POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm an old soul traveling the world again trying to find my muse.
The what and the why
Consider this a question,
A query of sorts,
Why did some significant power make my fetal head burst forth?
My life has been repeated over and over again.
I've seen the depths of hell,
And the outer edges of heaven.
Like a lost shadow with no mass to follow,
I'm hung out to dry in the mouths of the absu
With deafened ears but a mind that screams out all my restless soul has defiled.
I'm tired of hiding,
So many years have passed,
Since I first welcomed the twisted face daemon of my past.
In a bed colder then a freezer,...

Tomorrow
What is tomorrow but today in reverse,
The same old circumstances, just getting worse.
Worn out tragedy, copied and repeated again.
The same old fallacies relived over and over again.
Until......
One day you realize that something lurks,
Behind the shadows and all the dreams and thoughts you were,
Many evenings I wake up with tears on my face,
Other nights their voices scare all emotion away.....
Laying in my bed, I watch the shadow people emerge,
They dance across the walls and many times do worse,
They'll sit on your chest shaking their...

Here come the voices
The voices started tonight,
From behind the closet, in the darkest light......
As I laid there and I begged with fright,
Please lord let me keep my soul tonight.
Slowly echoing across the empty air,
I could hear his growls and gut wrenching sneers,
Trapped in bed I watched him emerge,
No hooves or tails nothing from bibles or fairy tales,
An endless snake with arms and hands and teeth to tear,
A grotesque smile glimmering in the moon light,
One eye peering and checking the sights,
Slowly creaking open I could see it there,
A...

Last night
Last night was a repeat.....
I woke at 3 and laid lost in thought about the hideous dreams I had
Somewhere behind my door I could hear shuffling
Creaking floors and then a growl....
I don't know what's coming but I pretended it was just my imagination and took a couple shots and chased them with a Xanax
Quickly my headlights dimmed to a empty stair,
The door creaked but I couldn't move,
Thru the crack that appeared a dark shadow moved,
Around the room it walked and finally it sat upon my chest
I couldn't make out its face but I couldn't breath as his...

Lost
Beyond my dreams it stirs
Shadows just out of sight circling
My soul forever cursed
Words stuttered and mispronounced lingering still in the air
The liers-in-wait slowly closing in
Like a bolt of lightning
I feel it take it's grasp
A scream filling my brain
But all I can hear is a laugh
The horizon bleeding
Black clouds and cold air
My breath beginning to freeze as it exits my mouth
The circle on the ground broken by stumbling feet
The alter on fire and spilled between
Me and the gates inscription the world dimming...

My breath beginning to freeze as it exits my mouth

Wishing Well
Wishing Well you betrayed me
All those quarters
Yet no answered dreams
In this moment I now understand
Instead of a quarter
I just dove straight in
100 feet maybe more
Broken spine now lying on a dirt floor
Drips of water run across my face
Coughing blood is all I taste
Coins fall in every now and then
I hear their words as they pretend
Everything is going to be Ok
Little do they know it'll never change
The blood starts to pool
My breathes are shallowing
As the darkness settles in
Thank you Wishing Well for...

Journal Entries I Don't remember Writing v.1
Below your thoughts I wait in silence as I inflict defiance
Each tear or thought, I sample and taste, soon your soul, I'll come to lay to waste!
............................................................
Soon I'll devour you and leave behind only your regret,
Soon smiling will be lying but you just keep on trying
Keep smiling
Keep lying
Keep trying to forget that this is as good as I''ll ever let it get
While you sleep
I count your breathes
Into your dreams I whisper my wish
Your undeniable servitude until your soul is extinguished...
