American I am an Actor/Writer living in LA. The words you read reflect a deeper inner part of me not seen in my everyday life. It's my "Darker" side if you will. Outside the realms of these words I'm actually quite bubbly.
Beautiful desire She is a ghostly apparition The wind is her hair Making gusts of Greek fire And her breath is cold as winter All I see is dark grey clouds While my heart freezes as I kiss the gates of Milton’s paradise. I’m lost. As I stand against the inferno, I close my eyes. Weeping. Feeling dark eyes boring into my soul. My eyes turn red with passion, and I feel like she is my mortal sin. Is her temptation so great that I can never be forgiven? Or is she a gift from God, another blessing I’ve been given? Like the angels wreathed in fire, she is stunning beyond compare Is she evil, using it against me? Or is beauty just her curse? And will that curse, in turn, lead me to my hearse? If I kiss her lips, will poison drown my veins? So that only the dust of a once fruitful life remains? But I love how her ghostly apparition flows through my fingertips. Like the eastern coast beckoning the arrival of long lost ships.

Desperate Need
A beautiful face with dark intentions Fake confidence hides her evil nature A lust driven angel she'll tear you apart No mercy for her victims lips like razors I'm ****** into you Falling deeper into your black soul bleeding tears of broken glass How could you do this? Play ***** with my heart want me, use me, hate me blame me for your weakness Watch her move across the floor a graceful dance of self-destruction Not two days ago you smiled with dark flames scorching my benevolence burning my affection I'm ****** into you Falling deeper into your black soul bleeding tears of broken glass You open up to me i see an illusion of purity and heartache striking at my sympathy Now i see the real you twisted black a sunless hole of *** and anguish No more room for pathetic emotions like love and happiness now there's only agony I'm ****** into you Falling deeper into your black soul bleeding tears of broken glass bleeding tears of broken glass

Tears Of Broken Glass
Passion. What a defining emotion. It calls and beckons all of us. It wraps it’s light around us. We seek it out in all aspects of our lives. Sometimes, if we are lucky, It can find its way into our lives. Like our breath in winter, True passion can be seen. It can be felt. It can be a source of warmth. It can be a reminder of the world around us. True passion is what we strive for. Passion in our arts, Passion in our dreams, Passion in our hearts. What do I want? I want love. Not just any love, But a deep and passionate love That breaks the stereotypes And brings me to my knees. I want a love that will break all walls And deliver me from my fears. I want a love that comes naturally. I want a love I have to fight for. I want a love that fights for me. In this world, Where everything is fake, And everything is material, I want a love that will and can be real. A love that will pick me up, Lift me from my ashes, Bring me to a whole new world Of fire and pure emotion. I want a love that will, Above all things, Love me for everything I am. That will go the distance and back again. I want a love that will tear me down, Destroy me as a person And bring me back to life. I want to feel as if I am breathing For the very first time. I want a love that will Take a risk. Make a leap of faith And find itself standing tall Against all odds. I want a love that is full Of passion and reality. I want a love that is going To push me to my limits. I want a love that is going To envelop my mind. To figure out exactly who I am And what makes me tick. I want a love that will be There for me when I need it. And give me space when I need it. I want a love that will Make my blood boil. Enrage me and make me cry, Just so that I know when All is said and done, Love will be there still. Like a champion among lesser men, I want loves ties to never break. I want a love that will punish me For my wrong doings. I want a love that will pleasure me Without me even having to ask. I want a love that can make life stand still Like there is no one else in the world And the only thing that matters is being with me In that moment In total completeness. I want a love that can make me smile, Just by being present. I want a love that will Cast out all doubts and suspicions. I want a love that I can be care free And allow myself to just be me. I want a love that doesn’t need words Or reassurance. I want a love that is an extension Of not only my body And my mind, But my soul. I want a love that I can be selfish with, And never want anyone else to know As well as I do. I want a love That I can plain and simply Call my own.

I sleep here On my bed of needles My nightmares blurring into my reality The hills are alive But I'm dying beneath them My ears are bleeding from the absence of music And I'm choking on these words Gasping for air Grasping for an escape And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, For loving you is worse than spending an eternity in hell No hope now Heaven is closed I'm trapped, treading thin ice One wrong move and I'll crash Drowning in your frozen love Being with you Is like feeding an addiction My skin burning for you No scars to relieve my pain No one can save me now, I plunge you in my veins And here you go a one way shot to my heart Destroying me on your path My head is spinning The world turns Grey I'm suffocating under you And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, For loving you is worse than spending an eternity in hell are you here to watch me burn?

