POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Rickety Bridge
And the heavens parted
As lightning laid down a victim
What a way to finish the year
At the precipice of a new beginning
Confused by the rivers flow
To cross you need a bridge
Or find an alternative way
But there is no time
That leaves only one decision
Cross the bridge
But watch out
Beware of the rickety bridge
It is full of cracks and traps and tricky steps
It is an outdated forum
That passes us through time
It appears to go both ways
But like time there is no going back
There is no rewrite
So cross...

Chaos And Confusion
Confusion is of the essence
What is life without chaos
What would happen if we knew
What would happen if we were sure
What would happen?
Would the absolute and total order
Cause confusion and chaos once again
Would we be so sure
That we would once again be confused
Or are we already?
Are we already in such an orderly
And precise manner
That we are confused
What is life without chaos
What would happen if we knew
What would happen if we were sure
What would happen?
Would the absolute and total order
Cause confusion and chaos once again
Would we be so sure
That we would once again be confused
Or are we already?
Are we already in such an orderly
And precise manner
That we are confused

Prince Charming
Sinderella staggered home after her assault
She was blamed and told its all her fault
When she told her sisters they seemed amused
They told her back to chores which she refused
She instead showered to wash the blood away
Then called the man she met earlier that day
Her prince charming seemed quite maddened
Hearing sobbing tears explaining what happened
"They dragged me to the back of the alley
They bruised my body and beat me badly
The three cops my body they raped
They spread my legs and punched my face ...

The Butchers Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Nobody was breathing, not even a spouse
The limbs were all hung by the chimney with care
A sign that the butcher was already there
The children all murdered were dead in their beds
With knives and cleavers stuck in their foreheads
The grandparents laid down
For a long winters nap
Just more holiday victims
Of the butchers death trap
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
Neighbors arrived, on the snow blood splattered
Away from the window he flew with a...

Demons Desire
A thirst for blind obedience
Acting in a way that's devious
Demons don't need your soul
They need an army of allegiance
Spreading their lies and their hate
Promising a future of false fate
Whispering evil thoughts in your ear
While your values they desecrate
Its this loyalty that demons desire
Helping you set the world on fire
They feed on greed from your sins
As they quickly grow their empire
In their quest to rule all the land
It doesn't matter if you understand
They steal hope and all your...

Dancing In Your Graveyard............. (Choose Your Own Adventure)
#1
Stranded in a remote countryside
In the distance you see a village
Seeking any help they can provide
You walk the extra mileage
Empty streets echoed terrified screams
As you knock on a door unanswered
The storm raining nightmaric dreams
Calmness and uneasiness now transferred
(Attempt to go inside ---> #2
follow the voices down the street ---> #3)
#2
You slowly push open the squeaking door
And see an empty cobwebbed abyss
As you walk upon the creaking floor ...

Hypnotic Sessions
Session 1
I need help with my affliction
I've heard this is the way to go
Persuade and deter my addictions
Subconsciously when I don't know
I watch the swaying time piece
And slowly countdown from 10
Anxiety in my mind decreases
As I awake a new man again
Session 2
I scheduled another session
Since I overcame what I've endured
Guilt about my next confession
Sexual activities unexplored
"Your eyelids are getting heavy"
Suggestive and quite hypnotic
I'm a beast in bed already
Now...

The Sunset
As the sun begins it's gentle descent
Hues painting skies with golden ascent
A masterpiece unfolds with every ray
Whispering dreams at the close of day
Marigold and amber kiss the twilight air
A symphony of colors beyond compare
Each stroke a promise of hope and light
Guiding souls through the coming night
Embrace the awe of the setting sun
For within its glow the day has won
Tomorrow holds a new dawns grace
But in this moment a relaxing place

Reversal
I've written thousands of words
And created stories and worlds
From the depths of my imagination
And psychological persuasion
I've opened up and I've shared
Dangerous limitations I've dared
Deep thoughts have flowed from my pen
But that's where the nightmares begin
Shrouded in an eerie mystique
Something strange and quite unique
Imagination written has transformed
Madness created and chaos stormed
For the words with which my ink wrote
Distressed illusions while reality remote

Abstract
Abstraction,
Because chaos decimated every fantasy
Ghosts haunting insanity
Juxtaposition,
Kalopsia legendary memories
Naivety of penitentiaries
Questioning realities stability
Tortured ultimately
Vibrant wisdom xerographed
Yeasty zeroed

Three Little Pigs
Three little Pigs, the law of the night
Witnessed Sinderella near the street light
Talking with the guy she had just met
When they approached she became upset
Trading numbers so they could meet again
Then gave a quick kiss to her new friend
She asked the man if he could leave
Then begged for the officers reprieve
The three little pigs, her sisters friends
When asked for leniency they said depends
The took her cash, all she had made
Then did something more just to degrade
Poor Sinderella, dragged into an alley
