Buried Alive
michael gagain Mar 2014
Darkness

so dark...

I can't breath

I can't. I can't...

extend my arms,

that noise

that god awful

scratching noise.

there's something,

something crawling

on me,

my God

I'm In a box,

Those are...

rats

rats trying to get in.

and spiders

on me,

so many spiders

did I die?

is this purgatory?

get them off of me

I need air...

that scratching

that...

wash the brain
michael gagain Apr 2013
to wash the brain
of all it's thoughts
to scrub it clean
memories lost

start anew
all over again
brand new thinking
your old friends
there not seeking

your new mind it is weakening
your brain cells stumble
they are tweeking

your not the man
you used to be
you changed so much
they all will see

beliefs are different
so are you
your mind is gone
but not for long
your body is here
but you do not care

your way of thinking is no more
you knew the risk
you knew the score

now you know ..your god no more
it's some  one else you now adore

A man gone mad
michael gagain Apr 2013
slicing of the flesh...without taking a breath
eerily creeping..stealth a test
running from the law..an impossible feat
inside his mind...the demons retreat
at peace with himself..at least he thinks
lapping at violence...a tragidy at the least

**** for the rush..in the past for fun
in the forrest....his bodies bake in the sun
long ago..a child abused..now a thing of the past...he will use
last victim killed...it was hunting season
every one  in town..stayed in for this  reason
relentless this one..not a man..but a creature of darkness...no love in his plans
spell out the first letter from the first word in each sentence....for the conclusion...enjoy

Little girl lost
michael gagain Sep 2014
Society dictates who we are
barbies fake and leaves a scar
we allow this everyday
little girls lost in hips that sway...

Models, runways and magazines
throwing up lunch in porcelain dreams
we allow this everyday
bullying, cutting crimson grey...

36-24-36  for who?
leave it be, doesn't have to be you
we allow this everyday
girls are depressed, that's not okay...

The day will come to realize
it's not their fault they wear disguise
we allow this everyday
it's a shame is what I say...

Gift from above
michael gagain Apr 2013
when you look up to the sky at night
millions of brilliant spots of light
encicrcle the world
what a sight

three wise men were guided by one
people name them
they think its fun

clouds may keep them..out of sight
Gallileo studied them
to his delight

they been around us...so very long
before Jesus walked this very land

we take a minute....when we can
to stop ..look up and have a stare

we make love to each other
under there light
write poems about them...all the time

some people say...that they can read them
as for me
i don't believe em

our sign of birth...is made up of them
telescopes..will bring them close
the nearest one...is our sun

they are a gift from up above
he who made us
had so much love

eventually they will burn out
but there light still comes to us
as if never wanting to leave

they been here way before the earth was born
they shall remain
long after where gone

The torso
michael gagain Apr 2013
while out in the woods
hunting one day
a lump of flesh...lay in my way

maggot infested..from months in the shade
this pile before me ....was rot and decay

i could not think....of nothing to say
so i knelt to the ground
and started to pray

i should of run
but my mind said to stay
the stench was so bad
even the rats kept away

you see many things in the woods during may
but nothing like what lies at my feet....i do say

i wondered who this used to be
there was not much left
you could clearly see

there won't be anymore hunting for me
you'll find me at home
in front of t.v

~The Dance~
michael gagain Sep 2014
The breeze comes down the mountain
like a cool moist autumn tease
it will kiss the leaves and let them dance
and make you feel at ease

Like when the warmth from your breath
tickles on my ear
ensuing sweet nothings mean the world
I so love it when you're near

The roses which i hold so dear
have all but wandered off
except the one i give to you
her petals silky soft

I give to you my broken heart
forgive me can you fix
I have little time upon this earth
the clock it quickly ticks

I watch your lochs fall like rain
running down your back
before i die i give to you
my love on bible stack

As i breathe one last breath
your pretty eyes they smile
you kiss my lips and say "I love you"
you'll be there in a while

Remember when we'd dance for hours
in torrential rain
making love under starry skies
and never feeling shame

Now I say goodbye my love
and slowly close my eyes
thank you honey I love you too
as i die with one last smile...

