- Poetry > Free Verse
Inspiration is a brick. It sits, heavy and leaden In my mind Until my sensibilities grind it Into a fine power And change it into butterflies, Free to explore the wonders of life Wings spread full of courage.... - Poetry > Free VerseDivide and conquer As they say. Resume your titles, Hold steadfast to The dream That destiny may Be kind. Never take no For an answer, But perhaps a Maybe, Or a not quite yet. Resolve to be Courageous. Do not what Is popular, but always What is right. Surround yourself W...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou awaken a fear in me. It is not dumb, deaf, nor blind But a simple manifestation of weakness That cannot duck or hide. Within the center of my being Lives an angel, lurking, singing. He has fair hair and deep blue eyes And a warm embrace That cannot hide. My soul is weak And ca...
- Poetry > Free VerseLike Lucifer I fell, But she did not catch me Nor did she make a move to do so With all of my heart I sang her praises But they were leeched from my soul And not returned In the center of my being Splattered with acid from demons Her memory burns like hellfire Painful, and avengin...
- Poetry > Free VerseBroken as glass, you leave me. Never a mending hand in sight Always watching me with spite Never seeing me as right You’ve made my heart as black as night I cannot see I cannot move, All the things I wouldn’t do, The hidden hells I could not see Are pooling at my feet. And you are ...
- Poetry > Free VerseYou are the fairest of them all But by and by I watch you fall Into the depths of your despair Your seasons change without a care The person that I loved is gone And in her place she left a pawn For me to mold as I desire I burn it in the funeral pyre She has no spark to use for lig...
- Poetry > Free VerseI love you with all my heart, but you leave me not a drop I used to be a bird Perched on the branch of love, cradled by it, safe in your arms But now I weep, alone in my cave of bittersweet memories. My sweetly rancid flesh has been devoured by lime My exposed bones bleached, My teeth smashed...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhen I miss you The stars don’t shine And the birds are encaged in shrapnel. When I miss you Every little note is flat, Every word is meaningless and floating. When I miss you I can’t breathe, can’t speak, Can’t even move. When I miss you I am not me, But somebody else...
- Poetry > All PoetryWho are you to judge me Or tell me what I believe I am my own person God is who I want him to be. You say that I am ignorant Drenched in lies and bigotry Don’t tell me who am What I’m not and Who I should be. I am my own person. So get up off your knees. I am the one who nev...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyBeing dead is not as easy as it looks. There is no sense of peace for the dead, only hectic preparation. Preparation for “what is to come” Regan supposed, whatever the hell that is. You also lose the right to own anything. It’s kind of like getting off a plane in some foreign country with no m...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyThe world is ending. This is the conclusion all Ashlyn’s blindingly difficult research had brought to her. It made sense, if the world is ending why populate it, and all that stuff about respect and love; they’re all just scared about the big G.O.D. sending them right on down to Hell. She sigh...
- Fiction > Sci-fi/FantasyI took a deep breath as I walked out into the world of color. The earth seemed to tremble a bit in my presence as if it knew my secret. The sun was shining, beating down on me like a greeting from a long lost friend. I had no particular destination in mind. I was simply letting the death energy ...
- Poetry > Free VerseSoft golden hair, So fine and so tender. It drives me crazy Like you do, Only your hair cannot reject me....
- Poetry > All PoetryThough her eyes are dry Her heart is weeping. Wrapped up in sorrows, And yours for keeping But she is strong, Stronger then those who oppress her And she’s waited too long To recall what she’s waiting for Her mind shows victory While her heart shows defeat Abandoned in misery...
- Poetry > Free VerseI remember back when life was simple When all I had to do was live. And I feel the gale That swept my world away, Peeling back the waxy foreskin In favor of the ugly putrefied underbelly. I remember the pools of crimson That took you from me. And your spidery dead veins Collapsing be...
- Poetry > Free VerseLove is what we understand. We know no language We feel no cues We know nothing of torture and torment Nor hate or strife, We never cry. We never smile. But love, we know it well....
- Poetry > All PoetryI have a love, It’s not perfect, but it’s real And no one can match How she makes me feel. And everyone tells me Just how cute we are, That her without me Is a sky with no stars. They don’t even know How I’m feeling inside, But I guess that true love Is too great to hide. ...
- Poetry > Song LyricsWhen I look in the mirror I feel so ashamed. I try to go back there But it’s always the same, They see right through me. Those hollow words On that hollow shelf, They tell me the story Of everyone else. The path that I'm on Never even moves And you're getting ahead of me ...
- Poetry > Free VerseHe knows of my brilliance The burning kindle Hidden within the spokes Of a different lifetime, Opening doors to worlds I have no right seeing. The layers of satin Surrounding my heart Pay homage to the thick beads of iron Pooling in his. The metal has melded and settled within, Leav...
- Poetry > Free VerseMicrobial life wandering the desert We are but blips on their radar; Ants upon their vast plot of untarnished landscapes Merely trying to find the pastures of compassion. We simper and beckon And draw hope our way But it is disobedient, A wraith on shallow waters, A demon in holy territor...
- Poetry > Free VerseHow can we see our tear stained love Behind the faces of the dead? How is it that we hear our merciless sobs When they are struck by the moon, Lashed by the sun, Crying out in every facet of humanity? But we hear not, We speak not. Shadows are merging with the likes of indecency, Together...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhat can we do when the velvety rope that divides us is cut? It holds in our suffering, Our hatred and shame, In its thin and flexible mandible. It compartmentalizes our brains Looping our emotions into neat little boxes. Pain and desire are now bleeding together Thick with putrid underto...
- Poetry > Free VerseI have not met you You are but a vision of happiness. A happiness I once thought to be selfish But now believe is non-existent. The sweetest figment My imagination has ever dreamt A concerto of love with a stunning climax A score of fine crystalline ease The pinnacle of my belonging Th...
- Poetry > Free VerseMy life is meaningless Strangled cries of loveless nights covet me But I refuse I am the fragile lynchpin Agape in sorrows But heartache never enters my bed I scheme I plot The façade so tempered And pasteurized You scope my heart Hoping to find love Amongst the desecrated bui...
- Poetry > Free VerseUbiquitous happiness, Warmth in her never-ending smile, Enduring the vicious nights together In a syrupy twinge of affection The lights that shine on her pale features, Embracing the good and eradicating the bad As if viewed behind grainy glass. We scour the pirated copies of life toge...
