POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
It Was Only An Eye Exam
I know what happened that day
I remember the events so clearly
Twenty three year old memories do not decay
When they scar you so severely
I went in for a routine eye exam
The optometrist seemed like a nice old man
But sacrificially I was his lamb
As he unleashed his master plan
First he used the ophthalmoscope
2 look deeply in my eyes
But what happened next I have to cope
For the remainder of my life
He then removed the equipment
And approached as close as he could get
Determined by his professional...

Deepest Cuts
Abrasions..small flesh tear
Lacerations..some blood will be exposed
Punctures..enough blood to cause a scare
Avulsions..maybe some body parts disposed
Lies..small factors creating distrust
Secrets..hiding the guilt inside
Dishonesty..on the verge of full on lust
Betrayal..life altering heart and soul have died
Lacerations..some blood will be exposed
Punctures..enough blood to cause a scare
Avulsions..maybe some body parts disposed
Lies..small factors creating distrust
Secrets..hiding the guilt inside
Dishonesty..on the verge of full on lust
Betrayal..life altering heart and soul have died

Let me examine your mind
And dig deep down to see
What you are hoping to find
Answers causing your misery
I probe a few questions
And let you do the talking
Then offer a few suggestions
To soothe your inner fears stalking
What keeps you awake at night
Maybe something from your childhood
What else could be causing your plight
The mental abuse you feel isn't good
I make you think and reflect
Of a memory from your past
Or a thought you left neglected
Leaving you speechless and aghast
I won't give you...

BLACK FANGS (translated for an easier horizontal read)
Bloodthirsty barren broken bats brutally believe
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed

Full Moon Lunacy
This full moon lunacy of light
Has such a psychological affect
Keeping me awake at night
Preventing the dreams I neglect
Thinking thoughts while in my room
I can't close my eyes or sleep
Should I stay inside my tomb
For tomorrow the crazies will creep
Their bipolar disorder unleashed
Will cause them all to be incensed
The hoard of zombies released
Walking around the streets unfenced
Bad attitudes and short tempers
Provoking dangerous bizarre behavior
For reasons they can't remember
With wolves looking for blood flavor...

Reverse Russian Roulette
Finally playing a real game with myself
Load the revolver
Five chambers loaded
One left blank
I spin the cylinder
Point to my temple
Sweat rolling down my brows
My heart racing
The muscles in my fingers contract
Click
The odds with me
Symbolic of life but yet I never win
I spin again
I place the gun in my mouth this time
Feeling less nervous
And more confident
Again I squeeze the trigger
Click
The sound of the empty chamber
Reverberates throughout my head
Echoing the emptiness I feel ...

Revelations
Time has ended it stood still
Buried under volcanic eruptions
Rain and thunderous wind chill
Motionless plagues and destruction
Sick death is forever unleashed
Will you wear the evil mark
Vicious lies the three headed beast
And demons assist the dark
Blood is spilled the ground covered
Bodies burned into the night
Laughter echoed this life discovered
Cry the whispers of my fright
Tears stream down my muddied face
The angel of fear screams out
Disillusioned still and out of place
The end has come no doubt...

Afterdeath
And so faded play my misty eyes
Echoes shaded haunt and terrorize
Speeding faster voyaged my mind
Laughing at laughter can I find
Answers racing sound so blurred
Thoughts rushed and voices slurred
Distant lost but am I here
Withered frost my death is near
Danced with ghosts on my grave
Tranced to dust I will enslave
Ruling master and cruel fate
Growing faster my love of hate
Pleasured all this anger spread
Treasured my wish to be dead
Truth is I have lied
Death was near my suicide
Loving misery what a pain ...

25 Years
25 years of pleasure
25 years of pain
25 years of your crazy
25 years of my insane
We have traveled this road together
Hand in hand side by side
But I would do it with no other
My love for you is undenied
I've taken you for granted
At times I haven't been nice
But let me be candid
You're an amazing wife
Your smile and your laughter
It warms me everyday
For eternity and after
I'll be with you always
Three twelve ninety nine
Etched forever in my life
You are my...

Descend
And i am satans slave
Dancing on my grave
Playing with my innocence
Suffering from my dissonance
We subject our souls to the night
Losing victory within this fight
As we bleed from within
Forgive this unforgivable sin
Losing faith I learn to master
Slowly as my heart beats faster
And time and drugs we consume
Poisoned mind prophecies of doom
Laughing while I'm bleeding out
Silent screams I try to shout
Echoes in the wind we're battling
The serpent and its constant rattling
The acidic rain floods my mind ...
Dancing on my grave

And time and drugs we consume

Laughing while I'm bleeding out

Staged Deaths
Two friends once destined
Knowing their destiny
Searching for rest to end
Misery, enter tranquility
Anger raged in their worlds
And hatred was spread
Bloody silence left unheard
With thoughts by each of being dead
Timing matters, it's all a game
Waiting for seconds to pass
Tempted to end guilt and shame
The time is not here at last
Meeting new "friends" as strangers
To wreck more lives and feelings
Even innocence endangers
Your false...
