POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write mainly Emotionally Dark Poetry
Your Loving Monkey
I promise to mislead, deceive, and begial
You can continue to live your life in denial
Pretending everything's great
As your lies you spin and create
I'm the one that comforts you in the dead of night
Not your so called friends that are so up tight
I calm your nerves
I'm what you deserve
I chase the memories away
I make everything seem ok
But somedays I make them stay
I make everything in disarray
You know on those days you just need more of me
On your back I'll always be
With the darkness always closing in, always there...
You can continue to live your life in denial

I'm the one that comforts you in the dead of night
Not your so called friends that are so up tight
I calm your nerves
I'm what you deserve
I chase the memories away
I make everything seem ok
But somedays I make them stay
I make everything in disarray
You know on those days you just need more of me
On your back I'll always be
With the darkness always closing in, always there...

What Would Remain
Take away the pain
Take away the strain
Just what would remain
I am held together with the struggle
I am held together because of all I juggle
I am nothing but agony
I am nothing but depravity
I am nothing but blasphemy
Question's on my mind weigh
If you could take that away
Do it right here today
Would I cease to exist
Would I still be here in the midst
Would I be missed
For I am nothing but self loathing, agony, and pain
If it could magically be taken away, would anything remain
Take away the strain
Just what would remain
I am held together with the struggle
I am held together because of all I juggle
I am nothing but agony
I am nothing but depravity
I am nothing but blasphemy
Question's on my mind weigh
If you could take that away
Do it right here today
Would I cease to exist
Would I still be here in the midst
Would I be missed
For I am nothing but self loathing, agony, and pain
If it could magically be taken away, would anything remain

Heaven Bent
Remember even things heaven sent
Are a little bent

Bleeding Blackness on the Paper
I am the plague, a ghostly vapor
My soul bleeds blackness on the paper
If you're looking for a happy write
Don't read mine you won't get that sight
What you'll see is a glimpse of a spirit in total darkness
You'll learn just what the cost is
As a child thrown to the brink
And time and time again I sink
Like the platypus, I'm Gods little joke
Again and again I choke
On all the cruelty throughout the years thrown on me
No one hangs around to truly see
Beneath the scars I'm only human
Despite the blackness and confusion
My soul cries out...

You Bastard You
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... in your grave
No more children will you crave
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... shot in the head
For your sickness that you fed
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... and at Hell's gate
No more monsters can you create
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... you won't be missed
Maybe my nightmares won't exist
I'll be glad when you're dead
You...
You bastard you
When you're dead..... in your grave
No more children will you crave
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... shot in the head
For your sickness that you fed
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... and at Hell's gate
No more monsters can you create
I'll be glad when you're dead
You bastard you
When you're dead..... you won't be missed
Maybe my nightmares won't exist
I'll be glad when you're dead
You...

The Black Hearted Witch (Part 2)
After all the carnage I did imparte
The gypsies thought I had mastered the dark art
When I left that wretched gypsy caravan
Anyone that had wronged me, there blood spilled on the sand
With their tongues like parchment
They told darkened stories, and I was their target
And as I slowly roamed the land
To seek out about my mother first hand
The villagers seen my burnt skin
And knew I was the one the gypsies said carried great sin
Every human treated me badly, to scared to get close they threw their stones
So I sought out a place where no human...

The Black Hearted Witch (Part 1)
Born of cosmic dust and fire
The curse on her would never expire
She had been born out of rage and fear
Her mother taken at the point of a warrior's spear
Given to the gypsies to raise
It was the start of her dark days
Passed around from man to man
Each one imprinting their own brand
Making her feel less than
Her skin is burnt with all their marks
They scream out to the spirits dark
One kind gypsy branded one to let the bright rebound
So even in darkness, the light could be found
She had her mother's chants
She had her...
The curse on her would never expire
She had been born out of rage and fear
Her mother taken at the point of a warrior's spear
Given to the gypsies to raise
It was the start of her dark days
Passed around from man to man
Each one imprinting their own brand

Her skin is burnt with all their marks

One kind gypsy branded one to let the bright rebound

Singing With My Demons All Night Long
Have these feeling and their all wrong
No sleep again all night long
Don't mind the blood splattered on the walls
Or on the floor, from my hand where it falls
It's nothing really just the same old song
My demons just wanted me to sing along
No sleep again all night long
Don't mind the blood splattered on the walls
Or on the floor, from my hand where it falls
It's nothing really just the same old song
My demons just wanted me to sing along

Your Heart is Frozen Ground
I see your heart, it's frozen ground
This is where others turn around
I guess, I like the punishment
After all I'm more than bent
So I transversed your deep icy caverns
Searching for a piece of coal that still burns
I thought my wicked flame would transform your heart
Well that's what I thought, at the start
Only to find my love was blind
You my dear were so unkind
Make my heart spin, to watch it unwind
In my face, I refuse to see the signs
My once warm glowing heart of red
Was being starved, it was never feed
You grinned at me and said...

Eyes Cast Down
Her eye's cast down like a beaten pup
She didn't dare bother looking up
She watched the ground, her every step
The anguish over her face just crept
The wind from her lips swept
The agonizing moans as she wept
What woeful sounds of regret
Her closet is bulging where the skeletons are kept
She had years ago, locked it up tight
Really late in the black of night
For even she couldn't stand the sight
She had already paid the price
So she figured she had the right
With those skeletons she could no longer fight
So every day she can be...

Autumn's Last Walk
She takes a walk out among the trees
She's desperate to feel the cool breeze
The leaves make a sharp crunching as she walks on them
Even with the reds, oranges, and yellows, of her favorite time of year are not enough her thoughts are grim
The day on which her mother died is coming up soon
Another empty spot in her heart's room
She just had to die on Halloween day
Two things at once taken away
The woods she so enjoyed romping around in now she trudges through
The are tainted for she was raped and this is where he dragged her to
A cold drizzle...

I Knew a Guy
I knew a guy
He seems so very shy
It goes unspoken
His heart was broken
His spirit crushed
His thoughts were rushed
Remembering all she said
He put the gun to his head
To pull the trigger
Would make her the killer
Or so he thought
But with that shot
He couldn't see
It would set her free
But hit me
Now I will have to die
Just to say goodbye
He seems so very shy
It goes unspoken
His heart was broken
His spirit crushed
His thoughts were rushed
Remembering all she said
He put the gun to his head
To pull the trigger
Would make her the killer
Or so he thought
But with that shot
He couldn't see
It would set her free
But hit me
Now I will have to die
Just to say goodbye
