POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I like chaotic writings with no sense of rythm or rhyme scheme because they throw people off. I feel they go more un-noticed which is preferrable for me. I mostly write poems to learn more about myself.
Dreams
Convulsions inside of me erupt
These feelings deep have been locked up
This dark crypt I call my mind
Is a place I want to leave behind
All of these lonely dark blots
Tormented with pitiful thoughts
Tangled with hope and smothered in decay
My dreams I wish could see this day
But without hope all meaning is lost
To sacrifice happiness is the cost
So tucked up and left inside
My hopes and dreams are left to die
These feelings deep have been locked up
This dark crypt I call my mind
Is a place I want to leave behind
All of these lonely dark blots
Tormented with pitiful thoughts
Tangled with hope and smothered in decay
My dreams I wish could see this day
But without hope all meaning is lost
To sacrifice happiness is the cost
So tucked up and left inside
My hopes and dreams are left to die

Pushing On
Though life's often drear
Filled with pain and sorrow
Events oh so queer
Lost hope for tomorrow
Push through and rejoice
Forget your troubled past
The future is your choice
Don't let the pain last
Think of a new goal
Learn from what you've done
Your heart will turn to coal
If you forgive no one
Filled with pain and sorrow
Events oh so queer
Lost hope for tomorrow
Push through and rejoice
Forget your troubled past
The future is your choice
Don't let the pain last
Think of a new goal
Learn from what you've done
Your heart will turn to coal
If you forgive no one

Memory Lane
Let's take a look down memory lane
Most often times it's filled with pain
But this time it's a little off
So I beg you please do not scoff
A sense of eternal happiness
Sheer relief from pent up stress
I came out to see my friends
But talked to you in the end
I knew you'd be there and we'd meet
But never expecting such a greet
You ran over, my name you shout
I stood up and you lept out
Embracing deep, your face on mine
Complete and total loss of time
Grasping your body as it was hurled
Placing me on top of the world.

Jambalaya
Burning down the gullet
Pain intense and true
I considered cutting my mullet
Because my hair is turning blue
From this rice I've been inspired
From this tea I've found peace
And this sausage is on fire
Making me do a strip tease
So thank you for your time
That you spent while you sit
Reading these stupid rhymes
And putting up with this shit
Pain intense and true

Fear
Entombed
Trapped with no escape
It's like a panic at the disco
A trip with no return
Gripped
Completely enthralled
My legs seem to turn to stone
Forbidding my escape
Smothered
By this feel of dread
I'm conscious of what's going on
With no motivation to move
Fear
My one true addiction
It's presence can be felt anywhere
A rush of adrenaline
Insanity
The biggest fear for me
I slipped into it the other day
Afraid to come back
Retrieved
The pieces of my past
I slipped back into reality...

The Specimen
Lurking through the shadows
Sifting through my memories
Skipping through the meadows
Cutting out your ovaries
Pulled out firm and tight
Raise my blade into the air
Shining forth this dome of light
Bringing my pleasure to your despair
I swear I'm not a madman
Nor a specimen like Mr. Lecter
But this certain thrill demands
I do this to protect her
So I run to the shadows once more
Sifting through what's presumably reality
Deciphering the codes and the lores
Begging for this plea of insanity
Sifting through my memories
Skipping through the meadows
Cutting out your ovaries
Pulled out firm and tight
Raise my blade into the air
Shining forth this dome of light
Bringing my pleasure to your despair
I swear I'm not a madman
Nor a specimen like Mr. Lecter
But this certain thrill demands
I do this to protect her
So I run to the shadows once more
Sifting through what's presumably reality
Deciphering the codes and the lores

Self Destruction
Tripping over the carcass of life
I have given up the quest
Seeking to run away from strife
To find a place of rest
But slowly I travel further down
And I realize what I have done
I left a good man out to drown
And I can't even say I won
This part of me is like a demon
Dressed as the wolf amongst the flock
Destined to be the prodigal son
But will he come back or leave us shocked
I've thrown it all away
And for such a petty timeless reason
My life a game I shouldn't play
For I've committed the ultimate treason
I have given up the quest
Seeking to run away from strife
To find a place of rest
But slowly I travel further down
And I realize what I have done
I left a good man out to drown
And I can't even say I won
This part of me is like a demon
Dressed as the wolf amongst the flock
Destined to be the prodigal son
But will he come back or leave us shocked
I've thrown it all away
And for such a petty timeless reason
My life a game I shouldn't play
For I've committed the ultimate treason

Epitome of our Souls
Conceded and alone I travel
Sinking further down this road
Joining friends from past affairs
Engaging in this petty mode
But what do you think of what I've become
You've expressed your concern for me
But the same time won't open up
To show the inner workings of epitome
The concern runs both ways
Like water it flows to our open wounds
So open up and confess to me
So I understand and don't presume
I want to pick apart your brain
Like we did just months ago
To ponder and understand
To release our innards and make them...

Regrets and Forthcomings
Taken away by this holy gurney
Inspired and deprived
I trek on through this journey
Deserted and alive
We feel as one
We breathe as the many
Standing dumb
Entombed in self pity
The mistakes are of chance
Success... bitter luck
A welcoming stance
And the lack of a fuck
We pressed on and rejoiced
We held back and cried
My feelings voiced
While on death bed I lay
Inspired and deprived
I trek on through this journey
Deserted and alive
We feel as one
We breathe as the many
Standing dumb
Entombed in self pity
The mistakes are of chance
Success... bitter luck
A welcoming stance
And the lack of a fuck
We pressed on and rejoiced
We held back and cried
My feelings voiced

A Trip Taken To Soon
I took a trip through time
I traveled a foreign land
Into to the depths of my mind
Touched by blessed hand
And through this journey faced
The trials of lost life
In the halls we paced
Forcing through our strife
Endorphins released
Strained and abroad
This life deceased
No existence of god
The proof is gone
Much like my pain
The travel long
But the distance the same
And these doors unlocked
This journey through
A man...

No existence of god
The proof is gone
