POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write only when I get inspiration. I usually filter my poems around hatred and loss. But more recently I have been able to filter them through hidden desires.

Moral of the Story
One day there was this fly sitting on the water, but what the fly didn't know was that there was this bass watching him.
The bass thought "hmm... if that fly drops 6 inches I'm gonna get that fly".
Well what the bass didn't know was that there was this bear on shore... and the bear thought "Hmm... if that fly drops 6 inches that bass gonna get that fly and I'm gonna get that bass."
Well what the bear didn't know was that there was this hunter behind him who thought "Hmm... if that fly drops 6 inches, that bass gonna get that fly, that bear...

Star Blazen Rain
I close my eyes
And raise my head to the heavens
My eye lids twich at rain patters on my face
The cool liquid from the heavens energizes me
I see a bright flash on the other side of my eye lids
And then there is a crack of thunder
This thunder clap entices a faster heart rate
Causeing me to breath faster
My hair to stand on end
And for me to enjoy every second of it
I fall back
Landing on the wet manicured grass
I open my eyes
To see star blazen skies
I could never come up with an accurate word

Box of Secrets
My heart always closed
Secrets always locked inside
To reveal them
Is to go against my nature
I shall start off simple
With one most have considered
Some have attempted
And a few have succeded
Numerous time I have tought of suicide
The simplicity of slicing my arm open with my knife
How it would feel to hang myself with my belt
Would it hurt if I ran full speed into my cement wall
I have thought of a creative way
And of a way that screams "I needed help"
I could hook some barbed wire to a bridge

The Journey Through a Wicked World
At the age of seventeen
I am realizing rather quickly
How much darkness surrounds us
This world is not as it is said to be
I want to see the oceans
Stand on a cliff over looking the vast waters
Closing my eyes
Feeling the wind blow the hair from my face
The oceans mist kiss my cheeks ever so lightly
The call of the birds and sea lions to their partners
I want to climb the mountains
Feeling the cold seep through my layers
As I stand atop the world
Staring at universes creation
I wish to journey to the north
To see the...

Is Hell Exothermic or Endothermic?
The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona Chemistry mid-term, and an actual answer turned in by a student. The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well!!
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

Deep Love (by: Gothic Love)
You know my heart is yours
No matter the cost to me
Why couldn't you just see
That even with your flaws
I Love you just the same.
Your kisses made me sane,
And your blood always sustained
My life, for you and me
To live forever happily.
But now that dream
Wont ever be reality,
Until the night you take from me
My unending mortality.
I lived just to be,
With you eternally.
But now with you gone
My mind sways steadily,
Holding on to the only
Hope I retained,
The death, I accept
So...
No matter the cost to me
Why couldn't you just see
That even with your flaws
I Love you just the same.
Your kisses made me sane,

To live forever happily.
But now that dream
Wont ever be reality,

The Rite of Hell
I have had enough of this life
Constantly beating me down
I have always tried to be the good man
Always there for others
Keeping ears and mind open
I was there no matter what
Never had sex
Never done drugs
Never had one I would consider to be an actual girlfriend
Never seriously considered suicide
Being someone who listens to everyone's problems
You figure out who has the drugs
I didn't want this to be messy
I do care about who would find me after all
Walking home after I got the pills
I hear glass breaking
Screams...
Constantly beating me down
I have always tried to be the good man
Always there for others
Keeping ears and mind open
I was there no matter what
Never had sex

Never had one I would consider to be an actual girlfriend

The Truth
Life
Supposed to be the best gift we are given
A new life
A new beginning
A new story
But as it happens to be
We are chosen to fail
Forced to lead mundane lives
The laughing stock of the universe
We are set up to fail
There is nothing new
No new life
No new beginning
No new story
Merely a series of rediscoveries
A redo on life without knowledge of a second chance
A chapter rewritten
A series of unfortunate event that led to the truth
We are not what we seem
We do not have free...

Scum That I Despise
Scum
Slimy, slippery scum
Cheaters
Killers
Liars
All scum of the earth
But there is an even bigger scum
And it is within me
The scum of ignorance
I fucking hate it
I just want to rip myself open
And apply fire and daggers to kill it
I am sorry for being so fucking ignorant
I didn't register your feelings
The thought of you even slightly liking me
Was fathomable
I honestly felt like crying
Or even hurting myself
Which for me
Is extreme
I feel like shit
You were so beautiful
No,...

The Burden of Loneliness
Twitching fingers
Hard to breathe
Wanting more
But never close
The few weeks after are glory
But then the longing sets in
The longing for more
For a connection
The longing for someone to take away the loneliness
To rid you of this ache in your chest
Temptation to get rid of it yourself
The possibility of physical harm
Mental anguish
Wearing the body and mind down
The truth shall set you free
But it can also imprison you
Feeling like you are in a world
With a population of 1
While you are...
Hard to breathe
Wanting more
But never close
The few weeks after are glory
But then the longing sets in

For a connection
The longing for someone to take away the loneliness
To rid you of this ache in your chest
Temptation to get rid of it yourself

End Rhyme War
So much accession,
To all this depression.
I have a confession,
Based upon this transgression.
I have an obsession,
With aggression.
Having discretion,
Is to not have digression.
Your indiscretion,
Left quite the impression.
I must take action,
With this weapon.
With the rhymes of a billion
The war has begun.
To all this depression.
I have a confession,
Based upon this transgression.
I have an obsession,
With aggression.
Having discretion,
Is to not have digression.
Your indiscretion,
Left quite the impression.
I must take action,
With this weapon.
With the rhymes of a billion
The war has begun.
