POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been writing since age 6. My work consist of many dark themes and focus on the mental state of the narrator.
Free-Write (Divided We Stand)
This is a free-write.
Conservatives. Liberals. In the end we are all Americans
Americans with good hearts and major flaws
Americans that despite our short comings, still can stand tall.
In the end we all want the same things
Success. Love. Happiness. Respect. Peace within
What we have to do is stop pointing blame at each other
and instead find common ground, and uplift our sisters and brothers.
If we all want those 5 core things
Why don't we stop and work together to bring...
a brighter future for our youths
a world without hate? ...

Honor All
(Metal song that I did a while back)
Honour
The blacken sky looks down upon me
I feel the blood wrenching call
Guiding me to the final battle
Sword and Shield gives honor to all
The beating drum sounds deep inside me
Praise to the King. Hail to the gods
The Wind blows and I hear His voice
Assuring me that I will soon be Home
Battle On!
Honour the Highest!
Sacrifice the flesh
Born again
Into the Sky I go
To have everlasting rest
Serve the King! Hail to the Gods!
Victory is gained! Honour to...

Again
I’m glad you here
I didn’t think you would come
have a seat
let’s try to work this out
Yes, I know I messed up
and your heart is broken
but there is a way to mend
there’s a way to begin
Again
I’m not giving ultimatums
I’m not trying to force you out
I just want to say ‘I’m sorry’
for not fighting for us
And I know I pushed you away
into the arms of another
and I didn’t have the strength to carry the load any longer
I’m hurting too, but...

I'll Never Tell
I'll never tell
I'll never breathe a word
I'll turn away from the bruises
and forget what I overheard
There is no pain
There's no broken bones
I'll cast away your screams, into the unknown
Never did he take your innocence
or leave your blood stained on the bed
He didn't raise a fist to you
It's all illusions in my head
I'll never tell
I'll never say a word
Even on this cold night
as your body lays beneath the earth
I'll never tell
I'll never breathe a word
I'll turn away from the bruises
and forget what I overheard
There is no pain
There's no broken bones
I'll cast away your screams, into the unknown
Never did he take your innocence
or leave your blood stained on the bed
He didn't raise a fist to you
It's all illusions in my head
I'll never tell
I'll never say a word
Even on this cold night
as your body lays beneath the earth
I'll never tell

No One Else
(Acoustic style.Short and sweet. I don't know how I feel about this one, but tell me what you guys think)
Do ya remember those nights
by the fire
wine glass filled up and our cheeks like roses
Vinyl record was playing our song
as we held each other close and danced in the moonlight
I'm reminiscing on the times that we shared
and the tears that were shed
it all was worth it
Through the broken glass and the faded scars
I still smile, cuz I know in my heart
that
Our love soar high in the heavens
Our love is richer than gold...

Back Home
(Still tweeking.
Acoustic/country)
Back Home
V1:
It's been three days and he's still awake
Pouring his problems down the drain
He's out of a job
Out of a dream
so he drown another to escape reality
He cries out for mercy, to a God he doesn't know.
He cries out for forgiveness, hoping that it will save his soul
The path he's traveling is a dark road, but little does he know- God is taking him back home
to a place with no sorrow,
and where the streets are made with gold
Chorus:
Back home

Phantom of The Night
A.N: I wrote this with a singer in mind. This has a dark feel to it with only the piano and strings backing it(maybe percussion).
Again, W.I.P
(V1)
Promises, broken promises
Weightless words falls heavy in my mind
Silence, oh the silent
Pleads, are washed away by your past lies
No more, am I falling for the words you never said
The I love you, no one above you's are fading away and left for dead
The arms I once sought
Are forgotten and lost
Oh, I should have known
love blinded my soul
(CH)
I didn't see

Keep The Dream Alive (Rough)
A.N: I jotted this down earlier today, while reading the paper about the recent murders and the lack of change in our community, here in Baltimore. This is an open letter to the world. We need to be the change.Now.
(This is still a W.I.P . As you can tell, this does have a 'hip hop' feel to it, however I want to incorporate other elements after I am finished the final draft)
They say 'we are the world.' they say 'we are the future'
They say they 'need a savior to offer absolution'
Yet they put our youth in jail cells and institutions
' complain about the...

Five AM
This was a small piece I did a while ago.
I look at you, seeing your soft skin glowing in the sunlight.
Its morning and I know I should be gone but somehow for some reason I am still here, holding you as you silently sleep.
Just a few hours ago we were tangled in each others bodies. Passion, greed and lust rolled up in one.
I had said, I loved you but maybe you didn't hear me because you only looked through me before turning your back.
"Im loosing myself in you." My voice is harsh, foreign to my own mind.
Is this what...

One Act Of Kindness
The challenge was to write a 250 words or less short story.]
The harsh liquor burnt like acid as it made its way down Dorian’s scratchy throat. The stormy skies mimicked her mood, constantly reminding her of her agonizing past.
“Hey, you okay?”
Dorian snapped her head up. “I’m bursting with happiness.” She said dryly.
“You look terrible.”
“Do you not have anything better to do then to talk to a stranger?”
“Nope.”
“Look man, I do not know you nor do I want to. So just run along to your high priced house and spoiled family.”

A song I was working on. It is a post-hardcore song(clean vocals and screams)It's not my best, but I decided to post anyway, it can't hurt :)
[Screams]
oops, I pulled the trigger
Never have I been so happy
to see you on the floor
Rum splattered on the ground
As I fire the last round
Let me drink the last drop
til its none left to go around
[Clean]
I plead
As I fall on my knees
Cleanse me
Forgive all evil deeds
I never wanted it to be this way
(Be this way...
