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.

reflections
viral lucidity in a dark place
spirals rigidly. what is grace?
distractions cast thick veils
solitude claws through
reveals the mold, rot and soul
of green and yellow, and blue

its not safe to go alone
nocturne, dread, return.
a dead lanturn, red guts
furnish the forest floor, and churn.

fear and delight
drink in
ephemeral light
sinks in tight
fluttering hearts
and stutters

be trees
You are but a grain of sand in the ever shifting beaches of existence
molding as the wrathful waters see fit
But I am a mighty tree, rooted firmly in my beliefs
My kind hold fast to our truths
and though we may perish, the seeds we leave behind will grow
and continue the cycle unto oblivion.

my take on the world
This morning I awoke, not from sleep, but from my false state of mind
In this world of war what peace can we find?
And every single day were fed the same old lies
They cover up the blood but they cant hide the cries
I don’t think im gonna make it, I just cant hold on
Everywhere they go they take and take til everything is gone.
And everywhere we go we try to ignore the blatant violence
But now my minds hangin from a thread, and I cant ignore the silence
Cause its ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
An ocean of blood spilled for a hollow lust.
But if I...

reminiscence of yesteryear
consumed in dread in a black and red room
where a soul once decayed, betrayed and entombed
assumedafraid, a danger exhumed
burned by the light, the shade cooled my wound.
where a soul once decayed, betrayed and entombed
assumedafraid, a danger exhumed
burned by the light, the shade cooled my wound.

veil of shadows
suffering silent nightly bluffs smothering
with hope dismissed
moonlight reveals bliss shunned and covered
beautifully grotesque

to dream upon a crutch
have you seen what can be seen?
can you taste what cant be touched?
have you sung the rhyme as old as time and claimed you felt too much?
and sang the rhyme again? beginning to its end?
then you my friend, have learned to live, to dream upon a crutch

anticipation
Damn the noise, that precipitous cacophony.. the incessant ambiance of pity and doubt…My body writhes, blind in the dark and still.. that noise continues.. My mind contorts, burning for something that doesn’t exist. And still, the noise grows louder. The noise will never go away.. not until its deafened me completely, not until it watches me break. Must it be so? Surely with our boundless potential we can find another path. Surely this is not our fate… there is no past to be undone, there is no future to gaze into, there is only the ever shifting moment in which we all dwell.And perhaps one...

a very dark night
it was very dark last night, the moon and stars hide their faces from me yet again, as if they are ashamed. have i been betrayed? in a thick fog i felt my soul depart from me, hiding also from me. paranoia is setting in. anxiety. what could go wrong? what are the chances? as good as anythings chance i suppose. stray not from the lighted path, or the fires glow at night, or the company of loved ones, because solitude can be dangerous, too much time in your mind can trap you there. the human mind, boundless, like a library of incoherent and blank pages. with my minds eye i gazed upon an image,...

grim weir
flicker, flicker, dimmer
shimmer not thicker
yet thin and sicker
everything dies
mister, mister, lend
to grins and bitter blisters
friends and sinners
until it dies
shimmer not thicker
yet thin and sicker
everything dies
mister, mister, lend
to grins and bitter blisters

a dream forgot
whos breath did slyly sing to mute the breeze?
a sweeter repose, and the sun waits
the winds dare not unrest, and cease
to watch her dance with moon and lake
ephemeral, ethereal, a dream forgot
spilled from bloody lips
the sky trembles against
a sweeter repose, and the sun waits
the winds dare not unrest, and cease
to watch her dance with moon and lake
ephemeral, ethereal, a dream forgot
spilled from bloody lips
the sky trembles against