Devils tears
michael gagain Apr 2013
No longer can he roam...in disguise



He is losing the battle...with the holiest of spirit's

He is at last to tire......his face it wears it



To many souls have crossed the line

There siding with god...all the time



Not one to give up...since the creation of all

I been fighting this battle......i must not fall



Thrown from heaven...into the heat

It's getting much colder...i feel defeat



I will try once more...to gather my souls

I will wipe my tears....and get what i'm owed



I lost the battle once again...the numbers get smaller

I can not pretend



My work almost finished...i'm back to my tears

I have not cried so much...for thousands of years



I  have reigned my terror....all they can stand

The almighty himself...has a different plan



I will give up now.....theres way to much pain

I'm stepping aside ...to let the big man reign

Reminisent Moon
michael gagain Mar 2014
Translucent fluidity

embraces the horizon

ageless tranquility

timeless as life itself

hanging, illuminating

looking so sad

look at me, I'm never mad

for I am here for you

you write about me

you talk to me

you look at me

you make love under me

you will one day be gone

yet I will endure

you love me...

~Mindful Lovers~
michael gagain Sep 2014
I sit on the porch in the noonday sun,
hot as the devil. All the humidity in the world leaving my pores
in a race to see who can leave the biggest puddle.
I feel like I'm a fire, blazing, smoldering...

The only breeze is the one blowing through my mind,
of a girl, thousands of miles away, but I see her standing in front of me.
As beautiful as always, hair to her waist, the prettiest lips I've ever seen.
**** she's gorgeous...

Then the deafening sound of thunder breaks my thoughts, startles me
back to reality. rattling my bones to the core, lightning strikes blinding my vision.
the sky turns grey, darker, darker almost black...

The rain has yet to come,but man is it going to come.
the crack of thunder sends me into a dream, a daydream of sorts
of something I can never have, a heart that belongs to another...

When I open my eyes again I'm wet, not from the rain,
not from the humidity, but from the tears coming down my face in streams.
the sun was shining and It's was hot as hell but... the only storm...

                  Was the one in my mind,

The one we have no control over, the battle deep within our soul
the fight we always lose. the torment and pain we all feel,
when we can't get what we want...

But I see her always, the beautiful smile and inviting translucent eyes.
I need you
      I want you
             I love you...
I can never have you, until I sleep and we live, laugh and love

                   See you in my dreams sweetheart...

never ending rhyme
michael gagain Apr 2013
a man in his mind
if his mind is right
is it possible at all
to venture from rhyme

i think it not
but to try at this time
to write a poem
without the rhyme

our mind it thinks
sometimes on it's own
no rhyme or reason
maybe you just alone

our thoughts run deep
to the unknown
where ideas are born
maybe darkened
and worn

write what you think
without thinking at all
many poets do it
it must be there call

let it go
slowly at first
it will soon speed up
without knowing at all

write about birds
or about bees
write about
men woman or trees
write about love
write about death
write from your heart
and from your head

see what i mean
about the rhyme
it happens to me
all of the time

Tree
michael gagain May 2013
Arms stretched..to the sky

woodpeckers nibbling at my thigh



My hair of green

to shroud you from heat



The powers that be

make sure i've water to drink



Storms will rip me from the ground

wind through my hair...makes a beautiful sound



I will color my hair..in a new season

you will come to stare...for this reason



I stand with many

for hundreds of years

you chop me down..and nobody cares





Lightning has killed me...many times

when you were a child...you would often climb



Now i must go...you killed me so

i can not continue...unable to grow



You cut me up and built a place to live

together forever...i gave all i can give......

~Terrified~
michael gagain Nov 2015
The capillaries in your eyes begin to burst
your face turning purple is quenching my thirst
the veins in your head  are starving for blood
your gurgling saliva comes in a flood...

I remove the ligature from around your neck
smiling coyly void of repent
I leave you a string of beautiful pearls
from your ******* to your ***** a mess unfurled...

