I want to burn the world

see my plan unfurled

watch the masses on fire

their screams make the flames rise higher

i want to burn

i hate to learn

new things in this world that keeps turning

**** with me, and you'll be burning

I am the first, so with fire i start

i am a monster, known as mark

A Day of Hearts
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Ever since the day I met you
I felt that I had always known you
And knew that I would do
Anything to have you
In my life
As time goes by
I realize
My life would be empty without you
You smile
For a while
And my heart leaps from my chest
We're not a love like the rest
All peons and serfs
Without a single shred of worth
Compared to your vibrance
You had me in a trance
I can hardly wait for that dance
that symbolizes
and energizes
A love flowing through my lingual art
On this our wedding day
A day of hearts
I vow to love you
Forever
I vow to hold you
Forever
I vow to hurt you
never
I vow my life to you
Forever
And i hope we will always remember
This heartfelt endeavor
Forever and ever
Until time takes its toll
Where i hope we may take a stroll
In a vast beautiful green park
And remember our wedding day
On a day of hearts
(c) Steven Forrester

So Cold
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I am so cold
I'm so cold I'm as cold as ice
I am so cold
I'm so cold not even magma will suffice
To melt my anger away
To melt the pain from my veins
With a heart suspended in liquid nitrogen
My fury explodes like hydrogen
I am so cold
I'm so cold everything i touch freezes
I am so cold
I'm so cold I'm colder than the coldest breezes
Blowing through the channels of time
Blowing, writhing, sending chills up your spine
As you live your life away
Upon your death day
When you are warm and so very old
Maybe you'll remember me
The man who was so cold

Firefly Haze III
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Sebastian
Sweet Sebastian
Your all alone now
You're wondering how
It could end up like this
As you stumble through mist
Thinking of better nights
Thinking of more than one light
You walk down the halls
Feeling the walls
Nothing can help your plight
You'll lose even if you fight
So walk deeper my boy
Walk deeper sweet boy
Follow the fairy
But always be wary
Of your cold dark void
The one in your heart
Yes that one in your heart
That never will start
Again
My friend
You must live out your days
Exploring my maze
Guided by this firefly haze

Candy Rose
Steven Forrester May 2012
A sweeping feeling
Crosses your face
A pace
Of rapid motion
A notion
Of life
Who knows
The power of prose
As I'm captivated by a candy rose
Sweet scent filling the air
Despair
Cant help but run
Its fun
Taunting, and teasing
My mind
I find
I cant deny
And I ask why?
Why would someone hurt you
Why would someone make you cry
Jealousy
Mostly
Butterflies flutter fretfully
As I say goodnight
And I go home at a slower pace
Knowing nothing cant take the smile from my face
:)

Balance
Steven Forrester May 2013
There's a rumbling
In my mumbling
Stumbling
Into nothing
And something
Comes true
Whether a dream
Or a wish
It's up to you
So what to do
Be the tool
Or act the fool
Pull up a stool
And drink
And think
But mostly sink
Into everything
You thought my words were gone
I was only resting
And wrestling
My mind
Simply trying to find
Balance

Ramble
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Ramble, ramble
A treacherous sample
Of a love
So pure and ample
Red like an apple
Ramble, ramble
I found a new life
Ramble, ramble
I've seen through new sight
As I sit
Happy and drunk
Also lit
But I'm out of that funk
Which has kept me down for so long
Now I'll sing a new song
Of love and of turmoil
A feeling you cant spoil
Like a snake in his coil
I rest and revel
As I am a rebel
To the world I'm on the level
As a messenger of the devil
A minion so ample
Merely a sample
As on and on
Till a new dawn
I'll ramble,
Ramble

An Ominous Man
Steven Forrester May 2016
I am a man
Full of misery
And doubt
So shout
If you feel my pain
Let it rain
And stay
For just a little while
Divide
Your vice
As I run outside
I realize
I am alive
And no one can stop me
Or drop me
The world is a blank canvas
As the colors take on my shape
I take a stand
As an ominous man

Keep on living
Steven Forrester Sep 2016
I can't tell you
How many times
My mind
Finds
The end
Looks mighty friendly

The world is painful
Its cruel
Am I strong enough?
What does this feeling fuel?

