Poet Introduction
I started writing poetry when I was 14, a way to express all of my feelings when I had no one else to talk to

Our hearts Pump for Them
The stars
Way beyond you or I
So far above
Filling the sky
Held close
Our loved ones
So dear to us
Taken one day
Only because
Tears will stream
And tears we cry
For those we've lost
For those who die
We hold them now
So close to our souls
Our hearts pump for them
Even with the holes
Way beyond you or I
So far above
Filling the sky
Held close
Our loved ones
So dear to us
Taken one day
Only because
Tears will stream
And tears we cry
For those we've lost
For those who die
We hold them now
So close to our souls
Our hearts pump for them
Even with the holes

Through the Looking Glass.... You'll Find Me
At opposite ends
Hides me and the looking glass
Seeming to smile
But that smile is fading fast
Jolly
Hip hip hurray
That's how I used to feel at the start
Of the day
Now I feel disdained
Like a favorite shirt
Thats now stained
Through the looking glass
Lurks a foul beast
One you cared for in the least
Through the looking glass
You'll find
A man who likes hide and seek
But has lost his mind
Through the looking glass
You will see
A figment of your imagination
The beast
Who is me
Hides me and the looking glass
Seeming to smile
But that smile is fading fast
Jolly
Hip hip hurray
That's how I used to feel at the start
Of the day
Now I feel disdained
Like a favorite shirt
Thats now stained
Through the looking glass
Lurks a foul beast
One you cared for in the least
Through the looking glass
You'll find
A man who likes hide and seek
But has lost his mind
Through the looking glass
You will see
A figment of your imagination
The beast
Who is me

A Wasteland in Me
I should of been more careful
In how I chose my words
I should have seen the signs
All the metaphoric dead birds
I lost out on a future
Now I'm stuck in the past
The fallout from your explosion
Will forever last
I cant sleep anymore
and when I do
All my dreams bring tears to my eyes
They're all dreams of you
So tired now
Sick and incomplete
Pale and bagged eye
White as a sheet
Just a zombie
Walking in my postapocalyptic world
Empty inside
A barren wasteland in me
Sand, and broken bits of my...

One last Thought
Pounding
His heart fails him
Killing him faster with each beat
His wounds
Gushing red upon the dirt
Never admitting defeat
He bleeds
Every drop
Bringing him closer
To the edge
Looking down
He sees nothing
No one is waiting for him
All of this
For nothing
He laughs
Understanding that his greatest triumph
Would always be his greatest failure
Floating now
Delirious from the lack of blood
The ground beneath him
Morbid mud
The light
Fades from his eyes
One last breath on this...
His heart fails him
Killing him faster with each beat
His wounds
Gushing red upon the dirt
Never admitting defeat
He bleeds
Every drop
Bringing him closer
To the edge
Looking down
He sees nothing
No one is waiting for him
All of this
For nothing
He laughs
Understanding that his greatest triumph
Would always be his greatest failure
Floating now
Delirious from the lack of blood
The ground beneath him
Morbid mud
The light
Fades from his eyes
One last breath on this...

Sleepless
This I say
The world of shadows
No longer the day
Sleepless
For the night creeps
Slipping
Between my bed sheets
I lay still
Wondering what demons stalk
The witching hour ticks
While my alarm clock tocks
Twisting
In my silken cage
My imagination runs wild
My bedroom center stage
The world of shadows
No longer the day
Sleepless
For the night creeps
Slipping
Between my bed sheets
I lay still
Wondering what demons stalk
The witching hour ticks
While my alarm clock tocks
Twisting
In my silken cage
My imagination runs wild
My bedroom center stage

Reflections Unclear
I gaze upon my reflection in the mirror
With dark blue eyes
And frown lines
I see myself clear
Within my soul rises doubt
Fear
Within my heart
Pumps courage
At conflict with myself
A battle before my eyes
Still I gaze into the mirror
Watching as it plays out
Most days I'm afraid to look
Washing my hands
Without glancing up
Afraid
To see what truly hides behind my eyes
Now
I always look
No longer afraid of what I already know
I have accepted my fear
Embraced my courage
Fear only motivates my...

A Day of Woes
A day of woes
For trouble
So easy to find
Alas the sand sticks
Between my toes
The crumbs left over
The ants surely dined
The sky assures me
That the heavens will cry
For today's the day of good deeds
My men shall all die
I held my ground with pleasure
As did all who apposed
My blade sliced with great measure
Steady, heavy blows
I laughed at my ememies
As heavens tears were wept
They fell upon their knees
As death surely crept
I did not yield
To anyone
Upon the sand, or within the...

The Quicksand of Life
Stuck
The floor of my prison
Melted flesh
Holding me in place
The walls
Bleeding
Blood of my blood
All I see is nothing
All I am is me
Even my flesh is false
Hollow
Like a rotted tree
The spirit within me
Begs for me to fight
My heart's tempo
Slowly beating
Will
Dripping away
Water from a gutter
After a rainy day
The fire
Once burning hot
Slowly goes out
The quicksand of life
Swallows me up
Leaving only marks in the sand
A sad memory ...
The floor of my prison
Melted flesh
Holding me in place
The walls
Bleeding
Blood of my blood
All I see is nothing
All I am is me
Even my flesh is false
Hollow
Like a rotted tree
The spirit within me
Begs for me to fight
My heart's tempo
Slowly beating
Will
Dripping away
Water from a gutter
After a rainy day
The fire
Once burning hot
Slowly goes out
The quicksand of life
Swallows me up
Leaving only marks in the sand
A sad memory ...
