POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I once referred to myself as Miasmic Asylum, but I feel a sense of rebirth. A true meaning to the name Asylum. Seek shelter within, some may find a void ridden abyss, others a bright shinning lighthouse. And yet I'm taking this to seriously =)
Trapt
Breaking down
Crumbling
Cracked cornerstone
Weakened foundation
Shadows bend so close to me
I'm not liking what I'm seeing
Not liking what I'm feeling
Sinking ever deeper
Seven years of dust and I-
Can't heft myself up
To stellar space
Instead I'll lay here in the mud
As shooting stars rain down on me
Hailing down, dented frame
Molding the name
Jezebel
Judas of the sheets
I'm just another notch
And you're just a whore in my song
Want to act on this violence you make me feel
But I hold back my...

Love
Se eros
I yearn to be inside you
To feel your love surround me
And fill you with mine
I yearn to hold you after
And to whisper in your ear
To be ready for more
Se philia
I crave your touch
I miss your voice when you speak
I'm entranced by your scent
You lure me in with your lips
When I see you I melt
Needing more
Se mania
My intrusive thoughts are of you
Yours is the only face I see
The only voice I hear
Everything reminds me of you
Everything brings thoughts of you
And I want...

Don't feel bad for this cat
Gotta kill myself nine times just to get it right
I'm a fall out waiting to happen
A boy without a man's experience
And my ribbon says "do not open"
your scent stains my pillow
Deepening my sorrow
And this is more than I bargained for
Trading friends for trips to the hospital
Thanks for the memories, only wish they were sweeter
I can only blame my problems on the world for so long
Before it all comes crashing down
I keep telling myself
I don't need you
I'm not the type
Now I'm trying to...

Partner
I never wanted to dance with nobody but you
Got me weak in the knees
And I do the jitterbug
Pop and lock my love
I never wanted to dance
But you waltzed in
Tapped on my heart with jazz hands
This tango, a dangerous game
The rose passed, now wilted
I swing and sway
Like a pendulum, your grace
Never wanted to dance
But you thrashed your way
Into the mosh pit of my brain
And did the soul train
Now
All I want is to do the time warp
Back to when you'd hold me
Moonwalk to when you were my star
Instead I...

Missing Pieces
I hate everything about me
Three Days Grace
Don't bother with me
I curl, tight ball
Shame flows and courses through me
I hate the songs I write
The pictures taken
Simply I'm fakin'
And I hate that I need you to love me
"It gets easier"
But when?
I've been waiting
Karmic justice beats me into the ground
Unlovable
Non tocare, questo animale
You left, no telling where
When I go to sleep at night
Are you even aware
But this isn't about you
It's about me
My faults, mistakes, failures ...

Hollow eyes can see
The lies behind the words you speak
Promising infinity
Instead you're ghosting me
You molt
Shedding my love
A snaking striking, lightning bolt
This is borderline assault
I try to run
Flap my wings and fly away
But to you, killing me is fun
You used to be my sun
So now I've got bad blood
I'm gonna wash my hands of you
Drown myself in a mad flood
And drink in the sad mud
You never said-
-Goodbye; I thought we shared something
Now I have a cold bed
And a...

Hollow
shallow
heart sinking depths below
I don’t know what to do with myself when you’re gone
my hands can’t hold a grip
my voice a tune
pleasure leaves me
Hollow
beating
faint retreat, be seated
collapsing, nothing without you, defeated
but then
your car pulls into the drive
I claw at the door like a lonely mutt
when you’re gone
I chew at the furniture
and scratch till I’m raw
then you return, keys jingling
I shake with excitement
Do you love me, master?

Gibberish
Never have I ever
Forgotten the life
Of my wife
Yet I sever
My ties
Little white lies
Omnipotent gods
Manifest destiny
Insufferable sods
Arrows in my knee
Sending me away
To avoid melee
Feeling like a legend
Forgotten with time
Plotting revenge and
Crossing my line
Raping and pillaging
I'm into killing
Never have I ever
Pointed the finger
Been to clever
Stop and linger
Chipotle peppers and gibberish
Tatar and fish
Forgotten the life

Betrayal doesn't come from my enemies
Cutting Samson's hair in the night
Judas coins, paid the price
Et Tu Brute
Non tocare
-with your liars dice

Purging the Shadow Rift
Purging the shadow rift
I set the medic on fire
There was light there once
To fill the void
Bravo six going dark
Paradox Brothers Oscar Mike
Into the Borderlands
Purging the shadow rift
I set the medic on fire
There was light there once
In the demon's maw
Sierra One One Seven
Requesting to give them back their bomb
Then K373 and K130 will finish the fight
Purging the shadow rift
I set the medic on fire
There was light there once
Sucked into a dead vacuum
Two brothers delving deeper
