POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
my poems are my dark emotions brought to life.would not be able to write if my soul wasnt darkly.
For my sister
Tomorrow
I'll try to understand her
Try to understand the excitement behind
those piercing black eyes
Try to understand her zeal for life,
tireless energy, and love for others.
Tomorrow
I'll sit down beside her and get to know
to know this sister of mine.
I'll get to know the skinny girl little girl
I grew up with.
Tomorrow
We'll go for a long walk
We'll sit for hours and laugh
Today?
I'm too busy.
I have too much to do.
She's getting on my nerves.
Today...

September Dreams
You have left an emptiness in my heart.
One body, two names.Nothing can disunite us.
You are constructed at my heart.
Two souls span one skin and when I speak you are silent.
Two wicks, one candle.
Two souls in one heart.
Missing my twin in September dreams.
One body, two names.Nothing can disunite us.
You are constructed at my heart.
Two souls span one skin and when I speak you are silent.
Two wicks, one candle.
Two souls in one heart.
Missing my twin in September dreams.

Lost Poem
I sit and wonder where the light has gone
counting the silent noises,walled framed and suddenly ridiculous:shining down at the nothing that is me.
I know I should rise and flood the room with lights and noise
but the purpose eludes me and the will forsook me long ago.
My gaze at the surrounding phone, reminds me I'm sad and alone,
stupidly waiting for you to never call.
With pen in hand I turn to the paper, lines of sadness intended for you. My attempt to apologize and forgive.
Still not the words I'd planned on, as if my hand is compelled.

Life
Life without mean
cannot be borne.
We find a mission
to which we are sworn.
Or answer the call
of Deaths dark horn.
Without a gleaning
of purpose in life.
We have no vision,
we live in strife.
Or let blood fall
on a suicide knife.

Broken Angel
I'll walk through these burning fields.
The broken angel that no longer flies.
Upon the broken black and white wings made of tears and blood.
If you'll forever be my sweet 666,
I'll be your broken angel,
Always falling into your arms to get away from this Hell.
The broken angel that no longer flies.
Upon the broken black and white wings made of tears and blood.
If you'll forever be my sweet 666,
I'll be your broken angel,
Always falling into your arms to get away from this Hell.

Dark Halloween
Welcome gents and welcome ladies come into the dark,see what's inside
discover why your frightened of the dark.
Would you like to see something deadly, how about strange?
Would you like to see your friends scream in their dreams?
How about snake bites, you like snakes? we can let them creep and hide in your bed and let them slither up unsuspecting legs.
I like ghosts,how about some goblins too.
Want some vampires? Don't you want to get bitten and have you life taken from you?
Take my hand,walk through the forgotten graves in the foggy night,maybe get caught by a...

A dark, dark kiss
Amber eyes
chilling
Russet and copper tints
peer out of skin white as powder.
The look of a nocturnal being.
I lock my gaze on their piercing, empty stare.
They draw me in.
I am powerless to resist.
She
Ophelia
in crimson red corset,
lies motionless on a bare wood floor,
covered in dust.
She invites me to imbibe her sacred charms
Have I no free will?
I approach
Slowly
Steadily
Her icy visage warns me to turn back
But there is no turning back
I am inches above her
She commands in silence
Her dominion...

how do you
This is for the child me and my lover lost last night
How do you love a person
who never got to be,
or try to envision a face
you never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
who never got to live.
When there's nothing to feel good about
and nothing to forgive.
Wandering through my lonely hours,
beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
you ever were born,
to live the lovely night of life
and never see the dawn?
Life's a burst of joy and pain.
And then like yours, it's done.
just as if you'd lived for...

Hatred
how long shall i stare into the faces of hatred?
that i don't know.
i have looked at the faces of hatred for a long time
when i can look away that i don't know.
sometimes it is abuse,a face I know too well.
eyes red as hot coals.teeth of jagged iron that cuts me and
leaves me bleeding.lips of fire with words of molten steel that
sears right through me that leaves me tattered and bruised.
this face i have stared at for years,when i can look away i
haven't a clue but i fear my body will be blue before i can.

Break
Break apart this empty shell
you'll find the reason why I'm dead
Stop the bleeding,close the scars
rip out this broken heart.
I died this way,filled with pain,
closing off everything
I found my wound that never closed
and it ripped me open.
What once I loved,now disappeared
into this never unending fear
swallowed whole,while my heart turned black
I showed you all these things I lack.
So just break me now!
Kill me off,maybe then we'll stop this pain
you'll find the reason why I'm dead
Stop the bleeding,close the scars
rip out this broken heart.

Kill me off,maybe then we'll stop this pain

darkness falls
As I stare ever so carefully,The Darkness stares right back at me.
The heartless world clings to fake ideas that I no longer make.
My world was shredded,torn apart. As my world So was my heart.
I lost feeling and became so numb, Blissfully ignorant of what’s to come.
The smile on my face is forced by me.Sorry to tell you I want to be set free.
Like a shadow in the night,Invisible to all I want nothing there when I fall.

Like a shadow in the night,Invisible to all I want nothing there when I fall.

insanity
Cant you tell the reason I cry? When it hurts so much I die. I love you but I cant take you.The pain is way too much to go through. Cant you see the bloody tears? Or cant you see cause you turned blind though all the years? Cant you see all my pain? Will it help if I stand out, alone in the rain? Watch as my dead body falls. You never answered my calls. Let me be corrupted for eternity. I'll watch as you're dragged around like a dog, trying to control my insanity.
