POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Hollow King
In a moment of betrayal, when trust was laid bare,
Laughter masked the anguish, a heart shattered to weep.
A master of illusion, weaving pain with such ease,
In shadows of affection, innocence fell to its knees.
Sweet words turned to mockery, a cruel, chilling game,
As manipulation tightened its grip, an unrelenting claim.
Each promise, once vibrant, now wilts in decay,
Echoes of sorrow linger, where love faded away.
Behind God’s name, a hollow king hides,
Using Jesus as a shield, while darkness abides.
A wolf...

Over it
To say, I hate you would still mean I care.
Truth is, I feel nothing towards you.
Not love
not hate
not envy
not regret
not solace
Nothing.
It’s as if you have evaporated from my very existence.
I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I know you’re gone.

Sequestered
I suppress the deepest part of my essence for fear of retrieval.
If the spark hits I
Extinguish upon air.
The dark, dirty, gritty, color oh color…..life lives far deep within the prison created for such emotions lock and keyed sequestered. For if let out it would disturb the rules set by me societally standard.
Keep pushing keep pressing keep it down. Creativity must be silenced passion isolated be quite be still.
For if it were found passion might engulf in flames
And the precious little yarn that locks my prison might unravel. ...

Isolation
My mind is void of any and all creativity. Some part of me has deemed it unworthy. I don’t want to say it’s gone but I can’t find where it went. I look back on past creativity and some of it makes me sick, it’s cringe worthy oppressive and chained. Others the creativity makes me want to cry, some of it brings light but most of it dark. The depths of my heart is where creativity began. Yet my heart is blocked in pain or worst yet void. I feel blank. Happiness is few and in between. Joy is slow although contentment is still.

Death is the beginning of life.
Death is said to be the end ...... But What if death is simply part of our expansion . life's medium is learning to become an all encompassing part of existence by disengaging our singularity and egotistical. Self .Imagine life is where we are learning to crawl. death is simply where we learn to walk ? Science has passed down empirical law for millennia. through every possible venue since the beginning of time .
Death is not our final destination, it is the start of our expansion our exchange of resources and energy , It is when we separate ourselves from

sun and moon
How has our love become , the same story as the sun and moon? How could lust become eternal love? When and how exactly did the shadows become light? and light became dark?
A love affair born of sin, is the story of the sun and moon. Each day the sun is forced to be without the moon. As the moon is forced to be without the sun. As the sun rises to light dark sky, he hides a dark void deep within his heart, just as the moon ever so Lonely casts her light upon the darkest shadows of the night.
The affair of the sun and moon, had been brought on by the total eclipse...

sociopath's battle
I know the hand behind the knife .
I know the dagger, I know the root of the evil.
I've felt the knife over and over .
I've felt the knife twist deep in my soul.
At times it would twist so hard I thought I might die.
You have won so many times , manipulated and turned even the purest.
You hide behind your she sheep's clothing with Just enough right and good to fool all of your prey.
Your there during the battle , In fact your right dab in the middle .
This is your home . without the battle you would be lost .
But as the soldiers train learn to be brave ,...

I feel a longing within me and I wonder if you feel it , if the desire and emotion that engulf my mind. give you purpose. I wonder, honestly if the emotion of longing steers me toward you.
As I touch myself I think about your body taking control of mine . I imagine you touching yourself with me in your heart,as your eyes close and our bodies together release a moment of ecstasy pleasing each other in ways unknown .
Everything I've known to be real, is broken . Everything I thought I knew, I don't . Nothing matters. I no longer need to look upon my past and wander...

Forbidden
Forbidden, is how our kind of love is seen.
Yet in another place and time .
We'd never argue, unless it'd be of what linens to use.
we'd never fight, unless it'd be over the next adventure to explore.
I would love it all
Every insecurity you feel that no-one else knows.
I'd make them all disappear .
love all your strange all your weird,
Your soul would have conviction that for me your abnormal is my normal .I accept every part of you.
I'd ease your pain within.
Heal your tormented heart and your lonely soul.
Teach you what true love is. make...
