POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Outrunning Time
Time is closing in on us
Scared and confused, we begin to run
Our friends and family, we move together
Through each other, we live forever
But time will not allow this to last
A shadow of darkness it must cast
The future blurs, we cannot see
As light fades, time makes gain
It chases through the dark
Its ferocity grows, as vicious as a shark
Blood has filled the water
Its insatiable desire only grows hotter
Some weak and weary fall behind
Snatched up by its claws, lost in the bind
Time has weaved a clever trap
Its victims knotted into...

Swimming in the Dark
I was birthed from fire and ash
Cast from the volcano, scars on my back
To the sea, the wind took me
A splash of pain, as my heat was drained
My body cold, limp, and pale
My skin wrinkled, becoming frail
The waves attack, my body broke
I cannot stay afloat, down, down, down I go
Into the darkness, my body drifts
In this place, I will never fit
This is no home of mine
I was meant to soar high, along with the divine
But now fear fills my mind, is this where I will die
A breath of life pierces through the black
There is a way I can get back...

i will love you forever
The rain pours in heavy drops
The clock winds on, tick tock, tick tock
Another year I sit alone
Remembering the one love is forever gone
I am old, my life nears its end
I have no regrets, nothing left to give
She took my soul, my body whole
When she passed, I left this world as well
Our time together was worth every second
This ending was inevitable, we could not escape it
Her cancer was malignant, a black disease
But it could not take our happiness, we fought with ease
We need not leave a worry in this world
We had each...

Why I love the Hunt
I was born in the woods, just beyond the meadow
A place where many people go
My father taught me to hunt and feed
He told me how to find the best meat
My teeth are sharp, my hands strong
I know not the difference between right and wrong
I can snap the neck of any animal with one fatal blow
Massive pain these creatures must undergo
For this is not the way my father taught me
A slow kill was far more Godly
Relish the food you have been given
For it is a gift from heaven
And so one night I went out alone
My courage had steadily grown...

Perfect Crime
They try to get in my mind,
To solve the crime
But they are wasting their time,
For there is no evidence or anything relevant to the case
All their efforts will be a catastrophic waste
Years and years I have waited
To bring death to those who created
A fate worse than death for my family
No one could have been sadder than me
But it is their turn to cry
And none will question why
My every movement is calculated with precision and perfection
My plan is absolved of any miscalculation
When the day came to tarnish my soul
I was...

The Pit
A mound of bodies, not all in one piece, lay in the center of the pit
Blood seeps off the pile in rivers
Resting above is some dark figure
He claims their souls with haste
He does not linger
He leaves only carcasses where humans once lay
A sight that would put Hitler to shame
They were a humble people living in a normal town
When one day, someone saw a glimmer of light
Who would have guessed that such a small speck could lead to this
It was a truly gruesome sight to witness
It started with one, hands outstretched towards the light
Another...

The Kiss
It is dark, the air is thick with sorrow
I can see a man through the heavy mist
He is on a mission, he cannot wait until tomorrow
His body shakes, nature’s cold lips have given him a kiss
A kiss of death that cannot be undone
Unless traded with one he loves more dearly then all of heaven and earth
His love, his wife, she has been cursed
He avoids the pain of death, by bestowing it upon her
A terrible fate, for which there is no cure
That was twenty years ago, and now he is old
He has lived alone, with no one to hold
Alone and depressed, he lived a...

the minotaur
I am not a man or beast
its nature at least I feast on the weak
I love it when they seek help
But no one will be your savior
For you are already damned
As your head roles to the ground and smashes wide open
blood and brain stain the ground
My blood lust I must satisfy
And in the process none may defy
My power alone can destroy whole towns
They best feed me, or they guts will go flying all around
My hunger is not satisfied by flesh and bone
It is the hunt, in which my true desires shown
In this labyrinth my home of death
I chase through...

sickness
A sickness has come over me
It is as though death has placed a seed
Deep within my soul
Once it is planted, it will grow
But it will never go
It is a weed that contaminates all
Before long everyone will fall
To this menace that is among us
He breaths death into all of us
The more I move, the bigger it gets
It can no longer find a fit
It externalizes itself, reaching my outer flesh
My skin boils as if overcome by some sickly rash
My body mangles and contorts as it reaches the later stage
This evolution to my being entails...

The Night
Shadow falls with not a soul in sight
The scene is laid for the saddest of nights
A crackiling howl fires in the distance
Natures anger frills in the wind
I cannot escape this feeling of lonliness
No one to hear, no one to care, but the rustling of the wind
Oh how miserable things have become
But that is the way of the world, you cannot escape what mustn’t be undone
A venomous chill crawls up my spine
Love is lost, only sadness is mine
For what to live for , what do I seek
All I receive is nothing to keep
Why go on in this lonely place
There...

The Forest
Into the darkness I walk for the last time,
The chill of the aged woods creeps down my back
I am tired and weary, my time has come
To liberate myself of this life, and step into the black
Freedom calls out at me in a whimpering howl
My life is soon to end, and fear clenches my heart
I wanted nothing, took nothing, was nothing
Yet there was something that made me sad
The thought of loosing something I never had
Life plays these tricks on her victims all the time
But I was not a fool, to become another pawn
I will take my sadness to the grave, for it...
