POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The Shadows The Light
One step from the Shadows,
One step from finding light.
Which one do I run to?
Which one, for me, is right?
Cant say I'm a good guy,
Nor can I say I'm bad.
I lean more towards the Shadows,
The only thing I often had.
One step from a new life,
One step from finding place.
I look more to the lights,
But often find a dark embrace.
Which way will I wander?
Which way is calling me?
Can I stay in the middle?
From both chains can I be free?
Feels good just to think so,
But who the fuck am I kidding?
Most think I'd choose the...

Ride The Horse
Pull The Rein And Ride The Horse,
The Road Is Much More Smooth, Of Course.
For When A Ride Takes All You Hide
And Fills The Emptiness Inside
Its Just Like Seeing Clouds Collide.
So Beautiful And So Surreal
That Chills Create A Body Thrill
And All The Ugliness You Feel
Is Suddenly Dispersed And Healed.
No More Pain Inside Concealed.

Save Me
There's Beauty in my eyes no more,
Most things in life i just abhor.
I try to see what lies in store,
I'm living,
But what the fuck do i live for?
The years go by, we live to die,
Putting such Hope into our lies.
If this is it I'll say goodbye,
Please save me,
Please save me from this lonesome life.
There's much I know I'm missing still,
But I cant find what I cant feel.
No Time to heal, no Time to kill,
I'm fading,
and there's no pills to cure my ill.
I've Loved and I've been cast away,
I've fought until a brighter day.
I've...

and there's no pills to cure my ill.

Dear Creator
Dear Creator,
I'd rather be dead than dying.
There's no point in trying
When all that you tell me
Just keeps me lying,
To me, to them.
I may be prying, but
Just grant me the Truth inside dying
And I promise your word I'll stop defying.

The Ones We Can Lean On
Dear Friend,
I know it’s been tough,
I know it’s been hard for you,
and you've had enough.
Now you don’t know what to do.
I know that you cry
behind closed doors,
cause it shows in your eyes,
those tears come more and more.
I know you feel alone,
and no friends come along,
but soon you will know
I've always been here to lean on.
When you can’t see light
on the darkest of days.
When your eyes lose their sight,
I'll be there to take you away
to a place where your love
wont all be in vain,
and...

About A Dream I Had Just Yesterday (I Wrote This Yesterday)
I had too much to Dream last night, so much I went and fell in Love with you
then got eaten by a giant cake that took me 6 years to eat my way out of,
at the end of which I went back to where I last saw you only to find a skeleton,
Crying for someone that it couldn't even remember. Looking back, I whispered
"I Love you" and that skeleton turned to dust and blew away. I stepped onto a clock
and it floated me away to a big cloud in the sky, above all the other clouds.
It was alive. I could clearly see veins running through it, and a big blue heart
pumping...

Get Out Of My Head
There's this thing up in my head, I cant break free,
Thoughts on top of thoughts building up inside of me.
Thought I could control it if I shoved it down,
And now this Madness inside me tries to break out.
I'm seeing red, wish I was dead,
These drugs aren't working
I cant get out of my head.
It's hard to breathe, starting to seethe,
Somebody save me
from myself, I'm on my knees.

I tried to escape, cant get away from me,
The only Peace I find is in my memories.
So I take another hit and pour myself a round,
Here's to the...

I Can Share This Poisoned Apple
Will You pull me, even if I push away?
Will you hurt me if I say that it's okay?
Will you kiss me with your poison lips,
Then bite me till sweet crimson drips?
If I let you in will you stay a while,
And whisper to me things so vile?
I'd let you, if you really wanted to,
Tear me into pieces
Just so you could be my glue.
You may do with me what you please,
Baby, just don't be a fucking tease.

Poison Me
Poison me. Poison me with thine lips.
Thy eyes tell me to run
But I yet long one more kiss.
Is it Bliss? It is Bliss
The way thy poison draws me in.
Poison me. Poison me beneath the skin.
Thy eyes tell me to run
But I yet long one more kiss.
Is it Bliss? It is Bliss
The way thy poison draws me in.
Poison me. Poison me beneath the skin.

Change
Its funny how much something can change the longer you let it take root inside you. How much everything can change when you let it sink into the fertile soil that is your mind. Take something small, like a Tree, for example, Its just a tree at glance. but have a seat with that tree, underneath it, perhaps, under cover of its shade, and just watch. Watch it as is blows in the wind, breathing the breath you give and giving you breath in return. It is only after you have given it a moments time, maybe a few moments, that you realize It is much more than a Tree. It is Beauty. It is a miracle. It...

Death Of A Fool
There's that loneliness I didn't want to come,
As I tip my glass to the rising sun.
There's these echoes of an old, dying Man,
Saying "Son, I hope you'll understand,
This Life, it overcomes a Soul,
And we're forced to watch with no control.
But someday soon, as sure as you and me,
I know you'll see why I had to leave."
The Time went by and the years passed slow,
Still I can say that I do not know,
Why He had to leave, why He could not stay,
Why He left me bound for disarray..
Sometimes I think that It was all He knew,
Cause...

Someday I'll Go
Out there beyond the Stars in Outer Space,
She waits for me to touch Her face.
I don't know how and I can't say when,
But I will kiss her lips again.
I'll fashion wings from bandages and Dreams,
And feathers plucked from the Lizard king.
Then soon will come the day I fly away,
Never to come back to this place.
I hope I lose myself out there somehow,
It's the only way She can be found.
I heard Her once, She was calling me,
Calling me back with songs She'd sing.
Since then my gaze has been fixed on the Stars,
How they pull me to where they...
She waits for me to touch Her face.
