POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am at a very confused place in life and I am not sure why.
To write you must watch
Writing is not simply about fucking writing
To create the next master piece
The first thing that must be done
Is to observe other master pieces
It's all very well and good thinking
Deep meaningful things about
Love
Life
A stupid bitch who dumped you
Murder
Torture
Death
Suspense
Yet if you have not read about it
Or watched something that raised your heartbeat above 140
Then frankly do not even bother
Do not even look at the keyboard
Because frankly
You do not deserve to write anything at all
Put the fucking pen...

Its what you hear
Part of the fear factor
Isn't what we see
The blood
The guts
Decapitated body parts
Torn apart fingers and toes
Torn hair
Eyeballs out their sockets
All play their part
But...its what we hear
The creaking of the door
The scream
The footsteps
The laugh
The heavy breathing
Crying
The metal scraping against
Wood
Walls
Curtains
Tiles
Then there's the words
"Why so serious"
"I will find and I will kill you"
"Don't forget to smile"
The words that creep into...

Pins and needles
Sitting on the couch
Your body rests on your arms
Your legs are resting on the table
You are watching a Jerry Springer Marathon
11am
You sit for a couple of hours
12am-Your body feels perfectly fine while you constantly scream "Jerry, Jerry,Jerry" but you can't get up
1pm-The blood flow in your arms slowly makes the tiny vibrations begin.
You know you can't move your arms
2pm-The blood flow in your legs bring up the tiny sensations much like your arms
You are now stuck on the couch
The only way to free yourself is to put your...

Pretending to be all deep and shit
Looking at the white screen of doom
Pretending to be all deep and shit
Asking important questions like
Where is the bed?
More importantly
Where is the girl in the bed?
Where is the unhealthy food?
What is the meaning of life?
It's 44
Sorry Marvin, Zaphod, Heart of Gold and mice
So here I am
Pretending to be all deep and shit
Here's a strange thought...
Does Cancer get too much press
Its the poster child of sickness
Screw
Aids
Tumors
The flu
and hangovers
It must be Cancer
I'll try

The perfect killer
A person that blends in
But not enough to be in the background
A person that is friendly
But isn't afraid to make a stand
A person who is quiet
But talks the right amount
A person who has a flawless character
But isn't afraid to reveal their mistakes
That is the first test
A person who knows the body
But not too well
A person who is methodical
But is also reckless
A person that is strong
But is seen as weak
That is the second test
The third and final test is simply
A yearning to kill
A desire or a will

The QWERTY anagram
Looking down at the letters
QWERTY on this
Infernal keyboard
Hoping that the words will just flow into my head
The world's greatest anagram
with no answers
YUIOP
The only word that be seen is
YOU
Unless there's an unknown language
Looking at ASDF
What the fuck!
ASDF makes no words nor sense
Perhaps sad
Even looking at
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM
On the infernal keyboard
Where master pieces by others are made
The QWERTY anagram
Still eludes me

Why murder when you can torture
Murder is final
A corpse feels no pain, nor sorrow, nor fear, nor regret
To kill means taking away
The fear
The tension
The temptation
The lust of...
The heavy breathing
Gentle sobbing
Heart throbbing
and best of all
The scream
The ear piercing scream
That causes normal people to have bad dreams
But for you the scream encourages you to do more
More cutting
More piercing
More electrifying
More playing
Like a cat with a yarn ball

The world we choose to live in
Reality remains unaltered
In short
It
Is
Hard
In order to cure this reality
We create a world we choose to live in
A figment of our imagination
Quite simply denial
Not outright denial
A subtle form that we never realize
and will never realize
Choosing to look at a glass as
Half full or
Half empty
Simply shows which world we choose to live
The half empty world
The half full world
The reality is that the glass is actually 100% full
Half water
Half air
Philosophies...

Sleep
Sleep
It's so magical that it makes you weep
After a long day at work
The bed welcomes you with open arms
It doesn't say anything or do anything
But it means the world to you
Sleep
In 10 minutes time
You'll float away in peace
Sleep
The void of time where you forget your problems
You forget your stress, your worries or fear
Where you snugly hold your blanket near
Sleep
A place where you love to enter
But hate to leave
Sleep
A place I like to call
Heaven
No
What about just sleep

Mother's day
Walking into the kitchen
Grab the eggs, grab the milk, grab the coffee
Oh no!...
Where's the oil?
Turn on the gas stove
Put the pan on the flame
Crack the eggs
Oh no!...
There's egg shells in the bowl
About that oil
What does mom like that is like oil?
Wine...
That is it!
I throw the wine into an open flame
boom!
What a fireball!
Sniff...sniff
Breakfast smells good...
Oh Crap!
I'm on fire!
She walks into the kitchen and screams
"What is going on?"
She throws the some flour...

Tis a good day to be sadistic
Tis a good day to be sadistic
The sun is up
The birds are singing
and someone is about to bail
instead of screaming "look out!"
Laugh and say "haha...what a fail"
Tis a great day to be sadistic
So a person acts like a fool
That's cool
Encourage them to do more
until their dumbass meets the floor
Stand over them then say
"the floor is hard hey"
Tis a fantastic day to be sadistic
The neighbor's dogs have been driving you mad
it made your fist go all iron clad
Why not try a gun
It's a...
