POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry keeps me semi-sane.
Funeral Romance
Pale and twitching
Stretching blame as time elopes
Dragging across
This abrasive hour
To leave a fading impression
Lets watch the world crawl by
As we suffer our immortality
Hide your blank expressions behind glass walls and
Brood over your melancholia as I breathe your brutality
Split a Chelsea grin and be jovial
Collect your pseudo blood as it seeps from your dahlia
Scrape the dirt from under your fingernails
And plant the seeds of your lips to sprout a
Mirror image to leech your suffering
I'll...

Collect your pseudo blood as it seeps from your dahlia
Scrape the dirt from under your fingernails
And plant the seeds of your lips to sprout a
Mirror image to leech your suffering

Morgum Fry Lily (An Epitaph)
Here lies the corpse of Morgum Fry Lily
Bathed in formaldehyde, and dressed in velvet
She died as God intended
Leaving broken hearts unmended
Because life is nothing but a sponge
Soaking up catastrophe as heart rates plunge
In remembrance of our morgue jump martyr
Let us dress our skin in blades and
Feel the collective ardor of blood love
Let us find peace within her veins
Bathed in formaldehyde, and dressed in velvet
She died as God intended
Leaving broken hearts unmended
Because life is nothing but a sponge
Soaking up catastrophe as heart rates plunge
In remembrance of our morgue jump martyr
Let us dress our skin in blades and
Feel the collective ardor of blood love
Let us find peace within her veins

Creases
Every day reminds me of my own
The same
The sames build up like clotted blood
Until my skin bursts at unnatural seams.

Breaking Down Barriers(Unbeknownst)
An entity of clear cutting cadence
Speaks out against its malign conscience
A dismal reckoning beckons down the conveyor.
Said entity chokes and stutters to pray or
Convene a suitable situation to slay her
Entry gadget of otherworldly communication white hot in hand
Entity pushes and shoves to solidify its brand
Confused and awkwardly shying, her giggles out a “What?”
Entity practically screams, “I really like the way you strut.”
Facetiously digging itself out of an uncomfortable rut.
Her responds with, “I have not,...

Into Oblivion
All encompassing and
searing darkness
If I could leech your embodiment
Into my loving
(but jealous)
carcass
My completion would be
by your obsidian decadence
(Written for the Darkness Invades Me Competition)

I Be, Oh(Woe is Me)
Tar pit enveloped dreams fade away into black honeycomb crystallizations
I surrender to convenience as I am stretched into yet another conforming shape
I'd be better off dead, but I choke on the word
It seems I'm drowning in irony
I'm an extra piece in a dysfunctional puzzle
If I felt any smaller I might just disappear
Maybe I was born to die (as we all are)
When I crumble, will anyone be there to pick up the pieces?
Or will I just dissolve into the abstract
And sink into the next low in a continual barrage of dread highs
If it were that I be...

Palpitations
My blood didn't feel like it was worth pumping
My eyes intermittently drew sand
And I always wondered if my life was worth an epitaph
Needle pricking memories were never enough to keep me down
Draining and collecting fed me anger
So drain and collect I did
Like a beguiling dagger
Encrusted in my perception of mortality
It was credulous of me to think I bled superior
Stolen by the juxtaposition of emptiness
I consumed only that which made me hate
And the mortuary sang my siren song
If I could've carved a message into my bones...

Absolute Zero
I've grown in age but not in wit
It seems my world has gone to shit
I've common sense enough not to care
But it's left my body in a sorry state of disrepair
Body in mind or flesh of bone
Either as whole or left alone
Are as empty as space in spite of want
And spread as leather, ground down and pulled taut
Dried out and weathered in creases
The bitterness can be picked off in pieces
To form a mound of scabs alas
With volume enough to fill a hourglass
I've lost my desire, lost it somewhither
Along...

The Killing Song
Anon, but timely in compress
As only time can truly confess
Lest we be persuaded by guise
Blessed be we by this bloody baptize
Don our masks of hidden meaning
And put an end to our grievous grieving

Lest we be persuaded by guise
Blessed be we by this bloody baptize
