POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
aponi
Alone, I travel by night,
The moon guides the way,
As I stumble into this forest,
My path intensifies, I wander astray
Globes of yellow, hiding beneath the brush,
Behind greens of hunger and browns of rage,
Creeping up closer, predators and prey,
Outnumbered, yet no fear perceived
Sense awakening, I close my eyes,
Feel the tropical air moisturize my skin,
I let it in, I let it in, I let it in
Here, I am predator. I know the way
of the Kingdom. Yet through the eyes of
dominance and higharchy, I'm seen as prey
...

new year
Let me put that behind me,
I will cross a new line, I will
seek the divide, a place I
will create my new life
I leave the demons behind me,
I let my spirit soar, I break
those shackles of regret and
lost hope, let them hang in
the Year of Chaos from
which they formed
I won't look back, I won't
wander off of my path, I'll
set my eyes forward and
I won't dread over aftermath
of my previous ally wrath
This is the new year, the time
to run and the time to fall, the
time for me to laugh and the
time for me to...

blank
Completely blank,
Cleared plate, a disk
without any tracks to play
Sometimes I feel
that way, yet I
don't know why,
I feel fine
I don't need preoccupation,
I don't need a task,
I'm perfectly content just sitting here,
bored, with pen and paper, daydreaming

god and goddess
An introduction, the
Couplet, a wonderful set,
having just met
He is she, they are one
Little children,
feeble minds,
imagination
Morphed from a star,
emerged from black mass,
of our universe
God and Goddess
***
The Goddess,
crashed, crippled,
then the stars aligned
rebirth, renewity
Heated heart,
Steamy mind,
Frame amaze
The God,
masculinity, steadfast,
yet free, childish
arisen from clouds of blue
Heart of play,
Hands of pleasure,
Mind of illusion...

acid rain
Clouds of gray hang above
us, like faded chandeliers in
an old, mildew-infested
Victorian masterpiece
Acid rain drenches us in
a blanket of hazard and
hostility, the infants scream
upon it's return, it's visitation
Melting
Burning
Skin shrivels,
Bones evaporate,
Brains dechay,
But our eyes remain
Seeing the mess in occurrence

apocalypse
We all have gathered here
on this soiled water
to watch the Apocalypse
The sun is falling
The thread has snapped
Slowly decreasing
darkening
cooling
destroying:
the sky, the air, the people
Life as we know it
will be consumed by
the Blight
and we cannot
escape,
preparation, my friend,
is key
Let's wait for star fragments
to scatter upon our streets,
unto our mad children,
scourge our lanky wooded allies,
munch on our beastly companions,
and incinerate us, this will
be...

mr mindless
You took the door out from my life
Your loss left me in grief
I sat there upon the pavement,
homeless, and you spoke words of
how you broke the rules of the game
I cried, my barred out mind
was twirling in an upwind, I
wanted to die, but on the
rope my grip remained
My savior came chanting to me,
a slick move, my former butterfly
lover, oh how I still crave his
touch, his love
But you, partying with pals,
strumming on your best friend
having a grand time, could care less of
me, almost murdered on the...

daydreaming
I stand and watch the crimson eyes
on the sand just passing by
like a child from the maroon sky
When I close my lids, time
stands still and space is diluted
like tripping over air, on a
hot elusive day in the field
Our maroon sky lights up even
the blackest of nights
like an angel outstretching
her aided caress
The test awaits us all, the
infants write their scripts upon
the wall of spacious downfall
I settle upon the ocean top,
slimy aliens dashing by, with
a flip and a flop of watery crop
The...

i wonder
I wonder,
What is our real identities and
why are they hidden from us?
We are a jumbled glob of mass
within a sphere of increased heat
that will eventually be devoured
by the monstrous star of life
The reason why we are all united
in this state will never be revealed,
only theoretically examaned, and
until proof surfaces, we're left in
wonderment and curiousity
What if we're here for a purpose?
To accomplish a plan of a God, but
instead we are murdering the Mother,
driving knives and poles into her skin,...

mother and father
How I wish I could put an end
to her misery, my mother sitting
there on her bed, dreaming of a
day when she'll be set free of
this catastrophe and menacy
How I wish I could put an end
to his manipulation, my father
battling my mother, a game that
has no rules but his rules, and
her cries at the end of the night
I sit here and wonder if it will
ever be over, and why he feels
like he needs to control her
My mother feels like a failure,
how I wish I could help her
Yet my kin and I can only
watch and wait,...

i miss you
The face of renewity
grazes like a realistic figure
across my mind
Your are perfect,
my own heart, the
one who keeps me sane
But the pain! Tell me, is
it completely over?
Two years, I will be fixed
I will return with flowers of
apology
I will be ready
Tell me the promise
you swore you'd keep, save, hold to your heart
Tell me, did you not say
you'd stay by my side?
The weather will be rough,
but we'll always endeavor
Remember?
I wanna make it with you

that dog
Oh Lord, see the dog
That dog, eyin' me like I'm a tv screen
Watchin' my show, everwhere I go
Oh Lord, see the dog
That dog got his eyes on me
He pullin' me in, puppy eyes
Puppy eyes in disguise
Shameful dog, oh Lord
That dog, eyin' me like I'm a tv screen
He's fixated on me, just me
That dog, eyin' me like I'm a tv screen
Watchin' my show, everwhere I go
Oh Lord, see the dog
