POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have a dark side and some would think that is very weird considering my behavior.
No Fear In Love
I want you to love me like
we have no fear.
No fear that this is ending
that this is our last night
Twist in the bed sheets
as you pull me closer
our bodies intertwined together
as one whole
even if we lay in parts
Whisper in my ear the things
you will do to keep this going
to keep us happy
Tell me all your lies and
confess your sins
Throb inside me as your
tears drop to my face
Take me inside your mind
Rip your emotions through
our bodies and grasp my skin
tighter
I want to feel your pain...
we have no fear.
No fear that this is ending
that this is our last night
Twist in the bed sheets
as you pull me closer
our bodies intertwined together
as one whole
even if we lay in parts
Whisper in my ear the things
you will do to keep this going
to keep us happy
Tell me all your lies and
confess your sins
Throb inside me as your
tears drop to my face
Take me inside your mind
Rip your emotions through
our bodies and grasp my skin
tighter
I want to feel your pain...

Raw
Like the evil glow of the moon
I feel the violent pulling
Of my skin so energetic
And crazy but it feels
Right to push the
Limits of this dizzying nightmare
Of this energy
Ready to pounce on its victims
twisting and scratching
Until raw marks are left
On inflamed skin
Killing the cells and vibrating
The body in a whirlwind of
Madness thinking
Madness driving instinct to
It's point like the tip of a blade so
sharp it will kill you with a touch
Suffocating insanity to your
Last breath spinning and stopping
and spinning...

Rise Me Up
Yellow moon yellow moon
Kiss me like Death's
Dream on my pillow
Cover me in your
Unearthly glow
That casts shadows
In the deep hour of
Midnight
Bury me where they
Won't find me
Hide me where they
Can't catch me
Leave me where I'll
Rest until you rise again
Yellow moon yellow moon
Kiss me like Death's
Dream on my pillow
Cover me in your
Unearthly glow
That casts shadows
In the deep hour of
Midnight
Bury me where they
Won't find me
Hide me where they
Can't catch me
Leave me where I'll
Rest until you rise again
Yellow moon yellow moon

Lost Among The Hopeless
I keep slipping, deeper
slipping into the dark
No hand to hold to pull
me through this.
Nothing to go to,
to save me from myself
Every ounce of strength
I've had left has now disappeared
like my shattered soul
among the hopeless.
I can't control these,
these moments of lostness
where my mind totals over
like a surfer caught in a wave
and lost at sea.
I am lost,
lost among the hopeless
Among the many people thriving
to keep me balanced
to keep me stable.
But how far will that go?
how long will it...

Planet Earth
The world as we know
it has crashed, into the
well that has blossomed from
its hiding spot beneath
the ground.
Beneath its safe place, into
the unsafe dwelling of
an unfamiliar place.
Into the unknown that
which is what we call
home. This place
Earth.

My Love
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You can't love me
as much as I love you.

New Level
As everything in my
world shifts to color
I realize how much
he could change me.
How much he could make
me believe in everything.
The universe has
taken a 360 and is now
orbiting around our lives
around everything that
we have become, everything
that we have not become.
We have created our own world,
our own universe. And we are
taking it to a whole
New Level.

Bear
Everything about you
sends my senses shaking
and my belly doing somersaults
The way you say name
like an unanswered prayer
hanging on the tip of
your tongue.
The way your eyes look,
smoldering color in the dim light
breaking through my barrier
that has kept me up so strong
now crumbling under your gaze
Feeling your heated skin falling
at rest upon my chilling flesh
Your body molded perfectly around
mine as if it always was
Your voice as crimson as a rose
but as soft as a petal
The steady rhythm of...

Is it really Normal?
What if Normal doesn't exist,
then what would we strive for?
What would people do
on day-to-day basis?
What is normal?
What is the word?
Why is the word?
Who gave someone the
right to decide WHAT
is normal?
Normal.
Such a plain sounding
word and yet it
describes life in the
most complex ways.
I can't decide whether
normal is good or not.
Should we be afraid
of it, afraid that we would
blend into the crowd
of normalcy?
Begin to feel gray
instead of the usual
colors of Black &...

Story of Life
Life is like a book
With nothing scribbled
upon its pages
The story is yet untold
and there are millions of
possible endings to millions
of possible beginnings.
Not one yet thought of
to be written upon the page
and here my pen stands ready
to break the barrier
that will soon create that story
That one story that defines
what life is, whatever
exists out there beyond
the grasp of human nature
This one pen can create
a life, the birth of
whatever storyline it shall
tell and many shall read
...

Playing Your Song
Over and over again
I hear it being played
in my head, in my head
The constant rhythm of
the electric giutar
Striking pain in the only
part of my body you've touched
Breaking me down
to pieces that can't be saved
Ripping that hole bigger
in my chest
Tearing what's left of
my sanity to shreds
It mocks me with every chord
every note a reminder of
what I lost
This beat has sent me down
to my knees and I'm
no longer able to stand up
to your tune
To your song
To your fucking song...

I Bid You Farewell
At peace with the world
as I find my place of rest
No more will I be at play
with the sun or at sleep
with the moon
My time has been reversed
and is a permanent strike
against my clock.
The seconds have ticked out
and my hour is up.
So therefore I bid you goodnight.