My mind watches
As a bullet rips through my brain
And blood stains my walls
And I'm left as a shell

But then.....

I picture
My sister
Finding me

My niece crying

My ex dropping to her knees
From the phone call

The paramedics covering my face

And my daughter's smile....

And I cry.

I cry because the end of your life
Brings pain to everyone you've loved
And every life you've touched

I would rather bear my pain
And carry on

Then hurt the ones I love

And so I kept on living.....

Morning Breath Kisses
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Morning breath kisses
Before everything begins
Before you weigh my many misses
Theres a feeling within
A feeling you get when you open your eyes
And see my subtle slumbering silent face
As peaceful as the skies
A once vile smell is gone without a trace
My love
You rise above
Into the light of my embrace
The alarm sounds
You'll soon be late
But you lean over and kiss my warm lips
I haven't brushed or even awoken yet
But that doesn't matter
Our love is all you taste
(c) Steven Forrester

Death's Deception
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
All day and night
We dance
We dance to take flight
We dance to still the pain
We dance to mke the rain
Fall
Upon the wall
The wall that is a deception
A fatal reception
This wall is that of death
It steals our every breath
Until we are merely the lights of souls
The souls of those lost
We've been tossed
Into the flow of spirits
Dead and gone
From wars and sickness
From old and young
Tremendous is the thickness
Of the quantity of souls in which we float
Upon a boat
Drivin he who is called the grim
Grim the reaper
A reaper of the souls
Of the people
The people that shunned him
When he was alive
And the tables have turned
When in his river we must dive
He comes as merely a man
As he stands
He shows his true form
A being of lies
All of his victims die
But he hurts inside
He can never reach perfection
He too was lied to
Trapped in his own deception

Echoes
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I hear it

Beneath the surface

Fighting for freedom

From its subconscious post

Inside its kingdom

Inside it's host

I knows its there

And i fear it

It knows i'm here

And i hear it

Her thoughts speak clearly

Of trechory

Of indignanty

Of infidelity

Of pain

And of suffering

Should I let go

Or should I ignore the echo
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester May 2016
A shroud of violence

A cloud of pestilence

inside a darkness flows

its something everyone knows

inside this darkness grows

from my head down to my toes

i feel nothing in my heart

as if stabbed by a dart

you try to eliminate this harshness

but all thats left is darkness

Dream Girl
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Can a dream come alive
Jump straight out of your mind
Be real, in present time
A thin veil separates my dream
From reality
But I can see
Her hand upon the veil
Listen to another tale
Look again and there she is
Standing there in front of me
Waiting
Hoping
I reach for her
Pull her close
Move in to kiss her
And she's gone
Dreams are fleeting
And teasing
But she is real
And soon will not disappear
(c) Steven Forrester

Boiling Point
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
She chewed me up
And spit me out
She ****** me in
Now I want to shout
As my fury rises
The pain hypnotizes
Totally mesmerizes
And now I cry
For love once gained
But is now lost
I feel that I've been tossed
Aside
I cant hide
From this tangle of lies
She claims to love another
Yet she meets me under covers
And now she left me in the dirt
Lonely and hurt
And now I'm sure
In every bone
And every joint
I'm all alone
Soaring past my boiling point

Just a Thought
Steven Forrester Dec 2017
Darkness
And pain
In my mind
They reign
My life is just a stain
On a cosmic napkin
Celestial garbage
So to speak
And my knees?
Well every day
They seem a little more weak
Every night
Life gets a little more bleak
How can we survive?
Pull up a chair
And have a seat
Let me tell you a story
About the meek
For its we
Who have the power
To change......

Scars
Steven Forrester Jun 2013
What is worse?
A physical cut
Or an emotional jab
A corporeal hit
Or a mental stab
Upon my skin
My scars do fade
But in my soul they do remain
The memories are clear as day
As you disappear in to the night
I feel my heart's rhythm subside
Do you see
You're tormenting me
I explode into the dark
Searching for your spark
And your gone
But you soon reappear
Casting doubt upon my fear
Weilding your astral dagger
Another slice and I stagger
Yet I am addicted in my swagger
A night like tonight
Takes my will to fight
Anymore
But alas
That's true love
641 · Aug 2016
Time Lord
Steven Forrester Aug 2016
I see beauty in her face
Eyes glistening
Full of grace
Shyness apparent
In time and space
This life or a variant
There's no time to waste
Everything is in flux
Rocking my core
I want a taste
Of what
I'm not sure
My hearts are beating
Pulsing
Pure
In your eyes
I watch as a star is born
The magnitude
Of your gaze
So much larger
Than my box
We close the door
Wave good bye to the past
But this is no end
My friend
Let the adventure begin.

