POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The Lyrical Anarchist
Heart full of pieces
Broken,
Tattered,
Fractured,
Severed,
Ruptured,
Mangled,
Damaged,
Dismembered,
Tiny shards of broken crystals
razor-edged slicing and piercing
Hardened heart filled with the pieces

Mother's Gift To Her Children
The wind sweeps across the freshly cut grass that blankets the park across the way.
Off to the South the storm clouds roll in, slowly and methodically, transforming the sky from blue to shades
of Grey. It seems almost unearthly being able to see the different weathers mold and mesh themselves
together in an ever changing sky. Out here, in the peace and serenity of a small town, you can watch in awe some of the true wonders that nature has to offer. It's not like that of big city living where everything passes by with intensity and fervor. You are deaf and blind to what really...

Every Night
Every night I lay there
alone in the darkness
etching into the wall
some magical symbol
ripped from ancient lore
It's a spell of love
and a cruse of fate
Because it's fate my love
that made this bed cold
and my arms so empty
the hands that trace this symbol
into this wall shrouded in the darkness
should be strumming your hair
and pulling you tight
but not tonight my dear
nor the next so it seems
Because the spell I cast
upon this damnable wall
will not see light of day
until another night
another night like this...

Emotional Rain
Just imagine the stars
How bright they must be tonight
Magnified be the teardrops
Brought forth by all our pain
It's amazing how cruel life can be
How heavy her hand can feel
All we want to do is smile
But yet the teardrops fall like rain
There is no time for holding these days
Nor a second for a simple kiss
Just the time to stare at the moon
While crying out in vain
All we need is each other
To make it all go away
Like an emotional drug
That takes away the pain
It's just so hard to keep an open heart
When the world is out to...

Lover's Pose
We came into life this way
Bare to the world
Our legs neatly folded
Arching up toward our chest
With our back slumped
As if to greet our knees
But never quite touching.
We then grow older
We learn to walk
And talk
But every night
We return there to sleep
Slipping into the dream world
With the same pose
We came into this one.
The years go by
And we grow up
But nothing changes
Save the addition of another
The other half of our soul
The one who was already there
At least in our hearts
For those first precious...

The Lost One
How are you? How do you feel?
Words spoken still and you are thrilled?
You look at me with filth in your eyes,
Look at you, look at me how are we?
Leave me alone, go away you sick fuck.
How dare you treat me like shit?
What am I, am I you?
You tell me, you ask how and why.
Look me in the eye and what do you see?
You see me, am I you?
What's that I see in your face?
A frown, a tear, and a fake smile,
Is it you or is it me?
I'm going insane, corrosion in my brain.
Let my eyes burn, you hurt my feelings.
What are you? What are we?...
Words spoken still and you are thrilled?
You look at me with filth in your eyes,
Look at you, look at me how are we?
Leave me alone, go away you sick fuck.
How dare you treat me like shit?
What am I, am I you?
You tell me, you ask how and why.
Look me in the eye and what do you see?
You see me, am I you?
What's that I see in your face?
A frown, a tear, and a fake smile,
Is it you or is it me?
I'm going insane, corrosion in my brain.
Let my eyes burn, you hurt my feelings.
What are you? What are we?...

Comfortably numb?
I can't feel it anymore
You've broken me
You don't even know it
I can't take it anymore
Show you wear it hurts?
There is no pain I am receding
If I show you all will change
this inner turmoil
This awful rage
Step away from me
Yet don't leave
I'm going to cry
I'm tortured at this moment
But I hate myself for it
I act like a child
You can't understand
This is not how I am
Stop being so perfect
Don't be so lovely
Or
Love me in return
You've broken me
You don't even know it
I can't take it anymore
Show you wear it hurts?
There is no pain I am receding
If I show you all will change
this inner turmoil
This awful rage
Step away from me
Yet don't leave
I'm going to cry
I'm tortured at this moment
But I hate myself for it
I act like a child
You can't understand
This is not how I am
Stop being so perfect
Don't be so lovely
Or
Love me in return

My Pain
Carried away for life
Help me live
For I cant hang on much longer
It wont be long
Help me please
My life has become shorten
My days have become darkened
My soul has become depressed
The life I want to live
Isn't at all like this one
Help my body
For i have fallen to the ground
No one will help me... Why?
my soul can't be permanently changed
My pain is inevitable
Your pain is Optional
Help me live
For I cant hang on much longer
It wont be long
Help me please
My life has become shorten
My days have become darkened
My soul has become depressed
The life I want to live
Isn't at all like this one
Help my body
For i have fallen to the ground
No one will help me... Why?
my soul can't be permanently changed
My pain is inevitable
Your pain is Optional

What Forever means
It wasn't that long ago
we were saying our good byes
but I never got to say thank you
for all the things that you taught me
most importantly what forever means
at least when it came to me and you
It means until you're tired
and don't want to play anymore
or until I'm useless
and you've got all your kicks
Was it forever until you're quit
or forever until you're bored
So tell me the truth
did you ever really care?
Did you love that boy you held?
Did you just use him like the others?
And toss him when he was spent? ...
