My soul was crudely etched into a wall by unseen figures casually strolling through the universe on late night musings.
They forgot to add an element though, and so I have been searching east and west for whatever they might have missed.
They filled my lungs with self doubt and electric pulses of insecurity.
I have been trying to model a caricature of what they think I shouldn't be,
a lonely dust gathered blueprint of the actual me.
They filled my veins with flame and gave me causes without a name,
but I guess I don't mind.

All I know, all I dream...
is that my blood is made of chaotic words trying to make sense in the darkness.

And I want to show the world my open wounds.
Your god is forged from wolves,  
dressed as men, with hungry eyes.
The day I watched them feast is when I turned my back on
god.

When a voice whispered in the emptiness, "Let there be light.",
an echo murmured back,
"Let there be darkness."
Eyes wide shut can't tell the difference.

I spray ashes from my lungs
left by cities which you've burned;
refuse your pious nature
and praise you never earned.

Somewhere deep in hiding,
the light will wait in patience,
while you drown the world in darkness
with the evil you created.

please oh please don’t feel sorry for me
just because my love happens to be poison ivy
she makes me itch she makes me scratch
but I’ll always be ready to jump in the next batch
she makes me rub until I am sore
but with out her my happiness fades more and more
every few weeks she clears from my body
green leaves of three why won’t you love me
I try my best, I just don’t know what to do
when i venture through your bush I’ll even take off my shoe
I dream of the day it’s just you and I
but until that day I’ll sit here and sigh
I sometimes wonder if i should just call off the chase
but I can’t just stop thinking about you, you’re all over my face
I know I can’t change you so I won’t even try
i love everything you do to me especially that rash on my thigh
so don’t pity this boy and his green leaves of three
she has spread to my eyes and is now all I see
First poem I ever wrote in highschool. 2008

There are plenty of flowers that flourish in my garden
Too many to pick just one, but all the days of my life to enjoy the ones I choose
One at a time I pluck my next blossom
I choose just one and allow her inside
Her beloved aroma excites my nostrils
Her beauty brightens each day I am with her
However with each day that beauty dims
Those vibrant colours dull and fade
My once beloved fragrance now bores me
For its been the same smell day after day
I ask "What’s wrong my love, why are we no longer satisfied with each others company?"
My love does not respond to my query
Yet her reply does come to me in time
Nothing in this universe shall stay the same
My flower is no longer the flower i once choose from my garden
My love for this flower is now gone with my realization
Does this make me a bad person?
I think not
isn’t love just an emotion
Can I not as easily fall in and out of love as I become happy or sad
With this thought I travel back outside
To choose from the many flowers that flourish in my garden
2008
I hope I have improved over time.

Introvert, extrovert, people of every kind
The toughest battles we face take place within the mind
So take what you need to try and unwind
You're not the only one who's feeling behind
We all suffer the same so remember to be kind
You never know what other troubles people find
Without the needless actions and speaking of others with malign
If you've ever done this leave those habits behind
So that we can all focus on alleviating our own internal grind

Your sweet voice swirls like black smoke,
uncoiling,
speaking a song of heartbreak
& the *****
compliments rolling percussion,
screaming hope from nothing.
You just want to be a woman,
nothing less.
You turn the wheels of desire,
rasping
from deep within
your genuine lady-soul.
I am sorry for your hurt,
I know the ******* of intimacy
& it tears us apart.
I do believe
we're only slaves
in between sets.
Delicious-traces
still linger
on my tender-fingers.
But pace yourself darling,
I want to see that same look on your face,
again.
I never sleep,
only my
nymph is asleep.
Don't wake the giant,
he's got a tool
a special weapon
that can smash you
into delightful pieces,
tasty morsels.
I hate myself
when I break my diet,
put my hand into the cookie jar.
But if I hide them,
I go hungry.
