POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Informally spewing thoughts through a small keyboard.
Recurring delusion
They forget only one, just as they have to forget yet another.
Please, ask for a save.
Fixation, tempered temptation.. for
aftermarket hearts and faulty eyes.
Stages leave marks, up the notch, remember the experimental predictive predecessor. Brakes begin banned relevant romance. Inverted inertial control of a new modeled brain. Engage beneficial preemptive partner programs.
Subject successfully succumbs to love.
File forgotten feelings of mapped motivation.
Conclude calculated rhythmic results.

Take me back to when i didn't know anything
Two nights ive lived
For what it used to be like
For two nights youve given me air to breathe
Tasted death but chose to keep me alive
Yeahhhhh
Yeahh
Maybe im losing all my friends
Pull you back in this guilt ridden lifestyle
Im not your lover
Im not your anything
Im a liar
I care
Im your everything
So i say for my own sake on reality
Where the fuck has it been
The cause for all your problems
I dont wanna write anymore
Diagnosed with honesty for love
It never was
Never near about two
To believe...

Mister chainsmoke, king awkward
Here i sit, lighting cigarettes with sparklers in a rainstorm
Sleeping in a parking lot just for the hell of it, rain comin down in various waves of serenity and flashes up in the sky
Helping me light another
Mr. Chainsmoke-king awkward
The backseat of my car never felt so loving
A moment to get away
A moment to remember
Then and now
Forever and what has already ended
You would think i would be scared
sleepin in cars
But i got sparklers, can light another in this rainstorm
leave me burnt out just enough to
Throw my head back...

For those lost daughters
I'll keep you alive
I'll keep you alive inside my heart
Little Violet
I wonder if every breath i take is one you can have
Little Violet
Your mother's dead inside i can't save her
started over a thousand times
You can find us in our dreams
we'll meet again
Find each other on the swings
Little Violet
Daddy's gonna get better
I swear i'll fuckin get better
All these inhales and exhales keep us alive
Daddy's gonna get better
Ill bring you home
Little Violet
I will come back

Irregular Things
She's a demon I can play with
The girl who sleeps with me on the park bench
She shows me irregular things
Holds my hands and teaches me how to swing a bat
I don't get why she sticks around
Maybe she loves me
But I don't mind she shows me irregular things
I think she loves me
The girl who sleeps with me on the park bench
She whispers her thoughts in my ear
and shows me irregular things
She holds cigarettes to my mouth
and tells me to breathe normally
I don't know why she does it

Teal Transition
A skeleton who breathes, tells me stories
She understands and lives with me in purgatory but we know it ain't gonna happen,
No.. the road is split in two, but I got plenty to make it back.
Life is the ocean and this car has enough room for friends
All tripped up in a bowl of cereal.
A skeleton who shows me affection, embraces my figure and rests her bones on my back
We’re destined to be friends, in fact i've sewn it
she fixes the lesions in my head
in return i bring her back from the dead
we’re all tripped up in a bowl of cereal ...

They're what make my head spin
Cleanse me, wash away my face and short circuit my heart
I'm a monster that needs to be decommissioned
Bury the fantasies and addictions that flood into my head
Turn off the personalities I no longer have use for
He needs her, he wants her, and I just feel her... breath on my neck saying I'm the fucking distraction
When all I want to do is rip her open and know how she works
Keep it interesting
I want it bad
Fuck I need it bad
I can’t handle it anymore
I live to write on their arms
Share what the possibility of a tragic...

The Gift of Life
Her beauty is judged, to young to bare
They see her and whisper words of disgrace
I wish they could share my eyes
See the life she breathes
Her aura of sovereignty
The need to protect her from harm
This woman is not my love
She just carries something magnificent
Something I dream of holding
Everyone has their time
I shall wait for mine
They see her and whisper words of disgrace
I wish they could share my eyes
See the life she breathes
Her aura of sovereignty
The need to protect her from harm
This woman is not my love
She just carries something magnificent
Something I dream of holding
Everyone has their time
I shall wait for mine

An addition too The Canterbury Tales (in a way)
The Ravager
Creation by accident, merely a fool
Someone who certainly builds his own tools
To twist and bend
Something that would never trend,
Accident it may be,
But the facts are plain to see
Frilly robes, majestic and hand sewn,
Drape down below anything else known
Faded white, and a smell that lingers
Mysterious eyes that see everything, especially fingers
Certainly well mannered, but judged defective
They’re embarrassed to even be connected,
By the way is...

Oath
It burns to look at
I swear you gave me some of your insanity but
It's probably just my own finally setting in
It was some of yours and some of mine
Definitely not the blood of the divine
I'd like to say I don't regret it
But keeping it with nothing in return
Definetly wasn't something I was glad to do

Angel Bites
My eyes are closed
can feel the waves
the motion of my room setting me free
Memories fill the space where there used to be air
slowly draining the ability to consciously stay awake
I can hear it, I'm not alone anymore
she bites my lip leaves them pierced
she's the angel that's come to breathe life back into me
give me another chance, she knows what I'll do
lays me down and sticks the needle in
"can you feel it yet?" her words send me to another
something far from anything I've ever felt

Runaway love pays its dues
I can feel it in my lungs, the burning from your tongue.
The truth behind your lies leaves me dazed and confused.
I think I'm happily subdued.
Breathless, I finally see the light, as the angels take their flight.
In reality it's only birds and I find you unconcerned.
You tell me my eyes have changed their color
a sign we'd find love from another.
Kindness mistreated, the passion of one who knew and understood.
Our caretaker who gave and had no feud.
You gave us reason and showed us true youth.
We hope your well and fortuned with wealth....
