POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Been writing poetry since my teens. I just write what I feel. Poems are usually on the darker side.
Undivine
I was a God once
Beautiful suffering
Had shyly crowned me
Beautiful suffering
Had shyly crowned me

Espionage and the Fly
I saw a fly upon the wall
I ripped off his wings and ate them all
One eye of many for him to pry
At my secrets I keep so sly
And as would I so deftly ply espionage as he the fly
Upon the walls where secrets fall
By twos and threes I kill them all
I ripped off his wings and ate them all
One eye of many for him to pry
At my secrets I keep so sly
And as would I so deftly ply espionage as he the fly
Upon the walls where secrets fall
By twos and threes I kill them all

The Tragedy of a Maiden Fair
She would take me in
In home, in spirit, and in her mouth
She was mine
Mine to break and forsake
Vows and promises alike
She was mine
For a time
Her eyes could tell no lies
A deep sorrow for me to treasure
A sorrow for me to love
For tomorows wasted on a hangover
And the two of us succumbed to darker whims and fancy
She gave me all and I tore it down
She took me in and spat my cum
An angel from a darker place
We were always better broken
She...was always better
Her smile could slay the...

For tomorows wasted on a hangover

He Whom Walks With the Dead
Hark! The silence no more
Breaking under an omens kiss
Behold, the devils at my door
The spells of heaven long since amiss
Strangers beset of fate and lore
Whittled from an ancient bone
A court is held upon the shore
And with this curse I lift the stone
As symmetry and sunset lingers
The knell of death to come tolling
Crooked and outstretched fingers
Beckon the guest to come strolling
Ever after and through this age
His shadow centers on the mound
The robes of deities clothe this Sage

Into the Pit that I Adore
In the silence of night
I discard the dark
Shadows forever weeping
As I wretch my self deeper
A keeper of things long deplored
For I am restless longing for sight
Too dark are the stirrings of my musings
The light seldom visits me here, in the pit of my deliverance
I have bartered more for less
A Faustien scheme even he would be jealous of
In the fugue of tomorrow
I have bore witness to better days
To better ways to kill a cat
The sermon of a sour sacrifice
Holy begotten to my blunder
And still I...

A Bolero of Failure
Suffering through the reveries of another unkempt day
The melodies of yesterday still dig at my ears
Worming deep tunnels into darker pageants of prose and refrains
Words fall onto the yellowed pages of my soul
Often bothersome with the rhythms of just out of tune chords
The folly of the careless orchestra suffers me greatly
The tempo of time so unfairly in sync counting down forever to an awing crescendo of my darkest passions
Fleeting words as ghost notes betray my hands, echoing my minds torment
Lost in the after...

Under Darkness I Transform
I see a bear
Over there in the distance
Under clouds of grey dismay, he walks this way
Brown with the fury of generations
Fur to cascade my soul with his
Beset by medicines far too ancient
Sage and sweet grass and secret things
Offerings of berries and tobacco to sing
A blackout of mist and smoke under the bending willows
Enchantments to ease the bear walker
From realms unseen
Far-flung from memories
I hear his roar upon the breeze
I can't breathe
Give me the light
...

Memoirs of Ruin
I used to drink my happiness one bottle at a time
Years of soothing a darker pain has only brought on more anguish
I see silhouettes everywhere
Pieces of me left here and there
I die a little everyday with a smile to persuade the stain
That markes my soul with the stench of death
I have drank away oceans of pain
Only to drown in my own incompetence
The death bed to greet me warm
I force another drink as I shy away and say goodbye
Years of soothing a darker pain has only brought on more anguish
I see silhouettes everywhere
Pieces of me left here and there
I die a little everyday with a smile to persuade the stain
That markes my soul with the stench of death
I have drank away oceans of pain
Only to drown in my own incompetence
The death bed to greet me warm
I force another drink as I shy away and say goodbye

The Promise of Ruin
Forever and a day, damnation looms near
Courting dark circles enticing their fear
Aeons impart wisdoms long lost
The gathering storm demands too high a cost
Once begotten the thorns be worn
A tribe of prophets forever born
To guide the fate weighted by this hand
And eternal suffer by this command
Light feathered on through pierced armors distain
A stiletto long promised gifted in pain
Holding court over a usurpers dawn
The skies broke in wonder as fires raged on
Palaces fall as hosts to their knees
The winds...

Musings of a Bitter Man 4
I stare into the the light refracting in step with chaos, glass walls such a pretty prison
My eyes watching the last drop of gin change colors in the twilight of another holy hangover
Dark circles encroach my eyes and darker cycles haunt my life
The path of least resistance always led me to the verge of ruin
Eat. Fuck. Sleep.
Drink. Fuck. Sleep.
In my times of darkness I never was alone
Shadows linger to my person and the voice of ruin always greets my liver warm
Scarred tissues and souls
Glass and whores
Empty...

Faraway Stare
The death shade of other worlds fell heavy on her soul
Bewitchment enlightened by fugue benighted under the storms mighty toll
An architect of suffering to ensnare
The light heartedness of the maiden’s despair
Down twisted trails of earth over trodden with this ages grief
Her gait never falters for missteps be damned
She must suffer no longer their furies
The dead of night whispers dark litanies for
Her beauty to christen their gaze
Beneath the tall trees that encircle her there
The dawn breaks through with a sordid light ...

The Damned Below
Of petals and thorns and skies of ebon hue
Over the moon forlorn and all the heavens too
A silence so heavy leaves all the world subdued
Fluster forth the weary wings of devastation
In the falls of man, she reckons his demise
A pitty we nestled there in the ruin of his hand
The granite behemoth rests well in bondage
As the ants below build palaces of woe
Over the moon forlorn and all the heavens too
A silence so heavy leaves all the world subdued
Fluster forth the weary wings of devastation
In the falls of man, she reckons his demise
A pitty we nestled there in the ruin of his hand
The granite behemoth rests well in bondage
As the ants below build palaces of woe
