POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been writing poetry every since I could write. It's a passion, a love, and a joy. For me it's easier to express things with poetry than with spoken words.
World of Illusions
Would you like to see one of my many illusions?
Some demented and gloomy
Come on; Come see my delusions…..
They might freak you out….
They could leave you in delight.
Some might make you scream and shout.
Others might just leave you in a pitch black night.
Oh! Step into my office…
It’s the last door in my mind.
We’ll talk about it all.
My sanity I can try to find….
Come, come! See one of my many fantasies.
They’re back through there,
But please don’t scream.
Horrors of sorts;
Lycanthropes and vampires.
Pleasant dreams….
Drift...

View of the World
Sitting here sipping on steaming coffee.
Restaurant blurred with busy feet.
Masses of consumers standing in uproar.
Malls packed and bodies let off heat.
Compressing facts in little brains.
Noises, glances, affirmation of chaos.
Dozens of eagles flying; advancing.
Looking, seeking, freedoms cast never shines.
Grind up the beans and stew the tea.
Rivers flow up stream with salmon.
The Aurora Borealis of lights show off love.
Dancing ballerinas projecting dreams.
Train station; enter and take a seat.
Listen to the jumble of screaming kids....

Torn
You took my heart
And hung it on the
Post of lost dignity.
Warped visions gone amuck.
Mixing love and insanity.
You took my soul
And strung it out on
The fence of lost hope.
Wrapped in shadows of forbidden desires.
Minds no longer cope,
With death’s fires.
You took me
And rung me out on the
Scalpel of life.
Scraped love like scars of an old scorn.
Echoing a lonely song from the mantis’ wife.
Singing the song of being torn.

Ashes of an Ancient Battle Part 3
The mournful tune cries out to me.
It beckons my soul into a trance.
I follow without knowing where it'll end.
It seems as though I'm in a dream;
Floating above the whispers of other mortals.
Finally I come to a halt in front of a great war.
Why am I here at this unyielding scene?
These creatures fighting for something unknown to me.
A hand reaches out from the depths of time;
It gently transfers all I need to know.
I determine who will win this ancient war.
The vampires or the lycans but who do I choose.
Centuries formed around blood lust....

Ashes of an Ancient Battle Part 2
The smell of death dances on the wind.
A scent of rancid flesh and blood mix into the ashes.
Our war forges on without hesitation,
And we are the shadows of humans faded glory.
The smell of death runs wild,
And within our sanctuary we wait for the opportunity to strike.
The battle was won with dignity,
But the war will stop the uncontrollable blood lust.
The fallen are bait that the lycans take.
As fast as a blink of an eye but we are faster.
They deceive and fool these mortal men;
No! They are not your protectors.

Ashes of an Ancient Battle
The tides of fallen snow whisper of death to come.
An ancient battle of then and now.
The long ago passes through the future in pain.
The water drips their sorrowful tune.
Decades of war and hostility forge with unrighteousness.
Deep in the mist hides the secret of the end.
A mighty battle that's lasted,
But only by the ashes that remain.
The snow turns red under blood of hate.
An ancient battle of then and now...
Drops of dust from whispered death.
Only shadows but powerful as the night;
We will be victorious in the end.
The vampires won...

Before the Burn
Falling down out of sight.
Disappearing into the night.
Nightmares once again.
Scorpions sting mixed in.
Memories shattered on the floor.
Hearts entranced; finally tore.
Bitter words chewed like gum.
People always wanting some.
Fragments of sanity fell off the wall.
Covered in demises fall.
Forbidden lust takes its reign.
Shoving you into pain.
Once again left broken.
Spewing words finally spoken.
The moons beauty unveils the key.
Glancing at life’s misery.
Floating like dust in the wind.
Forgetting the suns ascend....

Raven Call
Raven speak of dark and dreary night.
Wrapped in feathers of your fright.
Orange moon of Saturn's beauty.
Depressed thoughts of reality.
Whispering raven of my demise.
Sitting steady voice of lies.
Crimson drops of satins last kiss.
Mixed with Sirens forbidden abyss.
Swirls of black sin,
Creeping obsessions under skin.
Sending gallows of ravens breath.
Glowing anticipation of witches Macbeth.
Soft touches of glistening pelt.
Dancing black birds of ribbons felt.
Dying souls of beings lost.
Simple pleasures of murderous cost.

My Oasis
You are my oasis.
My love in the night.
Embracing me in your arms like passions kiss;
Holding me tight.
You take away my breath,
And envelope my soul in whispering caress.
You seek me like a junkie seeks meth;
For secrets you had to confess.
You are my paradise.
Showering darkness over me.
The black rain I can suffice;
With your intoxicating fantasy.
You take away the feelings of inconsistent hate,
And shroud my life in blossoming beauty.
You close in on me to create;
An angelic vampire melody.
You are my...

My Forbidden Cage
Why have you put me here?
Am I really that insane?
You must have put me in this place out of fear,
But I’m the one that suffers all the pain!
My arms and legs are bound.
Did you think I’d try to escape?
What’s that awful sound?
Screams of manic shape!
A padded room; nice and soft.
Alone like always.
The way I like it!
I’ve be here for many days.
I just sit; sit and wait.
Dragging me to shock therapy.
Finally they sedate;
Inner being filled in memory.
I’ve been locked up and forgotten.
Tossed out…
And...

Look At Me
Look at me;
Don’t turn away.
Don’t turn in shame…
Beauty is only skin deep;
Under that we all look the same.
Please look at me;
I’m only human!
Do you not like what you see?
For that’s what I’m acumen.
Just look!
Look at me;
Face to face.
Don’t turn me away,
Because I’m a disgrace.
Please look!
Look at me;
Don’t turn away!
Am I really that ugly;
That you can’t face me today?
Just look!
You’ve left me bare.
For my soul you didn’t care.
Look at me;
Don’t turn away.
Don’t you see?...
Don’t turn away.
Don’t turn in shame…

Cinderella
And they lived happily ever after...
But what really happened to Cinderella?
What could have happened to her and her fella?
Well let me tell you all,
And please don't bawl!
They decided to settle down and raise a family,
But the Prince didn't realize how much of a bitch she was.
They had ten children that drove them to insanity.
Finally the prince had enough of Cinderella's nagging,
So he filed for divorce.
Then he found a hottie and started bragging,
Cinderella called on her fairy godmother of course,
And that's when all hell broke loose....
