POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm inspired by my struggles, hopes, and dreams to share words with others.
Dread
Entering the tunnel of knowledge,
Thoughts spread like wildfire.
It's coming on again, the fleeting truth.
The irresistible temptation for change
Remember death, she says.
It is the moving force, the fuel
For the fire that rages inside of me
And yet it doesn't burn
I don't feel the heat
I feel the void in its place
Desperately try to fill it,
Or embrace it, spiraling into madness.
Does it ever end?
Thoughts spread like wildfire.

For the fire that rages inside of me
And yet it doesn't burn
I don't feel the heat
I feel the void in its place
Desperately try to fill it,
Or embrace it, spiraling into madness.
Does it ever end?

The Chase
Zebra walks around,
Doesn't even know.
Hiding in the bushes,
Waiting to be shown.
A nocturnal animal,
Came from outer space.
Jumps out from it's hiding,
Starts a deadly race.
Who is to decide,
Who lives and who dies,
It's the law of nature.
Someone in the skies.
Doesn't even know.
Hiding in the bushes,
Waiting to be shown.
A nocturnal animal,
Came from outer space.
Jumps out from it's hiding,
Starts a deadly race.
Who is to decide,
Who lives and who dies,
It's the law of nature.
Someone in the skies.

Unknown
Wandering by the docks,
Heavy waves on razor rocks.
And yet if you look far,
By the water crimson scar.
The sky is dark as it foretold,
Tied down I behold.
As the crimson scar runs red,
"God please help me" i have pled.
A wheel of time.
The existence of God.
A thread connecting beating hearts of men.
An otherworldly perversion.
I stand as my eyes bleed.
My soul burns in unholy fire,
I return to ashes, undone.
Heavy waves on razor rocks.
And yet if you look far,
By the water crimson scar.
The sky is dark as it foretold,
Tied down I behold.
As the crimson scar runs red,
"God please help me" i have pled.
A wheel of time.
The existence of God.
A thread connecting beating hearts of men.
An otherworldly perversion.
I stand as my eyes bleed.
My soul burns in unholy fire,
I return to ashes, undone.

Waking up
Waking from a somber sleep,
This life isn't mine to keep.
Cutting down the blood will flow,
Nobody will ever know.
This life isn't mine to keep.
Cutting down the blood will flow,
Nobody will ever know.