Insomnia
Steven Forrester Feb 2011
I'm tired
But wired
On fire
With desire
I admire
The life of a liar
Steeped in dire...
...Need
This seed
Brings me
To the start of this deed
Released
And deceased
I'm diseased
And sick
This wick
From my candle
Grows dim
Do you know this?
This bliss
Exists
With insomnia's sweet kiss

Candice
Steven Forrester Aug 2014
The mother of my child
Is the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on
I may not deserve her
But I do have her
Through all the bad I've done
I still feel as if I've won
Some cosmic contest
Of collaborative conquest
But i digress
Should you find
A love like mine
That freezes time
For you
Don't dilly
Or dally
I'm being silly
Life in this valley
Seems livable
When I look at her face
Listen to her voice
Everything is choice
I know it's sappy
And you probably cant stand this
But I just have to say
I love you Candice

Please
Steven Forrester Oct 2016
I'm sorry I'm not better....

Forgive me, I'm trying so hard....

My life is rebuilding....

Ever so slowly...

I will never hate you...

No matter the torture...

I wish I had been better...

I am a loser...

Clawing my way up...

Please stop the hate...

Please stop the punishment...

******* it, I'm sorry...!

Please forgive me...

I'm trying...

So ******* hard...

To hate you...

But I can't....

A Day of Hearts Shattered
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Mistrust
Misleading you
To meander through hate
Our fate
Is sealed
As glass slams against my flesh
I stand strong against the threat
Insanity grips her soul
Sarah, I do not love you anymore
You've lost your beauty
Lost your purity
Lost your touch
Your not worth as much
I've left you
Because you left me
Beaten and battered
How do you feel now
That our love is shattered
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Inside a feeling of darkness diminishes

Before my goal finishes

I think i'm losing control

I think i'm losing my hold

Enter a muse to my rescue

As my darkness goes askew

A head which color's changes

As i stare in blank faces

Is this love in my heart

Which strikes me like a dart

Or as an arrow from cupids bow

My darkness is at an all time low

Happiness rises inside

During a long time to bide

If u fall in love follow this fact

If u fall, the darkness takes a disappearing act

This Life
Steven Forrester Mar 2012
Sometimes I wonder
What's with life
What's with pain
What's with money
And how do we gain
This life is a train
Just bouncing, bumbling, and barreling through
It's a long ride
A painful stride
And a graceful glide
This life
Has me upside down
Just turned around
Thinking
Why's everyone so uptight
High strung
And just wound
Find me ripped
Whipped
Gripped
And lit
You got a secret?
Better to be tight lipped
Than split lipped
Then slip
Into eternity
Serenity
Is deafening
Defining
This life

The Vagrant
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I cant seem to find
That solid reason why
I try, and I try, and I try
To keep my spirits high
The world just falls apart
Shatters at my feet
Hoping my heart will start
As I fall down to my knees
Seeing the light through wary alarm
As I lie face down in the street
The blood does pool around me
Footsteps echo all around
A person who no one can see
A reverberating sound
One that doesn't exist
And now I'm gone
Another mark
On another list
It's all the same
Nobody really knows my name

Elipses
Steven Forrester Jul 2021
Dot dot dot
Three periods
Ellipses
It means I don't know what to say
I've left a lot of conversations
In just this way
I read people
Sometimes a little too well
And this pause
It fails to quell
This storming tide
Tempestuous in its turmoil
Tilting and tottering
As my heart is tossed around
Tiny tears trickling toward a sound
Slowly smoldering
Shouldering a stupendous
Shockwave
Electricity
Looking for the ground
For days I've tried to be there
For days I'm met with silence
For days I've been scared
Because it seems
Like no one cares
I'm languishing
I'm low
Lost in a listless lilting
Heart is wilting
And it feels like I'm growing cold
I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm just crazy
But in my experience...
...
...
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Sometimes
I hate my life
Sometimes
I think I should die
Sometimes
I've lost all my dreams
Sometimes
I just want to scream

