POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Soul searching
Distant memories squander
yet I still don’t know who I am
Recent memories seem to evade
I haven’t yet found my hand
My soul wanders
My soul walks
My soul searches
my soul talks
My language is foreign
I speak in different tongues
The body that hears my whisper
Will reply I’m the one
The wind carries everything
And Nothing but my screams
The wind carries everything
And nothing but my dreams
Mother please talk to me
tell me what to say
My lonely soul cannot walk alone
My lonely soul cannot find a...

Conviction
Convictions have been placed,
Convicted before I was born,
The convicted is; a woman scorned
Listen to my words
See them cry
You’re looking at a body
Whose soul said goodbye
The pain you cause
The pain I feel
Nothing can fix, no angel could heal
Save me from the deep, dark un-showing
Save me from the dark
Save me from unknowing
Cuffs placed upon my hand
Cuffs placed without an understanding
We obey no laws, but we’ve broken them all
You and your words
it’s a wonder wall
Arrested in my...

Heart Ache
My legs are bruised
As I follow my feet
A distant memory lingers in a hearts retreat
My head, it aches
It’s tired of confusion
Wondering, guessing if it’s all just an illusion
My mouth, it cannot speak
For it was sealed with a kiss
Has my lonely heart wandered for this?
My eyes they see
But They see only images of you
Heart ache to heart ache, can this be true
My soul resonates
For the love I have found
Sealed with a kiss, so profound
My body is at peace , my mind complete
I’ve bought a distant memory...

Soulless being
Blue heavens cry
For the lonely soul that died
Drifting into the black
Never had looked back
The woods are scary at night
Tall and daunting
Brown barks laugh is haunting
Folk tales talk of tales
And those tales say
that for some Fae appear as lights
deep into the darkest day
Spread across the moon
The lights do fly
Walking through the woods
The dark trees cry
Soulless being come with me
Soulless being come and see
Soulless being come and fly
Soulless being your soul did did die
the water rises...

Addiction
I've never wanted something so bad
like i want you
you're my green pill, you're my blue
i swallow you whole
you course through my veins
my little blue pill, i don't feel pain
my heart beats faster
and this is where we start
my addiction isn't suicide, my addiction it's art
i've painted you well in my memories
but my memories can't feel
my heart is beating and it's the blue pill i can't conceal
i sweat you out daily
but you never leave me
i swallowed my own pill so you can't see me
come out, wake up

Masks
my mask
my face, it's hidden from view
my face, my mask
it's hidden from you
wear it well he said to me
being multi-faced is a good quality
circus man
no clown, no clue
he couldn't be himself
circus man
hidden from view
he wears it well
they say about him
multi-faced
with a grin
Circus man wears a mask the he didn't know he had
they put it on him
they put it on me
they put it on us
we multi-faced beings, we never wear a mask
hearts on sleeve
bare to none
we will wear our mask...

Number Whore
Here is my shoulder
for silence that grows older
my body has no warmth
my body that grows colder
death to looks
death to feel
i see heaven
i see real
my laws are gone
no laws i break
you destroyed them
my laws you take
silence to the gun
for death is in my heart
two bullets, one for you, one for me
we are never to part
6ft 7ft 8ft more
dig a little deeper
dig till you reach my whore
buried with regret
it didn't eat you alive
did you forget the silence
or 6ft under did it thrive...

Eternity
i'm not crazed
but i'm most certain its just a faze
a haze of the mind
where you are lost in time
theres no ticking of the clock
rather in your head
and the monsters that reside in your bed
they're never wrong
they're never gone
your mind is gone
you're never wrong
sane on a scale of one to ten
you're eleven
timed by seven
but time has gone
do numbers apply
you think of yourself and not her
nor i
waves will crash
but thats in the sea
look with your eyes
and finally be
your mind won't...

Oblivion
walk with me
follow me into bliss
walk with me
follow me into this
Oblivion
nothing as it should be
oblivion is us
nothing as it should be
oblivion is you and me
Toxic, no air
my nothingness consumes you
I have no where to go
your toxicity consumes me
Oblivion, no air flow
Suffocation at masses
but only of the heart
you smother into nothingness
i smother apart
Air
Free, there my cares are gone
i'm no longer filled with nothingness
Oblivion was wrong
follow back through memories of...

Curt Cocaine
Curt Cocain
Curt Cocain i want to sniff you
and feel your artistic way
when i feel you race through me
tell me what to say
your voice was loud
so loud is moved a generation
my generation is deaf
it doesn't listen
help me find the words
oh dear curt cocaine
help me find the words
so they don't lose their brains
help me find the words
so that they might hear
instead of using their eyes
its the voices they'll see clear
the voices of you
and the voices of me
we have more than one voice

Karma
The voices of my past speak to me
but i do not hear what they have to say
restrain on my memories
much to my own dismay
banished is my being
and destroyed is my sense
put behind is my past
so i go forth, hence
visages of my future
come to me in dreams
the voices of my future
nothing as it seems
karma has come once
karma has come twice before
karma is coming
she is coming but once more
what goes around comes around
and this is your third strike
by the end of the final day
the world will end that...

persona number 3
Introverted extrovert
is who i've learnt to be
introverted extrovert
its nice to meet me
step by step
hand by hand
i see myself in the mirror
there too do i stand
four eyes on me
but i only see too
two is a couple
am i more than a few
unable to stable
do i follow my path, do i sit in my seat
four footprints
two feet
i hear two of me
but one, i see no more
i've somehow lost my mind
my third persona may restore
help me find my life
and help me find me
help me do this
so i don't...
