Without You

No matter what station I change to, the music still reminds me of you. Just another sad and lonely night staring at four grey walls. My hands are shaking and tears stream down my face. A sob catches in my throat as Dean Martin sings. He is sitting in a corner, just like me, except, I am all by myself. At least he has a bottle of wine.

I get up and pace around the room. A scream is building in the back of my mind trying to escape. Hands cover my face and nails dig into my forehead. It feels like they are trying to tear my face right off my skull. Suddenly I realise that they are my hands. With great effort I manage to gain control over them. But even then, they look strange, even alien, to my eyes.

I can hear raised voices from the apartment next to me. She is a hooker. She is always fighting with her clients and this is a regular occurrence. I always ignore it, except today, today it seems all wrong. I want to go over there and rip out her tongue. Hell, I just want to kill them both.

I make a move to the door and catch myself in time. I … am … not … a … killer. Over and over I keep telling myself until my blood has returned to normal. No longer a sizzling 110 C. at least it felt that it was that hot.

It is then that I realise that I just cannot live without you. I don’t care what they do or what they say. Not another day shall pass without you.

Before I realise what is happening I find myself on the street heading downtown. It is there that I know I will find you. You will put me out of my misery and once more we will be happy together. In my mind I start singing, “ice baby, ice, ice, so nice.”

The One

Shards of lightning
Thunder crashing
World rent asunder

Deep from pit
Demons howling
Spewing forth today

Dripping fangs
And ripping claws
Death by very presence

End of days
Seems it’s here
Only one to save you

Midnight

The first gong strikes
I can feel the power course through me
As each gong strikes I become stronger

Midnight is my time
It is my time to roam and stalk
Souls is what I seek

As the last gong strikes I am free
Once more to hunt
Through eternity

hate it or love it

Too much evil
Yes this world is evil
It's corrupt by hate & envy
Removing crist anti crist?
**** the world
People never believe
But when tragic happenes
Everybody suddenly calls to god
**** this world
**** the hate
All this envy
The devil is tryna destroy the world
It's easy to tell where living in hell
U can't judge me
Hate it or love it
But I'm just speakin the truth
Too much ignorance
Soiceity is being misleaded
Soiceity is brainwashed
The devils puppets are here to destroy
I see it
Alot don't
People trapped in this world
Sucked into it


It drives me nuts what can I do
Once u expose the evil
U get silenced
It won't happen to me
I have god with me
This is my way of making it up to him
I can't fail him on this poetry rampage
I have to wake these people up
They are being told lies
The media will tell u what they want to tell u
And that's lies
Robbin our hard earn money for war & supplyin the Mexican caretel
Police FBI CIA the government
Man listen
They are organized legal criminals
They can kill & get away with it
But us we will probably be sentenced to life or death row
Man please
These political thugs
It's soo funny to me
I'm fearless
Yes I'm brave I'm never scared
The government spies
Where's the bills of rights?
Lord have mercy
What is this world coming too
Hell is real
If u can't tell
Where livin in it
I wanna go to heaven
I gotta make it to heaven
But the devil man
He won't leave me alone
I fear no evil
No fear runs in me
I don't fear u satan
I can't fear u
Tell me if u feel where I'm coming from
I hope so
Wake up people
Don't watch the news or any of that bs
I see the tricks
Hiding the governemt illegal doing
One day they will be exposed like a bad date
I hope to god I'm part of it!

worms

Why is it some days it feels like worms crawling around in your brain.
every though is moved and displaced as they crawl,
and soon every fragment of your mind is a huge puzzle
that you never are sure anyone will ever work out.

Maybe if I were to lay down on the cold, green, wet grass,
close my eyes and just stop thinking completely
they would get bored and begin to crawl out of my ears and
return to the earth to make roads there where they belong.

My mind would then be clear and without anything left inside,
would I remain like this or would someone find me and make
the time to fill my mind with some order and beauty?

Making the circles

The pit of no floor, the prison of no bars
The cry of no tears, with a smile but no laughs
This tank that is my home, my heaven, my hell
This tank in which I am trapped, forever making circles

Pain is no visitor, for he never seizes to return
These scars are his mark, his gift to brides and grooms
He laughs when I crawl, serenading my demons
He is the monkey on my back, with me until my epitaph

In this tank I live, pushing and being pulled
Destined to see the world only as I am permitted
My jailor he thinks to him I owe homage
Like the slave master who claims credit a servants survival

The darkness looms, and the sun slowly dies
I sense the warmth on my face from the flames of tartarus
In the book of Hades I pray my soul is scripted
That I may break free from these circles I make

Pain is a guest in a house with no doors
Never seen entering but no possibility of departure
My arms they bleed to relieve me of his hold
Now I make the circles with a noose around my neck

About this poem:
I've always been fascinated by fish, particular ones that are in a fish tank in someone's home. I have always wondered if they are aware that they are trapped, or if they think that that tank is as big as the world gets. I feel like life is such a tank. We believe that the one is *this* big, but is it really? are we aware that we are just prisoners of our own, small lives? we can never break free of that prison, because it has no walls, no bars, no limit. We generate it in our own minds and we call it "life".

hidden

When times are bad
Wish I could dissapear
Vanish into thin air
Put on my invisable cream

Spread it all over and watch me dissapear
Into the mirror I would climb look out onto the world
And hide
Look out on the turbulant world full of war and dissfunction

Time are bad high prices cost of living in a crisses
Into my mirror
Am at peace shelterd hidden from perreeing eyes
No one sees me in my mirror
For am the only one that see

If you look in my mirror
You will not see who am I
For my soul hidden from prying eyes
Here in my mirror watching

The view

long time no see...........

I come here
just want to see
if I can still
read, type, think in English
the lanuguge I love best

Long time no see
my favourite website
I miss you so much
I am afraid of you so much
Here is just like heaven
Here is just like hell

Here is the place I can't forget
I love here and hate here
after all I love it

dragons

Flames and fiery breath
Within
Hot breathing nostrals
The kiss of hot fiery breath

Its talons
Held with clench breath
Poised to tear flesh from flesh
Strikes the heart with its talons

Its strikes with venom monsters of the nite beast of mortal
Earth
Dragons of the night
Scales of justice to protect
Its mortal soul

Fighting monsters and humans alike
Dismembers its victims soul
These dragons and monsters of the nite

Blank Canvas

The canvas was stark white
No marks of life yet added
Possibilities
Innocence
Purity

Through loving strokes came color
Blue streaks of light
Happiness
Serenity
Joy

Next came contrasts of hue
Adding variety for all to see
Imagination
Knowledge
Growth

But the artists hand was interrupted
Sticky red jagged lines
Betrayal
Pain
Death
