POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a troubled person who writes about troubling subjects and it seems to make me feel better when I do so , so thanks for your support .
Ain't afraid of midnight
I aim to please .
The demons in the closet .
A hand from under the bed .
The things that chase you out the basement .
Where real all along .
The injection made it go away .
Along with the people .
Things that move in the dark .
Auditioning for a leading roll in hell .
I ain't afraid of midnight .
I live in duel reality .
Neither one is happy .
I am aware .
That I am not .
Heavy horror .
I will never make it out the dungeons.
I'm sure I may be alright .
If you don't appear tonight .
Something must be wrong .
God is...

White butterfly's
Most days you can find me threading needles .
Swimming up stream and treading evil .
I have not found peace shy of death .
Who will ease me in when I take my last breaths .
On pale morning I may get free.
Midnight I maybe found hanging from a tree .
I worry about the ghosts that wont leave me alone .
Are they in your dreams too .
Will you recognize there voice.
Would you form an apology.
Do you remember when we where strong .
Before all the love is gone .
Can you take me back where I came from .
I can't take myself home.

In the dust
I will meet you in the dust .
Look for me in the whirlwind .
I will try not to drag you down .
It is getting dark out .
You still have a shadow in the moon .
There is nothing you can tell me .
This life i live is mighty high .
There is no rest .
Keep your lamp trimmed and burning .
If I should make it across the field .
Will you leave me alone.
Will you please whisper to someone else .
Why is your house full of tears .
The way my lover keeps me .
I see her reflection in everything .
I asked her forgiveness.
She leaves me , ill...

Lacerations
In the state of illusion you suffer contusions
The lacerations you'll suffer is from the neck I was Bruising
I swallow your souls , I'll swallow your life .Ill let you keep one eye so I can see the reflection of my knife .
You try to imagine in your minds eye what did I get my self into that I now must die.
You look from above your dead on the pavement cause you missed that last payment.
So also in death now ya got to be my slave kid .
There is time for fairy tails in the bible you lost.
The most I can do is nail your ass to a fucking cross .That is how I...

My body of work .
My body of work.
The work of my body .
Disfunction , defaced and defeated .
The pail moon .
The hole in the lake .
Connections have gone wrong .
I will take you home .
I will leave you dried up.
Leaves in the oven of life .
Savage frowns of children.
The love is being folded .
Twice defeated .
Once forgotten .
In a parade of shame .
Who stole the clock .
I know I cleaned it .
I hope you understand .
I am all you will lose .
The stain on the bloody paper .
The angry mobs in my head .
There will be trouble...

Sighs
Your reflection sulks behind your shadow .
The years of the past hold you at arms length .
The passage of time narrows In the forge of embers.
The sighs echo of the hours hear after .
Is this the life you have sought.
On the fringes of love .
Lost in all the tears.
Who calls you so far away yet to hold you so unkind.
The emptiness enshrines you .
Inducted into the halls of pain .
What hears what you shout so hallow .
Too lay you down in a pine box.
One by one they take you .
By the other your cast aside.
What waits...

Midnight
Midnight runs In a painted shade of gray .
Just like midnight voyage in side of astrology .
In a different time in a time made of stone .
In a different century , False fortunes over flown .
In the distant miles of fornicated bliss.
Would you take me to the grave or show me where you live.
The mummy of love haunts the hallways of your kiss.
Tell me baby , will you let me live .
Any day the sky's is gray , rain is on its way.
Any day will you be the one to break me .?
Cherry flavored minds and the taste of innocents .
Villainous fiends are amiss ....

Alchemy
Alchemy I'm my living room.
The mix is in the measure .
All for the cause of pleasure .
Woe to those who can't get the right combination .
Sometimes you get the sensation .
Sometimes Go on permanent vacation .
The devil gives twisted revelations.
Beware you recite the wrong incantation .
Theres black hole to put your face In .
That first high is all you will be chasing .
Everyone I know is like Mario brothers ghosts .
Turn your back and they move in close .
Go on like this I don't know if I can .
It's like I'm stuck in a deadly...

Paratalks
Unorthodox paradox things cleaned with Clorox .
Dirty rigs, bent spoons and broken pipes fill your sand box.
Now your rolling down the hill trying to catch crack rocks.
Trying to get to heaven climbing a slippery bean stalk.
And everyone you run into all tell you to get lost .
It's trapping people inside 100 units .
Everyone's saying no but you know you gunna do it.
Now it got you griped in its tentacles .
Pulling you deeper inside old pharmaceuticals.
Got you Looking for more dope in you cuticles.
The only thing ya say now a days is more ....

Sick
The symptoms may be the cause .
I guess I'll be sick today If I don't go out and break a few laws.
My nose is runny , my mind is gone .
The bugs are under my skin again , I've been up since dawn.
I can't stop yawning , my vision is blurred .
There's so much shit on my mind but I can't say a word.
I'm hot and cold and covered in sweat .
Stuck to the sheets and rolling in bed .
My stomach in knots , I been puking bile .
Can't stop shaking as I am laying on the tile .
My bones hurt I can feel it in my soul .
But for anyone asking I just got a cold . ...

Love backwards
Cracks in the floor .
I slip through .
I can look through you.
You can't see me .
I dance with the invisible .
All inclusive night in Babylon .
Heaven is opening but hells closing in.
A black god with chemicals .
I am no longer down .
A lesson in astronomy .
I'm losing my memory.
Shoot the breeze and feel ill .
Your love is broken .
When I fix .
Prodigal son back from Detroit .
Believes no fairy tails .
I am complex .
When depressed .
I speaks the point .
I'm a paid man .
A heroin daydream In heaven .
dime...

In my spot
Blood drips from the end of the knife .
Forming a pool in to witch I can drown and take my life.
I been swimming for forever and I never get to the bottom.
I got problems if you want them I got them.
It seems I stuck living in the past .
Concerned with yesterday and living fast .
Started most days with a crack pipe blast.
I try an maintain but it never seems to last .
The needle is my best friend and I go where it sends me .
Heroin and extacy turn my friends into enemies.
I know one day this will be the end of me .
Cause I refuse to...
