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.
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

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...

As I Die
Oh, divine darkness
conquer me now
Banish all light
from my grave-robbed tomb of a long dead soul
Oh sky, sickened with greif
pale in all your glory
Bleed not tears unjust
for an unworthy soul basking in self-loathing
The moon bitter sweet
above yonder in its crescent slumber
Hung like the many ropes in gallows
haunting my sleep so sweetly kindly
Oh, restless waters drown me softly
and rinse away the filth of this life
Oceans of tears spill from the sky
Oh, why must you cry as I shyly die?
conquer me now

Hung like the many ropes in gallows

Forsaken
I lay stirring
Upon the trodden earth that held me there
Bastard trails fork and twist into the distance, I stare
Oblivion it seems was meant to be
The forest
Writhing and breathing surounds me
The sun far above gleaming
Now forever restless under contempt filled skies
Feel the motions of their madness as they call for my demise
Atrocities whispered on the wind
The dancing willows
Playfull in their meloncholy
Exude in me a mighty dread
Lost in the womb of destiny I dredge through sacred soil
...

The Place Where I Weep
I met you there
Upon those misty shores where the moon does glare
Thrice I have wept
As your spirit slept in vagrant woe where death is kept
This haunted eve
Of misery and memoirs to leave an aching of my soul to reave
I ponder there
At the aged grave of one so fair and under caloused skies I too do stare
Upon those misty shores where the moon does glare
Thrice I have wept
As your spirit slept in vagrant woe where death is kept
This haunted eve
Of misery and memoirs to leave an aching of my soul to reave
I ponder there
At the aged grave of one so fair and under caloused skies I too do stare

When She Fell
and when she fell
A supernova gleaming in the distance, peaking through the ages
Silent in the awe of her beauty
A giant smitten with the stars
Feuding with the passion of orgasmic flair
In crescendo she impales the sun
Silhouettes cast long lifetimes, flash frozen against the backdrop of ebon hue
Crematoria in ruin in the aftermath of the fall
Passion dying in the starlight
Comical innuendo
Written in moonlight, all for not in the sun’s despair
….and when she fell
I suffered scarlet...
A supernova gleaming in the distance, peaking through the ages
Silent in the awe of her beauty
A giant smitten with the stars
Feuding with the passion of orgasmic flair
In crescendo she impales the sun
Silhouettes cast long lifetimes, flash frozen against the backdrop of ebon hue
Crematoria in ruin in the aftermath of the fall
Passion dying in the starlight
Comical innuendo
Written in moonlight, all for not in the sun’s despair
….and when she fell

Immolation and Conversation
The light, it feeds off damnation
Darker proses always conveyed sordid truths
Out of suffering the page is filled
An empty promise has smote your tongue
Forked with injustice the shadows hiss deliverance
Anxious with calamity the skies collapse in heartache
Enter malice, almighty in her disconnect
An architec of a greater ruin
Forging mayhem from darkened souls
Silent slaughter under aged eyes
Broken I dispose of ego
A plummet of sublime divinations
Everlasting the cycles circle in turmoil
Revolving lies divide in...

Stained Fingers and Bloodied Fists
I reminisce over spilt spirits and half smoked cigarettes snuffed out in their prime like the many words that you held back over the years
Stained finger tips, rough to the touch
A bitter sweet serenade to our last days
The art of compromise never suited my palate, as harsh words roll off my tongue and lap at all the wounds you conceal under veiled laughter and bourbon kisses
Alone in the aftermath of shattered bottles and broken fists, I roll into a tremored rest and sweat out last nights escapades
A violent overture succumbed in hysterics

Of Shades and Hue
I count the shadows
A collector of grisailles
I paint the darkness

Ghosts of You
Smother you from my life
I take your soul and make it mine
Tommorow brings 'forget me nots' and better days
The more things change your memory rots all the same
Fleeing kisses retreat to darkness
Heaven forbid I greet your cheek with bloody fists
Hubris descends
Chaotic love doomed not to grow
I sever you like a rotten limb
Sheep lost its herd
You die alone
Remnants of you buried; gone
Deep in my mind and in the forest dark
Your heart I discard, rot in peace
But your lingering scent it haunts me still
I take your soul and make it mine
Tommorow brings 'forget me nots' and better days
The more things change your memory rots all the same
Fleeing kisses retreat to darkness
Heaven forbid I greet your cheek with bloody fists
Hubris descends
Chaotic love doomed not to grow
I sever you like a rotten limb
Sheep lost its herd
You die alone
Remnants of you buried; gone
Deep in my mind and in the forest dark
Your heart I discard, rot in peace
But your lingering scent it haunts me still

Conquering Dark
The roots of sorrow run deep in this cursed soil that is my soul and I bathe in the filth of it all only to ferment in my own decay
Wretched weeds writhe and crawl towards my long dead empty heart only to crudely cover it in the name of all lifes cruelty
The meadow that my soul once was now scorched by all my turmoil as the barren soil suffocates all the bliss that once lay there
All is dark in this cell I call my mind as all light fades out giving birth to shadow my thoughts surrender to the conquering dark
The beauty of life now lay in ruins...
Wretched weeds writhe and crawl towards my long dead empty heart only to crudely cover it in the name of all lifes cruelty
The meadow that my soul once was now scorched by all my turmoil as the barren soil suffocates all the bliss that once lay there
All is dark in this cell I call my mind as all light fades out giving birth to shadow my thoughts surrender to the conquering dark
The beauty of life now lay in ruins...
