POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
it controls my step by the day,preoccupy my mind at night,keeps me busy in my dream and wakes me up like a king.
Never Walk Alone
We are broken and empty,
Shackled and frightened,
Overtaken by ugly events,
Life seems to lose it's meaning,
Happiness is stolen,
Smile is the mask we wear so we can keep going on,
But deep down is a concealed pain,
A lump of bitterness and agony,
No where to turn to,
And no one to run to,
We feel forsaken and betrayed,
We feel lost...
And everyday poses a different challenge,
No one stands for too long without falling,
Even when you rise,you fall again,
It's like we are given too much to bear,
And there is so much to fear,...

Remember Me
Remember me when you're gone,
Anytime you play that slow song,
When the night's calm,
When you fall asleep in his arms.
Remember me when you smile,
When excitement fills those pretty eyes,
When the wind is soft and moist,
Replay my whispering voice,
Remember me in your sweetest thoughts,
Somewhere in that secret vault,
Save a special place for me,
And remember me endlessly.
Remember me when to yonder you look,
As that fascinating book,
That was judged by the cover,
Considered unworthy for a lover.

Song Gone Sour
The place where we use to sing,
There you now hide and cry,
You no longer spread your beautiful wings,
You have given up trying to fly.
Why in the world do you hurt yourself?
And leave that pretty skin in dents,
No one turns down a call for help,
To who exactly does your anger vent?
Things won't always go our peaceful way,
The world prepares a surprise for all,
But if by impetuous feelings we stray,
Then to me that's an ignoble fall.
For everyman can relate with victory,
Only the mighty can bear defeat,
A loser will turn...

Taken By The Dark
Walking away she turned her back,
On everything she'd held so dear,
Her hopes,her love had flown alack,
There was nothing left to really care.
Somehow he found her lonely there,
All alone in a lightless room,
Sad,shaky,shrinking in fear,
Broken down in a state of gloom.
His stare beared a mystical look,
His godly figure beamed with life,
Like a knight from the story books,
For once she wandered off her strife.
His voice gentle,soft and nice,
She could no longer hold within,
For once she looked into the stranger's eyes,...

Feelings
Dreamlike the journey to adulthood
To me came unprepared
To say good things about my mood
Will be a lie so clear
To purpose I strive on tireless
For what I can achieve on my own
But onto nothing I press
Save for an ego over blown
Yet dreaming through decades now gone
Holding onto nothing to show
What once stood for brilliance and wisdom
Has lost it's inner glow
A forced instinct of survival
Pushing a soul that wants to end
This being not known to revival
Deep down to ashes descend
I'd wanted all that heavens...

Bragging Dead Man
Cast me down
Watch me frown
There's nothing you can do to me now
That will cause me harm
You saddist I know your games
You're only happy when I'm in pain
You think you'll ever hear me yell
In sorrow screaming out your name
My heart bleeds per hour
You come against me with all your power
Crush me into utter nothingness
All in the bid to see me cower
Cast me down
Watch me frown
There's nothing you can do to me now
That will cause me harm
I've hated you since I was a boy
You think you can use me like a toy...
Watch me frown

My heart bleeds per hour
You come against me with all your power
Crush me into utter nothingness
All in the bid to see me cower
Cast me down
Watch me frown
There's nothing you can do to me now

I've hated you since I was a boy
You think you can use me like a toy...

Crush To Crash
I never had a crush
Until I met Nina
I dived into a mad rush
Like a childish beginner
Her eyes shone like sunrays
Illuminating the path
The broad and smooth way
Leading to her heart
There I found solace
Loving,warm and pure
Caught in passionate romance
Wherefore I dwelt secure
We were captives in love's prison
Like two love birds in a cage
Touching,kissing,teasing
Soul,mind and body engaged
So I built a castle on friendship
A friend I found in a lover
But everything came crashing
When she said it...

Songs Of Pain
My desires are never satisfied
No matter how hard I try
Like a force dwells high above
Waiting to see me cry
Ease has never been for me
To put it in simple terms
It's like I was made for unrest
To wrestle with ups and downs
I've seen many wild in elation
When their wishes are met
But for me watching is all I can do
With this tortured mindset
Trying to hide my worries behind phony smiles
But the pain is crystal clear
It's hard to move any further
When for tomorrow I fear
I look for consoling words in what is...

Darker Than Darkness
Death to slave,death to master,
Everywhere I go I bring disaster,
Dark and dubious,dividend of despair;
Someone tell somebody that nobody cares.
Left alone,in terror grown,
Took pain and pressure for my own,
Demure and gentle with a loving touch,
But upon that form another encroached.
Strong and vengeful,wild;uncareful,
The one the devil refers to as evil,
Has come upon me with a deadly grudge,
Woe to serfs,woe to lords...
I told you exactly how I was feeling,
I cried and begged you not to leave me,
Now looked what you've...

On A Final Note
Nothing will be hidden,
All will be clear,
All my secret sins,
Will be laid bare,
Save your roses,
Shed no tear,
Goodbye worries,
Goodbye fears...
All will be clear,
All my secret sins,
Will be laid bare,
Save your roses,
Shed no tear,

Good Night DU
Winter cold,
Heavy head,
None to hold,
Empty bed.
But i'm fine,
Yes i am,
Guess it's time,
I lay me down.
Slow songs,
Lights out,
Sleep-Stoned,
Blacking out.
Stretch and yawn,
Say a prayer,
Nature calls,
I try to play her.
I'm giving in,
Nice and tender,
Nature wins,
I surrender.
Good night DU,
I'll be snoring,
I guess i'll see you,
In the morning.

Because You Were There...
Because you were there,the night wasn't so long and boring,i had someone to talk to,you whispered soft words that brought back my strength and courage,you took my misery away.
Because you were there,i welcomed the rising sun with hope,i let go of everything that held me down,in mad ecstacy i wandered about,like a mad man round the town.
Smiling everywhere i went,greeting all that came my way,i felt like someone in love,nothing could snatch the joy i experienced,because you were there.
The world was one big bright globe,void of worries and stress,i couldn't worry...
