To tell you the truth, I just can't stand poets. They annoy the hell out of me. Yes, you might think I'm a hippocryte for saying this, but I AM NOT A POET. This is just some of my poetry, not all mind you, but some. They all sound alike to me, and really have no meaning to me. They're almost all about the same thing. Is that all I've ever known and felt?

Innocent Ponderings
A little bit crazy,
a little bit mad
But hey, that's life.
Deal with the strife
Forget the pain,
Feel the strain
Of all this stress,
and at best,
Life's all just one big dream,
Or as it may seem
The worst nightmare.

Depression
A dark spire,
Spiraling down
Into the deep darkness
I can feel your words
I cannot believe them.
I am living among the dead,
The dead among the living.
I am the darkness of night,
And the knight of darkness.
I am anger and fear all in one.
I eat at your soul,
Slowly but surely,
Like an ocean eroding a mountain.
That mountain will not move,
Yet I will eat away at it,
From the inside or the outside,
It does not matter.
I am the darkness of night,
The knight of darkness,
I am depression.

Dragon
You torment and taunt me,
You don't know the horror that awaits
When you cause my all this pain
I WANT TO YELL!
But i know when
it gets out of hand
All the things that
are held within my fate

Dragon part II
When you torment me,
You will see
In your flaming words
A dragon grows
to destroy
all my greif-stricken words
The dragon you send is evil
For all that is good is dead
Until i grow stronger,
For when my words start to grow,
A dragon shall rise
From my words,
And when it does,
it awakens an army
Of 1,000 faries,
to fight of you hurting words.

The Crow.
Wings beating
Feet fleeing
People Stairng
No one caring
Angry eyes,
Full of lies
Crow black wings
Crow call sings
Crow black eyes,
And yet I still hear cries.
Crow black wings,
Off to carry me to the Realm of Death,
And as I take my last breath,
I scream,
This wasn't in the scheme.
I still have more left to do!
I still have to kill you!
You who murdered me,
You who cut me,
You who killed me.
Can't you see?
The Crow can't take me yet!

Shelly Angel
The death comes to envelope me
I can't see!
Oh God Shelly, what has happened?
Why were you taken from me?
I can't see...
The darkness,
Oh God Shelly! The ANGER I feel! The rage!
I have to get revenge Shelly!
It's coming back to me!
I remeber it all...The pain, the suffering.
The screams.
Oh God Shelly, It Hurts to remeber....
Oh God Shelly it HURTS!
Why am I here?
Why aren't I with you?
Where are you Shelly, Where are you? Where am I?
I remeber it clearly Shelly.
I think I know why I'm here.
And god Shelly...If I'm right....I'll soon be with you.
I miss you Shelly,
and I'll see you soon,
Very soon Shelly.

Ancient Knowledge.
the pound of the feet
The shine of the lights
The music begins to enfold you,
encircle your heart,
and become part of you.
Your feet move in time
Your head filled with the rhyme
Of the steps which you know so well.
Suddenly you leap through the air,
And this is no longer so tense.
A smile breaks across your face,
As the music becomes part of your soul.

Ancient Knowledge Pt. II
The steps of the elders
The music of the ancients,
Now comes together as one,
In the new country, in the new century.
The Old meets the new, like a river flowing through the heart of the world.
The music, the steps,
All flow into that river,
The flutes, and the pipes,
The bodhrans and the fiddles.
The hardshoes and ghilles.
All of them flow from a river of your heart
To the ocean of your soul.

The Smile In My Words.
The Smile In My Words
The smirk the grin,
Of all my thoughts grim,
The sight of your head hitting the cement
The wet slosh of lost blood,
Your face covered in mud,
As you hit the ground
I hear the sound
Of a thousand bones cracking.
At this point, It's every man for himself,
The echo of your scream,
is the sound that reigns supreme
In this world of everlasting rivalry.
They cry of the mothers,
The death of the brothers,
all has no impact,
On this world of no feeling,
you could be there stealing
another's soul,
and yet no one would care.
There's no time for healing,
and everything you're concealing
can be uncovered in a moment.
The pain and the death
with every single breath,
can only be reflected by
The smile in my words.

