POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I play around with different styles and structures. I enjoy writing; it's my therapy. I hope you enjoy my poetry! Thank you, for stopping by!
Life is a Canvas
We're born and it's empty
Pure and white, ready for anything
We struggle with where to go and what to do
So foundational colors are presented
Colors we don't worry about at first
Because we think we can work with them later on
And still end with a beautiful image
But as we grow older
Those colors are distorted and faded
We try to add brighter colors
but inevitably this only makes the image darker
We get frustrated and throw it in the corner
Giving up, feeling no way out of the choices we've made
But with patience everything...

Smoldering
So much in a name
Too much to save the soul
It's so hard to see sometimes
The difference in someone's demons
And their ghosts
All I am within me
Burns for what choices you forced onto me
Did you ever really love me
Or just teach me loss
Is the only true freedom?
I can see the faith
Still smoldering in your eyes
But as many times
As we say hello
There can only be
One last goodbye
Wishing well
Short one penny
Brief reflections and recollections
Are all that's left of you
...

Darkness
It's never the darkness that scares me
But what screams from within it
Telling them to go away to no avail
They were never there
Before you created them
How do you turn it off?
Outside of death?
Dangerous; feeding
Shadows will exist even after death
The bit of darkness we cannot exist without
Nor it without us
Our own personal reminder of what is inescapable
Madness exists there in the darkness
The visibly quiet and still
Some will say nothing is there
They do not live there
...

Pigs
all my friends have different names
all my pleasures have secret shames
every rule plays a different game
and only God knows the error of my ways
spin around and squeeze the vice
flip the coin and throw the dice
bring this to life and convince yourself
the money's right to justify
another whore for the voters
plot and pick your names and delegations
burn the righteous and reward the sinners
the strategy of propagation
spit the words of a book
no more real to you than the love
you claim for your child ...

Nosferatu
Staring out from the darkness
How I long to be with you
But you will never see me
Blind to everything impure
Glaring into the light
How I’d love to steal this from you
This curse of purity
Forgiven of your mortal sin
As I lie awake every day
Drowning in my own
I've lost so much time
It feels like centuries
But time is endless for me
Until your face stopped the moon
I thought I was staring into the sun
I felt my skin warm whilst in your presence
As I linger in these frozen shadows
Then you...
How I long to be with you
But you will never see me
Blind to everything impure
Glaring into the light
How I’d love to steal this from you
This curse of purity
Forgiven of your mortal sin
As I lie awake every day
Drowning in my own
I've lost so much time
It feels like centuries
But time is endless for me
Until your face stopped the moon
I thought I was staring into the sun
I felt my skin warm whilst in your presence
As I linger in these frozen shadows
Then you...
