POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
As a growing poet, I appreciate whatever comments that anyone cares to give to help me grow.
Death
"Let him consume you"
The shadows whisper as i die,
Intoxicated by my own fading breath,
I look death straight in the eyes.
I see more than just darkness,
Oblivion in its sweetest form,
I see more than just hatred,
Salvation that could hail a storm.
Staggering to my feet,
I sway to his sweet melody,
Where the notes bleed crimson,
Transforming screams into a rhapsody.
With lips as cold as ice,
He skimmed along my neck so pale,
Gracing all the bruises from my past,
Erasing the memories of a bitter tale. ...

Murdered Trust
A disintegrated longing,
A sentence never uttered,
A single broken promise,
Yet plenty of hurtful words.
Take a fleeting look at my anger
I hope it burns your eyes out
Take a lingering look at these tears
Who's the one crying now?
You promised me the world,
But clipped my wings behind my back,
Serenaded me with sweet sweet words,
Then made my sanity crack.
Barely standing before you
Completely utterly lost
Like a broken baby bird
In the raging storm tossed.
All i had was my faith in you,
But it was...

Back Again
Once again the sky grows dark,
Light abandoning this greyish realm,
Shadows return to their sacred homeland,
Malice and sorrow overwhelm.
What was pure now ashen black,
As peace now flees from chaos,
The midnight flame rips open old wounds,
The pain then engulfed the lost.
Everything, everything torn into bits,
They submit to this chain reaction,
A result of an endless pit of lies,
This terrible act of self destruction.
'Welcome home, mistress' they cackle in glee,
Their souless beings gather,
The familiar ice crept into...

Final Moments
Just one shot,
And it was all gone,
No more games, no more pain,
It was the end of the song.
That ringing blast,
Echoing in my ears,
As metal his flesh,
There's no time for tears.
Say goodbye,
The split second of a breath,
Inhaling those last moments,
Right before greeting death.
Lights flash like stars,
Twinkling out of sight,
Just like my own miserable life,
Pitch black against the light.
And it was all gone,
No more games, no more pain,
It was the end of the song.
That ringing blast,
Echoing in my ears,
As metal his flesh,
There's no time for tears.
Say goodbye,
The split second of a breath,
Inhaling those last moments,
Right before greeting death.

Twinkling out of sight,
Just like my own miserable life,
Pitch black against the light.

Round and Round
Round and round this ride doth go,
Faster and faster then it did before,
It creaks and groans under the weight it bore,
Dismantling itself till it was no more.
Round and round it goes alone,
Till even the trees had turned to stone,
Hidden and abandoned, its existence never known,
Through the years, only its pain had grown.
Be rid of this world, is what it wished,
Spinning faster and faster on its little axis,
A strange creature that no one will miss,
It wanted to greet death with a welcoming kiss.
Insanity is poison, insanity is...

It creaks and groans under the weight it bore,
Dismantling itself till it was no more.

Insanity
All the demons had their fun,
Now my soul is dead and gone,
Watch my hopes go into flames,
one by one.
Feel the darkness creeping in,
Shadows come to claw at skin,
Life was slowly draining from me,
Sayonara,
Hello, my dear child,
You seem familiar,
Have we met before,
Lay your broken heart,
Into oblivion,
Close your eyes now.
Insanity,
Time itself is dying.
Psychopathy,
I am fading into nothing.
Insanity,
Memories turn into dust.
Captivity,
Why don't you just surrender...

HomeComing
The smell of rain reaches not this land,
Neither does beauty nor love,
Ugly things come forth from darkness,
As it is forgotten by the world above.
Once upon a time did this magic place prosper,
Based upon an intricate matrix,
Now that the catalyst had turned to dust,
Blood and poison is all that will mix.
One cannot say this place as barren,
For the beings here are not dead,
But neither are they truly living,
They no longer know fear nor dread.
Tears have fallen,
Tears have dried,
Old wounds torn open,

How?
Look in the mirror,
What do you see?
What lies before you?
Or what they wanted you to be?
Scars of the past,
Have not yet faded away,
Retraced by trembling fingers,
The memories are still here to stay.
Sealed in a box,
Locked deep beneath the surface,
The whispers of a prayer,
To finally find a purpose.
Tell me how to breathe,
Once the air is poisoned,
Tell me how to dream,
When everything is dashed and broken.
With bloodied nails that stain the walls,
They grasp for the slightest hope,
Ten thousand...

Always The Same
A single window,
A thousand tears,
Stained in scarlet,
Painted with fear.
The window's sealed shut,
Frosted from the inside,
Purple-blue fingers try to scrape away,
Layer after layer of ice.
There is no escape,
There is no going back,
Its too late to regret,
When your bones begin to crack.
So it begins,
Death comes slow,
Agonizing as always,
But neither friend nor foe.
Under the snow,
Piled up so high,
Were others like you,
That were living to die.
What would you see,

Rouge
I forgot how lovely it was,
The color of liquid rubies,
Nature's hidden treasure,
Released by beautiful tragedies.
The sound of breaking skin,
That sharp sensation that was once lost,
A sharp blade is all you need,
And X marks the spot.
Breathe in its sickly sweet scent,
Far more intoxicating than any flower that was ever plucked.
Such a sensational phenomena,
That it was something even mother earth failed to reconstruct.
Warm when fresh,
Darker when touched by time,
The shadow's nectar,
Ever so sublime...

Return
Everything is turning to ashes,
Right before my very eyes,
The light fading like before,
The shadows rise to embrace me.
Hot tears run down a face made of stone,
Only to turn into icicles and shatter like glass,
All that remained were bitter memories,
And mocking tales of a once sweet past.
Though broken, it reflected its dim light,
To finally experience as to what was joy,
After years of sorrow, suffering and darkness,
This miracle that supposedly was sent from up high.
Just a taste,
Just...one......

Butterflies in Camouflage
A thousand wings lay before me,
Turning to dust with fading colors,
Memories engraved in those tinted frames,
Reflecting the lives of our long gone brothers.
Symbols of happiness, freedom and change,
Fly fleetingly by our self shortened lives,
Bleeding for others against our will,
In life, we do what we must to survive.
We live because we are alive,
Though with different colors we are the same,
Speak to me about the definitions of a barbarian,
Whom kill their own kin on a false claim.
In hundreds and thousands, they...