I am the nightmare you had as a child
I'm the thing under your bed nasty and vile
I lived in your closet and haunted your mind
twenty years later and I've made you mine...

I break your fingers...one at a time
I ****** into you deeper the feeling sublime
your screaming enhancing my ******* bliss
I give you heartfelt passionate kiss...

I read you your horoscope for this day
it reads stay home... keep demons away
lucky for me you came out to play
I picked you up like a cute little stray...

I will drop you off at the door to your home
you will never again walk the streets alone
******, broken, crying and beat
you will forever remember this day of defeat...

Don't forget to check under your bed
it just may be me to **** with your head
look in your closet, look deep and you'll find
I will forever reside in your terrified mind...

the visit
michael gagain Apr 2013
it's midnight
there's a knock at the door
as always
there's no warning at all

i'm not answering it
i know who it is

he's been here before
then the bright light brought me out of it
he's back
more persistent than ever

another knock
harder
much louder

im not gonna answer
leave me alone
it's not yet my time to go home

wheres the light that saved me
the first time round

i'm waiting
no light

its time to give in
it's time for him
to process all my worldly sins

the man upstairs
has punched my ticket
theres no recourse

i caught a break first time round
this time it's over
i have been found

the man at the door
without voice or face
is here to give the world more space

he's here to collect my soul
the reaper himself ..
who prays on the weak..the sickly the old....

Sea of me
michael gagain Mar 2014
I'm drowning in a sea,

not of water, but of me.

tormented turmoil tightens,

prevailing darkness ensues.

Deaths domain dominates,

loosen this noose,

dull the razors edge.

ground me from my leap.

save me from drowning in myself...

Soul collector
michael gagain Mar 2014
She is but, a little girl lost

with a tormented mind,

that came at great cost...

To bare witness, as she has done,

the brutality of death,

her mind on the run...

As I come up behind her, shadowing hate,

the message I leave,

will seal her fate...

It is her time,

she will never reside,

as she plays with the death, the blood and the slime...

Some of us chosen,

some of us choose,

some of of us monsters, have nothing to lose...

Innocence lost

on a dark winter day,

follow the shadow, come out and play...

sunshine maybe not
michael gagain Apr 2013
you were born from me
you live with me
every night

some times i scare you
and give you fright

sometimes your lost
inside me

at times
i will take over you thoughts
and destroy your mind

there are times you hide beside me
often you want to escape me

sometimes i hide within your shadow
i will eclipse the sun

and when it's time
for you to die
you will return to me

I am the dark...

Nothing to give
michael gagain May 2013
What do you want from me
I've nothing to give
except for my heart
which continues to live

You mean the world
the entire thing
you make me smile
you make me sing

What could be better than to be with you
how could i ever possibly lose
I will give you the life you've always deserved
and with this said
I give you my word

Kill me
michael gagain Mar 2014
Slithering along the basement wall,

slipping in blood, down darkened hall,

candle lit way, sweat rolls down

breathing rapid, I'm at a crawl...

Reaching the end of outstretched chain,

writhing in blackness and undeniable pain,

flickering flame, barely a light,

trapped in a prison, not knowing my name...

Somebody hear me, help set me free,

this basement dungeon isn't for me,

If you're done with malice and torment,

blow out the candle, quickly **** thee...

Is it me
michael gagain Mar 2014
It's not me you see

when you look into my eyes,

but a master of rhyme,

In a horrid disguise...

A killer of killers

a darkened soul,

a thoughtless mind,

a man on a roll...

You think you know me,

but think again.

I wear two faces,

while playing pretend...

Next time you see me,

step to the side,

let yourself think,

Is he in disguise...

Pain
michael gagain May 2013
I felt pain today

within my mind

hear what i say



my mind it swelled twice the size

only thing left

was to cry





i will tell you this

do not dismiss



your deepest thoughts

or forever

they will

be sadly missed



next time you think

of love gone by

don't hold your tears

or wonder why



make a stand

and start anew

refresh your mind

and change your view

shine

then i will be happy
