POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
From the Haze
Sirens whisper silent, sweetened, slander
Surprised that you never saw it coming.
Turned backs, hiding, no one knows their manner
Silver slick grins, you better start running.
Brown eyes, extraordinary true lies.
Account for the lonely salute.
Frame the photographs, go ahead, ask why.
Downtown, people like us do they recruit.
You're the best I never had, put far away.
Safely inside your suit in my head.
Someone in what's left of our lives will stay.
Asking where we went, our hearts filled with cold lead.
Relentlessly, devils...

The Street of Blood
12/8/11
Walking down the alleys, avoiding prying eyes,
Frozen in terror, eyes wide open, praying that what I was seeing was lies.
Turned a corner, nearly screamed, what I saw made my skin itch like a rash.
The sheer horror of it a mind could not grasp.
I had wandered down the street of blood,
The one you always avoid like a flood.
The air was tainted with the stench of mangled metal and rotten fruit.
The pooling, sticky, substance as I walked began to cling to my boot.
I tried to turn away from the hell bound path.
But once you take a...

Remember Me
1/11/11
Remember the way I looked when I climbed that tall, tall tree?
Remember the deep, rich, color of the blood when I feel and scraped my knee?
Remember when we were four, and we wanted to be bumble bees?
Remember that water balloon fight and I commanded you to flee?
Do you remember that my favorite color was blue?
Do you remember how I'd waste your time everyday looking for my forever missing shoe?
Do you remember how I swore almost every word I said was true?
Remember how we played hide and seek and I'd come and find you?
Do you...

Sleepwalking
1/11/11
Walking, dragging, moving through the motions in a daze.
Writing, working, trying to focus in a cloudy haze.
My eyes slipping, wanting to drift, bloodshot, half crazed.
Trying to focus but can't, my mind is in an inescapable maze.
I'm sleepwalking like a zombie in the night.
My brain is so messed up I don't know left from right.
I'm trying to gain control of my mind in this eternal fight.
I feel like I'm in a living dream, all these vivid colors oh so bright.
I'm trying to wake up, stop being here and be out there.
This...
