POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my ink comes from the heart and sometimes a dark mind
The Heavy Hitters
the heavy hitters put down their bats one day
and walked off the field
too disgusted to even look back
the place wasn't as they remembered
no one saw me cry when they left
no one that mattered
Cruel was as his name
he would rip into you
and then ask let me squeeze you
in the next moment
Hemi is still here but he is silent these days
perhaps a revolt will come
I know he's ready should it be
though I know he'll hate me for saying so
Craic is a dear...

Unholy Revival
dirty, dirty communications open
you wanted me awake let's play
feed the bloated scum more depleted lies
hollow from the inside words of no value
the highest in the hierarchy sit it in the pews
have they become so self-deceived
as to believe the part they play in fooling humanity?
a Raphium Christ who are you kidding
or are we just making up rules as we go along?
bring your lecherous, bring your depraved
what do we need forgiveness for
being right?
extermination in progress at the highest levels ...

tomorrow's promise
today was optimistic
she saw yesterday standing close
but she didn't let her bad mood bother
tomorrow was promised as her betrothed
he was handsome and exciting
a man of the world with a great vision
he said they would have a mansion someday
with so many rooms she would lose herself
tomorrow spoke of fractured yesterday
he said he could heal even the broken
today was angry
she wanted to leave her behind
the great future was ahead of her
she was anxious to greet him
she didn't want yesterday to ruin the...

nature's paintbrush
my sadness washes over me in shades of blue
the sapphire of pain
an aquamarine of grief
and the sea blue of melancholy
I dip my paintbrush in the waters
that make up my soul's ocean
and I create flowery hillsides
that go on for miles
with hidden smiles,
they know they're here to decorate sorrow
some of the deepest shades
of red and yellow grow here
they are called into being
to cheer me with their upturned faces
searching for a brighter tomorrow
eyes...

the ancient arts
the dawn echoed pain
within the silent mists of hurt
I mirrored her
and drummed back my quiet hello
as she rose on the forlorn
lighting the skies blue
a melancholy shade that matched her mood
she peered inside the fog
to get a closer look at me
I mystified her, knowing her ancient language
she thought herself alone
with gentle rays she broke up the gloom
and whispered
"rise with me and survey the world
then tell me...

a demon's song
my heart calls back my anger
but it has a mind of its own
once it's loosed it has life
it won't be gagged or kept back
with teeth that are razor sharp
my demons ride the night
reveling in their freedom from me
I bite their tongues and hold back their bile
but they feel all that I do
when I get hurt they jump to the front
most of you don't know
I'm known as the devil's woman
my demons were once in control of me
I didn't write at all because they spoke for me
don't get me wrong they are not all evil...

thoughts from a switchblade
I'm angry so I'll let loose in a poem
there's something wrong
my demons whisper it's gossip
or am I just paranoid?
I have refused them entry to my heart
carrying this burden alone
denying any problem
lest they get under my skin
I'm trying to wait it out
hoping things will pass
but things seem to be getting worse
it could be people are just sick of me
I don't blame you
I'm bad-ass with a pen
when my feelings are hurt
my tongue becomes a switchblade
cutting to the bone
with one quick movement...

glow stick
my sadness stems from a truth
it's unlikely I will be able to change
I'm afraid I am sleepwalking
and will awaken a moment too late
when you say goodbye for the last time
my world will come crashing in on me
you're sick of my shit you told me so
and still, I can't get it together
what's wrong with my heart does it long to be
broken into a million pieces with no hope of being put back together?
what hurts worst
is that you think it's because I don't love you
you have given me so much time to get it straight ...
