POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
When metal speaks and people ask stupid questions
tonight someone asked a question
profound in its own right
he asked "why did we destroy the world"
I rolled my eyes
i told him
it wasn't me and it wasn't you
it all started before our time
before our mothers time
it got bad when the TV was invented
the brainwash box
the true zombie maker
a box that tells us our supposed truths
a box which tells us of perpetual wars
and sadness
telling us we need brands
if you dont wear them
well then
you suck as a person
if you dont have the hair or...

Absurd truths
If I love it
its gone
if i detest it
its there forever
I stopped loving anything a long time ago
I began hating everything around me
disdain would take over my life
For if i should show anything the tiniest bit of love
It fades into nothingness
it ceases to exist
It Started with my favorite shirt
I loved that shirt
I was 14
it was blue
then pink
bleach
then it escalated
from a shirt to people
to pets to homes
to jobs to buildings
even food i loved somehow became tainted and tasteless
like life
while...

Whats mine is mine, whats yours is yours
I do not write for you,
interpret it any way you want
its not yours, its mine
it came from my soul
from my heart
from my tangled mind
it is not yours
nor will it ever be
my idea does not need to be fixed by you
then it ceases being mine
if i wanted to be graded
i would have taken creative writing in college
yet i studied the stars
i don't write for you
i write for me
these are my visions
in my head
penned by me
i choose when the I gets capitalized
not you
you don't live in my brain
i...

Lightless
light does not shine through her window
nor does it beat upon her skin
light runs from her kind of darkness
stars refuse to twinkle if she looks to them
never born, yet she lives
somehow
barely
shadows at night
her only friends
yet the light,
which runs from her threatens to remove them
crepuscular, active only in the twilight
daylight teases her from afar
she blinks
and its gone again
dragging herself through this nightmare
she is complete
completely ...

But of course........
draped in shame
wanting to release myself
I hold back
nobody could handle it if i did
covered in lies
hoping for a truth
that does not exist
pummeled by fear
hiding in plain site
not wanting to be seen
ever
blasted by a fate that shouldn't be mine
haunted by time
clocks ticking in my face
seconds wasted
broken by design
an eternity spent walking thru my own mind
wanting to release myself
I hold back
nobody could handle it if i did
covered in lies
hoping for a truth
that does not exist
pummeled by fear
hiding in plain site
not wanting to be seen
ever
blasted by a fate that shouldn't be mine
haunted by time
clocks ticking in my face
seconds wasted
broken by design
an eternity spent walking thru my own mind

Reality in dreams
I should have know this wouldn't turn out well
he nicknamed me Desdemona, and said he was under my spell
i didn't even like him, at first
i think i sensed his curse
He was something i didn't need
but to a friendship i agreed
we went out here and there
and every time my gut was telling me to beware
then somehow it all got tangled up and lines had been crossed
and everything i thought i knew was lost
he was anger, i was sadness
together we gave birth to madness
He needed me i need him
then everything...

Sherri
she was the other one
the one you used for fun
she had all the frills
she gave you pills
she too was lost in a sea of opiates
and whatever other drugs seemed appropriate
she would text you day and night
you and i would always fight
i would fight for you to be sober
she would fight for you to come over
luring you with those pills
while i worked hard to pay all the bills
she told you love came in a bottle
so you went after that love full throttle
you were never...

Monday
the phone rings
my bird sings
my cat meows
the reality of the here and now
the grass has grown it needs to be cut
but honestly i don't give a fuck
the dishes are filling up the sink
but I'd rather lay here and think
there's so much shit i could do
i could learn karate or Kung fu
but i don't
and probably wont
motivation ceased to exist
and everything else just got dismissed
to get out of bed or not that is the question
could these be signs of depression?
i could take a shower
yet i feel...

The curse of the libra
The zodiac is filled with things that live, yet I am the scales
here are some more details
trying to find balance in a imperfect world
standing straight while everything else twirl's
I guess you could say I'm an equilibrium whore
keeping everything balanced is a chore
balancing night with the length of day
always having the need to weigh
a soul in one pan, a feather in the other
trading one pain for another
left,right,left,right
scales tipping all night
never knowing which...

The day before
the day before you died
we held each other and cried
you said we would always be
and you would never leave
i think about that day all the time
you were taken in your prime
i knew you were addicted
i knew you were conflicted
i tried tough love
i tried praying to the god above
nothing worked for long
everything i tried was wrong
when they called to tell me about you
i wouldn't believe it to be true
i drove to the hospital
not wanting it to be possible ...

Presentiment
Oh crystal ball
why didn't you shine for me
why didn't you let me see
the tale unfolds in the dark
there was a boom and then a spark
i don't know what i heard after
but I'm pretty sure, it was laughter
stumbling thru the black
knowing I'm under some sort of attack
confusion for I truly don't know where i might be
and I'm feeling all types of everything
trying to think where i last was
but it remains a fuzz
this might be a dream
but the vibe, it's to extreme
i try to feel around
i listen for...