Addiction
Winter is falling on a love so cold Snow flakes are dancing while a life grows old I look to the east and see a setting sun my hands are shaking on the trigger of a loaded gun my eyes are teary as I look to the end But the sky will never be The same shade of blue again

The Sky Will Never Be The Same Shade Of Blue Again
A white lily floating down the river Styx. Untouched by detestation. Is she my hope? my warmth? my salvation? Or is she something else, Meant to drag me under? Plunge me into Cocytus, my flowing lamentation?

Rivers Running Black
Oh and she danced across the floor, evermore, footsteps keeping paces with my heart. She raised a hand, beckoning my way, an open invitation of love or lust. I raised a brow, knowing all to well the kind of lies she'd have me lay with. I turned to go, but beauty has a way of never letting go. Oh and she danced across the floor, evermore, footsteps keeping paces with my heart.

Never Letting Go
Why did you tell me That everything was great? Why did you tell me That it was the perfect date? Why did you look at me With care and joy? Why did you see That I was a great boy? Why did you ask me Never to leave? Why did I ask you To do the same for me? Why did you show me The beautiful you inside? Why did you then Run off and hide? Why did I think I was one swell guy? Why did you Tell me the same and lie? Why did you end it Saying I had issues? Why did I even still Long to kiss you? Why did you tell me You thought we could be friends? Why did I believe you And try and make amends? Why do you avoid me And tell me we should wait? Why do I still care And think it’s not too late? Why do I still think There’s something I did wrong? Why is it still For you that I long? Why is it now We don't even speak? What is it about me That you find weak? I guess I have some issues That give you some concern, But I hope that we can works things out And become close again in turn. I know that we were us For only two short weeks But I still cared for you And thought you very sweet. But oh well I say I have my box of tissues I doubt you will write back I guess I still have issues

I Guess I Have Some Issues
When beauty finds thee Trapped in toiled imagination the stars do shine more brilliant than any man hath beheld But when beauty declines A hole opens And leaves thee gasping evermore When thy to God do pray, to help thee find a way Beauty beckons thee the very next day Thy soul doth leap in joyous song And thy heart does play along But when thou doest, a revelation doth occur: Happiness is never pure. Even when upon the world thou sits, Beauty may free thy mind. Or tear at thy sight, make thee blind. When beauty’s not but a wish, Thou knowest nothing compares. The worlds jealousy common shares. When beauty plays a seductive dance, A lustful art known by chance. And every moment spent in beauty's grace Leaves thee trapped in beauty's love. The pleasure pain rest not only in thy chest But in thine eye. Thine nose. Thine hand. Thine skin. Thine lips. And beauty's touch is needed more Then oxygen or water. Thou wantest to bathe in beauty's touch With bated breath. Touch it. Hold it. But thou finds thyself blocked by a mountain made of glass. This mountain is taller than thou could ever hope to climb, Wider than thou ever hope to pass. What of this? Is thou free to climb, Knowing full well thou will never see an end? Or dost thou choose to walk, Hope that a day will pass when mountains end and beauties begin do meet, Ready to be wrapped in a loves embrace? Or does thou journey elsewhere? Scour the earth in a futile attempt to find something else That can compare to a summers day? To what dost thou owe beauty? Nothing at all. Even still, beauty is worth times sacrifice. So I say, thou work hard. Build thyself a stepping stone. Fight for beauty and one day beauty shall be found. Though the roads travel is like a window into time, Endless, infinite, full of memories and regrets. Still, journey on. Never lose sight of beauty. For win or loss, time is time well spent, Chasing after an aureate phoenix.

Are you with me? Endless nights of sleeplessness, My mind wanders over your body. Not in the sense of the stereotypical But rather in a sense of closeness. I sit tonight and pray, Pray for a happy heart. The feelings I bear for you Will not be compromised by a past. Are you with me? The Sadness in my soul Is ever lingering, Ever with me. Like my hair You find so humorous, The scars of my heart Can only be hidden for so long. Are you with me? There is a summer rain sprinkling Over an ocean as vast as time. I would gladly give it to you, But you must be ready. Like the sea, My ocean can be fierce. It can rage and storm, But it harbors life and beauty. You are my moon, A gravitational force That pulls my ocean towards you, Controlling it's tides. Are you with me? Like the Physics You so diligently work, I too require diligence. I care nothing of The attributes you find flaws in. To me, those are “flaws” to be Touched, Kissed, Caressed, And held. What I do care for, Are your thoughts, And your soul. To me, those are to be Loved, Cherished, Nourished, And Exalted. Are you with me? Contrary to popular belief, I am no reader of minds. I must be told about your thoughts. Do not take your mind lightly, For it is a beautiful thing. I long to know what passes through it. Are you with me? Diligence means being Unconditional and unrestricted. Speak your thoughts openly and honestly, That is the only thing I ask of you. I desire to make the world yours. To take care of you and be with you, But only in exchange For your freedom of self. Are you with me?
