The Poetry of Planet Venus
The World in Which We Live
Black is the night, Black is the heart.
Living in a world being torn apart,
Jealousy and hatred are running rampid.
Death and disease all too common.
Life has no value, crime no punishment.
Living with the gifts Lucifer sent.
Prejudice breeding ignorance,
Children turned to murderers.
Red is blood, Red is the color of choice.
Warm, dark, beautiful and moist.
Bathe in the violence, Sleep in the fear.
Tragedy is triumphant, Comedy ironic.
A crazy life we lead,
Nobody gets out alive.
I Don't Believe in You
I believe that you exist,
I believe that you are there.
I asked for a favor,
you did not deliver.
I don't hate you.
I don't like you.
I believe that you exist.
I don't believe in you.
Wherever you are I hope you hear,
You let me down when I needed you must.
I swallowed my pride,
prayed and pleaded.
You didn't listen.
You didn't care.
I believe you exist.
I don't believe in you.
I Write
I write to kill the pain.
I write to forget the past.
I write to feed the hunger.
I write to smother the fear.
I write to quiet the cry.
Poetry is my therapy.
Poetry is my passion.
I write because I need to.
I write because I want to.
I write what I see.
I write what I am.
I write what I am afraid of becoming.
I write what I feel.
I don't care what you see.
I don't care what you think.
I don't write for you.
I only write for me.
Promises Foretold
Promises foretold.
I spend my life
dying each day
and getting old.
A solitary traveler
in a self-made hell,
waiting for my chance
at the wishing well.
Not looking forward
to what lies ahead,
Praying each night
that I'll wake up dead.
To easy for you
To easy for me
I continue to exist
I continue to be.
My Sweet Sanity
I wander the catacombs of my deranged mind,
looking for the sanity that was once there.
Passing through the corridors of rage and hatred,
only to fall into the hands of paranoia.
He holds me tight, not wanting to let go,
and I escape only to fall into a pit of hysteria,
but I can see the temptation of false hope before me
guarded by the beast of ignorance.
As I struggle to gain a sense of serenity,
a quiet peace settles upon me and lucidity sets me free.
Rain Forever
Gray and dismal is the day.
Rain falling steadily,
tickling the pavement,
hydrating the earth.
That smell,
smell of the rain.
Worms on the sidewalk,
squishing under my feet.
That smell,
the smell of the rain.
Distinctive and indescribable.
Rain through tonight.
Rain tomorrow.
Rain all week
and the rest of the year.
Rain forever.
That smell,
the smell of the rain.
Slow, steady, pour.
Just rain a little then rain some more.
Life
Life,
a pathway for the cursed,
a reality for the damned,
waiting for their destiny.
A morbid joke,
a painful ordeal,
disappointing and unrelenting.
While we sit,
waiting for peace and serenity,
waiting for the chane not to be.
That's life,
Life to me.
A Split Personality
I'm the face that haunts your dreams,
the madness that ignites an angry flame,
the paranoia that will drive you insane.
I'm the sadness that causes your tears,
I'm the monster that feeds on your fears,
I'm the rage that fills your heart,
the anger that is ripping you apart
I'm the tears you have cried,
I'm the dreams that have died,
I'm the one who steals the sleep from your eyes,
I am the devil in disguise,
I'm as much of you as you are of me,
without one another, neither of us can be
The Sound of the Rain
How beautiful the sound,
of the rain pouring down,
pouring like tears,
washing away my fears,
filling the sea,
never knowing what will be,
The rain keeps fallings,
My name it's calling,
How long will it last?
The rain-for awhile.
My grief-forever
The Face of Prejudice
You close your ears,
and think you won't hear it.
You close your eyes,
maybe you won't see it.
You close your heart,
hoping you won't feel it.
But it is there,
gorging on your ignorance.
If you don't hear it,
If you don't see it,
If you don't feel it,
How are you going to fight it?
The Eyes of the Blind
Through the eyes of the blind,
all men can see,
because it is only there where everything is so clear,
The blind see what is in the heart,
they see love without prejudice,
life without hate.
It's through the eyes of the blind I wish the world could see
through the eyes of the blind will they look at me?
The Fairytale
I listen as you speak your sweet insanity,
caressing me with your words,
consoling me with your kiss..
the truth has long escaped you...
you're trapped in lies, defeated by your cowardice
yet you try to convince me
to join you in this morbid fairy tale
conceived by a poisoned pen and sick mind,
what happens when the story ends?
Did it ever begin?
On the Shore
I looked up at the sun,
burning ever so bright.
The sky was as blue as the ocean was clear,
and the seagulls circled around.
The waves tickled my feet,
as I left my prints in the sand.
How long would
such simple beauty last.
Or was it destined to end
as abruptly as it began?
Upon the shore I lay,
waiting for the ocean to take me away.
Take me to a place
where a tired soul can slumber,
a place of complete solace,
Where one can capture the wind
and learn to love again.
Untitled
I'll love you until the sands of time run dry,
until the earth opens up and swallows the sky,
until sirens stop screaming and young lovers stop dreaming.
Maybe one day you will see what you mean to me,
maybe one day everyone will see how beautiful love can be.
The Past
Swimming in a sea of alcohol,
I used to wonder was it worth it all?
All the nights I sat drinking,
crying, wondering, and thinking.
The words flowed from my pen
but they didn't come from within.
They were words thrown on a page,
thrown there to satisfy the rage.
The rage I had felt inside,
the longing for what had died.
Those thoughts haunted me for years
and brought me to many tears.
The demons of the past
no longer torment me.
The future is all that I can see.....
A Sea of Tears
I'm drowning in a sea of tears,
slowly being swallowed by all my fears,
No one to love and nothing to be,
What will become of me?
My life is falling a part,
I no longer want this broken heart,
For all the troubles I gain,
all the overwhelming pain,
I sit here and cry, not knowing why,
As I listen to the birds sing,
I realize now I've learned one thing,
To love and lose is like hanging from a noose,
Only the pain never goes away,
it has to stay....
Cleared My Mind
If I cleared my mind,
what would I find,
Peace and serenity?
or chaos and complexity?
My Haunted Dreams
I can see your maddening eyes everytime I close mine,
you lurk in the dark corners of my subconscience,
like a parasitic brain flea...
you haunt my dreams and tear down my defenses
gorging yourself on my fears and trampling my hopes,
it's in my mind that you exist and it is in my mind that you shall die
Death
Death, a blessing in disguise,
a light in the angels' eyes,
a gentle kiss for those you will miss..
a small token of words never to be spoken.
Death, full of serenity, void of complexity.....
Letter to Death
Today I awakened to write a letter,
a letter to death?
Dear Death, I wrote
So when are you coming over?
Are you going to call first?
I was wondering if you would
consider rescheduling my appointment.
I'm kind of nervous you know.
Never meet death before,
never had him knock at my door.
What happens if I don't answer?
Will you come back again?
Or ring the bell and scream like hell?
After careful thought, I have decided,
I would rather we cancel this little date.
Sorry to give you the notice so late.
My sincere regards in your endeavors.
Try not to have one to many cadavers.
