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 =)

Suns & Moons & Stars
Rushed goodbyes to you
false family dark stars shine
in lieu father star
Toxic dark matter
alien infection spreads
blind to cure no hope
Need your guiding light
your warmth if soul to lead me
northstar compass rose
Suns and Moons and Stars
backlit canopy night sky
wishing you were here
false family dark stars shine
in lieu father star
Toxic dark matter
alien infection spreads
blind to cure no hope
Need your guiding light
your warmth if soul to lead me
northstar compass rose
Suns and Moons and Stars
backlit canopy night sky
wishing you were here

The Tree Remembers
But the Axe forgets
Why is it that I can remember all the
times you insist I’m worthless
Or struck me and insist you love me after
But when I look back too reminisce on times of joy they are blank
You’ve stolen my joy
Leaving me with resentment
Then promptly forgot my pain and scars
The Tree remembers
The Axe forgets
Neglectfully leaving a sapling to grow
In roots of vernacular poison
14 hours of limbo
Kidnappers don’t let you call
But was I transplanted to healthy soil?
or cut down before I could sprout? ...

Maintenance
I’m just a small child
I don’t need to be exposed
watching you smoke
breathing in excess
my lungs shrivel
asthma pains me
and you look and say
nothing sleep little boy
I’m scared and alone
bloody hemorrhage
from the nose
and tracing tracks
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I don’t know if I’m ready
I’m still in school
it’s too fast
no means no
get off
but I’m weak
and you’re too strong
hold me down with arms
I hope it...

Stay Out of this Barbara
When I’m alone
the voices come
In the night, in the dark
and I attempt to write dumb gothic poems
Like I have a voice to give
But they gnaw at me
Pleading with me
Cut
Kill
Clean
Cook
Learn
Hate
Love
Shut up
Shut Up
SHUT UP
It’s not just at night
or when I’m alone
or when I’m high
those are just the excuses I tell myself
“it only happens when…” insert here
But if I was faking wouldn’t I be in on it?
I would be wouldn’t I? Wouldn’t I? ...

Talking to Myself
If I had a knife
I wouldn’t hesitate to kill you
to set a record
and leave you
bloody and quiet
If I had a gun
I’d rack a shell, cock-back and destroy you
blown away, acrid metal bite
left you
bloody and quiet
If I had a sword
I’d run it through you
and smirk as you bleed
then leave you
bloody and quiet
If I had a hammer
I wouldn’t quickly kill you
Instead I’d break bones slow
leaving you
bloody and screaming
If I had a garrote
I’d tighten the noose around you ...

Mirror Masked
Dreaming at midday
Feet glide on clouds of stolen memory
Who is this person walking in my shoes
Looking in the mirror
You are not me
Dreaming at midday
Skin slicker than ice
Who are you talking when I speak
Slurring my words
You are not me
Dreaming at midday
Watching you from the dark of the moon
Feeling you from the core of the earth
Who are you
When you are not me
Feet glide on clouds of stolen memory
Who is this person walking in my shoes
Looking in the mirror
You are not me
Dreaming at midday
Skin slicker than ice
Who are you talking when I speak
Slurring my words
You are not me
Dreaming at midday
Watching you from the dark of the moon
Feeling you from the core of the earth
Who are you
When you are not me

Grease Lightning
Glorious high
Stupendous tremendous feeling of being
Yet it's not me
Never "me"
What is
I feel it come from the distance
Wake with a false sense of being
Me
But I ride the lighting
Tiger's blood
"Winning"
Can you keep up
Keep time, keep in step
I'll lead this danse macabre
This light hearted tango of despair
While I'm high
Glorious lightning
Furthermore stunning and striking
It hits me with the know how
Stuns me, leaves me dazed
Smited
You are no martyr
Simply flesh ...
Stupendous tremendous feeling of being
Yet it's not me
Never "me"
What is
I feel it come from the distance
Wake with a false sense of being
Me
But I ride the lighting
Tiger's blood
"Winning"
Can you keep up
Keep time, keep in step
I'll lead this danse macabre
This light hearted tango of despair
While I'm high
Glorious lightning
Furthermore stunning and striking
It hits me with the know how
Stuns me, leaves me dazed
Smited
You are no martyr
Simply flesh ...

Smoothskin
Fresh clean skin
Smooth
Calls for new scars
A heavy handed beggar pulling at my waist
Spare some change
Not tonight

Vampyr
Became what I said I wouldn't
What I wanted at that time
Needed at the time
She said she loved me too
Was it all lies
But I'm still right here
spilling blood
Losing faith
Can't walk in
churches
No more
Covering scars to look at myself anew
But no mirrors or pictures show me mercy
Became a creature
Forced a star to fall
Brought it to my knees
But she said she loved me
I was too young
But I'm still right here
spilling blood
Losing faith
Can't walk in
churches ...
What I wanted at that time

Was it all lies
But I'm still right here

But no mirrors or pictures show me mercy
Became a creature

Losing faith
Can't walk in

Let it Vibe
I'm just tryin vibe for a moment
Get lost for a moment
In this music for a moment
Because when I think to long that's when dark shit starts to spiral in these moments
Leave me be just a moment
I've been here since Reptar went to Paris
Since Chris purple haze' mom had a yellow car
Since I was defiled in dark room and no one cared
But that didn't stop me from knowing I'm the shit
Cause I've been here
Been hit
Too many times to count
And I'm just trying to vibe
I've been here since Larry's postmortem mead ...

Fighting Back
My bipolar is kicking in again
Spiraling out and down again
Don't know if I should move there again
Damn it you can't just keep using again again
Got to keep my feet on the ground again
Keep me feeling down to earth again
Or else I'm feeling too high again
Rapid cycling like it's a sprint again
Where is my support system when I need them again
Can't call out cause I got a frog in my throat again
Damn it all to hell again
Again again again again
Maybe I just gotta mellow out again
Remember I'm the shit again ...
Spiraling out and down again
Don't know if I should move there again
Damn it you can't just keep using again again
Got to keep my feet on the ground again
Keep me feeling down to earth again
Or else I'm feeling too high again
Rapid cycling like it's a sprint again
Where is my support system when I need them again
Can't call out cause I got a frog in my throat again
Damn it all to hell again
Again again again again
Maybe I just gotta mellow out again
Remember I'm the shit again ...
