POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
My works are usually dark since I usually write when I'm sad. I can write cheerful poems too, though.
If no one is here
Let go of your mind, body, heart and soul
Give in to the envy, emptiness and hatred
Because all are smiling or crying but me
I am forever silent and blank
I choose not to weep every moment
If no one is here I can smile and laugh
Cry and rage, run and play
Because there wouldn’t be anyone to watch
No one would force me to speak
No one would judge my character
No one to keep me chained
No one to stop me from being alone
Give in to the envy, emptiness and hatred
Because all are smiling or crying but me
I am forever silent and blank
I choose not to weep every moment
If no one is here I can smile and laugh
Cry and rage, run and play
Because there wouldn’t be anyone to watch
No one would force me to speak
No one would judge my character
No one to keep me chained
No one to stop me from being alone

Creating Emotion
I locked myself in a building
As I lit the fire I contemplated
Would I be reduced to nothing?
There is silence to fill the emptiness
I tried to break the silence with anger
But it only left sadness behind
Now I’ve created emotion from nothing
I looked outside the window
All I saw was smiling people
Laughter and warmth
I’m sorry, I really am
Those who don’t understand misery
Those who don’t know of sadness
They’re better off numb
They’re better off dead
I left the building and cried
I hoped that they’d die...

Be with You
The tone of your voice lulls me to sleep
Your smile is filled with mystery
I wish to see it every moment of my life
Even though your heart is in pain
You speak as if nothing ever happened
The warmth of your hands thaws my heart
I promise to end your loneliness
Your smile is filled with mystery
I wish to see it every moment of my life
Even though your heart is in pain
You speak as if nothing ever happened
The warmth of your hands thaws my heart
I promise to end your loneliness

Ghost Town
Despite the misty winter mornings
When night falls music plays from across the street
I quietly listen to the soft melody
It seems as though there will never be silence again
Even if I tried to noiselessly follow the sound
I fear that my golden lights would trail
And startle the one who plays the restful song
A mortal’s song awakens the dead to live once again
The forbidding screams are silenced in the end
Let the soothing sound resonate all throughout
The town is now glowing with golden lanterns
As daybreak draws nearer, the fog...

Blue Fairy
You broke the silence with your whispering voice
Your song brings me to life and grants me peace
Even in the dark hours enchantment takes place
Take me to your enchanted forest and sing for me
Light the path for me
Adorn the trees with your fairy dust
Let there be magic all around us
My smile only grows
Sing for me, Blue Fairy
Fill my heart with joy and laughter
Let’s smile and be carefree
We can be friends eternally
Teach me to fly
I’ll teach you to play hopscotch
Sing for me, blue fairy and let magic take place
Your song brings me to life and grants me peace
Even in the dark hours enchantment takes place
Take me to your enchanted forest and sing for me
Light the path for me
Adorn the trees with your fairy dust
Let there be magic all around us
My smile only grows
Sing for me, Blue Fairy
Fill my heart with joy and laughter
Let’s smile and be carefree
We can be friends eternally
Teach me to fly
I’ll teach you to play hopscotch
Sing for me, blue fairy and let magic take place

The Horrid Beast
The wish left unfulfilled never died
Slowly it manifested itself in the form of a horrifying sight
What have I done to sadden you?
I can no longer believe in myself
You must truly despise me to put me here
Deep within the heart and mind of the beast
I have no will or power to destroy
Yet you put me in chains as though I were a monster
You are quite a monster yourself
To put me in the midst of loathe, antipathy and disgust
What have I done, I cannot understand
As the common folk shy away in fear,
I cannot bear to look at my...

The Shadow and I
Throughout all these years I have been told to speak
But the world was not capable of listening to my words
As lunacy broke out they perished leaving me smiling
I lie in a place where only I may stay but I am not alone
I thought that it was my realm but I was mistaken
I wish to be with my shadow and not my reflection
As the lights go out one by one
The emptiness is fulfilled with tranquility
I tried to bring you alive only to discover
You can only exist in my mind
But the world was not capable of listening to my words
As lunacy broke out they perished leaving me smiling
I lie in a place where only I may stay but I am not alone
I thought that it was my realm but I was mistaken
I wish to be with my shadow and not my reflection
As the lights go out one by one
The emptiness is fulfilled with tranquility
I tried to bring you alive only to discover
You can only exist in my mind

Error
My emotions only grew stronger as I tried to hide them
Even if they were left unexpressed they wouldn’t vanish
I wished to never feel even the slightest pain
Yet tears poured down when I thought of you
As I tried to speak, my words were gentle
I could no longer sound indifferent and mechanical
My feelings for you,
I couldn’t hold them back
Is it merely an error?
I can finally smile and laugh
Have I become human?
I shed tears when I remembered you
But when you call my name
Your friendly smile warms my heart
I am no...

Red Tears
I lost everything in the end
there was nothing left
I was lost in the darkness
only you were with me
On that sad day
Gentle drops of rain fell
And washed away the blood of your wounds
The red tears you shed
Gave me the only emotion I ever had
For the first time in my life
I understood the pain you suffered
I don’t even know whether you survived
But the red tears that you cried
Were left behind
As you limped away
I left with tears in my eyes
I had no choice
But to leave you behind
Although you...
there was nothing left

Were left behind

Heaven's Light
The skies which were once dark filled with color
The sun rose slowly as my heart let some light in
I tried to stay away from the daylight as I feared it
I felt as if I was lost in midst of paradise
I could feel the warmth of the sunrays in your mind
As I saw the world through your eyes
Only the light can bring happiness to this world
Only I am left in this heavenly, peaceful world
I was once regretful when I had to free it all
But now I can break free and rest peacefully
I wished that I could be in the darkness
But when the light...

The Red World
I tried to escape from this red world
I wished to lead a new life in reality
But when I attempted to break free
I realized that there was no way out
I’m trapped forever in this world
Until the color red flows into me
All the other colors will melt away
And I will be a part of the red world
Even at night time, the sun is there
I can neither dream nor can I sleep
The stars light the crimson sky
The autumn light fades and reappears
And the scarlet roses flourish in blood
In the midst of this scarlet world
I’m trapped...

And the scarlet roses flourish in blood
