POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm Mike and I love to write poetry, but my goal is to write an entire book. I have always been into things that are other worldly, if that makes sense. I'm sure it does to most of you. My writing is either dark or philosophical or both
OLD MAN
OLD MAN
It's a fantasy, the thing I seek
A young lady so fair and meek
My minds been set without a break
My whole life long give or take
Disrespect and prejudice run so high
Old mans desire doth to him belie
Destructive fury, his heart doth churn
These lofty wants, within him burn
That's all I want, this sinful thing
To love to hold, new life to bring
She'd never have it, and never will
This old mans lust, will never thrill
Why cant he see it, how it should be?
Its not for real, just fantasy
You...

OUR PAIN
What will I do with this broken heart?
By the claws of this world, I am torn apart.
My smile taken from me so long ago.
In its place left a grimacing sickening glow.
A frown that is etched upon my grace.
A sea of Tears fall, erode my face.
Nothing left now just empty space.
What possessed me, that I should die this way?
I reckon its my lot is all I can say.
So I focused on all the Pain that I feel.
Only thing to me that makes life seem real.
My throat is bound with chain and reel.
My loins are pierced with zeal and...

MY JOY
The girl that I love
Has taken my heart.
Hope to be with her soon
And never depart.
Fourteenth of December
We’ll always remember.
The day was wrought with lust
Yet today there’s love and trust.
I hope I’m not a home breaker
Cause she’s my sweet lovemaker.
I hope you leave soon
This mess that you’re in.
So you will have soon
A new life to begin.
Been apart for so long now
It makes my heart so sore.
Hopes and dreams together again
My Joy that I adore.
Tomorrow together and we will see
The best day...
Has taken my heart.
Hope to be with her soon
And never depart.

Black Forest
The blackest of darkness descends upon me
Loneliness I feel just as the day before
Oh, how I long for a hope that I can see
Desperation and longing for ever more
Hot wind blows thru my bones as sharp as steel
Time keeps moving as I stand still
What will happen tomorrow only time will reveal
Wishing for remedy either potion or pill
Headlong to Black Forest that way I will go
The most powerful Wolfe is the one rejected
This hard road is evil, and the going is slow
Far off in the future where Love is protected
Loneliness I feel just as the day before
Oh, how I long for a hope that I can see
Desperation and longing for ever more
Hot wind blows thru my bones as sharp as steel
Time keeps moving as I stand still
What will happen tomorrow only time will reveal
Wishing for remedy either potion or pill
Headlong to Black Forest that way I will go
The most powerful Wolfe is the one rejected
This hard road is evil, and the going is slow
Far off in the future where Love is protected

Good Bye Joy
Brutal is a world where a Love can be lost.
I’d die to have it back now at any cost.
But I know in my heart what that cost would be.
We’ve discussed this together, You and me.
I tear up when I think of what we could’ve had.
The realities of this world can make me so sad.
Was it just fantasy myself I had to ask?
Or was it much deeper than an emotional mask?
I think it was deeper and Ill tell you why.
I may be a softy but takes a lot to make me cry.
The feeling’s still there maybe always will be.
Must continue our lives though,...

How do I become happy with just myself?
Something I ponder all of the time
Sitting watching my life upon the shelf
Day by day nothing changes, what a crime
Eternal, internal struggle and strife
Walking this planet with me alone
It has been this way all of my life
Oddity and rejection are all I've known
Being different from others makes me not worse
They shy from me and put me in fetter
So why feel I shunned only a curse
All knoweth I is I feel not better
So my chin will hold high
Will be bold with honor, fury...

The Eklastic Field
Thy skies are getting brighter
Thy wind is getting warmer
Movest Thee forward
Thou Thunder Stormer
Where is Thy Hell
That Thou used to raise?
Soaring low Soaring low
Without any praise
Why doest Thou cry?
Hast not Thou another?
No woman No child
Not even a mother
Thy days are so long
Thy weeks are so sure
No poem or No song
Could give Thee Thy cure
Only the touch of one
Tender and Sweet
Could restore Thy might
And makest sure Thy feet
What will it take to restore Thy might?
And who shall...
Thy wind is getting warmer

Time
Time is so precious
It escapes me
This ball turns fast
The Star sinks low
Only to meet me again
In the morning glow
Its fire has burned me
My wrinkles will show
Each week gets quicker
Each day is so slow
How alone I feel in something so vast
And how I fear a life so fast
My health has gotten worse
Not like I was young
Each day seems a beating
Devil is laughing and God he has stung
Old man you are yearning
Poison drips from my tongue
Like a bug in a whirlpool
Faster as he falls ...
It escapes me
This ball turns fast
The Star sinks low
Only to meet me again
In the morning glow
Its fire has burned me
My wrinkles will show
Each week gets quicker
Each day is so slow
How alone I feel in something so vast
And how I fear a life so fast
My health has gotten worse
Not like I was young
Each day seems a beating
Devil is laughing and God he has stung
Old man you are yearning
Poison drips from my tongue
Like a bug in a whirlpool
Faster as he falls ...

PROFOUND DISQUIETUDE
Silence is golden they always do say
Life's daily war with me will always betray
Warring demons screaming in my head
My mind screams back with violence instead]
[I waited here for you for so very long
What did I do for Gods sake did I say something wrong
I don't know cause you wont say
So I wait here for another disquiet day]
[What am I waiting for and why do I cry
Deadly secrets buried here till the day I die
Nothing is for quiet and nothing is for sure
This seems to be my lot and there seems no cure]
[I waited here for you for so...
Life's daily war with me will always betray
Warring demons screaming in my head
My mind screams back with violence instead]
[I waited here for you for so very long
What did I do for Gods sake did I say something wrong
I don't know cause you wont say
So I wait here for another disquiet day]
[What am I waiting for and why do I cry
Deadly secrets buried here till the day I die
Nothing is for quiet and nothing is for sure
This seems to be my lot and there seems no cure]
[I waited here for you for so...
