POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Sewn Shut
Revisited pastimes showcase failures of long ago
Scratching the irritated skin of potential regrets
The caress of this dogmatic state fails to soothe
Deep under those fears of the unknown, it crawls
Resistance to change drowns the seeds of opportunity
My thoughts are swayed into rivers of intolerance
Inertia lulls deprivation into a false sense of security
Bound by the chains of stagnation,I choose to remain
A renewed belief in uncritical thinking follows me home
The hindrance of my limitations buries me in ignorance ...

Lady Darkness
The finest chapter of my existence mourns in sorrow
My life lays quietly in a realm of tormenting mist
The wind carries a burning hunger inside The Shadow
Time's distant voice fades away from its evil twist
At the very heart of my grief appears a horde of lies
My soul rides on to embrace the Mistress of Sin
Shall the serenity within my slumber awaken and die?
The horizon stalks the dark path of a sealed coffin
The Bride of Chaos soars on the breeze of The Heavens
Her clouded eyes reflect a lust inflamed with desire
She mates with a demon's...

Chill of Dawn
Welcome to life's open cell
Shelter's found in this living hell
Hopes are rare, but nothing's gone
All is locked inside, forever long
A chill of new tears apart my salvation
And closes in on an overtaken fury
That trails alongside the path to ruin
Faces of dawn break the surface
Of my coated passion
The mirror draws me to the edge
Of my private temptation
My heart pounds away
To the graceful echo
Of death's soothing lullaby,
As the dark side
Of a lonely evening
Shines through a crippled dream ...

Moonless Night
Arise, silent traveler of worlds gone by
May your evil glance awaken the sleeping night
So deep and cold, your presence blinds the sky
The far side of loneliness shines so bright
A breathtaking world of endless temptation
Where the winds of emotion carry you away
Fantasy arouses a moment of suspicion
The shadows you embrace awaken such disarray
Darkness breeds in a turmoil of slumber
You feed on its tranquility to survive
The clutches of isolation have your number
Solitude is a remedy that keeps you alive
Death fills the air...

Constants and Variables
The legacy of moral standing spews imperfections
Symbolic of its resistance to its own undertakings
Like a body of conviction immune to absolute validity
It renders ideals unaware of their impending downfall
Unsteady motives are immersed in drastic caution
As awareness displays the harmony of its insights
...Assuming devotion to be lastingly beneficial
Compliance maintains its unlawful ties with obedience
Simultaneously, they shadow the defeat of perished views
Potential draws attention to the doubts of assumption
Aspiring gains...

Seasons Adrift
My secrets are witnesses to the passing of life
Time has fled to reunite with a salvaged loss
Feel the touch of Spring's renewal
Rivers of wisdom run through valleys of mistakes
Memories await the return of lessons learned
Breathe in Summer's grace and dance with it
Emptiness is replaced by a harvest of fresh change
Life carries on without a whisper of regret
Fall spreads across the purest of hearts
This road of wonders lead to a sense of fulfillment
Gates of knowledge welcome a fool's restless soul

In Nature's Way
Subtleties are found
On the tip of this tongue,
Revealing the limits
Of its broad mysteries
Swift motions deliver
Expressions of blind awe,
While certain signs of reality
Lay distant from true life
Inspiration sets tight challenges
with loose expectations
Unclean memories
Are convincingly ignorant
Of past shames,
Seeing only the fragments
That reproduce false schemes
Confidence can cast aside
The core of its...

Widespread
The afterworld manifests an extension of its legacy
Whenever awakening egos stand guard to its domain
Faithful beliefs rejoice in the coming of its rebirth
An unwanted conscience embodies substantial dislike
As bitter denial gasps at its own ill-mannered design
Selfish ideals assume a number of unworthy compliments
Acknowledging the rigid intentions that ward off options
Portals to sacred refusal let in selective choices
A stubborn pattern hints at how this segment ensues
Deprived wholeness won't accept its immanent calling

The Outside Within
My mind is in favour of its wholeness, it seems
An empty meadow of fertile souvenirs tended
By the hands of sanity that mend it together
On a collision course with my spirit's entanglement
My soul's shadow is entwined in its own confusion
Private gestures motion towards cheerful remains
Hidden shivers climb to a summit of epic heights
Where the bold and the wise have learned to forgive
From a cloaked image of justice, virtue goes onward
Imminent grace soothes this chapter of reluctance

Ride My Soul
A distant cry takes me across
A silent breeze of fear
To a land of uncertain return
Left alone in the burning cold,
Screams summon the pain I feel
Into a dying shadow
The night merges my solitude
With the stare of evil's rage,
Both have come to tear away
A bondage of prevailing order
In a life of fallen treasures
My reflection laughs through
A stream of bitter tragedy
Off I go down the path of grief
Where lie the dreams that perish
The guilt worsens
The hunger...

My reflection laughs through

Outgrown Givens
Welcome to a sudden, momentary lapse of time
Fully absorbed in the benefits that evolution reaps
And dishonored by the blame that monitors its change
Outcast of its breed, it weeps for the struggle to end
Tradition accuses it of raising The Unknown as its own,
Screening out the fog that covers its stagnant condition
It assumes the burden of sewing the seeds of The Other,
Sending a message that would otherwise never be heard
Progression blossoms through its distinctive faces,
As it throws a curve at predestined occurences ...

Lightness In Being
Verses of acceptance are drawn along a fine line
For the sake of advice, they implement a consensus
As the relationships of mutual reconciliation
Adjust to the persistence of selfless ambitions
Ignorance randomly conveys a frightening summary
Over-protecting those immune to their own entropy
A specter of grounded thoughts eclipses dodging ideas
For instincts to achieve the delight of serene states,
Risks of life must shift from this world to another
Halfway around the world we travel with time to spare ...
