POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Autumn is forever
All is decaying,
but ever so slowly.
Nothing is rotten
but never is it fresh.
Summer has been,
winter never comes,
and autumn is forever.
but ever so slowly.
Nothing is rotten
but never is it fresh.
Summer has been,
winter never comes,
and autumn is forever.

Cactus land
Got this secret I must not tell:
I've been to a place called Hell
In that pit, the bottomless deep,
there's nothing to find or to keep.
We search in darkness as the blind,
hoping for something real to find
Embraced by an endless sleep,
we pray that hell us not shall keep.
But we do dream, we dream in hell.
Illusions as real as magic spells
Shapes and forms made of sand
Nothing else in the cactus land.
I've been to a place called Hell

we pray that hell us not shall keep.
But we do dream, we dream in hell.
Illusions as real as magic spells
Shapes and forms made of sand
Nothing else in the cactus land.

I'm not myself
I'm not myself.
I am someone else.
I talk to me, I converse,
but my thoughts shatter.
They disperse.
In the mirror I do someone see,
but that person just isn't me.
I see this man with coal black eyes
And always he tells me all these lies
But I have to believe in lies that are true.
There's just nothing else that I can do
I am someone else.

I am Pan
I have every deviation know to man.
That's because I'm everyone...
I am Pan.
Odd, sick and twisted am I.
I've done it all and can never die.
Yes, I may look like just anyone
But really...I am the Horned one.
Desires fill me without end,
strong enough to reality bend.
So you think you know me?
No, you don't... You cannot see
the lustful Devil inside of me.

Leave
I don't have to stay here I can leave
Set my sails for any place my mind can conceive
Why should I stay when I can go even though I know
It probably never will be so, I got this urge to fly
And I know it ain't worth much but at least I tried
When reach that other shore, return I shall nevermore
Set my sails for any place my mind can conceive
Why should I stay when I can go even though I know
It probably never will be so, I got this urge to fly
And I know it ain't worth much but at least I tried
When reach that other shore, return I shall nevermore

Beautiful world
The world is such a beautiful place
Mountains, seas, lakes and trees
It's like home to the human race
Days and nights, star-filled skies
The world is wonderful, beautiful
There's no better place than this
Animals of different species all
over the earth, do as they please
They are happy, content and God
watches over them. Nothing bad
can happen here. Not in this place
that to us is so precious and dear.

Lilith full of grace
Lost all alone she is,
she who once was a queen.
Lost in dark realms she is,
never again to be seen.
But see her you do,
in your darkest dreams.
In dim worlds of illusions
where nothing is as it seems.
She takes whatever she needs,
and make men emit their seed.
And she makes them bleed...
She takes children away and
kills them in her dark place.
She is the mother of night,
Lilith full of grace
she who once was a queen.
Lost in dark realms she is,
never again to be seen.
But see her you do,
in your darkest dreams.
In dim worlds of illusions
where nothing is as it seems.
She takes whatever she needs,
and make men emit their seed.
And she makes them bleed...
She takes children away and
kills them in her dark place.
She is the mother of night,
Lilith full of grace

I resist
My life is slow but I need speed
As I write these words, I bleed
Gotta hang on, gotta stay but
one day winds will blow me away
This world is dark and getting darker
by the hour. Some people hide,
they cower. Afraid of those who
are in power. I'm not like that,
I resist, I refuse and it don't
matter to me if I lose.
At least I did what I could
to remain where I am, in this
motherfucking neighborhood.

Rain
Sadness rips through your heart.
It didn't it end, why did you start?
Crying tears of reddest blood,
pouring out like a crimson flood.
But then the tears go away and
your face cracks a smile again.
The blood is washed away when
your body is cleansed by the rain
It didn't it end, why did you start?
Crying tears of reddest blood,
pouring out like a crimson flood.
But then the tears go away and
your face cracks a smile again.

Free
I'm covered in blood,
red and bright.
In crimson drenched,
is the darkness of night.
The blood is all over me,
and the blood is yours
To finally be free,
I killed without remorse
red and bright.
In crimson drenched,
is the darkness of night.
The blood is all over me,
and the blood is yours
To finally be free,

Invisible friend
I had a twin that couldn't be seen.
Maybe he wasn't real and
has never even been?
But perhaps he hasn't left me...
Sometimes I sense that he is near,
and his distant laughter I can hear.
Occasionally glimpses of him I see,
or is the visage in the mirror only me?
Perhaps he just couldn't stay?
As I grew older he had to go away.
I shouldn't be sorry and will not grieve
for this did he me promise:
"I will never leave."

The city of endless night
Death did come for you one day
He had promised to take you away
You took his hand in yours, followed him
as you descended, the lights grew dim
You heard Death's call, to him did you hark!
And now he takes you away into the dark
But then you see it, the faintest light
It is the place you shall forever be:
The city of endless night
He had promised to take you away
You took his hand in yours, followed him
as you descended, the lights grew dim
You heard Death's call, to him did you hark!
And now he takes you away into the dark
But then you see it, the faintest light
It is the place you shall forever be:
The city of endless night
