And it begins.......

Well, seeing as how my computer skills are nearly nil, I've finally decided just to blog it, lol.

SO....welcome to the world that I write. Here, I welcome any feed back on my poetry or writings. As soon as I figure out how to do it, I may just add some pics of my paintings up here. Until then, here's some poetry to get you started......

Mr. Man in the Moon,
I see you in the sky
Who are you?
Mr Man in the Moon
Why do you live there, on the moon?
Why don't you live on Earth?
I think that, sometimes, you come down
visit people,
Do you?
Come visit me
I like to talk
I know that you hear me
you help me solve my problems
once, when I was watching you,
you winked at me
as if it were our little secret
But I know
you tell the stars everything
Mr. Mann in the Moon, you live there
tell me
Is the moon really made of green cheese?

Flight
I. An Awakening
Into the night it bleeds,
an ever awakening scent of Death
brought upon by
tears, sorrows, nightmares
It feeds off the mind
lurking, waiting hoping
for someone to trip on life
to fall into the pit of night
to drown in the darkness
hatred, vengeance, blood
the only mind it knows
it patiently waits
knows no resistance
only the smell of fear
which it devours
a tremble is its joy
a shudder, its pleasure
to witness Death, pleasure
only the morbid thoughts
run through a cold granite head
to rest in the pit
where its heart should be

II. A Promise
Falling, captured
caught in the web of lies
the only truth it knows
the deceit eats me
the anger consumes me
the mirror breaks
falling shards of glass
reflecting the hell around me
he hides in the shadow to look out to the world
the darkness
in them he hides
it waits, watches
the sadness delights it
the pain makes him laugh
the hurt is its friend
leave no happiness behind
only one mission
to destroy
leave no trail
only the scent of blood
the empty shell
of a once beating heart
that is suddenly still

III. An Addiction
I see you
tripping, scared, falling
don't worry
I am right behind you
to catch you
keep you always
they said you wouldn't fall
I wanted you
to keep you always
the warmth flows through you
spreading the shadows
you invaded my home
now you are mine
I feast on fear
that radiates throughout the black
I will never be full
never be done
I am your pain
slowly, I eat, I feed
I thirst for more
What's this?
in my hand, it looks like
a donation to my collection
of many
useless hearts

IV. Vengeance
Slowly, eating away
devouring my mind and soul
I can't get the vision out of my head
I keep seeing her
devoured, except for a lock of hair
That I escaped with
I plan for revenge
for the day I can
devour, rape, rip him to shreds
like he did to her
to my sister
so cold, so cruel
I calculate its demise
in the back of my mind
I hide it
and mask it with a false face of fear
that I know it can
see right through
but I wait
and I plan
and I know
I will be in control
and his heart will be mine


V. Again
Slowly, I approach the night
to where the shadows lid
reach out my hand
and grasp the cold, dark
Can this be life?
I hold the hand and wait
for the moment to plunge my knife
into this desperate heart
that's taken so many
now I will take his
I wait and strike
but he is too quick
for someone so cold and painless
it knows fear
it struck into my heart
into the very center
chilling, quickening
I find my hart lying
at my feet


VI. On The Other Side
On the other side
I watch
the outside world
and wonder how they survive
all alone
I sit in my shadows
and stare blankly at the wall
that speaks to me
You, over there
don't walk away
one day you will fall too
you will feel
dark
I smother in it
please, hand over willingly
your most prized possession
I want your heart

VII. The End
Coming to the tunnel
only darkness no light
constant beating of my heart
and my head
inside my mind
nothing,
it rattles empty
killing me slowly
I realize I should fight
lost inside my soul
lost inside my mind
so slowly
my heart
finally gives up the fight
it stops

9/11
September 11, 2001
a nightmare begun
that we can't outrun,
America's heart stood still that day
the tears filled the lakes
the bodies filled graves,
An unseen devil brought our worst fears true
your heart cried for me
my heart cried for you,
America the beautiful, or so the song said
most of us never realized
some want us dead,
will we recover? we always do
they hide with cowardice
and we hold our truths,
God, hold them near
the ones that they took
and please quench our tears,
we now know we are not safe from harm
Please God, I ask,
keep us in your arms

I realize that "Flight" is incredibly long, and if you made it through the whole thing, congrats.

I think that's enough to start this thingy off, so....cheers!
