POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hi, I'm Dave, I've been a poet (or try to be) since I was 14. This is only one of many of my outlets of stress, pain, hate, and self loathing. I'm always happy to meet new poets and read others work. Please, don't be shy :)

SPIRITUAL POEM

The Temple
What is it I'm so afraid of?
Why am I still standing still?
I've got to squeeze that trigger; make it happen
Execute my pride before me
Throw away all inhibitions
Cut the fetter that leaves me blinded
Cut away at all that makes me human
Leave myself with no desire
I'm digging deep within my temple
I found myself alone and hiding
What is this that I've been seeking?
And who am I to look away?
I must
I must
I must
I must
Destroy the temple
Burn my center
Rid myself of
Dusty skin and
Hold on
Hold on...
Why am I still standing still?
I've got to squeeze that trigger; make it happen
Execute my pride before me
Throw away all inhibitions
Cut the fetter that leaves me blinded
Cut away at all that makes me human
Leave myself with no desire
I'm digging deep within my temple
I found myself alone and hiding
What is this that I've been seeking?
And who am I to look away?
I must
I must
I must
I must
Destroy the temple
Burn my center
Rid myself of

Reflection (5/???)
You know, you're kind of a sicko. You have some perverse fascination with death. You often times try to play out the many ways you could die. You try to imagine the feeling of cold steel pressed tightly against your temple; how harsh the trigger feels on your finger. You imagine the pain of the bullet entering your skull and scrambling everything inside. You try to feel it forcing its way out of the other side and feeling your brain matter leaving you empty. In your final seconds you panic at the totality of what you've done.
Or maybe it's an accident. You imagine crossing the road...

Reflection (3/???)
You can lie to to yourself all you want but you can't fucking lie to me. After all, I'm the one opening up your eyes. Without me you'd probably still be all couped up in your shell, writing some pathetic poem or drawing a picture no one will care about. Then you'd probably jerk your self off and go to bed all alone. I'm the one that's going to give you everything. I'm the one that's here to fix what you fucked up.
I'm giving you life, now fucking act like it.
Before me you were nothing, yet trying so hard to be everything. It was cute how you wrote "music" and...

Reflection (2/???)
You always were pretty sad; face buried in your journal in hopes that someone would find you mysterious, and interesting, and would want to approach you; to talk to you. You thought that you mattered enough for people to actually give a shit about you. You were so innocent and naive then. You had dreams, fantasies, urges to talk to girls, make friends, but you never did. You were too afraid of rejection. That's when I was in my infancy. I was feeding off of everything you did or didn't do.
You're so lucky to have found me
There was a time before all of this, though. There was a...

Reflection (1/???)
I've been watching you for some time now, It just took you a while to notice me. I couldn't be the first to make a move, it was always up to you to find me.
I remember when you first opened your eyes. They were clouded with tears and you were so fearful. You had only just seen the light for a brief moment and already wanted so badly to run away. But, I held you there. I held you so tightly and refused to let you run away from it like you had run away from so many things in your past. You were such a coward. I was going to change that.
It was warm and damp outside when you first...

DRUGS POEM

Microbial Life Form
Floating
Formless
In warmth and tranquility
Silence
Eternal
Held here softly
I have no mouth
I have no eyes
I have no voice
I have no purpose here
I'm just floating
Bumping into
All of the other
Meaningless life forms
But
In having no meaning I find
Serenity
Calm
Peace
I think I had a dream
About something beyond our comprehension
Maybe something that held us before birth
Something just as blind as we are
Move in closer
I need to feel you ...
Formless
In warmth and tranquility
Silence
Eternal
Held here softly
I have no mouth
I have no eyes
I have no voice

Meaningless life forms
But
In having no meaning I find
Serenity
