POEMS AND SHORT STORIES

I will you to call
Shatter my silence
Stirring up commotion
As I lay along the smoke lined
Grasses of my loneliness.
To fill a void,
The noise from your crooked heart
Sour, sweet, sullen song
Inside me
Filling me, to grow
Fertilized, blood, sweat, tears.
Exploding bombs,
Burst into words,
Letters scrabble,
Then shrapnel
As they sow themselves
Into my blooming abyss
All the while, I hold my gaze.
Shatter my silence
Stirring up commotion
As I lay along the smoke lined
Grasses of my loneliness.
To fill a void,
The noise from your crooked heart
Sour, sweet, sullen song
Inside me
Filling me, to grow
Fertilized, blood, sweat, tears.
Exploding bombs,
Burst into words,
Letters scrabble,
Then shrapnel
As they sow themselves
Into my blooming abyss
All the while, I hold my gaze.

Hell
With eyes so high
Peer clear into the holes of all your lies
Big black pupils,
That can describe
Fragments of feelings
That are floating as I sleep
There's nothing more to say,
But you claim
These are my dreams
So I lie in a slumber
Of this sugar coated soot
Smear the ash across my face
For a burned out, pale look of a ghost
That once haunt me
And taught me oh so well
Lured me with bait
Straight down
Into the flames of hell
I crawled through the razors
And got blood upon my hands
As it absorbed...

Figure things out
Packing up my bags
heading out west for some change
leave nothing in the rearview,
except an old life
as the sun bakes down on my bucket of shame,
and I can't help feeling like i've been left out in the cold
leave it all behind,
all the worries and the doubt
I'm setting sail, baby yeah
gonna figure things out
Foreheads resting gently in the palms of my hands
to tired to try and fight it,
to scared to let it win
force a subtle smile, this will all come to pass
make it look believable
with your pretty painted mask...

Asylum
Sitting here wasting
just doing time
wondering what I'm gonna do with this life
Pacing to the wall and back
tugging at this straight jacket
gonna cut out my heart
with a sound studded knife
gonna lay it on the floor
gonna pierce my soul
I'm gonna defile my being
to a tempo set slow
i'm gonna map my escape
in every measure, every break
until I sound off my six steel string.
and let the music set me free
Let the music set me free
Breaking my guitar
up against four closing walls
now i've silenced my six steel...

Whimsical Reality
I refuse to be hog washed in her shadows
speculating an assertive gesture that you will follow
if only, for her love (she's the one)
miles weighed heavy on your duty to me
emotionalism was all I could provide
You, being the attention whore you are
exploited boundaries as you sought more than a one woman offering
desperate for it all, from every corner of the earth
you will flip every rock, sift every grain
to feed this useless desire
burn bridges at any toll ...
