POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write about life, love, pain and drugs. I have all these thoughts shouting for attention, sometimes I can summon the strength to grab a few of the louder ones and put them on paper.
The Ramblings of a Love Drunk Buffoon
I love this women so much
teehee,
she haunts my every day,
I feel her with me
in my mind
and as far as that
I have little else
to say...
[Blank]
I need this women very much
I love her in every way,
I need this women very much
through out both night
and day
She brightens up
my darkest thoughts
and challenges my mind,
this blue haired beauty
I had such fortune
to find.

You Left Me
You left me for a month
or three,
next I saw you
you'd grown a dick
and were relishing
in raping my heart
Scouring any vestiges
of hope for happiness
with you
and killing my dreams,
all the things I'd hoped to do
with you
After I watched
my light fall apart
I spent veritive eons
caught up on what we'd had
near the start,
something beautiful
and bright,
a true work of art.

How?
How can you say such hurtful things?
Because when I think about you
and all the senseless loss...
It feels like my mind
is melting,
my heart
is being stabbed
and my soul
is being ripped from my body
It's not about
where we've been,
what's been done
or that fallacy of love
infatuation
But rather it's
the things we never ended up doing,
all the places
I'd once hoped to see us going,
the loss of hope
for us
and all my dreams to boot.

Blood
On the walls
floor
ceiling
and door
It oozes
it drips
it floods
and it pours
This house
is my heart
and at the moment it hurts
Blood gushes out the power outlets
and squirts out of the fan,
it rises out the floor boards
marring any idea of who I am
The blood quickens
congeals
then clots,
a scar across my soul
and in the aftermath of all this blood
it doesn't feel like it'll ever be whole.

All Out Motherf%@ģing War
A slight shift in the air
a steady rhythm
pulsing out across the plain
a drum roll to the oncoming chaos
as through the mist they came
They came by tens
by hundreds
by thousands
forming a phalanx
and falling in to order
The atmosphere was electric,
all tension taught
as the men waited
for the battle
soon to be fought
A wave of cavalry led the charge
leaving infantry in their wake
as many galloped to the gallows
skewered by so many archers arrows,
their horses...

More Than Words
I just want to hold you tight
to silence your troubles
and make everything alright
There's a safety in each other's arms
a warmth that gives me hope,
a comfort in your warm embrace
and the brush of face
to face
I could spend years exploring
your enigmatic eyes
so full of wanton thoughts
and more than mere months on your mind
There's so much more
your lips
your thies
and all that lies between
your smell
your poise
your grace
you're beautiful
is what I mean.

Sorry
When there's so much you want to say
but you don't think it'll ever be enough
When you've fucked up so far
that a place where you haven't
is an alien concept
When you've done something so painful
you can't imagine doing it
When the world just became a strange
and unfamiliar place
When your not sure your worth forgiving.

I'm Good
I'm good
but I'm not,
all's right
but I'm shot
I try to find the words
to say what I mean
but all that comes out
looking back
sounds obscene
I'm fine
but I'm hurting
I'm trying to handle my shit
but the words won't fit
I have a hold on happiness
but it's not easily kept
and the way life's been going
I'm hoping to wake up in an icy sweat
Consequences
responsibility
you have to keep your head on straight
shai away from hate
and avoid being a reprobate
You have to be there for your...

It's all that you see
that you think
that you know,
lighting up the evening
with a splurg of rainbow
All that you think
that you think
that you know,
the world is going crazy
and it started
with a glow
It's all that you feel
as the world starts to grow,
the paints running up the walls
and my body's caught in the flow,
it's all just too beautiful
both up high
and down low...
"Could it be any other way?"
"Everything is and couldn't be any other way."

Fluctuations
Fluctuations
in tone and pitch,
bars and waves
beyond the scope
of average imaginings
We spend our days
devining reason from rythm
riding the waves
of forever oscillating wubs
tripping over ourselves
to the mind-warping treble
and body-bending base
It's a sick sound
filthy, fetid, foul
a bastardised beat
the product
of a magnificent mind,
a six by nine sub
and a bitch on heat
It's tantalisingly terrible
pouring out
from under your skin
with a sound so dirty
its very existance should be...

Thoughtlessness
Too preoccupied
with what's on your mind
to act
when the world starts to crumble
Too ensconced
with what's in your head
to stop
before you do something stupid
Too caught
by webs spun between thoughts
to think
before acting on
Thoughtlessness.

Let nothing trap you
spring forth
from the underbrush
that is life's troubles
Consume life
never leaving life
the opportunity
for counter-attack
Traipse
through troubles
and trifles
forever wary
of stifling stagnancy
See all
and everything in between
awe-bound by the beauty
in all that's perceived
Smile
that although
all's not well
it's far from worst.
