Just Not TodaySo much turmoil
and so much pain;
this love is like
walking in the rain.

I dreamt that you
finally looked my way.
You will love me-
just not today.

"Mares of the Night""Mares of the Night"

Underneath closed eyelids, not located too far,
resides a realm of imagination from unique to bizarre.
The sound of a snore, a very irritating quirk,
signifies the dreaming process at work.

Parallel reveries with phantasms amuck,
controlled by realizing what exists using luck.
Using your thoughts, recognizing reality;
the way of escape from your creative mentality.

A vision of the future, fueled by your hopes and goals;
bringing out everything from the depth of our souls.
Terrible anomalies can envelop the space,
clouding your judgement; slowing your pace.

Paralyzing fear in a world that's unreal;
awaking wi

Seas Left Unswum

What closet poets are we,
who in moments more sober of thought show a stony face,
but lying alone at night hearing the rain's mourning fancy ourselves martyrs for love,
and epic heroes of romance.
"My lady!
Leander am I, and would take the strait in stroke to be with you!
Orpheus am I, and would venture into Hades to bring you back!"
But count us amateur Leanders as unlikely to swim the sea as the sea is to dry for us.

And perhaps this is best-
for Leander drowned,
and Orpheus lost Eurydice again in the end,
and how much worse should the fate of us imposters be?
Instead let me be the realist romantic,
one who can admit that the s

The Benefits of Love and ...will you teach me how to divide by horses?
and multiply by elephants
subtracting heffalumps and woozles?

do you know these things,
these mathematical "terms"

mean nothing to me,
except that they are something you enjoy?

i will teach you how to write your way out of situations
and hold sunsets in your hands
i will show you how to let that smile reach your eyes
and how to get your fingers in the paint
and feel the colours.

do you know these things,
these artisan "hobbies"

are what make me
get out of bed in the morning?

HangingTighten the noose,
because its so very loose.
Around my neck it goes,
and no one ever knows...

Let the noose control me,
bestow me with a death,
oh so ever painless,
kick the chair from below me.

No snap...
Strangle me...
Strangle me...
Oxygen is lacking...

Blackening,
Darkening,
Embarking,
on the journey to the after life...

The SnowballThe snowball gathers its flakes one by one,
Allegiant forces can be harder undone,
A mesh of sleet is all that shall become.

Parting gravity is our utmost fight,

One which provokes an enduring delight,

A shimmering sparkle against the arctic air,

Can a snowflake ever guest appear?

Dissect its ends with a Spartan’s spear?

Or does it become the one that tried,

Crucified and simply tossed aside.

I can see the future now,
Snowball I have made my decision you cow.

vampire queenshe of the night
with eyes burning bright
haunted by daylight

take my breath away
the sky is turning grey

reborn from darkness
sharp needle teeth give a kiss

can't see clearly, everything is in a haze
light up my eyes, make them bright and ablaze.

queen of vampire
the sun has come up and i am on fire!

Emily Dickinson,Serial KillerBecause you could not stop for Death
I made sure he stopped for thee
The carnage held within ourselves
the immorality

I slowly drove the knife, grim taste
my victim put away
my killer's labor a pleasure too
stole his virility

I passed the fool whose children preyed
on him, wrestling for his ring
I slashed them, red haze of pain
I slashed, watched red blood run

I paused before a man who screamed
a wailing most profound
though it was scarcely audible
'neath his burial mound

Since put in penitentiary, I beseech
for mercy, as draws close the day
I realize I shall lose my head
with the executioner's glee

- Again -Time has come to a halt
Once again
Within our every fault
Is a place forever sought
But leaded by the blind, we are
Yet we cannot move too far
Crippled by the same mistakes
Time is ticking away,
Once again

Power to the poor is a simple task
When we all hide behind our divine masks
May the prophet show the way
So tear out my eyes, and I’ll surely prove
That I can still see your every move
May the moonlight come in the day

[chorus]
All we can find today
Are the scriptures upon which we pray
Though we cannot find what we truly believe in
It’s no secret that we’re scared
By the things we simply cannot bare
And

I Wish I Had FeetI wish I had feet,
With ten toes to wriggle,

I wish I had feet,
With two soles to tickle,

I wish I had feet,
To jump and to run,

I wish I had feet,
It would be such fun,

I wish I had feet,
And this I must wail,

You see I have none,
For I am a snail.

