POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
"I'm WORKIN' on it!"
NO POEM
Penetrating various variables of infinite parables
each separate section a cause for infection
of the inflection of perception before it's conception
the reflection of introspection is paused
for unneeded correction and pointless dissection
forever defending the impending unbending imminent ending

Crimson Shrine
What wisdom shines in crimson shrines
where what we seek lays gently set
like rubies formed from sweet forget
fashioned in the hollows of a rhyme.
What wisdom shines in crimson wine
where passion's born and often gleams
like sunset swept across a stream
it takes me through a formless dream
and flows into a crimson shrine
what wisdom shines my friend until the END.

THE PHOENIX
I was walking through the kingdom made
of every goal mankind had won
where everything which God forbade
gleamed vibrant in the evening sun
I saw during twilight's untold myth
a bird I'd never seen before
nor viewed on any man-made glyph
or heard from any ancient lore
This creature's undeciphered shape
made demons hide from beauty's form
and angels weep from fearing rape
of crystal thoughts now never born
An alien chime from this alien breed
had broken the rhyme. To hear it's singing;
no song sung from future's seed
nor was it ancient...

ROSE
A poison burns in broken churns
to put a Rose in spoken terms
with little bits of worthless wit
I fiddle with the words that fit
and so it phases me to sunder
certain phrases full of wonder
leaving only fragrant petals
floating as the warm wind settles
down upon the golden beach
now just within my reach
And so I simply take her hand
no words, we simply understand
I lead the way across the sand
towards the rocks beneath the shade
to watch the growing sunset fade
behind the glistening green horizon
which I can barely keep my eyes...

Autumn and the Fall
I'm craving the haze
my mind is making a feast of a distant pretty face
through all this time, still I find
her light elated, her light is here to stay
her light was everywhere, it feels like yesterday
No more....
BAAM!
empty scenes, the silence screams
in my head
deadly dreams and memory dies
down as
earthly angels fall like lies
before their lustful lullabies
ignore the blindness in the skies
its stolen from our sleeping eyes
falling down, I'm dying
yeah, and I know this dream forgot me
deeper down she's lying
yeah, and...

shadow doll
Fancy doll, dance and fall
and spin within a mating call
dance, deceive 'till we believe
the song behind the fading wall
persuade the fading masquerade
to never sever, play forever,
reinforce our fair endeavor
and shadow doll dance on

that day
This dark disease devours the hours,
tricks the life to never live
and moves with ease to tear down towers
built with all I had to give.
If giving flowers gave me powers
just to make me part of you
they are your's

and moves with ease to tear down towers

ETERNAL EXTERNAL X
Welcome to the end, my friend, I hope you found
something inside while you were alive.
You know you can't pretend that you'll survive,
not since you have died inside.
Pop your pretty pill and hope it makes you feel
until the feeling dies.
X out both your eyes and all outside,
ride the human tide.
Now empty your soul and slither back in your hole
you knew it never was forever and there never was a goal
As the curtain rises, uncertain sad surprises
and the play begins-
-Falling apart at the seams and it seems
nothing is real and I feel like...
something inside while you were alive.
You know you can't pretend that you'll survive,

you knew it never was forever and there never was a goal

Melpomene(muse of tragedy)
Flesh like spirit, soul of night,
skin as white as angels' flight,
dark hair like wings of some loved dream
that steals away within the night,
Upon her gaze I was enticed
to kiss the devil's sacrifice
and cursed that it was not yet time
to be with her in paridise,
and with each kiss I'm always cursed
to taste the very universe,
upon her tongue a song is sung
which never could describe the thirst.
Her lips, with which her throat like fire
whispers in my own desire,
where new life buds, my very blood
has stained the lips of that...

the train
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
freaks and phonies, creeps and cronies,
meet your demons, eat the coneys,
ride the women, ride the ponies,
ride...well...
someone stole our solar roller coaster,
the one on the poster on the fence
up at the entrance, but you can ride
our famous carrousel.
Then when you're done and had your fun,
your hoots and hollers, and if you dare,
for the fairly fair fare of a few measly dollars
you can buy a ticket from the chick
at the little stand over there.
then take my hand and...

world
The world whirled around and round,
through gracious space without a sound,
inlaid with several salty jewels,
and several lands inlaid with fools.
