there be wolves out there
Hovering a black cloak over you, wearing a smile so strained;— That could make one be lost in the deep mist, you wait in silence. In the depths of your complex codes lies the unsolved mysteries and the truths of my past. My worn eyes can't reach you till your name is recalled from my lips stitched together with thick wires. Will you ever reveal yourself?

Ode to a Password
Wearing a white gown, decorated with Lotuses, you dance in the midst of the distant meadows like a new-born petal. But, in the depths, where bones uncover, etched to my black heart, a red handprint, you left.— Will you ever leave me in peace?

Callous vs Eve (haiku)
The little rat ******* was slick on his very quick snacking trip he licked the traps clean a rodential machine sooner or later, he'll slip The glue traps did the trick that's where that monster did stick nevermore seen his demise sticky obscene I hated being such a **** The traps erstwhile effect not rats but mice subjects licking clean the traps as final sticky naps the end of this, project

Trapped
sweet words, they all disrupt what facade, just for show kind reminders, not kind at all it is bitter, so am I. sweetened the truth it is just half lies and hidden facts. not trusting even the ones who have perfect alibi never doubting their bad intentions whatever that could be it is the smiles the one most doubted feature innocent evilness comes through. Fall now in the traps or later the bruises will make their presence known give me the worse pain when on ground.

Bitter taste of the sweetness
Will I find you in the shadows looking over me Will there be you or it is just the continuation of recurring hallucination. It is getting trickier to place you between the imaginary and real you both out to mess around me your madness is catching me the shady creature filling my head space. Manipulative ways simply tracking my businesses connecting into the web stalking at all time triggering an all kind paranoia. Invading in was easy but the red light is on between the scenes the mask flew away true colours will come out. Holes in your plans aren't as visible to you the green figures through the night vision has come to play too this exposure to the truth keeps me sane you got a new player in this game. I am counting the days waiting for you in the shadows to watch you fall into your traps.

in the shadows
Hollow abyss of the deep cliff, into the distance the moon shines bright wind caressing the fresh green grass, festive fireflies. beating against the rocks below, white bubbles arise, darkened spots in the starry sky, the end is to arrive.

Night by the cliff
I tripped over her landmine it cut me off, at the knees I slipped and fell, on my way to hell she has that effect, on me Harmony and happiness things I used to have, and know stumbling over explosive words as another landmine, blows I swear to god she plans these traps planting them everywhere, and place supplanting my sanity, with fear that detonates, in my face

What did I say now?
Crosses arose with no reasons Alone or miserable Always fall from stairs but still, Happy to share something Crying released pain Can't touch no liquor For no trouble is allowed To feel the stress, the pure way To light up the worse Excuses flow, it's mere flesh but my heart do exist

Lighting Agonys
There's this spider I know. He sits on my lips, Weaving webs of pure silk. To trap in my lies... ...those little black flies.. For what horror would ensue should one but slip. What havoc I'd wreak Upon my web of silk... ...now oh so weak. For there is never just one. Now there's a hole! I'm done! And out they would swarm! A cloud thick as smoke. Oh those little black flies.... They'd be my demise... Should one but slip. I could choke.

Little spider
Late at night when the moon is scarce and the stars are dull, the west ocean will softly, so softly, beckon you closer. But please don't trust her, for its a trap. Once you're close enough, she'll take you.

Tsunami (part one)
It's. A trap, the little lady sings sweet cyanide songs. Drawing lost lambs softly, quietly. To slaughter them. Quite rightly. Their names'll be forgotten anyway.