What I've BecomeThe pressure of the world
Is pounding behind my eyes.
All the tears I held back
Burst through.

Listen to the falling rain of my life.
This cloud thunders,
Waking me up
From my dreamer's sleep.

Around me there are whispers,
Rumors of nothing
I can't seem to get rid of.
They follow me.

Hear my heartbeat in my chest,
Pounding frantically,
Trying to escape its cage.
Don't leave me here alone.

I tried to fade away
Everything that made me sad,
But life kept opening my eyes again,
Trying to show me what's begun.

I'm in the shadow of the sun,
Not trying to evade
The blinding rays
From which I used to run.

Jaded,
I'm running i

Cyber Beats

Cyber Beats

Cyber beats drive us freaks,
UV lights, fishnet tights,
Fairy wings, tribal rings,
Metal spikes, all your might,
Rainbow dreads, we’re on meds,
Corsets tight; we’re alright,
Flowing dress, gothic mess,
Ribbons, lace, pierced face,
Zombie bride show your pride,
Long haired men gorgeous when,
Platform boots, three piece suit,
Top hat too, join the crew,
We’re so hot, you’re so not,
Come on babe; we say rave,
Cyber beats drive us freaks,
Metal blasts for outcasts,
Join us babe; we say rave,
Join our clique;
We’re the freaks.

Strawberry StarlightThe sun rises on a field of green; The air warm but not hot, and cool but not cold.

Smiles and kisses float by on winds of hope.

Doors fly open as lovers and innocent hearts charge the sunbathed expanse.

Hand in hand, they run through the grass, as musicians play ballads and preludes.

A summer shower drenches the flock of happiness in lukewarm water;

They look towards the sky and drink deep from the season’s nectar.

The rain stops and the sun shines through again, and everyone heads to the beach.

White sands and crystal waters run between the toes of all, alone or betrothed.

The sun begins to waltz towards the west; Rears are pla

Like the Morning's MistWhen you looked at me with tears in your eyes,
a deep, haunting feeling engulfed my existance.
Even in this dream you're leaving me;
will we ever meet again, my beloved?
The sorrow of this dream of a memory is so deep
and the reality of it awakens me with tears;
this life without you can never be justified
just as the pain of this lonely life can never be soothed,
yet when I long to join you,...
Your eyes closed as I touch your face,
and for a moment, my heart forgets to beat.
Am I damned to forever relive this torment?
Your lips quirk a pained smile as I kissed them;
it is the goodbye we were never able to speak
and, somehow, w

help
i care and i cant hide
screaming sounds tortured
maybe i am
cant you see?
im here
accept me
im tired of being
left out
just please realize
im here
i WANT to be here
screams
like crows, black ghosts of nightmares
fly on wings of dreams, of fears
the dreams arent theirs
the dreams yield to no master
the crows own nothing
thier cries are still the inspiration
for our own.
we command, we control
now if only the same could be said
for my life
if i could see where it led
amazing possibilities
i dont want to burn
feel the flame, lick, crack, taunt
your face appears
laughs, walks away

Will Of The Free

Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Free Verse

I don’t need them to believe in me,
I know I might seem weak but look can deceive.
I guess their rather let me think I am down,
Make me imagine that what I see isn’t real.
And there is nothing in the world I can do or say,
To be the way I am.

Although sometimes their poison bites,
I know that analyzing souls are not their job,
Like they could ever understand more than their ego needs,
They rather lock us all in where we can never see,
Changes that we could make, rules that need to break.
