POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Naturally Bound
I am the weary traveler, and you the raging Sea,
The boat i'm in is sinking, and I wait for you to drown me.
I am The Door locked shut, and you, Dear, are a Key,
Push all the right tumblers and you just might get to peek.
You, Dear, are a Rose, and I a passer by,
Pulled in by your fragrance and the way you catch my eye.
But also you're its thorns, which puncture through my skin
If I should try to pluck you from the Garden that you're in.
You, Love, are the Moon, And I the Tempest of the Sea,
and when you pull me as I push we rage so naturally.
I am the...

It's Just A Dream, Steven
It's just a Dream, Steven, soon you will wake,
so Dream unbelievably until you reach the gate.
Dream of a place where we just might belong,
Someplace far away that wont chime lonesome songs.
It's just a Dream, Steven, and soon you will sleep,
Soon it will end, dear Friend, please do not weep.
It's all that you are, it's all that we are,
Billions of Dreams made of dust in the Stars.
Don't hang your head now, the next sequence comes,
If we're lucky our next Dream could be the one.
It's just a Dream, Steven, and it will pass soon,
For now just let go...

Lullaby
Its time for sleep, we say goodnight,
I kiss Her lips, She kisses mine.
And in that kiss a lovely toxin,
Sedatives to bring sweet dreams a'knockin.
And in the morning when we wake,
We'll be lost inside eachother safe.
I kiss Her lips, She kisses mine.
And in that kiss a lovely toxin,
Sedatives to bring sweet dreams a'knockin.
And in the morning when we wake,
We'll be lost inside eachother safe.

Some Poetry/Prose on God.
Please... PLEASE tell me what you think of it if you have a minute.
I'd like to know if others believe something similar, and if not I'd like to know what one does believe.
You are, I am, completely alone in the universe
Because you are all created in and of the same mind.
What you see is only a projection by your own mind
Projecting different variations of yourself and
Creating the world around you inside of you,
In your mind, my mind, where we are one and I am All.
So you see, I am God. You are God. WE are God.
But we're so stubborn we made us...

Nothingness
If I woke up blind and couldnt see,
Would the world still hold Beauty for me?
If only sounds, and touches cold,
Could help me see what now cant show,
How would I know that I exist?
My World would become nothingness.
Nothingness with sounds of life.
Would I still feel like I'm alive?
If I woke up blind to everything,
Do you think that's when I'll start to see?
Would the world still hold Beauty for me?
If only sounds, and touches cold,
Could help me see what now cant show,
How would I know that I exist?
My World would become nothingness.
Nothingness with sounds of life.
Would I still feel like I'm alive?
If I woke up blind to everything,
Do you think that's when I'll start to see?

Cataplexie Du Réveil
Suddenly, I awoke from a Dream,
Silence clung to everything.
Everything, save an empty chair,
Which rocked and creaked with no one there.
I tried and tried to cry "Help me!",
The chair stopped moving abruptly.
The moon shined brighter in my room,
Which now seemed somewhat like a tomb.
Then Silence fell with morbid chime,
A ringing in back of my mind.
I couldn't move or talk or scream,
I thought I fell back into Dream.
My fear and anxiousness were met,
With just an empty silhouette.
It stood next to me by the bed,
Just...

On The Solitary Mind
How Beautiful, the solitary mind, woefully so
For in its self it finds both Peace and Hell.
The wisdom of a thousand pains,
The guilt and shame and pitty for ones self.
The sweet caress of Dreams of Lovers songs,
The loneliness when Lovers Dreams have gone.
How beautiful, the solitary mind, but who would know
Save Poets, Orphans, Ramblers, and all of those alone?

Goodbye
By the time you read this I'll already be gone,
Don't take it so badly, it's been coming for so long.
Don't blame it on yourself, the one to blame is me,
I brought my destruction, now in this bed I'll sleep.
I carried on so long with malice in my veins,
I tried so hard to kill it, alas, it yet remains.
Endless days were followed by loneliness at night,
feelings of worthlessness have killed my will to fight.
something inside of me, something inside my soul
Led me to this moment and gave me no control.
Perhaps it was just me, and I deny the...

Fade out
I tried to Love you but you shit on my Heart,
You were broken inside, I had no chance from the start.
I gave you my money, I gave you my time,
Now all that I've got is this shitty ass rhyme.
You made a fool out of me, you fuckin bitch, I did, too,
But I'll save the knife in my back so I can use it on you.
I gave you everything that I had in my Soul,
But it wasnt enough to fill that bottomless hole.
You pushed me away until I didnt pull back,
And fuckin shoved in my face everything that I lack.
I wish I could say that I Love you like Sin, ...

When I'm Sitting Here
Sometimes When I'm sitting here
Surrounded by the sounds of Denver,
I close my eyes and disappear,
Like I'm the Great Pretender.
I think of how the time has passed,
And if your Love is still the same.
Did You find yourself out there, at last?
I wonder if or how you've changed.
I know that I don't always write,
And I hope that you'll forgive me.
There's a Stranger in my eyes,
And I can feel it pulling me.
But you don't have to worry, Babe,
Cause while I'm sitting here in Denver,
I hear your voice through all the craze,
And I start to...

Waiting To Dream
It seems so easy to dream life away,
and then you realize that there are parts of life,
people, random forces of nature,
and beauty that you just cant dream of.
I wish to dream a dream,
From which I do not wake,
But, at least for now, it seems,
My Dream will have to wait.

Torture me
Dig into my skin
Torture me within.
Let me know I'm in your head,
If I wanted mercy i'd be dead.
Make me bleed out velvet streams,
And fill my heart with pleasures screams.
Torture me.
Torture me within.
Let me know I'm in your head,
If I wanted mercy i'd be dead.
Make me bleed out velvet streams,
And fill my heart with pleasures screams.
Torture me.
