POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I suffer from identity crisis, an eating disorder and a myriad of diseases including the disability of chivalry and decrepit honour, yet I still live to inspire Your Local Earth Poet
Vanishing Chains
In (my) dreams
A nearly dead hero
Vigilante on display
Before a beautiful queen
Invisible in her reality
Wishes in chains
Often intoxicated
Finding relief from pain
Untrusted is forgiveness
Tonight, an eclipse until dawn
Waking in another stranger's arms
A solar flair mourning walk away
Alone towards a clean break
Banish him far behind
Destroy the mirrors
Of ill begotten memories
Another night gyrating
Above a stranger
Instead of...
A loving hero
Dead in dreams
A hero's corpse display...

Sweat Plea
Brave soul
Mischief drown
Treatment weakens
Ghostly white and frail
Monument to living
Accruing debt
Not by choice
Life just isn't
Its not free
I'm sorry
Such cruelty
How can it be
This cancer prison
That such a young life
Grant liberty to machines
Science cannot describe
The democracy of joy
Never relinquished
Until in the ward
I find the light
Oh, my soul
Mother please
Don't stain your eyes
Tears are for injustice
Not for my passing
Help the children
Sold into slavery
Their...

If Childhood Magic Was True
If Childhood magic were true,
Our fingers would be guns
Shooting invisible bullets...
That could never kill
If Childhood Magic were true
Our avoidance would be based on a system words
We'd have lip sinking ninjas skills... Like 'missed me'
Even though we'd totally been shot
If Childhood Magic were true
We could teleport chocolate onto dinner plates
Or change the flavour of mother's meals
And even greens would taste of sweets
If Childhood Magic were true
Our best friend growing up would've been Justin Bieber (bieber,...

The Time Machine Tattoo
Ever since Dominic could remember,
He had heard stories of Namiah, queen of the angels, sister to Lilith the damned, whose army succumb to the power of darkness in the invisible wars that raged long ago high up in the clouds. In dreams he had held her hand as she fled under a reign of arrows, narrowly escaping from the citadel of obsidian stone where for so long she was held captive, high up in the skies.
Every night hidden under the covers lit by a tiny flash light Dominic would watch the hands of his grandfather's pocket watch as if it retold the story of his first...

Angel Abducted: A Carved Heart Story
Could swear it,
I am become nothing that ever I was before, Torn down by an angel with shattered wings, Attempting to reach home again, Stolen eternity in a purchased lie, Caught between compassion and denial in a twisted form, Reaching depths of hell where there's only dark, Wrapped in her wings I breathe love into her chest, Intoxicated by the beauty of a single action criminal, Could she return to heaven or do I have to burn it down...
Once upon a theory of love ago, I dreamt of dwelling in unity with the church, Sadly my pierced body in the middle of the human...

Lunacy Story
Stories of water walking grow old
Transcripts of a police statement describe
The madness of a man mindless on the street
Judges become the victims of thought crime
Faith's perspective of deduction is all but lost
Court transcript proves absolute clarity
The self inflicted scars upon his wrists
Spawn of a brave fit of lunacy
Sounds like story not to miss
Stories of the once dead raised grow cold
Transcripts of the corpse burnt when he walked away
Believe the evidence of the perspective alone
Deny all else as annoyingly illogical...

Humanity Life Line & A Tiny Still Born
Tiny souls floating endlessly
As would be angels in our galaxy
But everyday we add willingly to their stars
As we sculpt a culture with a grey moral pride
Still born... tiny
Half collapsed lung
Surgically inflated diaphragm
Prayers for life abundantly
Amidst this decrepit culture
Parents of a new life still worry
Tiny hands cupping infinite tears
For those who cannot choose life
While in the next room parents cry
Given over the fate of the unknown to tragedy
Tiny born... still
Dreams of motherhood

At War...
At war with wolves
On another's behalf
Weak rescue attempt
A day by day living plan
Response to beauty's loss
Beside the well at the world's end
She stands heart eclipsed
Nearly broken asunder
Harbinger's battle
Black cloud of crows
Pluck out the eyes of hope
As it rains down heartache
Wolves come out to play
Heart of mirrors
Shattered & alone
Keeper of reflections
Memorized every day alive
Here at the well
Beside the world's end
Memorized every lonely day
Collection the wolves ate

Fate Calandar
Echo of a cancerous riddle
Born in the fifth season of dreams
Terrifying realization of waking again
To find the peace in loneliness
Tick tock of fate's calendar
Missing a chess piece
To checkmate the heart
White queen eludes love
Lingering with a broken smile
Fate's a foolish blinding light
Comfortable repetition
Besiege her dreams
& waking mind
Endless winter epidemic
Heart overthrown by darkness
Unapologetic season's condition
Frozen breeze killed the flame
Hope's unrelightable candle
Foolish to have...

Immortal & Blind
Memory of conscience
Times long forgotten
Burden of the lips
Truth is a crime
In this age
Vampire memories
Hanging from the wall
Blank photographs of crows
Carrion soul catalysts
Mirrors of songs
Of those lost
Whispering lip sink of truth
Inaudible bleak message
Vexed by honest
A society crime
In this age
Memories of self
Vampire in the mirror
Lonely wall noose hung
Blank photographs of trophies
Carrion soul victim catalyst
Mirrors of a dying song
Of those I've lost ...

Once Was... David
Let go my soul
Split empty womb
C-Section out the dead
No clocked time of death
Just a sequence of violence
Subjected upon life forms
Would be earth residence
Children of the tomb
Once was David
Memory of conscience
Each night chills my spine
Babe whose hand I never held
Let go my soul at long last tonight
End the archer's nightmares
Release the final arrow
A trophy of loss
My ancient...
Choice
Sit up
And pray in bed
Lost achievements
Never once appreciated
Once was David my cancer
