POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I mainly draw, but there are things and feelings that just can't be captured visually, and that's why I started writing... Mostly I try to explore the landscape of my mind, the subtleties of my emotions, and how I look at things.

Upside-down Tornado
Wearing the ice thin
And my eyes low
It's not rage
It's not rage
If I don't say it.
I can't help knowing
That I can't help growing
Into what people see fit.
I woke up all broken up tonight
With an upside-down tornado
Tight on my steps, always in sight,
Trying to play friend or foe.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you take away my plight.
The train was slowed by the mist
Of blood you left behind
Now I'll be late
Now I'll be late
People do...
And my eyes low
It's not rage
It's not rage
If I don't say it.
I can't help knowing
That I can't help growing
Into what people see fit.
I woke up all broken up tonight
With an upside-down tornado
Tight on my steps, always in sight,
Trying to play friend or foe.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you take away my plight.
The train was slowed by the mist
Of blood you left behind
Now I'll be late
Now I'll be late

Devil's son
The world is loud, unthinkable,
Tall flowers climb on every wall
The concrete's breached
Where I beseech
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
What I last heard was your silence
And in this void, it grew immense
Misconceptions
And seduction
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
I only wish to be freed or caged,
Had it been your love, I would have been saved
Golden flower
Should I surrender
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
Had it been your love
I spend...
Tall flowers climb on every wall
The concrete's breached
Where I beseech
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
What I last heard was your silence
And in this void, it grew immense
Misconceptions
And seduction
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
I only wish to be freed or caged,
Had it been your love, I would have been saved
Golden flower
Should I surrender
I spend nights alone
With Devil's son.
Had it been your love

Amazing Vice
Amazing Vice ! Such creepy sounds
That cursed a wretch like you.
I once was lost, and am still lost,
Made blind, my eyes burned out.
'Twas Vice that taught my heart the fear
And Vice my fear instilled.
How hideous did that Vice appear
The hour I was first tortured.
To many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come ;
'Tis Vice that brought me harm thus far
And Vice will ruin my home.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Blinding, scorching as Inferno
We've no less days to screech Hell's praise
Than when we...
That cursed a wretch like you.
I once was lost, and am still lost,
Made blind, my eyes burned out.
'Twas Vice that taught my heart the fear
And Vice my fear instilled.
How hideous did that Vice appear
The hour I was first tortured.
To many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come ;
'Tis Vice that brought me harm thus far
And Vice will ruin my home.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Blinding, scorching as Inferno
We've no less days to screech Hell's praise

Silence
In days, so much begins,
And nothing ever ends,
There's a silence upon us all
There's a silence that breaks us all
There's a silence to cry
There's a silence for love
A bubble lit by far or close
What we open, and what we close
Words be spoken, Silence inside
There's a silence that kills
Look to the back of your eyes
Tell me the cliffs and the tides
In centuries, so many battles won
Understood, and forgotten,
There's a silence upon us all
One silence that changes into walls
And nothing ever ends,
There's a silence upon us all
There's a silence that breaks us all
There's a silence to cry
There's a silence for love
A bubble lit by far or close
What we open, and what we close
Words be spoken, Silence inside
There's a silence that kills
Look to the back of your eyes
Tell me the cliffs and the tides
In centuries, so many battles won
Understood, and forgotten,
There's a silence upon us all
One silence that changes into walls

What's the game ?
What's the game,
What's the game,
What's the game,
What's the game we play ?
Tell me when
Tell me when
Tell me when it's my turn to play ?
I don't know your rules, man,
I don't know your rules
Tell me and I'll win
Time and time again,
Just tell me the game
Else I can only pretend...
Show me how
Show me how
Show me how
Show me how to attract the stares !
Social grace,
Social grace,
Social grace falling down the stairs !
There's a way to please
And...
What's the game,

What's the game we play ?
Tell me when
Tell me when
Tell me when it's my turn to play ?

Please me please
Will you please
Hold me ?
My body's yours
To play with
Will you tease
And caress me ?
Or haven't you snoozed
Enough already ?
Please me please, I'll be happy to give you my all
Give you my trust and body as a whole,
And live at last by your shackles.
Will I please you
If you ask me ?
Shall I indulge you
Where would that get me ?
But I'd certainly do
And happily
Just like I always
Whore myself out for free.
Please me please, I'll be happy to give you my all
Give you my trust...
Hold me ?
My body's yours
To play with
Will you tease
And caress me ?
Or haven't you snoozed
Enough already ?
Please me please, I'll be happy to give you my all
Give you my trust and body as a whole,
And live at last by your shackles.
Will I please you
If you ask me ?
Shall I indulge you
Where would that get me ?
But I'd certainly do
And happily
Just like I always
Whore myself out for free.
Please me please, I'll be happy to give you my all
Give you my trust...

