Poet Introduction
Been writing poetry since my teens. I just write what I feel. Poems are usually on the darker side.

The Gift of Ruin
breaker of wills
gifter of pain
shallow whims and beauty
distained
silence and not
suffering truth
a parade of lies
broken in two

Reborn
Humbled again,
As Death stands at the door
Flutterings of long lost souls
Haunting me again
Ten fold
Holding onto darker strings
Pulling at the lesser things
Hiding from the maker
Of all these horrid dreams
Peace abandons me
Again
Damaged gods beset my ruin
Of darker and colder souls
Begrudged I am but none
Better left alone in rue
Unable to falter through
These shadows transform the life
Of a devastated wretch
No longer to crawl and kneel
Amongst the filth of older...
As Death stands at the door
Flutterings of long lost souls
Haunting me again
Ten fold
Holding onto darker strings
Pulling at the lesser things
Hiding from the maker
Of all these horrid dreams
Peace abandons me
Again
Damaged gods beset my ruin
Of darker and colder souls
Begrudged I am but none
Better left alone in rue
Unable to falter through
These shadows transform the life
Of a devastated wretch
No longer to crawl and kneel
Amongst the filth of older...

Beholder of Ruin and Other Beauties
Desolate and lowly
Darkness take me slow
Below the writhing rivers flowing
Greif on down
Torn and beset by drowning
A gloomy day of sweet nothingness
Desperation but a broken kiss
Upon the lips of forgotten gods
Skyward hand to trace palatial veils
A vast ovation of creations woe
Tears fall down as all life fails
A bitter ruin of constellations
Facade and mercy
Gifts of another treason
Mark the season tallied over
One from three and two forlorn
December's end begins again
Behold the silence ...
Darkness take me slow
Below the writhing rivers flowing
Greif on down
Torn and beset by drowning
A gloomy day of sweet nothingness
Desperation but a broken kiss
Upon the lips of forgotten gods
Skyward hand to trace palatial veils
A vast ovation of creations woe
Tears fall down as all life fails
A bitter ruin of constellations
Facade and mercy
Gifts of another treason
Mark the season tallied over
One from three and two forlorn
December's end begins again
Behold the silence ...

Breaking Silence of the Void
Suicide
Not unlike silence
Ever haunting from the void
The throes of self deprication
Better suited for one so low
I opt for chaos and disillusion
The rank and file of a darker hell
Forever fitting
The gift of madness
Everlasting
Death it seems eager to allow
Safe passage for this wretch
And end this silence that is forever daunting
Not unlike silence
Ever haunting from the void
The throes of self deprication
Better suited for one so low
I opt for chaos and disillusion
The rank and file of a darker hell
Forever fitting
The gift of madness
Everlasting
Death it seems eager to allow
Safe passage for this wretch
And end this silence that is forever daunting

Gifts Left Wasted
Gin soaked and parabolic
The moon by nature Divine
The hallowed husk of damnation's toil
What treachery befalls me?
Embryonic of a still born heart
The price of infamy untold
Better bartered for a gift of solace
And still the moon to smite my soul
The moon by nature Divine
The hallowed husk of damnation's toil
What treachery befalls me?
Embryonic of a still born heart
The price of infamy untold
Better bartered for a gift of solace
And still the moon to smite my soul

Between Two Giants The Artist Finds His Muse
The valley in-between
There lies a perfect corpse
Two giants intervene
In this painting out of sorts
The sky, saddened she rains
Tears of empathetic woe
Upon the granite pains
In the glen and dales below
She lay there still asleep
Under the giants futile gaze
In the mountains death does keep
Her torment and malaise
Darkness does take form
From his artist hand and bloom
The fury of her storm
Upon the brush and palette of doom
There lies a perfect corpse
Two giants intervene
In this painting out of sorts
The sky, saddened she rains
Tears of empathetic woe
Upon the granite pains
In the glen and dales below
She lay there still asleep
Under the giants futile gaze
In the mountains death does keep
Her torment and malaise
Darkness does take form
From his artist hand and bloom
The fury of her storm
Upon the brush and palette of doom

Floating Wonders
Have you ever heard such wonder?
A quartet of elephants atop a roving turtle
The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

Memoirs
She had a long memory
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life

The Suffering Of Prometheus
Fire, begotten and adored
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might

The Beauty of Divinity Abhored
From the point of envy to that of your death
A jealous God betrays your many divinations
Stray clouds to burden the otherwise pretty skies
A darkness of wrath and oblivion
Whispered under a foreign horizon
Too pretty
Too petty
A fermentation of grace besets the greater good
A sacrifice of pride and rue
Violence adorned the crown that made you
That wailing star that lit all your beauty aflame
Long since left to ash and cinders
A kiss to appease the sordid fallacies of those left ill tempered ...

He With Whom the Shadows Linger
A prophet of many sunsets
Great Old One of forgotten ages
He who speaks with an ancient tongue
Offerings onto him left wanting
Upon the obelisk of decaying stone
His name in runes beset the stars above
Forsaken constellations not glanced for eons
A tomb of knowledge lost to time and space
Death but a respite for toiling souls
As his presence beckons forth a long night
Calamity and suffering for those encroaching his holy door
The embodiment of shadow welcomes forth a dying sun
"All else lost in translation as the...
