POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hello There. I am a young man of many things. I have big dreams that have stuck with me through the years. But I've always had an interest in writing poetry or songs. A little hobby that keeps me content
The End of Things
Vision fading fast
Feels like I'm falling to sleep
Don't know if I should cry or behave
Guess I'll do both
I'm scared of it
Almost forgot the feeling
I've been detached a little too long
Couldn't stop myself
Inflicting pain is like second nature
I wish for no one to succeed
As hateful as I am
I'm scared of it
Almost forgot the feeling
I've been detached a little too long
We're the end of things
Terror that will never be seen again
I think your dying old friend
Hurts like no other
I'm scared of it...

No More
Ah, you arrived
I'm so thrilled these days
Don't have a friend to call my own
Missed you boy
No one else will compare
I've been waiting a long time now
No more, I said no more
No more, I said no more
Raised you well
All my men laying dead
Should have kept my head down
Lay down my gun
I trust you won't shoot me
Cause after all your no backstabber
No more, I said no more
No more, I said no more
Not the guts brother
Jesus, tell me I'm dreaming
Your bullet scraping around my...

The Road to Seeder Hollow
Sitting by a fire
He feels a phantom pain
Like a lesser evil within the limb
Heart like a drum
Clicking along and within
Doubts and fears are coming alive
Days are numbered
The shock breaks the mirror
Like little gray hairs upon your head
Can't outrun destiny
Warrior tribes
And a psycho up ahead
Fate seems to be easily amused
Passing towns
Taking life on the way
He softly said enough is enough
Days are numbered
The shock breaks the mirror
Like little gray hairs upon your head
Can't outrun...

He Answered Back
I chose to carry a gun
You can't salvage anything from me
Never knew a settling man
Only scalp myself
Why follow you
No future where I'm going
Only have a kill contract to deliver
I belong to them
To find my own revelation
Maybe I can pull the devil out of me
That's the truth
I work better on my own
Digging two graves is the endgame
I chose to carry a gun
You can't salvage anything from me
Never knew a settling man
Only scalp myself
No safe passage
He damn well crippled me
Must be divine irony...

Dead Reckoning
The west is done
Like knocking on fallen doors
You should have seen them telephones
I saw near Minnesota
I'm like an old relic
Too slow to keep up anymore
World's already a mile down the road
It's not waiting on me
Dead I reckon
Nothing else to want
Killed for the wrong reasons
I'll tell you
Blood don't forget
Comes around in the end
Billy is running wild
Said he saw all of this coming
I suppose opium really does drive a man
To bleed from insanity
He's going to affliction
About a two day's...

At The Getting Place
Fear in my heart
Twelve gauge ready to go
An ominous noise in the distance
Friend pulling on me
On the road to hell now
Closing my eyes
Another shell ripping flesh
Distorted sounds cascade all around
A ringing in the ears
This could be my last
Slug in my leg
Pain riding up and down
The sun's harsh gaze beckoning
I just might follow
Fate stepped in again
My knee is a mess
And the side's all chewed up
But you don't look too well yourself
Let's savor our breath
Before you tell me where...

Ezekiel 25:17
See me standing here
I can feel it creeping up my spine
You haven't changed at all
Still kicking stones
I've come for you
Be waiting in the streets
Made a wager that we both lost
I loved you kid
And now it's time to go
Let faith decide who's leaving
Billy sends his regards
Wanted me to deliver you gently
But I respect you too much
To kill from behind
I've come for you
Be waiting in the streets
Made a wager that we both lost
I loved you kid
And now it's time to go
Let faith decide who's leaving...

The River Went Dry
He's with a whore
John never could resist them
It's why he's got a noose over his head
Law's inside him
Like a dog beat too much
I'll leave it up to you to finish him
I want it done quick
And make sure his river runs dry
Because we put him there
All up in that mess
I'll be in Chester
Digging up the last of it
Confederate gold is almost gone
Tell me charlie
Have I ever let you down
Some excuses are never forgiven
I want it done quick
And make sure his river runs dry
Because we put him there...

Had Dreams
Saw my father
In all that dark and cold
Somewhere on a mountain range
Carrying that fire
He was ahead of me
Didn't look back or say one word
Busy swaying in the wind
Then I woke up
Overmatched
Can't reason with it
Fingers pressing the trigger
Feel outdone
Thought it would ease
Ain't nothing has changed since
On an alcohol high
Was when I made my bones
Shot that boy right through his lung
Didn't feel a damn thing
I recall a medicine man
Who rode with us near Tennessee
He foresaw his own...

The Armadillo Saloon
Heard of a man
Who was blind in one eye
But is feared for his malicious grin
And trigger finger
I hear tall tales
And legends being made
Forever on call for the next day
Can't say I've seen him
Many of late leave without a goodbye
You must be looking for trouble
Following a madman
I hear tall tales
And legends being made
Forever on call for the next day
Your welcome to stay
I'll even send Bonnie up your way
Mind you, she isn't cheap
A quality woman
I hear tall tales
And legends being made...

From A Pale Horse
Traveling light
I figure you headed north
See bloody feet from where you are
In Comanche county
Left me for dead
Consider that my resignation
And from a scattershot
You will get it
Tread on me
What might have been
No second chance from all of this
Wasn't my choice
I'm just doing what I can
Made your bed from the start
Resting by moonlight
Seen the buffalo up in them hills
They have no fear of me
Or anyone else
Wish I knew that calm
Before life is torn from the reins ...

A Proposition
Six days from now
You'll proceed to another shore
One where most don't go
Or dare to tread
What if I said
You can remedy it all
Make peace with the hellfire
Sanction a release
But be warned
This proposition I offer
Can only be claimed in a week
Not a second less
You decide now
To be part of this world
Or take a step to the other side
I reckon you won't
You'll proceed to another shore
One where most don't go
Or dare to tread
What if I said
You can remedy it all
Make peace with the hellfire
Sanction a release
But be warned
This proposition I offer
Can only be claimed in a week
Not a second less
You decide now
To be part of this world
Or take a step to the other side
I reckon you won't
