POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Us
Look at you: I can see the evil in your eyes. Even your own mind betrays you. Look at your hands: The misdeeds they have commited still lay etched in every crease. Your smile speaks nothing but deception, your lips scream the lies. Surely you must know what you've done to me, what you've done to them, what you'll continue to do. Is there no stopping your madness? The sin seeps from your pores and tarnishes everything it happens to touch. With the grace of a finger, you stain it all black as soot. The most delicate flower withers under your cursing stare.
There is no hope for you now....
There is no hope for you now....

Please Smile When You Think of Me
It's a soft, silent sort of crying.. Like when you realize that a piece of you is missing, but it's so far away. Like finding a treasure in the woods, and not being able to remember which tree you hid it behind. It's frustrating to the point of being painful. Almost like dying, slowly. It's a pain that you can't even locate- just point to your heart to give a vague direction. Some pain is so familiar, you can hardly call it hurt anymore. You just learn to live with it. Somehow it doesn't hurt quite so bad as it used to, and it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I hope I helped give you the...

Untitled/<Open to Suggestion>
I had not allowed myself sufferance to bear your consequence. Sing to me my faults and the misleadings of my heart, that I may learn the path to salvation. Who would love one so fearful and meek; sorrowful for things done wrong and not knowing how to do right. Sing to me once more, tell me how you despise my sight, so that I might lie in peace; that the stillness of my heart in wait may not keep me from the rest my body and mind so long for.

All We Are
O beautiful moment
When you come to realize that your perception has been altered
When breath comes at a cost
And dreams may bloom before your very eyes
O beautiful moment
The very thought of his eyes may entice you to fly
May dare you to learn
Or perhaps to share what you'd always held
O beautiful moment
The greatest of treasures seems with you and almost within
Reach for the sky
And perhaps you may for once really hold
O beautiful moment
The wrath of his scorn for having mislead for so very...

Sit quiet
Try to find you here
Lying close
Into a distant field
You blow to me a flower
It smells strange of foreign sweet
Tell me of your story
When you first began
To where our hearts were stronger then
To where we've never been
Atop the glory
Where did you ever go
Why I couldn't follow
Share the dream
And hold it close
Silence
You will follow
Bury me
To down below
Quiet crying
Cherish secret smiles
Reaching what we never hold
Moonlight failing,...

Damn This Dusty Room (Ver. 1)
Sit quiet
Try to find you here
Lying close
Into a distance field
You blow to me a flower
It smells strange of foreign sweet
Cry on into dusk
By noontime here we fall again
Fail to realize
Fail to love
Fail to gasp the clearity
Dream of when we understand
Bloom into full reality
Dance through starlight
You whisper to me
"Meet again"
Respond
If only for a breath
A breath for life
A breath for them
Stranger things have happened
Reach again
To touch her hair
She's searching for...

Hey
Hey little kitty
with your eye on your nose
Limbs gone limp
and God only knows
Why tragedy strikes
Here and again
You've gone to heaven
to see your friend
Hey little kitty
with guts so soft
Here comes the shovel
up and aloft
Down go your bones
down to the earth
Who would have thought
That's all you'd be worth
Hey little kitty
rest now, dear
No big, bad puppy
to set you to fear
One last glimpse
with your eye on your nose
Hey little kitty
that's just how it goes
with your eye on your nose
Limbs gone limp
and God only knows
Why tragedy strikes
Here and again
You've gone to heaven
to see your friend
Hey little kitty
with guts so soft
Here comes the shovel
up and aloft
Down go your bones
down to the earth
Who would have thought
That's all you'd be worth
Hey little kitty
rest now, dear
No big, bad puppy
to set you to fear
One last glimpse
with your eye on your nose
Hey little kitty
that's just how it goes

Strange
It feels almost unnatural. Closing my eyes and just letting my fingers take me wherever they want to go. It's times like these that I'm thankful for having taught myself how to type the way I do. My brain is too full again. It seems strange that my head can be full to bursting with the sound of dozens of voices that I can't remember.. Whispers and shouting alike. Soft and slow they drone on and on and on. They need to learn some manners and stop interrupting one another quite so often. Not that I couldn't stand to learn the same lesson, seeing as I interrupt people more often than I can keep...

The Day The Wind Died
There something so refreshing about standing on the precipice, a mere stutter away from forever.. She straightened her back, her toes pointed, balanced against the wind tossing her hair and dress. This was her comfort zone. The dizzying angle of the stone face making the drop seem even further than it was; and it was quite a fall. The breeze at this hight was like a constant ocean breath, an exhalation that seemed to begin and end with time itself, which lovingly held her in place as her toes curled around the barren rock and she leaned into it. Adjusting her head, she looked straight down,...

Welcome
Come in to find a smile
"There she is," and a laugh
It makes me feel warm and happy
But can dreams ever really be?
"There she is," and a laugh
It makes me feel warm and happy