Echoes Of The Past
The rain
The pain
They pelt against my brain
They're my only friends,
the rain and the pain,
of the sorrow's I've felt,
and I swore I'd never melt,
against the passing of time,
but as I look back,
I see the skies turned black,
somewhere in my youth
which has passed.
The taunts and the jeers.
The cries and the tears,
of all the pain you've caused me,
and as I look back,
On the skies oh so black,
I see your face in the thunder,
And the one mysterious blunder,
which you have made:
You let me live.

Soldier Laid To Rest
The coffin is lain into the earth,
The sobs and the cries,
The child who tries,
not to kill herself,
The grandfather who was loved,
Who was cared for,
Who will be missed,
Nothing makes sense anymore.
The sun has set on his life,
Like a soldier laid to rest.
The fun has gone,
out from my life,
with the passing of this man,
whom I've know my entire life,
This soldier laid to rest.
and as hard as it seems
to let go of your dreams
That's what happened on this day,
with this soldier laid to rest.
I'm slowly beginning to remember,
what it's like to laugh or smile,
and slowly reclaiming those dreams,
that died,
when this soldier was laid to rest.
The tears no longer fall from my eyes,
The dreams no longer stay meaningless,
The heart which has been broken,
When the soldier was laid to rest,
Is slowly beginnning to mend,
But from the heavens this person was sent,
to touch all of our lives,
to help us through times,
from otherwise which we would shy away,
He was the angel in this life,
and he is the angel in the next.
The moment the soldier was laid to rest,
The angel was gone from this world,
The lesson about all of this is,
the better the person who lives,
the worse this person will be missed.
I found this out the hard way,
When the angel, my grandfather, my friend,
the soldier was laid to rest.

Un-American
The Home of the free,
the land of the brave,
and yet there is something I crave,
The freedom they promised me.
Fucking hippocrytes.
You say we're free to say what we want?
I say "Fuck the Government"
I could get easily killed.
You say we got freedom of choice?
I never chose to be part of this fucking country.
Where's the choice there?
You say we've got a right to safety, right Mr. Senator?
Well fuck that,
There's no such thing as saftey.
We've got little brats who are barely old enough to be out of diapers handling guns,
We've got pyschomanaics who should be in Alcatraz workin in the Mini-Mart.
Safe?
Fuck that.
I don't believe in your goddamn lies,
I don't care what the fuck you've got "to offer America"
We were supposed to be the land of the free,
and yet all's I see is persecution?
Ask the Wiccan in the Bible Belt if she feels safe,
Or the Punk kid who got runover because of his looks,
How about the Columbine Kiddos?
The gunmen too.
What about the gay couples? Ask them if they're happy, only being allowed to marry in one state.
Ask a little child, starving and huddled on the streets of New York,
Or his mother, working nineteen hours a day for some goddamned scum to exploit her.
Face it,
America's gone to the dogs,
and It seems even they get treated better than us.
Forget it all,
Why do I waste my time?
I'll just say one thing to you, Mr. President:
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!

What Did I Tell You?
What did I tell you, punk?
You really must be drunk.
To start a fight with me,
Well soon you really'll see,
The error in your words.
I'm not the one who follows the herds,
Of igornant conformists,
The sluts, the snobs, the cliques,
All of the pain that this inflicts.
I'll kill you, I really will kill you,
And when I'm done, I'll murder your crew,
of jolly little pals,
who think it's all a game,
They're all the same,
the same as you.
Rest, In, Peace.

Rage
All consuming
Karmic disaster
All seeing
Insane laughter
Falling down
Gleaming eyes
Soul of a clown
A god that lies
Resentment fills
Vision goes red
Anger kills
Someone's dead.

