POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write with my instincts. I will go months without writing and one day I'll know exactly what to write. They come out as easily as breath. Then they are gone. Everything i write is primal this way.

(I Hope) I'm In Love
can I get
lost in the coding
for the
color in your eyes
will the
pages keep turning
until I'm
falling in love with
everything
I hope you are
because
your just who I need right now.
You've found
my only heart thread
it's pulled when
you flutter your lashes
sometimes
I can't sleep without you
and it
scares me to no end
it's way
too early for that
I can't say
that I'm not happy
you've come
and I am here
and you
make my whole being tremble.

I've got something to tell u...
so...
let me slip away
away from all my thoughts
away from all my life
you...
have come into my heart
my heart that only hurts
my heart that holds you dear
when I...
hold you in my arms
my arms that grow so frail
my arms, they need you there
we...
can slip into the sky
the sky that overflows
the sky that calls me home.
come...
come into my life
come into my self
come into my soul...
you've come into my heart...
But I'm afraid of loving you
let me slip away
away from all my thoughts
away from all my life
you...
have come into my heart
my heart that only hurts
my heart that holds you dear
when I...
hold you in my arms
my arms that grow so frail
my arms, they need you there
we...
can slip into the sky
the sky that overflows
the sky that calls me home.
come...
come into my life
come into my self
come into my soul...
you've come into my heart...
But I'm afraid of loving you

Forever Young
I will live forever
perfectly preserved
by the formaldehyde
in my diet coke.
I'm a machine
powered by caffeine
by nicotine, amphetamines
and visine
carcinogens and antioxidants
dancing harmonious
flailing discordinant
axiomatic anarchy.
I will live forever
with molly, Lucy,
demitri and Sylvia.
after all...
they are my best friends.

Ska Songs
I love you
more than I should
more than is healthy
I love you
for your imperfections
for your madness
I love you
like a man should love a woman
like an idiot
I love you
this love is like a song.
like one of those ska songs about their ex girlfriend
I tried to help you.
I tried to save you.
and that's where I messed up.
its not your fault, its mine.
I'll never date a girl like you again.
... you know...
until I meet another girl like you.
I'll find another girl like in...
more than I should
more than is healthy
I love you
for your imperfections
for your madness
I love you
like a man should love a woman
like an idiot
I love you
this love is like a song.

Wallowing
trace my steps
back to the void
I'm looking in
I am destroyed
defeated not by
the victor but
by the game
the engine died
the motor blew
the head is cracked
the pistons strewn
to and fro they
pressed and pressed
the fire in the belly
of the beast now rests
the tick tick ticking
confounds me so.
I feel that I
cannot let go
of burdens I bore
ages before
I once had divorced
my mind from my soul
Oh fraptious day!
caloo calay!
who am I kidding?
I just want to play
but again I...
back to the void
I'm looking in
I am destroyed
defeated not by
the victor but
by the game
the engine died
the motor blew
the head is cracked

to and fro they
pressed and pressed
the fire in the belly

I'm an individual [just like everyone else]
I will brainwash you
i will swallow you
mangle your mind
follow me
rewire your spine
follow me
your tears are plastic surgery
follow me
take this pill
follow me
buy this phone
follow me
eat this sandwich
follow me
i will spoon feed you into oblivion
i will spoon feed you into hate
i will spoon feed you into war
i will spoon feed you into your graves.
follow me
i will swallow you
mangle your mind

Hands of the Grave
welcome home...
we want you to stay with us...
we love you. stay here
[hundreds of cold bodies]
you can be safe here
[it's dark. they are all watching me]
you will never be alone here.
you will always be useful
we don't care what you have done
we need you all the same.
[icy hands grip my shoulders]
you can bring your friends here
we want them too.
we've been waiting for you.
we are waiting for them.
go and get them for us.
bring them here.
you will always be content
[hundreds of cold hands grabbing me...
pulling me......
we want you to stay with us...
we love you. stay here
[hundreds of cold bodies]
you can be safe here
[it's dark. they are all watching me]
you will never be alone here.
you will always be useful
we don't care what you have done
we need you all the same.
[icy hands grip my shoulders]
you can bring your friends here
we want them too.
we've been waiting for you.
we are waiting for them.
go and get them for us.
bring them here.
you will always be content

Rot Face
a vile substance
in my spine
quickly surging
from behind
I fear it seeks
to undermine
for what it wants
I can't define
although I know
I can't deny
my flaccid eyelids
putrefy
the thoughts I hold
are nullified
the victim
I identify
will quickly stand up
zombified
a madman
seen by all the masses
the gave mind lurks
behind his glasses
feet are chilling
frosted grasses
pestilence is
teaching classes
choking on my
awful crass-ness
weeping willows
laugh at me
giggle softly...

Rhapsody
spinal tap priestess
screaming for Jesus
always devout
but she'll never
believe this
never achieving
never recieving
trapped on the bottom
and never relieving
coreography
shouting blasphemy
raging campaign
with champagne
philosophy
cornered rhapsody
broken atrophy
shredding the time space
clandestine
hipocracy
screaming for Jesus
always devout
but she'll never
believe this

never recieving
trapped on the bottom

Detoxicity
satirical hero
looking like nero
mixing his jäger
with cherry coke zero
can't stand to see
can't stand to be
can't stand to breathe
dreams of the sea
drowns in his clothing
eyelids are folding
suffocating from sleep
deep in self-loathing
can't seem to make amends
he just can't comprehend
hopes he is making progress
onward to bloody ends
hell slowly breaking through
all can see and say its true
can't escape his awful stare
but he can't even look at you
looking like nero
mixing his jäger
with cherry coke zero
can't stand to see
can't stand to be
can't stand to breathe
dreams of the sea
drowns in his clothing
eyelids are folding
suffocating from sleep
deep in self-loathing
can't seem to make amends
he just can't comprehend
hopes he is making progress
onward to bloody ends
hell slowly breaking through
all can see and say its true
can't escape his awful stare
but he can't even look at you

Hollow Eyes
a quaint disguise
my hollow eyes
they see no truth
they see no lies
hollow I am
chained to the man
dead I once was
dead in the sand
Fettergeist: me
how can this be
shackles that drag
set my soul free
garbled bellow
moon glows yellow
haunting, hunting
eyes gone hollow...
my hollow eyes
they see no truth
they see no lies
hollow I am
chained to the man
dead I once was
dead in the sand
Fettergeist: me
how can this be
shackles that drag
set my soul free
garbled bellow
moon glows yellow
haunting, hunting
eyes gone hollow...