I just want to scream
So loud

So loud
You hold your ears

You hold your ears
So tight

So tight
You lose all fear

You lose all fear
And desire
This fire
Which burns within
So much to be given
Sometimes
I think these things
Sometimes
I want to scream

Star-Bound
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
When starry night
Drapes the sky
I stare up
In wonder
Blinking out an ancient message
Telling of a long forgotten vestige
My mind wraps around
A wily, wiry, wavering sound
I find myself
Absorbed
And restored
Gaping upon the cosmos
Once again I hear the sound
Then my heart begins to pound
A pair of eyes draw me
To this conclusion
I see the night sky
When I see her blue eyes
A better muse than many
The color so vibrant
It does resound
This new specter
Has me star-bound
(c) Steven Forrester
582 · Jan 2011
A New Star
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Red hair so fiery
Pale freckled skin so fresh and fierce
Thoughts so wiry
With honey brown eyes that pierce
My very being
I love what I'm seeing
When I look at her
My words find me again
No longer deterred
But still insane
Fame and fortune
No so important
A melodic tune
Aurally imported
This beauty, you know who you are
A vibrant shining sentiment
Put simply, a new star

What's on Your Mind?

What's on your mind?
The world?
Your life?
Or others
In strife
Strife

A synonym of hardship
Though more powerful

Like making vocal
The feeling of despair
Back to the subject at hand

What's on your mind?

Thinking About You
Steven Forrester May 2012
In my mind
There is a vision
Precision
Is the key
And me?
I can hardly breathe
When she speaks to me
The world is hazy
It's crazy
How much I'm in to her
As I try to learn
Everything about her
She can make me smile
Just by saying hi
And I
Just can't help but be lifted
I'm gifted
In this situation
And patience
Is non-existent
I'm persistent
And head over heels
I wonder how she's real
Break the seal
And steal
My heart
My art
Seems to flow
And I know
It's you
Bringing through
Testifying to
The sky
I'm high
Just from you
Tell me?
What should I do
I barely knew
But I can't stop thinking about you

Give me Guns
Steven Forrester Jan 2013
I'm disappointed
And taken aback
I'm almost furious
As our second right
Falls under attack
This amendment
Is the foundation
In which our nation
Was created
I've tasted the bittersweet sorrow
Of this situation
A vulnerable position
Falls upon us now
I'll tell you how
To make the violence bow
Arm the public
This is crystal clear
Intended fear
Believe it or not
A mass shooting can't happen
If the shooter fears getting shot

Probably far

Just a tool I use
To catch your eye
And why?
Good question

Through the Looking Glass
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Let it pass
Is what they say
It's all in the past
One thousand yesterdays
But can they really tell
That inside I'm in hell
Trapped under a love spell
By someone who doesn't care anymore
And now I'm torn
Shredded to pieces
Battered and broken
In a river of tears
I sit soaking
Drowned in my fears
Can you hear the thunder
The thunder that pulls me under
The crimson tide
And the clover blood
I'm now undone
I know I cannot last
As I look into the past
Wishing the pain would pass
Till then I'll just stare
I'll stare through the looking glass
And try to forget the one who once cared

Does try
To see why
Every time

Pushed passed the pyre
I travel down the wire
With speed so dire
Feel my desire
Climb higher
And higher
And I admire
The funeral pyre
The sound of the crier
Burning the liars
I never tire
Scorching the world
I am FIRE

To take away the blame
My shame
Is not the same

So say
What you want
And taunt
The dragon
**** the flagon
And jump back on
Because a bull may buck
And the scorpion's no luck
For anyone
But her

My existence
Your resistance
Sound and resonance
Pain and arrogance
Humanity
Or vanity
Gluttony
Under scrutiny
I feel it's time for mutiny
We've been fed lies
Though we have open eyes
No one is watching
We're just waiting
While hating
And baiting
The hook
But it's out there
Not sure where
Don't quite care
But I can't just sit an stare
If you seek truth
Just look