Somewhere (Song)
Take me somewhere
Far away
Take me somewhere
That I can stay
Take me away
To The Land Of The Shadows
Cuz you are the reaper
And I the lost soul.
I wonder why
I sit here and cry
Why I'm the one who has to die
Why I try
To ignore the facts
My anger streaches to the max.
Death is closer than most people know
They refuse to see it, or let anyone know
The reaper calls to you by name,
But in the end it's all the same.
In the end, there's no one to blame
In the end, we all play the game.

Worthless
I'm worthless and I know it
I know that I'm
A worthless piece of shit.
No use rubbing it in,
My patience is growing thin
Is it really such a sin
To want to keep your love?
My life is torn to pieces
My soul is gone astray
The fire my mind releases
Is all headed your way.
So say goodbye.
And you will know
My anger flies
To you to show
How much you hurt me.

Angel
Falling
Crashing from the sky
Pain.
Hopefull I will die.
Feathers.
Wings have gone astray.
Hope.
What else can I say?

Longing
I want so badly to be near him
To feel his hand upon mine.
To see his warm smile shine
I would give anything
To feel his warm embrace
To gaze upon his face
To feel his kiss
To be full of bliss
Why, do we have to be so far apart
Lost and hopeless from the start
But pulling through the longing
Wanting every day
This eternal feeling
He is so far away
I need him more and more
The days grow less and less
Our emotions are constantly wrecked
Feeling this.
Wanting.
This...
Longing.

Everything I Know Seems False...
Everyone I know seems lost
Amidst a sea of pain and agony
A prision of their own design
If you will
And see inside
From the outside
Looking in
I can't weigh
This feeling of sin
On my soul
I feel so alone
Yet so I am not
I feel so dirty
So much like a whore
So lost and alone
So used and abused
So dirty and confused
I need to get out,
I need to break away
I will not see another day
If I do not break these chains.

Seven Circles
I would cross seven seas for you
Seven monsters I would slew
Feelings I have are unold
They all come out when you I hold.
Seven circles bind us.
Seven circles entwine us.
Seven rings for seven days.
Seven circles, for all I can't say.
Love is hard,
Hearts get charred.
But not this time.
For our love is no crime.
Eternally I'm your's.
Eternally you're mine.
Seven circles do entiwne
Seven circles, and
You are mine.

Fire In The Rain
You are my fire in the rain
You take away the pain
You melt away the shame
You are my fire in the rain.
I went down to hell
And told Satan himself
I was doing pretty well
The pain is no longer there,
The sights I no longer see
I took you to my lair
And made you apart of me.
This isn't some kind of joke.
This is really for real
My heart lies on the floor, broke.
The wounds that couldn't heal.
Love is forever,
Hate dies off.
Kill you I could never,
For passion never goes soft.

White Roses
Death comes to you
A dream within a dream
To the ends of the world he will pursue
Or at least that's how it seems.
Stained by blood
Purity gone.
Splattered in mud
Ignorant pawn.
Child of dark,
Child of light
Catch a spark,
Burn it right.
Ow.

Forbidden Love
Forbiddin love in which we are engaged
Locked in secrecy
Passion is encaged
Like a lion in a zoo
Our hearts completely enraged
Forever I love you
Hidden away in the dark
A tiny, firey spark.
Torn between two worlds
That I hold so dear
Cannot bear to tear myself away
From either, so near.
Can we keep up this charade
My feelings locked within a facade
While people around us parade
Their feelings like a show
Yet this is between just
You and me
So no one must ever know.

Purgatory
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Lies a realm I know so well
The fires burn
The angels learn,
Satain and god play a game of cards
Tears are glass and cut like shards.
Nothing in this world is safe
No one here will ever escape
People burn, murder and rape
In purgatory
Crows all caw
souls gather into a maw
Darkness rules with deadly law
Light can shatter
Smells like atter
Life, death somehwere in between
Anger, contentment are always seen
Balance of all
Yet darkness rules, you take the fall
And plunge into purgatory
