POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Warped Mountain
The aerial view
of a warped wooden mountain
perched half way in the light,
draped in three shades of shadows
Displaying iridescent intricacy
against the conflict of it's cliffs
From the summit
the valley was blackened
boulders of gold
rolled in mud and moss
From the deepest crevice
that same gold was honey
dripping down the sides
of a glass sky,
glittering the snarling slopes
with a godfist worth of stardust
of a warped wooden mountain
perched half way in the light,
draped in three shades of shadows
Displaying iridescent intricacy
against the conflict of it's cliffs
From the summit
the valley was blackened
boulders of gold
rolled in mud and moss
From the deepest crevice
that same gold was honey
dripping down the sides
of a glass sky,
glittering the snarling slopes
with a godfist worth of stardust

Alone with You
There are moments when I am alone
And thoughts of you arrive
Like a tide
Rising Slowly
Ripples of time
Washing over my feet
On the shores of our memories
Staring blankly into the endless horizon
Wondering what could have been
An eternity of possibilities
Haunting me
I remember your hands
embracing me like the cool breeze
Of a sunset bowing to the autumn sky
I remember losing myself forever
In the magic colors of your eyes
I remember watching you sleep
Listening to the rythym of you breathing
All...

Lies in a mirror
I saw you today
I saw you see me
Your eyes smiled at me
Your mouth smiled briefly
Intent on disguising
the tempest you're hiding
Your glance whispered
what i heard as a siren
A thunderous silence
Rumbling beneath the ground
A violence forbidden
from making a sound
Perhaps it's forever
Maybe tomorrow
The more time passes
The deeper the sorrow
The better the charade
masquerading our hearts
They say time needs time
to make a wound a scar
Someday I'll remember
your moonlit sky
But...

Evil is not a monster
The enemy is not a beast
Evil is not the darkness
The enemy is not a thief
The evil lives within us and among us
Smiling and laughing alongside us
It feeds you and loves you like family
It greets you as your neighbor
It stares at you in the mirror
To fight it you must hurt them
To defeat it you may lose them
The enemy is not a beast
Evil is not the darkness
The enemy is not a thief
The evil lives within us and among us
Smiling and laughing alongside us
It feeds you and loves you like family
It greets you as your neighbor
It stares at you in the mirror
To fight it you must hurt them
To defeat it you may lose them

Aveces te miro
Aveces te miro
Mirando lo ausente
Callando lo inseguro
Frenando sin frenos
El coche del tiempo
Corre de prisa
En el espacio que soy yo
Me llena tu brisa
Como son tus alas
Oxidadas sin millas
Quizás no supe
Aunque quise volar las
Las noches burlaron
Las flores en tu vista
Marchitadas de sueño
Esperando mediodía
Creo que lloro
El chaparrón me cuenta
La luna embriagada
Obstruye la senda
Sin ojos abiertos
Aveces te miro
Y despierto lo oscuro
Que escogí sin quererlo
Mirando lo ausente
Callando lo inseguro
Frenando sin frenos
El coche del tiempo
Corre de prisa
En el espacio que soy yo
Me llena tu brisa
Como son tus alas
Oxidadas sin millas
Quizás no supe
Aunque quise volar las
Las noches burlaron
Las flores en tu vista
Marchitadas de sueño
Esperando mediodía
Creo que lloro
El chaparrón me cuenta
La luna embriagada
Obstruye la senda
Sin ojos abiertos
Aveces te miro
Y despierto lo oscuro
Que escogí sin quererlo

You think you know what you know
But you don't know shit
Real life real blood real tears and spit
Trust your gut Cuz the fears legit
Could be the heat or the steel
that'll leaved you ripped
Or a friend with a smile that'll leave you sick
And ain't no telling when the hemming commences
Ain't no telling to the cops and their questions
And ain't no telling how this shit plays out
Most of these killas been dead with their hearts ate out
And they want to share their pain so the pain sprays out
Cuz their love turned to rage and had the light chased...

Ebb and Stone
I have always been the mountain
standing against the unrelenting
force of your tides
A thousand times
you have broken
only to polish
the crude edges of my shores
Wading in your storms
left exposed when you receded
into your abysmal mystery
I've served as your faithful audience
Your ebbing dance and rumbling songs
shaping my posture
and soaking my resolve
Your subtle touch
conspires with time
to flay and plunder
my broken pieces
Pieces you keep inside yourself
Sediments of my sentiments

Sleeping for awakening
This feeling of wanting to sleep is an overwhelming plea for peace. I'm not talking about any old sleep. i mean the sleep that you don't necessarily want to wake up from. This sleep may even be an awakening because everything about the sun, the air and the space I occupy has become foreign. Although I know every detail and can name every face there is an underlying truth that steals my sense of peace. It's a voice that whispers in my ear begging me to remember that this is not home and these are not the hours i was meant to reign. Perhaps I'm just making shit up in my head. Perhaps my...

Skyward down
I heard him speak in a scorching tongue
It was an ancient language spoken by the serpent's son
Conceived of glowing embers when the earth begun
By the time he came of age he would plunder the sky
snatching stars out of alignment
Redefining constellations blazing tendrils in his wake
Weaving the scriptures of infinity into unchaste sonnets
But the prophecy promised atonement
Dwelling in squalor was the son of an omen
Sulfur in his breath with the posture of Odin
Boulders of stone were his shoulder's adornment

Sun Chaser
City lights lit the city heights
with hues of pain and joy
it was a prism of emotions
to this aimless boy
reflected off of broken bottle glass
it lit the way, down the road,
through the path, I couldnt escape my fate
so im a hustler
aint no denying that
I had intuition and a set of eyes in back
born in the lion's den there aint no lying back
and id be lying to say I aint got the iron packed
though i never had to use it
justice was raw
things got out of hand and brought the muskets to war
out of fear for our lives cuz we living in...

Sin and Cinderella
Hell is Home
Is a hell of a song to sing
Celebrating the death of everything
The putrid scent of whats decomposed
Coats the walls in an acoustic prose
Seething cries of morbid desire
Froth with blood over feral fire
Higher still were the dancing flames
Tantric embers we fought to tame
Lost and found in the poetry of chaos
Seducing a victory for our sultry seance
We rolled and rumbled weaving our strings
Into an instrument of pain for beauty to sing
Beset by fear and anxious tune
We waltzed on air with the stars and moon
Is a hell of a song to sing
Celebrating the death of everything
The putrid scent of whats decomposed
Coats the walls in an acoustic prose
Seething cries of morbid desire
Froth with blood over feral fire
Higher still were the dancing flames
Tantric embers we fought to tame
Lost and found in the poetry of chaos
Seducing a victory for our sultry seance
We rolled and rumbled weaving our strings
Into an instrument of pain for beauty to sing
Beset by fear and anxious tune
We waltzed on air with the stars and moon
