POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm a door which ever way you open it will always lead you outside
Poetic injustice
Warning signs written upside down
Ignorance wears the crown
Written words make no sound
The world is looking the other way around
We're all getting lost and it's getting dark
Warning signs written upside down
This is poetic Injustice
Preaching words preaching to empty ears
Powerful words painting pictures to empty seats
One legged poets standing on broken podiums
Standing firm on their words through floods and caving mountains
But their words go unheard
Because everyone is reading the warning signs upside down ...

Sometimes life can be a bitch
Learn to smile through the pain cause sometimes life can be a bitch
You can chase the rainbow only to find there's no pot of gold
You can walk through hell only to find there's no light at the end of the tunnel
You can't spend forever protecting beauty only to find in the end someone out there is just better than you
Learn to smile through the pain cause sometimes life can be a bitch
You can't wait on superman only to find his waiting on someone for help
You can plan for your dreams only to wake up and have them snatched away
Sometimes life is a bitch...
You can chase the rainbow only to find there's no pot of gold
You can walk through hell only to find there's no light at the end of the tunnel
You can't spend forever protecting beauty only to find in the end someone out there is just better than you
Learn to smile through the pain cause sometimes life can be a bitch
You can't wait on superman only to find his waiting on someone for help
You can plan for your dreams only to wake up and have them snatched away
Sometimes life is a bitch...

The cursed gift
The greatest gift granted to a man is life
The greatest victory granted to a man is death
For man hard work, the greatest reward granted to a man is love
And yet a Man greatest curse is his own heart
A man greatest prison is his own mind
For in life man finds hell
But in death man finds freedom
In love man begins to understand true joy and happiness
And in his heart man finds greed
For in his mind a man will always remember his pain and his failure
A man greatest lesson is his own mistakes
Man are granted conscience
But in conscience...
The greatest victory granted to a man is death
For man hard work, the greatest reward granted to a man is love
And yet a Man greatest curse is his own heart
A man greatest prison is his own mind
For in life man finds hell

In love man begins to understand true joy and happiness
And in his heart man finds greed
For in his mind a man will always remember his pain and his failure
A man greatest lesson is his own mistakes
Man are granted conscience

Tenement heart
In the narrow corridors of space and time
In the depth of tenement walls
Lives a women trying to keep the world from the door
And a seeder, his only desire
Is to feel his endeavors
And a child springing from these cold empty tenement walls
The seeder would come home late
Drunk and lost his dollar to the ace of spades
Would come home whining about the hag he got married to
And a busted child he brings shame to
He would raise arm to wife
And the springing child would bare witness to
Deep inside the dark tenement walls of...

you're beautiful as wicked as you're
As wicked as you are, you're beautiful to me
You're my darkest burning star, you're my favorite disease
You're my only reason to live
My heart to serve your will
As wicked as you're, you gave your all to please them
Only to find yourself turned into stone like medusas' curse
Even so you still my loveliest pearl
With your scars and imperfections before me you're the best
They served you with words of hate and you tried to cover it with paint
Only to find behind what they call beauty lies a long blinding pain
As wicked as you're, you may be...

The end is here
The curtain closes
the coffin is lowered
the sun that shines for some
sets for us all
the court is in session
the verdict is in
goodbyes are in place
broken hearts,bruises still
sounds of trolls follow each other
the bewitching hour stands still
the ground opens up to tears
the preaching word is clear
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the end is here
the coffin is lowered
the sun that shines for some
sets for us all
the court is in session
the verdict is in
goodbyes are in place
broken hearts,bruises still
sounds of trolls follow each other
the bewitching hour stands still
the ground opens up to tears
the preaching word is clear
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the end is here

I've lost but nowhere close to being defeated
I've lost but nowhere close to being defeated
In a war of pens and words
Where the ink draws the line
Only the befitting was chosen
Lord knows I wrote my best
Lord knows I gave it my all
But my best fell short of the Victor
I've lost but nowhere close to being defeated
I feel the winner well deserved the title
The crown can only be given to a head that can wear it
I'm not ashamed to bow my head and call the Victor the best
I feel honored to have lost to such a prolific pen
I've lost but nowhere close to being defeated ...

Dangling feet
Dangling feet will they ever touch the floor?
Swinging above the ground who has ever thought in the end they will fly?
Dangling fleet longing to hit the floor
Swinging above the earth wishing they could to touch the ground so cold
Dangling feet above the ground but far below the sky
Swinging In mid air, praying for life
Dangling feet wishing to once again to walk the stairs
Swinging in mid air, they would kill to touch the ground even if it burnt the fire of hell
Dangling feet asking for mercy from the one above
Hoping to be spared the...

Playing God
Infecting every innocent brain, making them fall into sin
Questioning every Christian's faith, making them doubt what they believe
Larking in the deep dark shadows to instill fear
Whispering words of madness to blur what seems clear
Tempting every wicket soul, telling them what they want to hear
Offering my sweet salvation to all those in need
Promising a better tomorrow at a cost of a deal
Who's to deny me?,I dwell inside the weak
Slowly taking away your everything until you have only your soul to give
You're my tool, the world is my garden and...

04-06-12 again
I pray that one day, once again I'll meet you
I still hope that one day I'll get to to be with you
Sometimes I wish these photos would bring you back to life
Sometimes I wish the dreams of you would never end
Cause all I want to do is to see you again dancing in your favorite white dress
How I wish to see the sun glare in your eyes
How I wish to see your hair fall down your face
How I wish to see the tears roll down your face
And you're in my hands and I'll wipe them away
Anything just to be with you for another single day
Cause all I...