Night Noise
I wanted to ride the Ferris wheel
They didn't let me
Because of some things I've said
That they found nasty
I told them all my friends laughed
Boy, was my head noisy
So I went and burnt a few things
But you see
I've been badly misinterpreted
It wasn't compulsory
I tried to number the nights
I tried to number the days
That I recall were like sunlight
When it rained and my gaze strayed...
So what, I'm not what you're comfortable with
Not my responsibility
If I get high on emotions
And things you...
They didn't let me
Because of some things I've said
That they found nasty
I told them all my friends laughed
Boy, was my head noisy
So I went and burnt a few things
But you see
I've been badly misinterpreted
It wasn't compulsory
I tried to number the nights
I tried to number the days
That I recall were like sunlight
When it rained and my gaze strayed...
So what, I'm not what you're comfortable with

the Countess
In the Castle she counts her stones
All the shining gold and silver ;
Jewels like no one's ever known
All hers to admire !
But never glad, never content,
She searched with all her heart's intent
North, West and East of Aklandia
The ever brightest gemstone
That any mind could fathom
To adorn her best tiara...
Oh dear Countess
You wish to possess
What's as cold as your heart !
From top of your tower
What you so desire
Could tear it all
Could tear it all apart !

Wind Field
Lost
In a wind field...
Heavy skies
It's raining painkillers
You make noise like trails of fire
Grass would cry
Burnt but bold
Death smokes in your hand
Have no pride, raise your head :
It's all mechanical.
Round and round
They'll go down in history
And not us
Stop all sound
If we're lucky
Their silence will crush us.
A white forest
Of trees you can't comprehend
You broke in an outerland
Where heavy goes highest
We gave in
To more purple skies than we had...
In a wind field...
Heavy skies
It's raining painkillers
You make noise like trails of fire
Grass would cry
Burnt but bold
Death smokes in your hand
Have no pride, raise your head :
It's all mechanical.
Round and round
They'll go down in history
And not us
Stop all sound
If we're lucky
Their silence will crush us.
A white forest
Of trees you can't comprehend
You broke in an outerland
Where heavy goes highest
We gave in
To more purple skies than we had...

Sloth's gravity
I get up
Sit by my window
To watch water fall,
Watch the rain fall...
Countless days will pass
Where I'll be sleeping
Maybe I'll shot a glance
Behind by the time it's snowing
I'll watch things fall
Since I'm too lazy
To get them up
If the world crumbles
Will I stand
On top of the hole ?
Flowers fall
Like glories
The leaves, spirits
And the air get sucked in...
Freedom lies
Where you can't see it
Freedom lies
So you won't like it...
The paper...
Sit by my window
To watch water fall,
Watch the rain fall...
Countless days will pass
Where I'll be sleeping
Maybe I'll shot a glance
Behind by the time it's snowing
I'll watch things fall
Since I'm too lazy
To get them up
If the world crumbles
Will I stand
On top of the hole ?
Flowers fall
Like glories
The leaves, spirits
And the air get sucked in...
Freedom lies
Where you can't see it
Freedom lies
So you won't like it...
The paper...

Broken Feet
It's been a long day
A week from morning
A flash from beating
Our minds and our wrists down
It's been a long day
Eyes closed, you'll be next to me
Eyes closed, pull my weight free
And a kiss could make me drown
After all this time, you leave me crying on my bed
If you have no word, and no kiss for goodnight
I'm just a broken-footed bride,
A broken-footed bride.
It's been a long day
Being and not being me
In a world of fantasy
Under your own self hidden
Such, such a long...
A week from morning
A flash from beating
Our minds and our wrists down
It's been a long day
Eyes closed, you'll be next to me
Eyes closed, pull my weight free
And a kiss could make me drown

If you have no word, and no kiss for goodnight

A broken-footed bride.

Forgotten
Hello, my unknowing love,
Can you hear the turing gears
Far above ?
In the depths from which it comes
You won't be forgotten !
Hello, my unseeing dear,
Though we both weren't due why did you
Leave me here ?
From the depths of another's home
To make you haunt me again
Hells and skies I've roamed
You won't be forgiven !
Hello, my salty drop of pain,
You should grieve, for you lost all I give
I'm not to blame !
To the depths I will now return.
And you may never follow me
I wish I wished to kill you !
Can you hear the turing gears
Far above ?
In the depths from which it comes
You won't be forgotten !
Hello, my unseeing dear,
Though we both weren't due why did you
Leave me here ?
From the depths of another's home
To make you haunt me again
Hells and skies I've roamed
You won't be forgiven !
Hello, my salty drop of pain,
You should grieve, for you lost all I give
I'm not to blame !
To the depths I will now return.
And you may never follow me
I wish I wished to kill you !
