POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write these words, but do you care?~ Dissect my life, soul left bare~ Write for me, and I for you~ Just keep sure your pen stays true~
My Headache
The echoing anguish in my head
Poisonous thoughts left unsaid
Slit tongue, my thoughts exiled
In sake of peace, the truths defiled
Pressure builds screeching in pain
The lies for others shall be my bane
Skull cracking with no relief
A man's word riddled with disbelief
A slip of my will and I lose them all
If i right my wrongs I will fall
Mark my words, for I choose them well
One day I will snap and release my hell
To those who have made me a joke
I will make you cry for my morals you broke
Poisonous thoughts left unsaid
Slit tongue, my thoughts exiled
In sake of peace, the truths defiled
Pressure builds screeching in pain
The lies for others shall be my bane
Skull cracking with no relief
A man's word riddled with disbelief
A slip of my will and I lose them all
If i right my wrongs I will fall
Mark my words, for I choose them well
One day I will snap and release my hell
To those who have made me a joke
I will make you cry for my morals you broke

A Bloody Bouquet
I can feel it slowly slipping away
Gnawed all day, a steady decay
Set loose on the world, to my dismay
I throw my hands up to the sky and pray
to forgive my morals which I betray
that held back the dark I held at bay
Screeches echo, they want to play
My demons set free, and I must obey
I can only watch as my hands slay
Ripping through flesh, scarlet spray
Slicing my prey to put on display
A bloody bouquet
Gnawed all day, a steady decay
Set loose on the world, to my dismay
I throw my hands up to the sky and pray
to forgive my morals which I betray
that held back the dark I held at bay
Screeches echo, they want to play
My demons set free, and I must obey
I can only watch as my hands slay
Ripping through flesh, scarlet spray
Slicing my prey to put on display
A bloody bouquet

Lay With Me, My Love!
Always seeing you, but never me
Watching your life, so happy and free
Shadows I hide, waiting for you
Wishing you loved, just as I do
Razor cuts veins, I bleed for love
Never to know what she dreams of
So beautiful she sleep, I like to stare
But I never approach, I'd never dare
Waiting all night, until she wake
Watching her dress, I start to shake
"Why must I hide, she should be mine!"
Kick in the door, out comes a shriek
Forcing her down. so soft, so weak
Refusing to love, unable to smile
Tie her down tight,...

Hell's Gates
I tremble and fall on my knee
To behold what lay before me
A towering gate, licked with flame
My name up next, the keeper proclaim
The sins of my past I must now object
or my eternal soul, she'll gladly collect
I look back on my life, the harm I've done
The mistakes I've made, as father, and as a son
I lived my life, paid my dues
Repented with those I showed abuse
though my life does not end how I plan
I regret nothing, for I am but a man
So, if hell inferno is what I truly deserve
Then let's stop wasting time, I'm ready to...

A Poem to a Love, She Will Never See
These memories, I hold so dear
Of a long lost girl, I revere
Alone I dwell. they comfort me
Our talks of love, and what would be
They dance through my mind, all day long
Her sweet voice plays, a never-ending song
And I see her face, almost every night
Just to remember her smile brings me delight
Yet it tortures me so...
The sins of my past bind her to me
But she lives unknowing, happy and free
Cursed with these thoughts, and all I would say
On deaf ears they remain, to eat me away
When we both fell, we landed so hard...
Shattered my...

Blown Away
Fluttering, ever so gently
Dancing, ever so intently
Flow carefully with the breeze
Rhythmic tune, sway with ease
Twist and turn with glee
How exciting to be free
To prance, wafting in the air
Just too blissful to care
Dancing, ever so intently
Flow carefully with the breeze
Rhythmic tune, sway with ease
Twist and turn with glee
How exciting to be free
To prance, wafting in the air
Just too blissful to care

What is in a Lie?
What is in a lie?
To thrust the blade
And hit it's mark
The weaves we made
That lit the spark
Burns ash, our heart
We slash, our trust
Was sweet, turns tart
love deplete, turns to dust
You ask, what is in a lie
I answer you this
It crumbles the bridges that you make
No matter how right, it was a mistake
A lie is a vow, that binds evermore
Which can never return, as once before
To thrust the blade
And hit it's mark
The weaves we made
That lit the spark
Burns ash, our heart
We slash, our trust
Was sweet, turns tart
love deplete, turns to dust
You ask, what is in a lie
I answer you this
It crumbles the bridges that you make
No matter how right, it was a mistake
A lie is a vow, that binds evermore
Which can never return, as once before

When Light Comes To Fall
Bring your light, and you shall see
Just how gruesome dark can be
Mangled bodies burned your eyes
Summoned witches whisper my lies
We grab when weak, to snuff your spark
Drug bloody fingernails into the dark
Your light may come some day
But until then, your mine to play
Burn and blaze your cities of old
Stand to me, and I'll stand ten fold
Let's just see how long you last
When my time comes to past
Just how gruesome dark can be
Mangled bodies burned your eyes
Summoned witches whisper my lies
We grab when weak, to snuff your spark
Drug bloody fingernails into the dark
Your light may come some day
But until then, your mine to play
Burn and blaze your cities of old
Stand to me, and I'll stand ten fold
Let's just see how long you last
When my time comes to past

One Last Day
In my death
She comes for me
To steal my breath
With woeful melody
To hewn my soul,
On crude bone flute
With songs of ol'
My life dilute
Bring me pain
Bring me sorrow
One last day I wish to borrow
Pluck me straight from waist
For one last day, I wish to taste!
In that moment,
She stops to play
Contemplating,
One last day
Shrieking of laughter
But sets me free!
"And price of one day after,
Straight to hell with me!"
She comes for me
To steal my breath
With woeful melody
To hewn my soul,
On crude bone flute
With songs of ol'
My life dilute
Bring me pain
Bring me sorrow
One last day I wish to borrow
Pluck me straight from waist
For one last day, I wish to taste!
In that moment,
She stops to play
Contemplating,
One last day
Shrieking of laughter
But sets me free!
"And price of one day after,
Straight to hell with me!"

Lady Fruit Tree
Entangled by lust
Her words I trust
Lulled to sleep
In peace I'll weep
Her gentle stroke
Then choked by oak
Drug to dirt
With a spike insert
Afflicted with pain
To scream in vain
Hungry roots feed
To plant her seed
Sung to me
Her fruit, to be
Her words I trust
Lulled to sleep
In peace I'll weep
Her gentle stroke
Then choked by oak
Drug to dirt
With a spike insert
Afflicted with pain
To scream in vain
Hungry roots feed
To plant her seed
Sung to me
Her fruit, to be

Goodbye My Lovely Jasmine
(This is part one of a 3 part series, Goodbye My Lovely Jasmine, Jasmine's Return, Letter From Jasmine)
Words in my ear I can’t ignore
My sorrow and pain she adore
Caught in my mind, struggle for control
Poison words taint my soul
Help me!
My demon’s after me
No escape in which I can see
Razor talons rake my brain
Wake drenched in crimson rain
Another night forced by her will
Hands forced blood to spill
Shake and cry as I bleed
Slowly dying inside as she feed
No end, by her choice
Falling in love with her...
Words in my ear I can’t ignore

No escape in which I can see

Wake drenched in crimson rain
Another night forced by her will
Hands forced blood to spill
Shake and cry as I bleed
Slowly dying inside as she feed
No end, by her choice
Falling in love with her...
