POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write mainly Emotionally Dark Poetry
May Never be an Answer
Ties that bind
They do unwind
And there may never be an answer
It eats at us like cancer
It rots the brain
That inturn fills it up with pain
It hollows the heart
Because that's where it starts
It defens us to the truth
They did it to us in our youth
It's all been swept away Into the great abyss
And now it just grows on us like a cyst
Untill we're released
No relief

One day while searching the web
The little devil on my shoulder said
Why don't we watch porn instead
The little Angel was missing that day
So what was I to say
But okay
As I sat there in the computer screen glow
I clicked some links but they were slow
I clicked and clicked, but it just wouldn't go
It had froze
Figures that's how my life flows
But then they all at one time started to roll
All I had wanted to do was watch a show
With some ho's and men with part that grow
But I had...

Humpty
My name is Humpty
Everyone just dumpes on me
I know a secret most won't tell
I was cracked before I fell

Monsters, Two for you, Three for Me
There are monsters all around my dear
Let me make myself perfectly clear
They live on the land, they live on the sea
There's two for you, three for me
There's no escape, no place to hide
It's a slippery slope, you can feel the slide
If your not careful they'll get inside
That's when you'll wish you would of died

Emotional Vampire (Frontwards Backwards Poem)
She's an emotional vampire
She'll suck out what she desires
She preys on the lonely
Making them think they are her one and only
She lives off their emotion
Love or hate, just as long as it's commotion
She thrives on the drama
Leaving behind only trauma
She'll take you down slow
You won't even know
Till she releases her hold
Leaving behind only holes
Where she's sucked out your soul
She's an emotional vampire
She'll burn you like Hell's fire
She's quite the enchanter
Her whole life is a banter ...
She'll suck out what she desires
She preys on the lonely
Making them think they are her one and only
She lives off their emotion
Love or hate, just as long as it's commotion
She thrives on the drama
Leaving behind only trauma
She'll take you down slow
You won't even know
Till she releases her hold
Leaving behind only holes
Where she's sucked out your soul
She's an emotional vampire
She'll burn you like Hell's fire
She's quite the enchanter
Her whole life is a banter ...

Darkest Hour
The sun was shining very bright
In my very darkest night
The stars' they misaligned
The moon I simply couldn't find
Left frozen on that August day
A blizzard of emotions in the way
Amongst the pain and agony
I found myself on bended knee
No longer able to stand
Buried in your life's sand
So now on my belly I'll crawl
Banging my head against the wall
Knowing I'll never see the light
This situation I can not fight
For you see our darkest hour
That leaves us all to cower
Rarely ever comes at...

About to Snap
Waves of sadness keep roll over me
Unshed tears stings my eyes, can't see
Life is looking so grim
It has me standing on the rim
One foot balancing on the razors edge
Other foot over the ledge
Looking down into the silent abyss
Falling forward, leavening behind all of this
That is my sweet hidden dream
Some of you will know what I mean
I'm tired of the waging war, the constant battle
Being herded along like cattle
One catastrophe on top of another
Until they pile up and smother
I can no longer breathe ...

A Bullet Baptismal
Go on do your worse
I'm all ready about to burst
Take your knife, make the stab
I won't mind laying on that slab
You'll give me rest, you'll give me peace
To lay among the loved deceased
I'm not afraid to die
For my soul to ride the sky
I am afraid to face another day
To face the anguish that will play
In my heart, in my mind
Compared to this, death seems kind
So raise your gun, aim right between the eyes
Let that hollow point baptize

Smoldering Dreams
Standing here with the world upon my shoulders
As I watch my dreams ignite and smolder
The greenest storm clouds are encroaching
The city's on fire, on the horizon I can see it smoking
All I can see is flames, around me the fire's rage
I'm shackled in chains, locked in a cage
By the rancid smell, I'd say my soul has rotten
For I'm all alone, I've been forgotten
The fire rages on
Slowly consuming all my dreams until they're gone
With the weight of the world making me sink
I'm afraid I'm already over the brink

The Coffin
In the coffin bare
You will find it there
If you want to know
All the secrets it will hold
All the sorrow and the strife
Will all end in the passing of life
Take a look at the empty shell
It's been released from it's cell

Turned to Sandstone
All alone
The seed was sewn
The weed has grown
Close to the bone
I've been dethroned
Turned to sandstone
Watch me crumble
Everything I bumble
So very humble
Everything I fumble
I just mumble
My thoughts are jumbled
My mind is cracked
There's no coming back
I'm afraid I slacked
So much I lack
A joker not a jack
A punch in the back
No wings, can't fly
Only look at the sky
Soulless eyes
Slowly dies
No tears to cry
Into the pan to fry

Living Corpse
My living corpse walked on
Walking in the perpetual dawn
Of all the things that have gone wrong
This is the wish that I will sound
I hope my body's never found
I'll just melt back into the ground