I see red eyes
Staring down upon me
Seeing everything I see

Staring down is the eye
So high up in the sky
I take my last breath
And I stumble upon blissful death

Memories
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
an image

locked away and lost

gone yet vivid

until my block is tossed

all at once it consumes me

so much that i cannot see

anything in future or past

i cannot last

i remember the pain

striking into my back

i remember the rain

falling like tacks

my mind is frazzled and gone

i cannot see to the new dawn

my mind suffers many casualties

do to uncensored and vivid memories

Can You See?
Steven Forrester Apr 2019
Look in to my eyes
What do you see?
Can you see the pain I've seen?
Can you see the places I've been?
Can you see the people I've known?
Can you see how much I've grown?
Can you see that I'm alone?
Always
Can you see?
Green and gold dancing around the inky black
My pupils
In brightness contracted
From the light refracted
Giving substance to what stands before me
Can you see?
Despair and joy
Balancing in a brutal ballet
Brawny and brittle
Becoming barely blissful
A benevolent boquet
Of clover
Is this over?
No
My eyes have seen beauty
Perceived pain
Punished by pleasure
And pleasured in anguish
Can you see?
The person standing here
With eyes swimming
In a sea of green

Sunken Eye
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
It sees without really seeing
It hears us without being
It kills
It steals
It doesn't feel
It has only it's will
To fight
This night
Not caring what's wrong or what's right
Locked in
So tight
At the very brim of fright
It expands with a shallow sigh
It takes control of everything
This, sunken eye

Don't Let it Stop
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I feel that metal flowing
Now don't let it stop
The volume keeps on growing
To bring you all sweet, sweet rock!
The masses join the crowd
Now it's getting loud
As if lost in a heavy dream
I want to hear you scream
The music starts thumping
As my veins start pumping
Heated blood
Look what it does
I mosh and I thrash
I throw out the emo trash
Because I wont settle
For less than metal
That beat shows no signs of slowing
As we all begin to rock
Come on, feel that music flowing
And don't let it stop

Derailed
Steven Forrester May 2014
Life is tricky
Full of intricacy
If you look at history
It says it best
Love is dangerous
More lethal
Than mustard gas
Utterly noxious
My heart is fractured
Like bone
Rather than muscle
Unsung is my song
My story untold
In the shimmering light
My madness unfolds
I need rest
When did this thing...
Become such a test
My back is breaking
Under the stress
I fight
To no avail
I feel my brain
Becoming a train
Inevitably derailed

Girl's got me crushing so hard
I'm like a black hole
Pressure bulding up
On all sides
The compressions so thorough
That even the light dies
And gets ****** inside
And i cant even hide!
Not that I'd want to
My heartbeat
Fretfully flutters
Like its fighting to fly free
From my chest
Breathlessly waiting
For just one glance
Notice me.....

A Lost Love

Going through life
Through struggle and strife
When I close my eyes
I see only your face
It's like a race
I have to win
Before my heart snaps shut
But
I realize
That I've started to enjoy closing my eyes
There may be many things I lack
But i still want you back
As I close my eyes
I smile
If your ready to try again
Then so am I

Because
She doesn't want you
But she does want me

What am I gonna do?
Whatever you want me to?
I'm so far away from you
And I don't understand
This life I cant stand
Secrecy
Is a fallacy
A memory
Instantly
Drives me away
My mind continues
To scream
And to shout
What is my life about?
So
What do I do?

The Rain Returns
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Drip, drip, drip
Hear the the sound
on the ground
as we sit

Drip, drip, drip
Becomes a rattle
to the cattle
as we sit

Rain on the rooftops
a season where it doesn't stop
for days or weeks
like an eternal sleep
in which we're trapped
like rats
or bats
hunted by cats
and men alike
a new *****

one of peace
one from above
A rain of brotherly love
No war
No fighting
Freedom soars
Like lightning

The sound above
brings the call of a dove
olive branch in tow
Though we know
There are those who are still cold
lost their hold
lost control
of the world around them

I think its over sometimes, and then
I hear a sound as we sit
a word sets on my lips
as the rain goes
Drip, drip, drip
