POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Sometimes life treats you hard, but you can live through it with poetry.
A Metophor
The water
Oh the clear water
As shimmering
As the stars
As beautiful
As the moon
On the surface
But down beneath
In the murky
Depths of the mind
Is so crowded
So dreary
That the normal man
Cannot tolerate
Its desolate reaches
The creatures
Are so complex
So terrible
That the normal man
Cannot even fathom
Every person
That has dared
Tread these dreadful depths
Has drowned
As have I
Even though
These waters
Are mine to control
Oh the clear water
As shimmering
As the stars
As beautiful
As the moon
On the surface
But down beneath
In the murky
Depths of the mind
Is so crowded
So dreary
That the normal man
Cannot tolerate
Its desolate reaches
The creatures
Are so complex
So terrible
That the normal man
Cannot even fathom
Every person
That has dared
Tread these dreadful depths
Has drowned
As have I
Even though
These waters
Are mine to control

Void
The tears on my face
As cold as ice
The hole in my chest
Grows every day
My voice
Doesn't work
My hands
Hang limp
So close
Yet so damned far
I cannot stand it anymore
Distance is no problem
But this void is
I know
Im not important
I know
You have others
I know
I am not top priority
Though my heart still breaks
After each missed
Message
I have found
The truth of love
Any distance
Is none at all
Any age
Is washed away
But any void
A dark deep
A light shallow
Void...

A word so true
A definition so clear
That everyone knew
But in this context
So blue
Its meaning is not
So new
Love
A word so great
That from everyone
There is much debate
Its the opposite
Of hate
With such power
From my mate
What will occur
When these two terms
Clash
It is pain
It is terror
It is sorrow
We have not spoken
We have not seen
I cannot stand
Not being able
To hold your hand

A play on blue
Roses are white
Violets are pink
You are
My missing link
Roses are white
Violets are pink
You brought me
From the brink
Roses are white
Violets are pink
As we get drunk
And our glasses go clink!
Roses are white
Violets are pink
Fucks to the rich
With coats of mink
Violets are pink
You are
My missing link
Roses are white
Violets are pink
You brought me
From the brink
Roses are white
Violets are pink
As we get drunk
And our glasses go clink!
Roses are white
Violets are pink
Fucks to the rich

A play on red
Roses are pink
Violets are white
Into the sea
Of pleasured delight
Roses are pink
Violets are white
Come to me
The forever light
Roses are pink
Violets are white
When I see you
My heart takes flight
Roses are pink
Violets are white
I will follow you
To the greatest hight
Violets are white
Into the sea
Of pleasured delight
Roses are pink
Violets are white
Come to me
The forever light
Roses are pink
Violets are white
When I see you
My heart takes flight
Roses are pink
Violets are white
I will follow you
To the greatest hight

A play on violets
The dawn is red
The day is blue
Come my child
And rest anew
The fire is red
The ocean is blue
Float away
And find yourself true
One eye red
One eye blue
A split soul
Never knew
The kind heart red
The cold soul blue
Clash as one
And return true
The day is blue
Come my child
And rest anew
The fire is red
The ocean is blue
Float away
And find yourself true
One eye red
One eye blue
A split soul
Never knew
The kind heart red
The cold soul blue
Clash as one
And return true

Satin Layed Box
The human heart is such
A fragile thing
To be held
And kept close
In a satin layed box
But people
Get careless
The hearts
The ruin
In a box of bone
And spikes
It does hurt
I admit to the
Latest
To give you heart
Away
Beware the bone
Beware the spikes
Mourn the satin
And let your
Pain go
Keep whats yours
Give whats theirs
One day you
Will find
Your satin layed
Box
A fragile thing
To be held
And kept close
In a satin layed box
But people
Get careless
The hearts
The ruin
In a box of bone
And spikes
It does hurt
I admit to the
Latest
To give you heart
Away
Beware the bone
Beware the spikes
Mourn the satin
And let your
Pain go
Keep whats yours
Give whats theirs
One day you
Will find
Your satin layed

Nature
Feel the ground
A gentle quake
Look at the sky
A little light
Play with the fire
An abundance of delight
The sights and sounds
Of nature
Teasing at your senses
Smell the breeze
A hint of leaves
Touch the lake
A simple glimmer
Hold the stars
A majority shimmer
The sights and sounds
Of nature
Luring you in
A gentle quake
Look at the sky
A little light
Play with the fire
An abundance of delight
The sights and sounds
Of nature
Teasing at your senses
Smell the breeze
A hint of leaves
Touch the lake
A simple glimmer
Hold the stars
A majority shimmer
The sights and sounds
Of nature
Luring you in

The Night Hunt
The night settles down
The hunters come out
No rules
Just games
Tricks not treats
I feast on
Their forgotten prey
No work to be done
Let that red wine flow
From the no longer living
I steal what they have
Take what they need
Their lives
Their wine
Give me fresh meat
As the monster comes out
No one is safe
Instinct and desire
Desire and instinct
Try to help
As I beg you to do
But help isnt possible
As I wake in bed
To the sweet sweet dream
Of days to come
The hunters come out
No rules
Just games
Tricks not treats
I feast on
Their forgotten prey
No work to be done
Let that red wine flow
From the no longer living
I steal what they have
Take what they need
Their lives
Their wine
Give me fresh meat
As the monster comes out
No one is safe
Instinct and desire
Desire and instinct
Try to help
As I beg you to do
But help isnt possible
As I wake in bed
To the sweet sweet dream
Of days to come

speak
I try to speak
I try to fight
I try for happiness
I try for flight
I am stuck
I am grounded
Cannot move
Cannot speak
An opinion not heard
A choice wrongly made
Hush, not a single word
Hush, not a blaze burned
I come from silence
I go into silence
Not a word to be spoken
Not a word to be heard
I try to speak
I try to fight
I am turned away
I am turned down
My opinion not heard
My choice already made
I shall float away in the darkness
On the whispering wind
To get to a place where finaly
I begin...
