POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Here's some of my old stuff. I've grown a bit since posting on here. I hold no ill will to DUP, but I've just moved on with life and I don't get on here much anymore.
The Aroeasa Leaf(Short Story 7)
The thick brush of the forest climbed between the two Ulla trees to form a wall. This was a common thing to find in the Reha Wood. In these small obscure walls birds would build nests that blend in to the scenery.
I climbed up to a large Ohva bird's nest and gathered the large eggs that were a common delicacy in my village. Then the whole wall shook; I heard a small growl. I jumped off of the wall started to run as a Hyrian bear burst through the wall sending debris and birds flying out in all directions.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I dodged small trees while the...

Fate(Short Story 6)
Fate, it's not a myth like most suspect, in fact Fate is alive. Fate lives through three women. We know them as the Fates. They know the future, past, and present of the world. If they were together it would destroy life as we know it.
Those who know about the Fates write to the one that they think can help them. Some want to know their past, others want to know their future, then there were the smart ones who wanted to know their present. I am one of the latter.
My letter came in the mail yesterday. I have deeply afraid to open it. I had to open it though; I decided to do it now....

Numb
I hate this feeling
There’s no greater pain
I’m not a machine
I’m not a game
I can’t feel
It’s a torturous affair
If I can’t feel my heart
Is it really there?
At least with pain
Or with love
I know I’m alive
I'm well enough
Numb is painful constriction
Showing we can’t feel
I hate it
Emotions make us real
If I was meant for this life
A robotic destiny
Numb would leave
And I could be free
There’s no greater pain
I’m not a machine
I’m not a game
I can’t feel
It’s a torturous affair
If I can’t feel my heart
Is it really there?
At least with pain
Or with love
I know I’m alive
I'm well enough
Numb is painful constriction
Showing we can’t feel
I hate it
Emotions make us real
If I was meant for this life
A robotic destiny
Numb would leave
And I could be free

Skull
My eyes
Burned to little sockets
Ashy tears
The color of Onyx
My mouth
Pulling together
Melting apart
Bones never wither
My nose falls
Off with a plop
My ears
Follow along
My skin
Stripped off
Gone away
I’m only a skull
Burned to little sockets
Ashy tears
The color of Onyx
My mouth
Pulling together
Melting apart
Bones never wither
My nose falls
Off with a plop
My ears
Follow along
My skin
Stripped off
Gone away
I’m only a skull

Zombie Ankle
It's the color of the dead
A purple, blue, and black
It creates a limp
Always holds me back
It aches and itches
Stiffer than a bone
Dragging along
Every where I go
I can't stand for long
Before I start to fall
It seems I am at a stalemate
An uneasy draw
A purple, blue, and black
It creates a limp
Always holds me back
It aches and itches
Stiffer than a bone
Dragging along
Every where I go
I can't stand for long
Before I start to fall
It seems I am at a stalemate
An uneasy draw

The White Knight (Short Story 4)
I woke up, conscience to only two things: I didn't know where I was and I was bleeding from the side of my head. The forest around me was dark and ominous. Someone was laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha, you call yourself me? I'm ashamed that I was ever a part of you," said a figure. When they stepped into the light I say it was myself, as if looking at a walking and talking reflection.
The memories started flooding back it, I started to remember what had happened.
I had been walking home from my friend's house on a cold winter night. I had the feeling I was being...

The Protector(Short Story 5)
The golden eyes stood out in the dark of the night. I knew it was her, it had to be. No one else was like her, nothing was. Her golden eyes of wisdom, surrounded of a face of immortality. Her golden hair shines every time I see her.
She seems as if she has finally found happiness in her lonely world that’s free of the chains of time. I am but man; she is one of the Immortals, what could she see in me?
”Hey,” she said.
”Hey,” I said back, not knowing what to say. I go with the foolish, “You called?”
”Yes, I need your help. Something is after me, something beyond my...

Bleh
Your face
Oh, your face
Why is it etched in my skull?
My poisonous saving grace
My ill will
All directed at you
Is broken by thoughts
That cut me in two
Leave me
In my shame
For I never
Forgot your name
Oh, sweet heartache
Why must you beat?
That era is done
I'm lost in defeat
Oh, your face
Why is it etched in my skull?
My poisonous saving grace
My ill will
All directed at you
Is broken by thoughts
That cut me in two
Leave me
In my shame
For I never
Forgot your name
Oh, sweet heartache
Why must you beat?
That era is done
I'm lost in defeat

Pressure
Watch me
I may explode
Gushes of blood
Out my nose
The pipes are expanding
Might burst soon
There lies my doom
My dreadful doom
A blood balloon
The pressure builds inside
It must drop
Or I might
Die
I may explode
Gushes of blood
Out my nose
The pipes are expanding
Might burst soon
There lies my doom
My dreadful doom
A blood balloon
The pressure builds inside
It must drop
Or I might
Die

The Call of The Meremaid(Short Story 3)
The world sunk below the sea, everything was swallowed by the dark blue depths that welcomed me into its ranks. I couldn't push myself to breathe, I forgot how to in that moment, things were exploding in my eyes. There was a whisper in my ear, telling me to fight and swim, and it's compulsion is what saved me.
I haven't been to that sea since, fearing that I would drown again, but I knew I couldn't. Not with that saving soul that pushed me to fight for my life, to escape the constriction of the water's hands. I knew I would have to go back, someday.
I raced back one...

Concerning Beauty
The funny thing about girls these days
A strange obsession of appearances
They think that the tanner they are
The closer they are to perfect
Well the truth is
Beauty is not only looks
A beautiful girl is beautiful
by herself, not with the changes she took
For me, true beauty is body, mind and the soul
Not some girl who looks like burnt meat
I have known many girls with a lot of curves
and they are more beautiful than celebrities
In summary, girls with looks
Yet are spoiled rotten
Are uglier than
The...

The Golden Watch(Short Story 2)
I’ve never noticed the sky to be as bright and beautiful as it was at this moment, which was frozen in time. The sun was setting along the west sending vibrant waves of color around the sky; I couldn’t tell where day ends and night begins. I would have stayed surrounded by this breath-taking sight for hours, if I was able to. Alas, the little golden pocket watch was starting to tick again, meaning that time would be set back into motion. Then, as the world started moving back to normal, I moved over to my old 76 Camero and started the engine, wondering what wonders would this watch show me. ...
