POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I love words and how they make one feel. How they come in and take over your soul. How they just fucking take over your whole existence.
As she dreams
She lay
beneath the night
the world
at the very edge
of existence
the earth
soaks into
her soul
as she falls
completely in love
with the stars
picking them
one by one
from the sky
tucking them away
inside her heart
for the nights
when darkness
devours her
beneath the night
the world
at the very edge
of existence
the earth
soaks into
her soul
as she falls
completely in love
with the stars
picking them
one by one
from the sky
tucking them away
inside her heart
for the nights
when darkness
devours her

Flesh
words
fall like rain
upon
naked flesh
hour by hour
the passion
builds
fingers dance
searching the depths
of my core
the waves
arrive
one after another
until sated
intoxicating
the scent of us
lingers
filling the room
fall like rain
upon
naked flesh
hour by hour
the passion
builds
fingers dance
searching the depths
of my core
the waves
arrive
one after another
until sated
intoxicating
the scent of us
lingers
filling the room

With You
I want
to sit here
with YOU
learning the secrets
of your soul
as the silence
echos
through these trees
and when darkness
falls upon us
we'll hang
our saccharine dreams
upon the moon
while we
fall in love
with the stars
to sit here
with YOU
learning the secrets
of your soul
as the silence
echos
through these trees
and when darkness
falls upon us
we'll hang
our saccharine dreams
upon the moon
while we
fall in love
with the stars

Her words
her words
beautiful like a rose
in shades of pink
stroke the pages
of his heart
oh so slowly
they touch a part
of him
he keeps hidden
behind a mask
her words
sweet like a dream
in hues of blue
they feel alive
inside his soul
dancing
like a summers breeze
upon the darkness
of the night
her words
finding
all his layers
and still choosing
to love him
regardless
of what the world says
beautiful like a rose
in shades of pink
stroke the pages
of his heart
oh so slowly
they touch a part
of him
he keeps hidden
behind a mask
her words
sweet like a dream
in hues of blue
they feel alive
inside his soul
dancing
like a summers breeze
upon the darkness
of the night
her words
finding
all his layers
and still choosing
to love him
regardless
of what the world says

Lost Girl
broken lights
flicker
in the vacant streets
she fills the void
by shooting liquid
into her veins
dulling the pain
at least for tonight
ink stained eyes
that see far more
than she can bare
ash filled lungs
start to suffocate
slowly
her mask she wears
to hide the shame
abandoned tears
that no longer come
and her empty body
she no longer owns
giving in
giving it completely
to the soul
of the city
flicker
in the vacant streets
she fills the void
by shooting liquid
into her veins
dulling the pain
at least for tonight
ink stained eyes
that see far more
than she can bare
ash filled lungs
start to suffocate
slowly
her mask she wears
to hide the shame
abandoned tears
that no longer come
and her empty body
she no longer owns
giving in
giving it completely
to the soul
of the city

Element(s)
I found you
in the darkness
of the night
as the clock ticks
in the quietness
of my mind
where my thoughts
are the very loudest
I found you
in the depths
of our words
each letter knowing
every syllable falling
finding comfort
in the sweet silence
between the periods
catching our breath
at the commas
and holding on
through the parentheses
I found you
in the lucid ink
of my pen
that scatters across
this blank canvas
I found you
in the element(s)
that trickle...
in the darkness
of the night
as the clock ticks
in the quietness
of my mind
where my thoughts
are the very loudest
I found you
in the depths
of our words
each letter knowing
every syllable falling
finding comfort
in the sweet silence
between the periods
catching our breath
at the commas
and holding on
through the parentheses
I found you
in the lucid ink
of my pen
that scatters across
this blank canvas
I found you
in the element(s)
that trickle...

Echo
somewhere in the
silent corridors
of my heart
your whispers
still echo
through every beat
silent corridors
of my heart
your whispers
still echo
through every beat

We once were
I packed away
all of the love
that I felt
for you
just as you asked
a shoebox
filled with memories
is all I have now
we use to meet
upon the clocks
loneliest hour
falling so hard
falling so fast
now it feels
like we are just strangers
upon the clocks
loneliest hour
only holding on
to what we once were
all of the love
that I felt
for you
just as you asked
a shoebox
filled with memories
is all I have now
we use to meet
upon the clocks
loneliest hour
falling so hard
falling so fast
now it feels
like we are just strangers
upon the clocks
loneliest hour
only holding on
to what we once were

Her secret
last nights bottle
lies empty
at her feet
she paints her lips red
trying to hide the pain
smile she does
always a fucking smile
to fit in
to be normal
she finds comfort
in her secret
the silent screams
are the loudest
but only in her head
trapped in this dark place
no one has ever been
a place so cold
that it drenches
your bones
bringing you
to your knees
to your lowest point
a tainted truth
is what she believes
and she finds comfort
in the liquid
that fills...

These Tracks
the burden
of these memories
surrender to my soul
their weight
crushing my existence
stumbling across
blood soaked glass
feeling the pain
upon my flesh
I've trudged
this tedious path
a thousand times before
my sable secrets
lay bare
upon these old tracks
I carry on
into the distance
as the jaded reflections
fade into the unknown
of these memories
surrender to my soul
their weight
crushing my existence
stumbling across
blood soaked glass
feeling the pain
upon my flesh
I've trudged
this tedious path
a thousand times before
my sable secrets
lay bare
upon these old tracks
I carry on
into the distance
as the jaded reflections
fade into the unknown