Miss "Missy"
Hues of blue and gray With a succulent sweetness That begs to be savored In the briny waters off the sea They lead a life unseen Scavengers in warm water A lazy afternoon Wire mesh and day old fish Chicken necks on a string Baited traps dropped in left in wait Edgewater shallows and a lot of time One by one they come Chasing that string to the shore One by one they come Pull up the trap and catch what you can Fill the bucket with sweetness There is nothing quite like A blue crab Saturday afternoon

Briny Water and a Warm Day
I have searched my whole life for someone like you Though I have lied and told others that, it's different I mean it with you I have ****** up every relationship I have ever been in... Fear has wrecked my love for anyone before you But with you I am not afraid... I am strong You are what I want... I will do whatever it takes to keep you You don't ask me to do anything... You never have You read my poems about other guys, pure fiction I thought you would leave then... That you wouldn't let me explain But you stopped and let me talk to you... let me explain How I cut up my memories and glue them together to make a poem It was simply astonishing how your anger faded, how you excepted my fiction You are the Sun to my Moon I reflect the love, the light I see in you Everything about you I simply adore, I wait all day until the night For that's when we can talk for hours on end You have no idea how cold I was before you... I hope you never learn all the things I've done I know you have an idea but you haven't heard it from my mouth How I sought to break guys hearts, how I'd lie to make them love me... All because people broke my heart... But then you tamed the beast inside You made her love you as much as I do, you disarmed my traps With your honesty you won my respect... I've never respected any of my lovers from the past If I could I'd tell you everything I've ever done... But I'd run out of words... I was a beast before you loved me that's about the simplest way to put it

I protect you from bear traps It seems like you've pushed me into a few. But I've gotten better and I've forgiven you. But you still get injured from tripping over twigs. I've taken the blame because its what I'm use to. Why won't you grow up and take care of yourself. You stumble and fall too easily. You have so many opportunities but you act like you have none. I try I really do to point them out. But all you want to do is be a toddler and play and wait for everything to come to you. like it has all your life. I'm starting to realize something. I'm losing hope in you. I see no reason why I am still helping you. You're not even trying! Be a freaking man! YOU have two feet YOU have two hands Take some responsibility and stop thinking everyone will forgive you when you ***** up The world isn't out to get you but it definitely leave you behind if you let it. You're gonna fall a lot, but I don't feel like sticking around to help you heal after tripping over air. I've been around for it too many times. I don't even see anything in it for me anymore. I have too many wounds to take care of on my own anyways. Come to me when you've finally felt the gut wrenching pains from the bear traps and be able to get through it on your own. But I know you won't. You will just keep tripping over twigs and blaming the world for your cuts.

Bear Traps and Twigs
It's okay. It will be alright. I won't lie awake Throughout the night. This is good. It's what I wanted. Don't be upset when It all goes Wrong. So wrong. My poultices Were poisonous, Infecting her Open wounds. For every tear I thought to shed she'd already bled tenfold. I couldn't see? I didn't know? I claimed affection... Yet it didn't show? It's too late now For me To turn back What has been done. I'll hold Her Heart close In memories Alone.

Snare
why do we trap ourselves with walls of thought that exist only in our heads, walls that restrict what we can see and understand through our journeys in life and love, good and evil, wonder and cynicism What are we so afraid of in our existence that barriers are created so strong built through belief and ignorance, invented to keep so much from affecting the way we think and act, as if the minute amount we know is enough to live by without being curious about this amazing universe we find ourselves inhabiting, filling the area around us with out thoughts How can we not be filled with an unquenchable thirst to discover and understand all that is around us surrounded in physical splendor and ethereal mystery All things are there for our mind to intertwine with to understand without deconstruction, to comprehend without destruction to be a part of and with all of life while being individually thinking, metaphysical exploration. When will we allow our minds to expand beyond our walls of mistrust and comfort to show our thoughts and joys of living emotion to each other to let the very essence of who we are to press against each other in vulnerability and trust, to share without expectation of return. Without empathy and understanding our thoughts will remain only our own, locked away and formless, unable to show the universe the beauty of what we truly are. Where will we be once we can share with each other our thoughts mingling to be able and ready to explore this fantastic existence we will be human, at long last true to ourselves and everyone else to realize the universe is a thought in the mind of a child and so are we.
