POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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 chill 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...

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...

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...

The Legend Of Shadow Walker (part 4/4)
Siler Bald North Carolina:
Ashes and bones found in a campfire
A missing couple almost retired
Smell of burnt flesh fills the smokey air
No clues yet found detectives unaware
Lake Jocassee South Carolina:
Bodies drowned in a mountainous lake
It was no accident, it was no mistake
No remnants found of these bodies dead
Just eight floating decapitated heads
Blood Mountain...

The Struggle Within
Staring at the reflective mirror
My life is at an impasse
Decisions have never been clearer
My fists pounding on the glass
In pieces the mirror shatters
Broken like my thoughts unknown
Wondering if anything matters
Traveling in this world alone
Life is no longer worth living
I'm tired of the constant pain
My sins can never be forgiven
Lifes vicious cycle is insane
Contemplating the unimaginable
I grab a broken glass shard

My sins can never be forgiven
Lifes vicious cycle is insane
Contemplating the unimaginable

Blood Trail
Training my obsession
Creating my mind
My addictive profession
Is not what you'd find
Determined mentality fills
My taste so pure
As this sickness kills
There is no cure
Trying to figure life out
Clues I've reasoned
I know without a doubt
Inner dimensions seasoned
Bodies twisted and distorted
Appear the way only I see
Thoughts twisted and contorted
Blurred visions of my reality
Watch my mystery unfold
This mystery from within
Voices have been told ...

Keep drinking more shots
Ready to go to your house
Another mistake made
