POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i am what ive become. i have become as you and you as i. let us breath as one a frantic psalm, and let our hearts race through touching palms. let our nerves hold tongues in place and bleed through at earliest convenience, our soul to a dim screen.
the sorcerers pain
the sorcerers pain
has waned, now
but once was so strong
I invented the name
long days, long gone
but never dispelled
I no longer fear hell
gods pale in my gaze
and maidens they blush
at touch of my whim
blood pressures rise
resistances dim
the witch, the vamp, just spirits akin
at least I've begun to grow into my skin
in this life and any other... Trust your instincts, do a barrel roll.

thoughts from a crucifix
may the skies remain forever gray (an honest shade)
the skeletal fingers of the earth but silhouettes
ranging ever skywards
to draw life no more... more inspiring than a sunset whos colours i dont see
a dejected weird grins
a colour changes and just like the sun it makes me want to hide
makes me wish i were stronger
i can make a club afraid
the whole bar turns blue and bends their necks when i passed....
life is a musical thing and the cosmic breath likes to bend the strings
the skeletal fingers of the earth but silhouettes
ranging ever skywards
to draw life no more... more inspiring than a sunset whos colours i dont see
a dejected weird grins
a colour changes and just like the sun it makes me want to hide
makes me wish i were stronger
i can make a club afraid
the whole bar turns blue and bends their necks when i passed....
life is a musical thing and the cosmic breath likes to bend the strings

sound the alarm
they said it was better to be pissed off
i take their advice every morning
just strolling through scorn filled days
with chipped teeth and a broken back
(my shoulder was never intact)
the drug market here is sooo wrecked
my bloody neck is sore and im tired of hiding evidence
(cleaning the mess)
tired of whores(chores) and their gory stories splattered about their boorish oratory 'cuz they neEEds attention! but dont know how to get it. yeah i hit it. i bit down and lit it up.
have you ever been ashamed to get it up so easy?
gotta get my mind off these...

blasphemous pretense
retention wholly considered
with resistance
but dreams seem to ignore innocence
i keep fooling myself
i just wanna cuddle
want someone to cuddle me
im tired now, but i cant decide
on how to die
what are thoughts anyway?

dark side of the shadow
where is the place for secret writing?
for the words that must be hidden
yet must be shared
forwords of truest feeling
that expose weakness
and must be hidden
yet they are the only words
you care to share

the hiding season
sunless skies
silent woods
tongues are sharp with ice
waters harden
stiffer hearts
winter is here again

contorted messes
coalescence- convalesces novas essence
a convoluted nexus
of nothing-mores and none-the-lesses
best wishes with second guesses
and a sleepless night
to show what rest is

excuses, excuses
circles carved deep
submerged underground
to see something gained
as veins seep unbound
slain for the pleasure
to measure the pain
for fairier flesh was strained

what a shitty day
shittier week
take a ride to the
pharmacy
no security
shopping spree
first my pockets
then my head
ill take my fill
from each red pill
its alot to swallow
fuck it though, right?
thousand-yard-stare
accidentallyunaware
im not breathing
feels so good to come back
vacuum chest and greet theceiling
its the best god damn feeling
just to move.
i feel as juvenile as i do alive
fuck it though, right?

patience
beyond the flesh
a mind, deeper still
what is this that observes the brain?
the form is complete
closed eyes see
rebirth

a fine host
my hands are always red
blade trembling
i could wash my hands again
or not
i breathed in a voidspace
and pushed it around
deeper, deeeeeeper
my hands stink
like insides
its all i like
i taste the stench
with a smile
and cry a little
noisy walls
they are condescending
ignore it. manic sobbing.
i took 14. im so smart!
im falling apart...
i knew i could...
why didnt they love me
like i wanted?
nothing just shuts up
like i want.. not even
when theyre touching
four walls ...

the fire is our world
and we are as night and day
dancing in the cold
let us chase lonely circles through the sky
forever apart
