Born: June 30, 1987 / Age:25 / Poetry Genre: Dark / / Have been writing poetry for almost my whole life. Became more serious about it in 2007. Most of the poems relate to how or what I'm feeling. Some are based on life experiences, my mortality, and spirituality.
The rivers were overflowing
But still I knew where I was going
Fires came and burned in glory
But still I knew where I was going
Directed others down different paths
Delivered them to their destinations at last
Lost my way
Lost my life
Down each road
Down the knife
Open wounds
Open eyes
Closed the tombs
Closed the skies
Guiding others is a lonely journey
A simple life
But ain't it funny
How something so small, could have great depths
A treasure trove of pain and death
Guiding others is a lonely road
Which one will take me down, below?

Must I fight for peace
When I never stood a chance
Must I fight this beast
Must I **** a man
To reawaken my conviction
To cast my pain aside
Must I try to hide it
Or should I just die
Swallow every pill
To **** me slowly
Saving my demise for my one and only
Screaming out the truth silently inside
Dying a little bit every time
I wish this loud voice in my head could be silenced
But hate is love
And heaven is violence

You wrap around my body
You tie me up with your charm
You break down my defenses
I lower my guard
Infected my heart
Infected my skin
I cannot let you go
I'll always let you in
Your vines embrace me
They hold me tight
Your love is heaven
It gives me light
Unconditionally you love me despite my harsh words
You hold me high and put me first
Gentle kisses and beautiful green eyes
A green fever I cannot deny
My Dear
My Darling
My Counterpart
You carved out a special place in my herat

I danced for the king
And those of the court
To entertain the masses,
no matter the rapport
I laughed off the laughs
I laughed off the lies
Told myself they'll never see you cry
I danced on the tables
I danced on the chairs
I danced in great halls
I danced during grand affairs
Thought I was loved but it was a lie
A fool was all I was in their eyes
I wanted to be loved so I sold them all lies
But the fool was all I was in their eyes

You were the light when the dark came in
You were the air when I came crashing down
To soften the blow before I hit the ground
And broken bones tell no lies
And broken hearts hide deep inside
To avoid the pain on the outside
You were the rain when the fire came
You were the sound when I couldn't hear my name
To awaken my bones and bring me to life
From the dead where it was oh so quiet
And broken bones tell no lies
And broken hearts hide deep inside
To silence the drumming
To silence the thunder in my veins
I remeber that love is blind
The love I had for you burned me alive

Born with tragedy in his veins
Set his heart into flames
Ashes are all that remain
Hollow on the inside
But warm to the touch
Seeking a heart to devour
Through the world he scoured
Echos call to me
Distant voices longing
To fall on open ears
Traveling for miles
Traveling for years
Over land, over seas
Love is a yearning beast
Searching in chasms
Looking through bars
Running through deserts
Canvassing the stars
Chasing the moonlight under my feet
Following the rumble
Moving toward the beat
Of every heart in every chest
I am in a state of unrest
Moving toward the beat
Faster and faster go my feet
Love has turned me into a beast

Shed the demons from my breath
With every word I said
Aloud
Cold nights show the walking dead
With strangers lying in my bed
And regrets running through my head
Black Tongue
Moves the words around in my mouth
My heart
Wants the words to come out
My head
Knows what the words are about
Black Tongue
You wag about
But now I'm going to cut you out
Sinners are always yearning for salvation
All they need is an invitation
To be saved
From games I don't really want to play
Instead of leaving out the door I just stay
To let you walk on my grave
To **** me in every way

A girl waits for prince charming
To be carried to her on the wind
Arriving on a white horse
To quickly swoop in
To save her from the dark
To save her from demise
One glance at him will bring stars to her eyes
Her heart will beat louder than a drum
Her skin will turn white as if she’s seen a ghost
She will believe that he’s fallen from heaven
He will be hers and she will be his
Exchanging loving words through moments of bliss
Sometimes love is amiss
But not when you’re hit with cupid’s kiss

The words that I knew to be true
Once said from me to you
Echo throughout this hollow room
The life that I once knew
Ended in the fire that purified you
And left me to linger in this hollow room
Now a memory of who I used to be
And now a ghost
Still haunted by every lie
And now a memory of what once stood before me
And now a ghost
Now so hollow and lost in the shadows
Now just a ghost
In the in between for eternity
Every thought fades away from
Every word is a whisper that cannot be heard
I will fade to darkness
I will stay where I am
With no light in my hand
I will stay in darkness
I don’t even recognize myself
I don’t even know who I am
Can I be free from this hell?
Or will I become like the wind
Transparent and void
Will I hear my name again?
I don’t think so
For now just a ghost
Lost in the shadows
For eternity
I’m only a memory

From the sun
Born golden
Darkness in our hearts
The chosen
Water fills our lungs
Drowned in the sea
Words leave us as we pray
Saying what we were never meant to say
I am nothing
Living on faith and time
My heart’s a window
For the devil to creep inside
