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.
'Healing One'
A world of play
We ride horses and fight pirates
"Princess Echa to the rescue!"
Sword fights and prison time
Im often jailed for silliness
She's fiercily sweet and sweetly fierce
Three summers shes reigned her kingdom
Whispered secrets oft let slip
Within her iris the truths of life
"Baba can you play with me?"
Mischevious
Her smile fills the world
Echa
'Healing One'
Wrapped in hugs and sloppy kisses
Crocodile tears
Smiles come soon after
I fold to puppy eyes
She tells stories just like me
A...

Mismatched By Suicide
Suicide never suited her embrace
Scars so pretty and souls too petty
Bring about her dark demise
Forlorn am I, I hide disguised
Intertwined within her suicide
The shadow of yesterday dredges on
Frailty becomes me
In mourning I kiss the skies
Hoping that is where she lies
Colliding with fate where my love dies
Scars so pretty and souls too petty
Bring about her dark demise
Forlorn am I, I hide disguised
Intertwined within her suicide
The shadow of yesterday dredges on
Frailty becomes me
In mourning I kiss the skies
Hoping that is where she lies
Colliding with fate where my love dies

Awash In Ruin
I watch the world fall away
Dreadfull stars fill their dismay
Breaching voids of a darker martyr
The shimmer of a dying day
I gift of woe for the souls I barter
And a trail far flung ever farther
A distortion to plague the skies
Awash with greif and mournful cries
Blessed amidst a thousand sorrows
The truth bleeds red as it dies
Sands trapt in glass and no tommorows
Fate to subside as death it borrows
Dreadfull stars fill their dismay
Breaching voids of a darker martyr
The shimmer of a dying day
I gift of woe for the souls I barter
And a trail far flung ever farther
A distortion to plague the skies
Awash with greif and mournful cries
Blessed amidst a thousand sorrows
The truth bleeds red as it dies
Sands trapt in glass and no tommorows
Fate to subside as death it borrows

Floating Islands and I the Storm
I decipher lonely clouds
Islands scuffing up the sky
Dragging with them heavy woe
Yet still they wander to and fro
Avarice for belonging, grey in sadness
I too, stalk unburdened skies
Befriend not the lowly one
They runaway in their apathy
Realization invokes in me a brutal storm
Defiled I lament in hiding
Eyes fixed upon the heavens
Silent revelries I whisper in the dark
Shamed I transcend to nothing
Forever scorning the floating giants
An island I too have become
Death donned me wings
And as I too float...
Islands scuffing up the sky
Dragging with them heavy woe
Yet still they wander to and fro
Avarice for belonging, grey in sadness
I too, stalk unburdened skies
Befriend not the lowly one
They runaway in their apathy
Realization invokes in me a brutal storm
Defiled I lament in hiding
Eyes fixed upon the heavens
Silent revelries I whisper in the dark
Shamed I transcend to nothing
Forever scorning the floating giants
An island I too have become
Death donned me wings
And as I too float...

One With December
Lifeless on the frozen ground
Frost stars precious skin
Condemning her to a colder hell
Snow blankets her there
One with December
Amongst the pines that guard her
I stalk lonely shadows
Awaiting the thaw
I long for spring
Rebirth of seasons
Life full circle
and Her cold stare to greet me there
Frost stars precious skin
Condemning her to a colder hell
Snow blankets her there
One with December
Amongst the pines that guard her
I stalk lonely shadows
Awaiting the thaw
I long for spring
Rebirth of seasons
Life full circle
and Her cold stare to greet me there

As I Unravel
Pulling strings always seemed so dull
Until the seams gave way and unfurled woe onto the world
A new tomorrow bitter in its frailty gives way to absence
Darkness absorbs the sun
Vanguard silhouettes slowly caress all in noir
Seeping from my cracked soul
Rancid with disdain my disorder spawns and multiplies
A wave of offerings hinder not the reaping
Wreathed in remains the spectre walks alone
Absolution in devastation, haggard with lamenting
Worn out fingers grasp strings with apprehension
A new world ripe with shadows
...

Reflections In Fugue
In fugue I glimpse a view that only sleepy eyes could see, I watch in fear as a thousand waves begin to wash all over me
Drowning in my malcontent I long to be set free, to escape the wrath of oceans great and all lifes blasphemy
Awakened I stroll on the beaches of my misery, lamenting all that I know of woe's mystery
A leap of faith from a cliff with urgence I do flee, and leave this sordid dream and make it long dead history
Drowning in my malcontent I long to be set free, to escape the wrath of oceans great and all lifes blasphemy
Awakened I stroll on the beaches of my misery, lamenting all that I know of woe's mystery
A leap of faith from a cliff with urgence I do flee, and leave this sordid dream and make it long dead history

Into Shadow
Odd sensations wash over me
Cure not the sickness for all is numb
A drop of poison for the trouble
Feed the need
Feed the need and all is well
Worthlessness devolves into nothing
"You were always better broken"
Whispers on the wind have always haunted me
Leading astray to barren paths
No footprints to guide me out
"Where were you in my torment?"
Pleas always fall upon deaf ears
Yet forked tongues rant constant
Ascend the ashes
Pipe dreams oft offer differing realities
Serve...

Below the Bluffs
Oh how I longed for your silent beauty
Though your mountains were to far for me to conquer
The persuading darkness always took me in
A welcomed embrace from the light of stranger days
Far off horizons met me at the apex
Where the shunning stars blessed time away
Your many bluffs seldom suffered
For I was alone, thrown from the cut
Though your mountains were to far for me to conquer
The persuading darkness always took me in
A welcomed embrace from the light of stranger days
Far off horizons met me at the apex
Where the shunning stars blessed time away
Your many bluffs seldom suffered
For I was alone, thrown from the cut

Out of Darkness
Beset by darkness
The mushroom sprouts in shadows
Defiance in bloom
The mushroom sprouts in shadows
Defiance in bloom

With The Dead I Ponder
Rogue shadows stalk me freely as I pace in eerie places few have come to know
Footsteps echo eternal darkness as I roam through grave sites where the dead still stroll
Crows in murder soar high above, upon cemetary winds better suited for Death's flight
As forgotten lost souls whisper words of comfort for those whom remain still plagued by woe
Perfect darkness brought forth by dusk leaves me alone to ponder of what beauty ever was
The moon forlorn, crescent in its depravity seduces my soul to further wallow in self loathing
Amongst the many...
