POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
into darkness
Step into darkness
Leave your soul behind
Embrace the world’s sadness
Reject the divine
Cast aside the lies of youth
I offer you truth
It will not bring you joy
Hope is for those that are blind
I will show you a world without light
Reality in its most pure state
The Devil created this world’s fate
Sickness around every corner
Growing more malignant as the people mourn more
The only escape to this Hell is through death
Have no fear, escape is for the rest
You who embrace the darkness
Will find shelter in the madness
Transcend...

Lost at Sea
God, why have you forsaken me
Leaving me behind to die
A wave of your hand, and my soul to be set free
But in silence I wait, only able to cry
My ship, lost at sea
Through storm and terror, I cannot find my way
Neither compass nor map will guide me, I cannot see
You are somewhere hidden, a light without display
I fall forever, into this deep chasm
Light’s absence fills my heart with fear
The chaos around me, the darkness grows massive
I must abandon all hope, you are not here
As doubt consumes my body whole
I begin to accept that which I...

Left to die
Why can't I
find the time
to unwind
All i do is cry
in the night
I will die
With no one by my side
Cause you wouldn't be mine
Your light will never shine
on my eyes
they are blind
All I see are lies
I swore I'd try
But you said goodbye
You ignorant swine
You left me here to die
find the time
to unwind
All i do is cry
in the night
I will die
With no one by my side
Cause you wouldn't be mine
Your light will never shine
on my eyes
they are blind
All I see are lies
I swore I'd try
But you said goodbye
You ignorant swine
You left me here to die

Love's Cure
An old shack, rickety and broken
In it, an old man, waiting to be woken
Someone young and full of life paces just outside
Questioning if his journey was ill-contrived
A crow’s screech startles the man
He jumps, into the door he slams
Opening with no living soul in sight
A black room exposed to the silence of the night
The man slowly creeps forward
Five steps in, and there is nothing to be heard
Alas, a moan, a stumble, then light returns
In the form of a lamp, in it a small fire burns
It is not a warm and cheery glow
For the old man it...

I Will Wait
I think of you, you think of me
In starry skies I could not see
Our love is lost, now history
How can this be our destiny?
I try so hard, I even plea
Your cold dead eyes are killing me
Tomorrow brings a mystery
Can I swim, or will I sink
In this misery that grew so deep
I cannot breath, it covers me
Your love no longer brings me peace
I’m falling deeper into space
Not a soul in this nothingness
How can I survive in this lonely place?
I walk alone two hundred miles
Wishing to see your face before I die
What I’d give to...

The Story of Troy
Tragedy began with a game
Zeus’s curiosity to blame
He asked Paris to give him the name
the most beautiful goddess he must proclaim
Aphrodite promised worth and fame
Beauty Paris sought; in Sparta he would make his claim
And so the tail of love and betrayal
Moves from heaven to earth, as we set sail
Across the sea, Paris finds his love
Helena of Sparta, a woman already married
That does not stop these two doves
Through Hell’s fire they will fly, and all of Greece will be buried
A love birthed in betrayal and treachery
Destined to fail,...

Love and War(collab....Amberly)
On the front lines I live
My life, theirs to give
The battle weakens my resolve
As my life shatters, I begin to fall
Down, down, down, into the pit of despair
Only to be save, by a single letter
Back in America, my lover waits
Hoping that I can escape death’s gates
She lives on nothing,
This letter cost her everything
Not only money or time,
But her entire soul was poured into this letter, given to save mine
She speaks of America, and how things have changed
But that she still loves me, and that will never change
I begin to choke, tears...

Battle Cry
Prepare your body, lock away your soul
Allow your heart to become cold
sharpen your focus
narrow your eyes
in this smoke and mist
we must see clear or die
unsheathe your swords
let the hate pour
feel black blood pule from heart to hand and hand to sword
on this battlefield a new soldier is born
you are death, you will fight to the mourn
and when sun rises, your sin light will cleanse
blood washed from your stained hands
acknowledge the dead, celebrate your brothers who bled
to Hell they went, in the night none wept
the battle is...

This Mask I Wear
Life starts again
It is time for me to begin
Once more I ready my body
My heart beats steady, the process is starting
Clothes pulled over my skin
Covering the scars that burn from within
Shoes tied tight, as my father taught
My feet must be ready for the long walk
Gloves to mask my filthy hands
Whose treachery mustn’t be seen by any man
I look into the mirror
To peer deep within my own soul, absent of fear
Cold and faded, my image mutilated
The truth is ugly, beyond repair
Onto the final piece of armor I must wear
A mask sewn from...

In Hell's Domain
Death is your only sanction from experiencing true Hell
Eternal fire, in which the living dwell
Pain and suffering will forever prevail
Dead be free, your soul you did not sell
Those who still play in the game
Made a contract with the devil, they themselves are to blame
Their decision was a huge disgrace
A darkness cast, becoming society’s bane, marking the end to the human race
Let all who live feel this blackest of shame
Dare not seek the light above
A mere illusion as tantalizing as love
It cannot exist, for we have free will
Free indeed,...

The Feast
Weep and wait
He will never come
Your cries heard by no one
His flesh peeled from his bone
Hs body ravaged, his soul I stole
The blood gathered in a beautiful puddle
Wet and warm, upon my tongue it funneled
My teeth gone twice over by my tongue
With every drop, a melody sung
The tune of death, plays upon my ears
With dirtied hands, I wipe away my black tears
The joy the grace, that accompanies such madness
I gently touch the body, squirming like a worm
It is time to go to work
I cannot hold back, my adrenaline hits its max
Biting and...

The Man in the Shadow
I cannot sleep, my body is tense
For two days, I have been like this
Every hair standing on end, as I twitch and contort and bend
There has been no comfort, no peace to be found
To a life of fear I have been bound
I fear to utter the words
My grasp on reality has become so blurred
Dare I tell of his malicious nature
And risk putting my life in danger
I cannot hold back, not anymore
Things were different before we met
But now all I wish is to forget
It was a cold Sunday, snow fell through the dark
Night had awoken, and with it I embarked...
