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.
What Can You Do To Me?
I feel no pain anymore,all my fears are gone,though i still keep to myself-demure,i'm no longer sad and withdrawn.
Childwise plays i,on yellow lillied fields,no gashes cut,no teary eyes;i'm happy to be me.
You can throw your gaunlet to my face,i'm done surpass your ways,never again will you push me far,with those mocking words you say.
My life is very beautiful,i care less of what you think of me,you can keep your pathetic perspective to yourself,i'm exactly what i'm suppose to be.
No gloomy days no weeping nights,i'm sure you're surprised to see,me of all...

Fugitives Of Love
They have been hurt before,they will never love again;No,not anymore,they will never feel that pain.
Karen lost her virginity,she was only sixteen,he was charming and romantic at the beginning,but ended up loveless and mean.
"i don't need you anymore he yelled,at me he emptied his vials of curses,my paradise became a living hell,and demons plagued my sanity".
"After stealing from me my pride,i no longer meant a thing to him,he use to tell me he loves me but he lied,he was only after my skin".

Beyond Repair
What can i do to make you see that you're special,that you're too loaded to feel you're nothing,if only i can make you forget and walk away,from all the mistakes of yesterday.
But you prefer to cry and wail,for something that was never there,the whole affair was doomed from the womb,and now it's resting in its tomb.
It's true he lied,it's true he broke your heart,but think if he ever loved you,he wouldn't have left without a clue.
Slowly your beauty is been eroded,your strength and confidence is gone,your worries has stolen your self-believe,and replaced it with...

Taking A Walk...
Look at you,you're so grown now,full of life and confidence,you can make decisions on your own now.
Back then you were so skiny and vunerable,it's like the wind will hurt you; young,charming and adorable,me and your mum use to talk about you.
She thought we'd make a perfect match,in the years to come;true you were quite a catch,and so i dreamed along.
But then your dad passed away,life became a living hell,for you,your mum and your brother,besides me no one was there.
I made sure food was on the table,there was nothing you lacked at school,took care of...

Worried
she's getting set
she's nursing a secret plan
she won't be doing it yet
until i feel there is no course for alarm
i am aware of the impending doom
it is as sure as death
i am worried and caught up in gloom
i am counting every breath
she is secretly packing
all night she's having whispered conversation
i wonder what exactly im lacking
why she wants to move on
im worried
she doesn't wait to leave a witness
she's so determined
paranoia the obvious sickness
she is up and ready
i want for fate to play
she...

Unyielding
there is so much poverty around us
poverty of different kinds
but there is no poverty as disastrous
as the poverty of the mind
thus i will laugh when i cry
i will work day and night and never stop
i will live even when i die
no matter how times life knocks me down,i will rise back up
poverty of different kinds

thus i will laugh when i cry
i will work day and night and never stop
i will live even when i die
no matter how times life knocks me down,i will rise back up

In The Bottle Again
All around me,empty bottles of Guinness stout,
Eyes blurry,slowly I'm blacking out,
Thinking of you have driven me insane,
There i go,Im in the bottles again.
Drink down one,drink down two,
It's hopeless;i can never get though to you,
Silent wishes rise up to the sky,
Drink down more to stay forever high.
Teasingly,your eyes probe my soul,
So transparent,you see my goals,
To be your lover,brother and friend,
But it's more fun to you,to watch me descend.
Deep into the cold,dark abyss of despair,
Where it is impossible to hide...

Just One Reason To Try
That is all i need,
Just one reason to try,
I have seen a million ways to bleed,
A million ways to die.
But an empty soul;
That i fear the most,
Void of feelings,void of goals,
The weightless life of a ghost.
There are so many reasons to be afraid,
So many reasons to be suspicious,
But nothing compares to the joy you feel,
When you find someone you can trust.
It's no surprise if i try and fail
I'm only human,i make mistakes,
But with one word of encouragement,
Any sloth will be ready to do whatever it takes.

Rescuer
I need someone to take me from this house of pain
I can't hold my breath anymore is time to get away
I'm in this prison and i'm bounded in chains
And all my effort to be free is like I'm struggling in vain
I need my rescuer,i really need you now
I need my rescuer,i'm sick of feeling down
Back in the days I had a life I called my own
I use to dream of high places,places where I can view the sunset
Living in a castle where I can play inside the rain
And I would sleep like a baby in my cozy nice apartment
Who could tell that I would end up in...

Dance Of The gods
Drums afar beating,
Forward footsteps match;
Odor of blood reeking,
The plot's about to hatch.
Pounding heartbeats reverberate,
In none abides a chance,
To live again another day,
For tonight the gods dance.
They passed their judgment,
The dice is cast,
And no atonement,
Can hold it fast.
The drums will play,
The sound will boom,
Mortals will slay,
Without a clue.
Misty clouds,
Trumpet blows,
Yelling aloud,
Tears and blood flow.
The gods are dancing,
On a bloody floor,
Every twist...

Kill,Kill,Kill...Murder,Murder,Murder
I spend my day thinking of what the night holds
My night is filled with dreams
In them I walk a long dark road
Unending are the screams
Kill,kill,kill
Murder,murder,murder
The voice appeals to this other me
Dwelling right within
And the new urges I nurse is an anomaly
This voracious urge to kill
Kill,kill,kill
Murder,murder,murder
He's fighting visciously
Tonight it's even different
I can't believe my own voice or voices
Speaking strange tongues,incoherent
Kill,kill,kill
Murder,murder,murder

Hell is Hungry
He's so voracious
That's how he was made
Never to be satisfied
No matter how much he ate
Day in day out
His victims he brutally claims
Without the slightest remorse
He bruises and maims
He possesses accomplices
Who do his dirty job
Entranced they work into schools
And smoke innocent pupils
Hell is a sick dude
Pain is his pleasure
Sadness is his joy
And death's the very life he lives
Dark,cold and mysterious
He shuttles to and fro
Looking for souls to suck
Up and down he goes
Roaming fierce...
