POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
NA, Your Lives, and Mine
Your stories speak to me
giving me strength and resolve
in the suffering you felt
i have no right to cry tears for you
because my pain does not match yours
nor yours mine
i know just this
why you came and how you came to know
of your addictions
just like I
I see your visions
of your past
and what you thought of when you thought of the future
you awoke one morning and cried tears for no reason
a blind message from your spirit
from the God within telling you
what youre doing to yourself
you went to the mirror
and saw...

Why
Lights above my head speak
idiosyncracies of the mind
why
my heart beats within
a vessel of love
for others but not for myself
why
a spirit roars freedom
riping at the bars of the cage
why
tears trace my soul
not daring to escape
fleeing my eyes in moments of weakness
why
words pound at the back of my head
your compliments are my insults
your smile matches mine
while mine are a mask of the pain I truly feel
why
Looking deep within
Looking everywhere but within
to just find the answers
and all you can...

Ghost
You see me
In darkest night I am the pawn of the shadows
sinking in fear
in doubt
in invisibility
seemingly revealed to the world
but egregious secrets haunt my mask
I hold a sword ready to slash the soul of my enemies
but my heart holds back the blade's ready blow
I Hear the hallowness of eternity
Its Live Death that reaches for me through the foggy uncertainty of thought and words
words that preach
the latent powers that i give form but lends no strength
They are ready for me
Ready for me to Open the door and Leave this World
and...

Sinful Love
I hear
you, in the darkest depths of the night, I see you
In
dreams, In Fantasy, In every moment of nightime sleep
You haunt
my dreams like a fantasy in waiting
As your
body comes nearer and nearer unto me
It makes
me question the very fabric of my being
I
question every esoteric thought and hermetic feeling within me
I see
your lustful, sinful being come closer and closer to me
And Now I
see That I Love Him, Every Part of His Heart and Mind belongs to Mine
And Mine
to His
And now i
See
That
Slave becomes God...

What You Have Now
Your Pain
is a Shell That
Blinds
your Understanding
It is a
darkness that binds you from the deep
and
carries you into the bounds of undeniable grief
Your Pain
is a Shell that Shapes your Belief
And names
your heart a traitor and enemy
and you
turn to your own blind sight
to guide
you through the vast uncertainty that is eternity
Each Day
You Grow Older, and You See Your Own Vengence Grow
Towards
Not any Outward Enemy, But you Come To See
That Your
Enemy is Yourself, your own darkness, your own misguidance...

Silence I Can Hear You
I sit in a circle of candles.
Only they can hear me.
My prayers, my songs.
My pleas and hopes for a life I can be proud of
I have broken through the veil
I am unsealed to unseen forces
They confide in me.
I sit in a circle of candles
And listen to the stories of silence
The songs of the unseen and unheard
Life found in morbidity of nothing
How quaint
Death is found in the places where life is most evident
I sit in this circle and listen to the beauty of silence
Death flees me
For I welcome his stories too
And silence's...
Only they can hear me.

Scream for Me
you Light a Candle.
Before the Mirror you sit
Enthraled in Shadow
"Only I exist"
Your reflection speaks back to you
"Only WE exist"
You are one face
but your voices are many
you stand before me everyday
and make yourself into something new
unreal
only I am a reflection of what you truly are.
Scream for Me
I look at the mirror
My reflection talks back
My reflection cries
My reflection sighs
My reflection becomes a sheild
And gets rid of pain before I can
My reflection...
it doesnt show who I am...

What the Soul Does...
You go within.
Your Heart is a Labrynth
This is that part
you cannot embrace
the are doors within
locked barred entry, only avenues of a torn spirit
I turn to East
A door unhinges.....wisdom, intellegence.
I leap for the wisdom
but I see myself criying aloud in the place of desolation
I turn to the south
a door opens, one of love and passion
there i see judgement..condemnation without equal
I turn to West
a door of emotional boudaries, secrets hidden behind happy words...

Being Denied By Yourself
Lately Ive been thinking of you
The sounds that preach
silence and serenity.....peace with yourself..or is it myself, now?
Ive been alive all this time
yet im denied by my own ghost
I let the sun rise
and let the moon laugh at me
I know theres little use of crying
because im wide awake, and now the pain, im just used to
Walking the streets after dark
wishing my heart never met truth
stepping aside from the anger
knowing spaces in between
is where i can feel you
all these words that mean nothing...
its just not what i believe in ...
