POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Dark Love
Your love is my drug and I'm glad to get high
I never want to come down, I don't want to be cured
You light me up like a fire, and I burn ever sweetly
Sick with your affection, I'm losing control
So out of my mind, insanity grips me like a vice
Killing me, killing me, I'm sleep with the dead
Come wake me up, breathe life into me
Take in my light, my gift to thee
Give me your darkness, I thrive on its poison
Submit to your power, I'm weak in your hands
My darling, my dear
You're bleeding all over
Shall I bleed out my heart,
So...

Come wake me up, breathe life into me
Take in my light, my gift to thee

Ache
My Love, oh my love
How far you have gone!
I long for your return,
To be held in your arms again.
An ache has set so deeply,
Into my very bones.
It is all in want of you.
My blood burns, bittersweet
Whenever I think of you.
My heart yearns,
And I pine for you.
My loneliness eats at me,
Like fire and sulfur.
Harsh and bitter tears,
Fill my mouth with
Their vile taste.
I will beg the very stars
For their mercy.
If only they might
Give you back to me
How far you have gone!
I long for your return,
To be held in your arms again.
An ache has set so deeply,
Into my very bones.
It is all in want of you.
My blood burns, bittersweet
Whenever I think of you.
My heart yearns,
And I pine for you.
My loneliness eats at me,
Like fire and sulfur.
Harsh and bitter tears,
Fill my mouth with
Their vile taste.
I will beg the very stars
For their mercy.
If only they might
Give you back to me

siren
What is that sound?
It floats upon the air
Like a gentle breeze.
How beautiful it is,
Soft and sweet and lovely.
Like spun sugar it melts away,
It warms my blood
Caresses my skin.
I shiver as it rolls over me,
Like waves of water, lapping at the sand
As I listen I find myself lost.
All that I know is gone forever.
I fall deeper into the melody,
Drowning in music and words.
I catch a glimpse of the siren
She pulls me in,
Her song echoing about me.
A smile, like sweet poison
Blesses her face
And I know no more.
It floats upon the air
Like a gentle breeze.
How beautiful it is,
Soft and sweet and lovely.
Like spun sugar it melts away,
It warms my blood
Caresses my skin.
I shiver as it rolls over me,
Like waves of water, lapping at the sand
As I listen I find myself lost.
All that I know is gone forever.
I fall deeper into the melody,
Drowning in music and words.
I catch a glimpse of the siren
She pulls me in,
Her song echoing about me.
A smile, like sweet poison
Blesses her face
And I know no more.

Lost and Confused
Emotions kept under lock and key.
Feeling so lost and confused.
No one to ask, no way to express
Perhaps I am broken?
Is there something wrong with me?
If anyone knew, they'd call me a freak.
Sick, twisted, in need of help.
But I'm none of those things.
Right?
I'm just different, expressive, creative.
Not weird or freaky or insane.
What did I do wrong?
I don't really know.
Maybe nothing, maybe everything.
Why do I feel the things I do?
What changed that these things came to surface?
How can I deal, understand? ...

My Angel
Angel, sweet darling
the taker of my heart.
How your touch
causes me to tremble.
The warmth of you, your body upon mine
sweeping me away
as if on wings ethereal
Oh dark Angel, please fall for me
Straight into my open embrace.
Let your wings lose their luster,
Darkening Angel
Your feathers, black as cool midnight
Caressing my skin.
How I shudder
With languid desire.
Like fire coursing in my blood,
as my breath
hitches in my throat.
Your lips
pressed to mine in passion, ...
the taker of my heart.
How your touch
causes me to tremble.
The warmth of you, your body upon mine
sweeping me away
as if on wings ethereal
Oh dark Angel, please fall for me
Straight into my open embrace.

With languid desire.

Angel
Revel in the beauty of the Angel
Let her song fill your ears and ease the soul
Watch as pale feathers flutter upon the blessed air
She errs in the ways of Heaven
To bring blessings on the head of Humanity
Even as she flies over their fields of blood
Humanity attempts to join her
On frail wings of wax and vanity
To reach into Heaven's exquisite fare
Though they are cast away as Icarus by the sun
The blasphemers are rescued by the Angel they sought
Her kindness is repaid by capture
Her once envied wings crushed by chains
She weeps as...

Call to Muse and Lover
Oh Muse, my Muse
Where have you gone?
Why have you left me for another?
Oh Love, my Love
You have gone from me too
Stolen away by the Dark
Return to me Oh Muse
The rhythms of my soul
Inspire creation within me
Restore to me what is lost
Return to me my Lover
Keeper of my heart
Come to me faithful Lover
I will guide you from the Dark
Let the Light restore your sight
that which has caused you to stumble
Sweetest Muse, broken Muse
Who tried to rescue my Lover
Torturedand beaten by the consuming Dark...

Ribbon
What innocence there is
In love young and light
It blossoms like a flower
It fills the air between
My heart is ever tied to yours
Like a ribbon upon my finger
Of scarlet like my blood
White as my spirit
And gold as is my soul
Unhindered by time
Unchanged by passing distance
It stands solid as the earth
Untouched by life's experience
Yet hampered by doubt
Frayed by fire
Nearly claimed in the darkness
The ribbon loosens across chasms
As the ground slips beneath us
And the Earth crumbles away
And somehow we fall...

Feelings of love
Why is it that I love you?
I wish it were not so dearly
My body tingles with warm lightning
Whenever you are near
Must I desire your touch?
I wish it weren’t so warm
Perhaps then, I would not crave
The gentle sensation against my skin
Why is it I desire the press of your lips
Against my own?
Perhaps if they lost their sweetness
I would no longer want of their taste
My thoughts often find their way to you
Sometimes my dreams are of time we shared
So that even in sleep I am not free of you
Your laughter is something I enjoy
A...

my angel
my Angel
my darling
my sweet-hearted love
I love to hear your
voice in the morning
Like a breeze that
flutters
through rose petals
your voice is soft
a kiss upon my cheek
A birdsong
that captures the heart of my soul
Save me , my angel
my sweet-hearted love
from the turbulent waves
a sword upon my
ever-being
Glide on your wings
white feathers
of softest snow
my dearest angel
my lasting love
Snatch me from
the dark waters
lest I drown forever
my darling
my sweet-hearted love
I love to hear your

mind maze
All I see are stone cold walls
Gray and damp in their futility
Heavy chains of rusted metal
Keep my mind imprisoned
Like a medieval criminal
Awaiting final judgment
Stuck in this thought prison
Cell block W
Block A can’t handle me
No room in Blocks B-G
H-M are too much for me
N-S are set for madness
T-V is for lazy bums and
X-Z are nonexistent
Like my creative drive
Walls of my mind
Blank like
A white sheet
Fresh easel
To begin painting
Painting my thoughts

listen to the sound of it
them people working
to get that money
it can’t be all inside my mind
others must see it too
them people working on
the Down Low
dirty jobs that no one sees
corner hustlers on dark streets
all for that ‘Merican Dream
too bad for me
young and restless
stuck in my poppa’s recession
with no where to go
no kinda help
hope is less than lucky
lucky less than fear
fear less than terror
terror at what shall be lost
by the loss of my ‘Merican Dream
all these radio divas, flo’ riders
