POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
....I just write rhymes, not a poet.
Night Trip
I took a trip last night into my dreams
To a place that I'm sure no one has seen
The sky was black as the darkest of nights
But everything else was a spectrum of light
With no one around but still voices I hear
When all of a sudden a doorway appeared
A sign on the door said welcome, come in
And that's where the story of this journey begins
When I turned the knob and pushed open the door
I almost stepped in when I noticed no floor
I heard a voice tell me "do not be afraid"
"This is a journey of the choices you made"

True Lies
I was sitting in the park one day
in the shade underneath a tree
When I saw this little squirrel come up
and sit right next to me
I watched it sit there for a while
then I offered it some bread
He looked around then looked at me
'no thanks' I thought he said
I knew I must be hearing things
so I said 'say that again'
He said 'I said no thank you'
and I about jumped out my skin
Squirrels aren't suppose to talk
or at least that's what I thought
But he asked me for a cigarette
and said that'd ...

Hearts That Never Mend
Last night I dreamed of muted sounds
where echoes have no end
Which came from sorrows people face
with hearts that never mend
They follow down the path that leads
through shadows of despair
Beyond the stream of tears they've cried
to the path that leads nowhere
Where the sobs are only memories
that haunt without a word
And bring to life the distant past
of voices never heard
But in the forest of the lost
are trees of lonesome pain
Which mark the passing of the ones
who've ever loved in vain
...

Drowned In Tears
My heart weighs heavy on my soul,
For both are drowned in tears
The endless struggle in myself,
Made worse throughout these years
I walk along this path to Hell,
While Deaths upon His throne
Beneath a sky as black as night,
This stranger goes alone
I hear the wails of those who've lost,
And again....will never be
As waves of crimson pound the shore,
Then crash back to the sea
Frozen in the place I stand,
My voice a silent scream
I fear this time I may not wake,
To end this tortured dream
...

Evil In Us All
I've been called by many things,
But Evil is my name
I live within the hearts of men,
Where hatred stays the same
I'm sure you think you know me,
But I'm not the man you see
I'm only just a figment of,
Your own insanity
I prey upon your darkest fear,
And feed on all your pain
I shatter every dream you've had,
Til nothing else remains
I'll slowly take your very life,
Just one breath at a time
And destroy all that which makes you you
Til everything is mine
Even though I'm not alone,
So...

Warm Embrace
I can't escape the loneliness
which haunts me deep inside
There's no one I can turn to
and nowhere left to hide
For years I have been tortured by
these thoughts within my head
My sanity slips far away
with every tear I shed
Control beyond my hopefulness
and peace so far from sight
I hate the waking thoughts I have
and dread the dreams at night
Can Death secure my restlessness
the grave relieve my fears
Or must I continue hating life
through my remaining years
Surely Death's a...

and dread the dreams at night

through my remaining years

Life On Hold
Time is passing so slowly.....
Facing the future armed with uncertainty,
I pray the absence of normality makes everyday the same.
No longer to deny my mistakes,
I know where to place the blame.
So I try to make the best of this situation,
stripped of all my dignity,
still I maintain my frustration deep within my mind.
Behind these bars I am able to keep my sanity.
For however long this must be,
my time will be spent focusing on tomorrow...

Love Shines Through
Though clouds have formed within my soul,
These months we've been apart
And though the sun may never shine,
Your love shines in my heart
I know I promised you the moon,
But pain is all you've seen
When selfish pride was all that fueled,
My insecurities
I'll live these days in deep regret,
For putting you through this
And dream at night of nothing more,
Than tasting your sweet kiss
Although these days may turn to years,
Behind these concrete walls
And if we both are true at heart,
Then love can...
