POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm an amateur writer. I just hope my poetry is pleasing and understandable.

Through the dark and long alley of time,
A voice echoes along the cobble stone,
And bounces off the fabric of reality,
A voice of mystery,
Who could it be.
Sadism,
A sad time for England,
No stone unturned,
How did he get away.
Doctor or scientist,
Maybe a sailor,
A serial professional,
Maybe there was a confessional,
Because of a profession,
Women were slain.
What did they do,
Did he know not,
Maybe it was they who knew,
How could a spirit contain so much rot,
A dark chapter indeed. ...

live, love, life
Welcome to the brave new world,
To the orbiting playground of sentient wonder,
To a world where choice and freedom becomes more acceptable each day,
To a world where the body is free to be explored,
And sexuality is a science.
Welcome to a world with different faces,
All coming from different places,
Each holding their own secrets,
And hiding their own mysteries.
Welcome to a brave new world where we can never be sure,
To a brave new world that's never been before,
Welcome to life,
My friend,
All of it,
I hope you spend.

silent dreams
A shimmering diamond stands before me like a mirage in the desert,
Her figure has been silhouetted by the sinking afternoon sun,
Only the shine of her beautiful blonde hair peaks out of the shadow,
And she seems to sing without a sound.
A strange dream indeed.
The light of the day is surreal,
It strikes the eyes making the world sepia,
It causes me to stumble toward the striking vixen,
And through her shaded veil she appears to chuckle momentarily with her hand over her mouth.
I find myself reaching upward from the dirt below,
Reaching...

the mischievous queen of beauty and deception
O' sweet and gorgeous goddess,
You have me possessed and no less,
Your beauty and your dress,
Your divinity,
You have me under duress.
O' sweet maiden of mischief,
Your earthly presence is a gift,
As your heavenly song falls over the realm,
Defeated by the temptation of the divine call of the seductress.
O' sweet deity of mischievous deception,
Of temptation and beauty,
Your existence is an illusion,
A perversion of nature,
However, sweet queen,
For the gift of your ascended presence,
I donate...

Hurt on Earth
Release me into universe
On Earth I am quite useless
Send my soul up in nature's hearse
Let me end this curse
On Earth my thoughts get worse and worse
All the pain and the hurt
On Earth I am quite useless
Send my soul up in nature's hearse
Let me end this curse
On Earth my thoughts get worse and worse
All the pain and the hurt

sleep
I rest peacefully in natural routine,
close to slumber,
my mind wanders to the surreal and the serene,
finding no where to go and nothing that means,
I hope to find peace inside of a dream.

I'm in love with a nightmare
What do you need
To take my words heed
Could I offer you speed
To help your heart blush and bleed
What do you want
It's my heart you haunt
Could I offer you a joint
To help you see the point
What would you like
I don't want to fight
How about I give your drink a spike
Shall we induce life tonight
Where do you want me
To travel the high seas
As far away as you can decree
As if I were just another no body
To take my words heed
Could I offer you speed
To help your heart blush and bleed
What do you want
It's my heart you haunt
Could I offer you a joint
To help you see the point
What would you like
I don't want to fight
How about I give your drink a spike
Shall we induce life tonight
Where do you want me
To travel the high seas
As far away as you can decree
As if I were just another no body

my heart aches
I can't do this life anymore
My temple has been stormed by the soldiers of war
My emotions have been treated like that of a whore
And now the only reason I live is because of the law
I'm in a dreadful mess
The next day of my life is just a guess
My heart has no one to possess
All because I miss a girl in a dress
I have no home
My loved ones make me feel alone
The pain of it all pierces to the bone
I just wish I could have my girl on the phone
I can feel myself going insane
The hurt purges my brain
It makes me...

let loose this chained up whore
It's like letting a dog off of his chain
When I am let loose
The frustration of imprisonment is that profuse
All the while I dream about your body to use
To abuse
No excuse
Just the truth
When I catch you
I want nothing more than my jaws to close on you
It's true
When it happens
You won't even know who
Bit you
To take away your preciousness
Your innocence
Would greatly pardon my sentence
My imprisonment
When I am given the chance
I will take your hand in this furious dance
You can take my lance
And...

a thought
When does it ever get better
A cliché of a thought that has lasted millennia
A thought that never changes
Not once throughout the ages
It is impossible not to think it
We all do so so quick
For our lives are centric
We are one in spirit
The idea is a driving force
We strive when we want more
The thought the drives the course
The thought is our horse
Are we ever tired
Is it just the thoughts that have transpired
Our brains are constantly wired
A feat to be admired

Thin edge
There is an edge to life,
A thin line and then a cliff.
This edge is where we find the most variation,
As each member of our species fights for their survival.
It's a constant marathon,
Falling behind won't mean trampling,
It will mean falling,
Falling to the harsh realities.
We must keep running to survive,
Succeeding to progress,
To be alone is failure,
With nowhere to go,
We die alone.
A thin line and then a cliff.

Succeeding to progress,
To be alone is failure,
With nowhere to go,
We die alone.
