POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not a poet.... I'm not a writer.... I'm just a dreamer.
?Muse?
Dramatic.
Angry.
My muse deceives.
Yet it transcends and
bewilders the thoughts that
recoil within.
It clashes... like swords
like beasts it gnaws....
Poking its fingers into my raw wounds

Firsties
Ripples that make innocence
wake with desire.
Flows in---
Flows out---
Flows from an empty heart.
They're filled with seeds of sunflowers...
With time, the ripples they smooth out..
It dies, decays.
it fades--hurt and pain.
Tears
Flows in---
Flows out---
Flows from a shuddering heart
Overwhelmed by the poison of the first rose scented blossom
--- the scar that was sowed in the dawn of your first love
Will make room for more seeds to grow... ...

Nameless
The waves give and
drown out the names
I have given to you.
The names that have emerge
from the depths of my dreams
to haunt my day light fantasies.
They pour themselves into
the light of the sun.
Just to wither beneath
the heat
of its rays.
In this world of nothingness,
my hope
is but an illusion that stands alone. ...

Cliche
I see
We never had anything between us.
It was just a wish,
a hope of mine.
Six years in the making,
yet my seeds took no root...
I wanted to talk to you,
get to know you... but my fear won out on me
I became timid,
left only to wish that you'd one day
notice me.
Lame
I'm a loser in your eyes.
I'm a bigger loser to myself.
I spoke of my feelings for you
to my closest friends,
but was scared to death
and didn't take any action to make it
happen.

Tell Me
Tell me,
did the wind manage to
sweep you off your feet?
or was it me,
imagining impossibilities
that seem possible due to my dreams?
Did you finally get the chance
to dance along the light of day?
Were you here to explore me
just to leave me,
before heading back towards the Milky Way?
Tell me,
were you able to sail across the sun?
Laughing to your heart's content,
without any knowledge of the
harm you've done?
Are you able to see
how easily the lights can get all weak
and faded? ...

Triggered
Bullet
Life is a game.
It's a Russian Roulette
party, and am I the only
person who came?
I've gambled my sanity.
I've gambled my will.
Betting my life.
Felt the chill,
on the bloody mantel, it spilled;
used as ink
for the reaper's quill.
Curses are bestowed,
capturing my soul;
extinguishing hopes;
hanging butchered dreams
by ropes,
attached to ceilings.
I drowned myself
to the sounds of
Reptilia by The Strokes,
in the background.
The keys are dangling, ...

Porcelain Doll
Buried
The young me found a doll buried in dirt.
It was so beautiful,
so fragile,
discarded, and hurt.
I connected with this inanimate thing.
Even in this shameful form,
It's beauty covered that feeling.
Oh how I wished to be that way.
An Emotionless Beauty.
I started shaping myself up.
Impatient to fit that imagery.
Feigning beauty and strength.
Never breaking,
as my family destroyed itself.
Never cracking,
as my friends betrayed me,
time and time again.

Trials and Pain
the ink to my poetry.
All I have are words,
to pretend I have ingenuity.
My eyes have always
but only been able to see your back.
My hand hesitantly would reach out,
only to quickly retract.
Do I want you to notice me?
Should I keep you pretending?
Do we both continue to play dumb?
In all honesty, I find this all so irritating.
I don't want to love,
the pain it brings is unbearable.
Am I weird to not want to give in
to the unexplainable?

That One Dream
A Recurring Tale
My eyes open,
to a stadium of the world.
Where the cloaked figure
before me lurks.
Competing humans and demons,
convulsing into the dust.
Turning to heaps of ashes,
by the Scythe they're forced to touch.
My heart hammering,
I try to run towards an exit.
Trapped within my mind,
the circumstances are not
to my benefit.
Hands they pull at me,
they keep me from running.
As my Cloaked Master,
slowly keeps approaching.
"LET ME GO!!"
I scream as they...

Shadow of a Beast

A baby girl runs,
quick as quick as she can.
Hiding in the shadows of the forest.
She fears of the night,
She fears of the light
of moon peeking behind clouds.
Heart clamouring in her chest.
Every door in the village is closed.
Closed on her.
Closing her out.
The time had come.
Cognitive words dying,

Inside out
Inside Out.
Why do I feel like this?
I'm not happy,
nor am I sad.
I just exist.
I don't live,
Everything; part
meaningless
lost in this infinite abyss...
I smile,
but the darkness consumes.
Swallowing the ashes
that was once myself,
my soul camouflaging
in the fumes.
The joke is on
no one but death.
All he is feeding on,
is a vast amount of
inner emptiness.
Fattening his bones,
with nothing but air.
For I feel nothing,
absolute nothingness,
not even fear. ...

Goodbye, My Lover
Goodbye, My Friend
Tonight I feast before taking my leave.
Setting scraps of meat unto your breath-taking China piece.
As I dine, I picture the state of decomposition.
Mouth to a bottle of wine, I'll escape this degradation.
Death gave you to me, and death was helped in taking you away.
You are mine and mine alone, I had to force you to stay.
Till death do us part my love,
and I'm not sorry darling,... you had to pay.
Thus, I've cried for the cruelest death to befall you.
May the most diseased maggots, infest you.
For If you are...
