POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Luna~tic
this was written as two different pieces and each one reads independent
but mashed together they read as one story.
a break in the clouds
reveals an eerie glow
the moon shatters
the darkness of the night
as the clouds part
to show their respect
in the darkness of a room
a shadow moves
bathed in the moonlight
shining through a barred window
eyes cast in the color of evil
the wind gives life
to the motionless trees
animating their
exaggerated arms
marionettes on
invisible...

Blood Bleeds Black
blood bleeds black
upon the page
open wounds
that spill my pain
dried crusts of death
of darkened red
leaving behind mournful stains
blood bleeds black
within my brain
flowing out
through open veins
the thoughts are bled
within my head
an onslaught
I must sustain
blood bleeds black
inside my mouth
iron
salt
and the taste of doubt
upon my tongue
my pain undone
a taste
I could do without
blood bleeds black
across my heart
flowing free within the dark

Dissecting Myself
all of this shit has spilled
out into my space
everything in chaos
and out of place
all I can do is
sit
and stare
overwhelmed
and ill prepared
the clutter
and mess that
has come to pass
all of the memories
from the past
lie in the way of my
chosen path
piled in front of me
a monumental task
sifting
and sorting
I try to make sense
of this pile of swill
growing quite dense
completely overwhelming
and deadly intense
causing my heart
and brain to whence
I have...

Burning Within
deep inside the blinding dark
it starts with a spark
a tiny flash of light
that sets a fire
an ill-spoken word
possibly misheard
a sour tone in the voice
put there by choice
with passing moments the fire builds
looks that kill
sharp words slice through the air
damage everywhere
ripping and tearing at the mind
projecting fire in the eyes
scorching and burning and turning black
building and raging and turning to ash
consuming
controlling
pushing
pulling
huffing
sighing
cursing ...

Disempower The Pain
blind my eyes
so I can't see
the pain that is
inside me
scrape out the color
and leave the white
douse the pupil
with blinding light
draw the blood
until they are dry
take from me
my blinded sight
bludgeon my mind
so I can't think
of the pain inside of me
beat out all of the
painful things
the relentless
sorrow
and misery
erase from me the memories
that slice me deep
and make me bleed
rip out my tongue
so I can't speak
of the pain inside of me
save the words

Anxiety
anxiety induced panic
panic induced tears
tears induced pain
makes me insane
out of control
lost
confused
can't breathe
can't think
can't move
swollen eyes
give in to tears
troubled mind
gives in to fears
clinched fists
grinding teeth
mind twist
attacking me
salty tears upon my face
in my mouth a sour taste
the endless tears that stain my skin
have drown my soul once again
within my head a stabbing pain
driving spikes into my brain

Another Day
another day to the world it seems
but its something more to me
time passes by in a blur and haze
to the world its just another day
I almost forgot when I woke up
what the meaning of today was
as the sleep cleared my mind
and I rubbed the slumber from my eyes
I saw the day for what it is
and painful thoughts came rushing in
if the sun came out and the sky was clear
it would still be dark and grey right here
upon my heart a falling rain
casting shadows of tears and pain
another day reminding me
I miss the way that things should be...

A Jagged Pill
with passing time
the motion shifts slightly to the left
unbalanced here
with anxiety building in my chest
I wish I could slow my mind
and think this whole thing through
calm my soul
heal my heart
and lick my open wounds
in my mouth
a sour taste dissolving on my tongue
been swallowing this jagged pill
for days
weeks
months
an eternity has seemed to pass
and this pill will not dissolve
the problems I've been burying
have got to be resolved
I must turn
and face myself,
instead of trying to...

Ashes to Dust
touching the soul
an emotional strain
reaching to the depths of pain
caught in an eternal whirlwind
in the blink of eye
dust scatters through the air
the fog of despair
eclipsing life as the world
comes down
lost in the wind
scattered again
a whispering voice
screaming in the face of god
life shifts to the left
a peaceful unrest
and the world should mourn
with a collective sigh
across eternity and into the dark
deaths journey embarked
breathless a tear streams
down a sullen face
...

Sometimes I Wish
sometimes I wish
I would go numb
or at least not feel so much
to be able to erase
the misery
and control
the sorrow inside of me
sometimes I wish
I could forget
all of the pain that
I am in
to be able to erase
the memories
that keep haunting
and taunting me
sometimes I wish
I could escape
from myself
from all of this pain
to be able to step outside
of myself
just for a while
and be somebody else
sometimes I wish
I would disappear
I think out loud so sincere
come...

**Untitled**
sad eyes
filled with tears
anxiety
driven fears
the world seems
so unclear
as its ugly head rears
a bite to the soul
from reality's teeth
old wounds once again
bleed
desperate
to fill a need
and destroy
what is trying to feed
tear drops slide
across the skin
staining the face
...again
fighting the
demons within
and desperately hoping to win
trying hard
not to choke on the lump
in my throat
swallowing hard
I really hope
that I can find a way to cope

Somethings Missing
I've searched
high and low
and here and there
I've looked everywhere
in my mind and
in my heart
I've even looked in the dark
back through time
and in the now
but its nowhere
to be found
I've poured through words
line upon line
every structure and every rhyme
I've dug through my soul
time and again
looked to the thoughts deep within
I've searched the day
and through the night
so elusive when it hides
under the bed
and behind the couch
but still it cannot be found
