk"
Mahoosuc Notch Maine:
Two bodies under boulders found
A pool of blood they quickly drowned
Multiple hits to the back and head
These victims found lifelessly dead
Rattled River Shelter New Hampshire:
Five hikers starting their strenuous hike
Unfortunate fortune soon did strike
Painfully they were all castrated ...

Appalachian Trail (Part 2/4)
Lions Head Connecticut:
The forest around calm and serene
Except for this horrific crime scene
Nine people killed, bodies rearranged
Hands for feet and heads were changed
Lemon Squeezer New York:
Compressed bodies fill the lemon squeezer
Mid January temps this deep freezer
Six bodies here now frozen in time
Winters scorn haunts this hideous crime
Worthington State Forest New Jersey:
Five more bodies now incomplete
Chopped up and fed as bear meat
The local bears in a state of...

Time
Time is endless
The ticking sound is so faint
I can barely hear it
I'm young and naive
Surrounded by family and friends
I'm having fun
And enjoying life
Taking for granted the little things
Actually everything
Time passes by so slowly
Time is still in the distance
But I'm distracted
I'm married with my own family now
Working hard to provide
Enjoying the finer things in life
Fun activities and vacations
Even though time is moving faster
The ticking...

Self Absorbed
I wasn't paying attention
I didn't hear what you said
It wasn't my intention
I was self absorbed instead
Myself was my only concern
I didn't hear your crying
Your emotions I could not discern
Seeking help you were trying
You needed an ear to listen
You needed a shoulder to lean on
I could have helped your condition
But I left you alone and forgone
Now no longer can we share
Future memories created together
Your suicide is impossible to bear
You were like my lifelong brother
Unimaginable guilt...

Shadow Walker (Part 3/4)
Weverton Cliffs Maryland:
Located closely near the Potomac river
Nightmares making you shake and quiver
A family of five at the campground
Chopped up limbs thrown all around
Cranberry Wilderness West Virginia:
No remorse or tears left to feel
What happened here seemed unreal
Two female hikers pretty and young
Stripped, raped and killed by someone
Grayson Highlands Virginia:
Vultures circling and ready to feast
Decomposing victims from this...

Whispering Winds
Whispering winds in the cool air
Sharing secrets they wouldn't dare
Restless in the storm that brews
Mysteries hiding the truth we knew
Whispering winds remaining tranquil
Suffocating life as they strangle
Secrets trying to be hidden within
Gossip spreading the neighbors sin
Rumors shared are exaggerated
The angered truth left agitated
Secrets creating quite a mess
Relationships shattered in distress
The truth lives in whispering winds
Pain and heartache...
