I...
I can feel the cold freezing my life away but I can't seem to stop it.
I hear the crunch of snow as people walk by my soon to be corpse.
Can't they hear me, can't they see me?
Do they care about the things that I have seen?
These questions are considered unimportant by the wind
As it blows across my face and steals my breath away.
It's just so cold...
I lose the ability to move, and warmth overcomes me.
Like a movie in my brain, my life flashes before me.
Against all my will, my body is betraying me.
It's letting go of the little threads of life.
Can't you see me!
Can't you hear me!
The vast winter is like any other before.
But I'll never see another one again...
THE END.
The Death Of Superman
Don't call me amazing.
Because I'm not.
I'm not any better than the...
Single mother trying to raise a kid on her own
Because the deadbeat father up and
Ran away.
I'm not a superhero anymore because
To call me a hero after seeing the magic of two people in love
Would just be
Ridiculous.
I may
Save lives
and I may
always be there
But have you ever been held in the arms of someone who's truly
Always There?
Love is like a row of mended white fences,
It doesn't always start out perfect but if you work at it enough
It will take your breath away.
Like the first kiss of realizing that this one is the one.
The first touch of another,
just dying to become one
with you.
I may come from another planet, but I tell
Love is other worldy too.
It's like a whole other universe where nothing ever goes wrong
Where life is worth living.
So don't call me amazing.
I'm not the superhero you want.
That's a job better left to her eyes.
Because I'm not.
I'm not any better than the...

All Drunken Lovers Find Their Way Home Eventually
Not all who wander are lost in the sea
Your heart is a compass, pointing to me
I've drug the moon down off its high horse
And now all I've got to do is capture the sun.
I broke ground in my mind to build you,
The greatest piece of architecture in the world
If only you could see it,
It would take your breath away
I'm not lost anymore
I found there's sand beneath my feet
I'm not drifting further and further
Out into the sea
The tide won't be taking me anywhere
Not this time, instead
I'll plant my feet in the ground and
Start walking to where you and I begin.
The poetry of the elegant, it will surely sing
The tale of us lovers, and our need to be
With phrases and metaphors, language laced beautifully
I've got no doubt, this is how we're supposed to be.
Sing me your song, and I'll sing you mine
Lend me your ear, and I promise I'll try
To lift you to the clouds, on a plane of winged words
A broken-hearted symphony, like that of dead birds
The structure is shaped, into something that I've seen
I know it too well, but I don't know what it means
Its lines are as clear, as the sea where we swim
But the it's meaning is muddy, like the lake where we first died.
I know it hurts darling,
But please don't cry
Because sooner or later
Your arms will be wrapped around mine.
Your heart is a compass, pointing to me

Turning Us Into Birds (The Tragedy of Anna and Lee)
Our feathers dance so gracefully and with such poise
As they float down to the ground
Only to stepped upon and forgotten,
But for a moment you see them,
And for a moment you love them
She said "Did you see that beautiful feather, I wonder which bird it came from?"
She picked it up off the ground and place inside her book to keep forever, she turned her pale blue eyes skyward and wondered, what it felt like to be a bird.
He said to her "Oh Anna, won't you bring your head out of those clouds"
He never understood her, until she jumped off of the bridge, just dying to fly.
Buildings shouldn't burn because they're made out of metal
Much like our hearts when it's been broken too many times.
Someone find the architect and get the key to the lock because
I'm ready to let you into mine.
He hadn't turned on a light in 3 days, his eyes didn't want to see.
He didn't look in the mirror for a week, because he knew that he was crying
and didn't want to face his weakness.
37 missed calls, 18 from his mother, 5 from her friends...bill collectors were the others.
"Anna", he just screamed at night, "I wish I could have loved you, the way you wanted to be loved!"
When I was a child,
I thought like a child,
I saw as a child,
I played as a child,
Now that I'm an adult
I wish I had time for childish things.
Anna had always wanted children, but he couldn't give them to her.
He had held her back so much, he understood why she had to fly.
He was like a chain around her neck, harnessing her to the ground
If only he had realized that she knew more about life than he could ever hope to
She saw the beauty in things that he could never see.
As I,
Stared down at the ground,
I feel my body become like a cloud
I feel so light now,
twirling down.
Swallowed alive by shame and agony,
He never even left the house.
Until one bright morning, when the sun came in just right.
He walked to the bridge where she left him, and decided to learn to fly.

Devil May Care (Victims Of The Poetic)
Us poets,
We don't speak in a language you'll understand
Sure, it's English, or Spanish or whatever is your native tongue
But we weave intricate stories
For the simple fact
That we want to make you think
We want to leave you guessing
Because thinking is the only think that will turn the world around
I,
I've never stood on a stage and recited any of my poems
Because I get nervous in front of crowds and I hate public speaking
But why do I feel so filled with this need to do so
Like if I ever did it, that there would be a standing ovation
Because I know passion,
I know pain,
and I know how to say every word so you'll feel it too when I do
But I won't.
Because I'm sure that I would stutter on my words,
And you'd all think me a coward,
Yeah, sure I can write these words
But what's the point if no one reads them.
Hopefully someone reads them.
And someone thinks,
Because that's all I want you to do is think.
Think about what we're losing.
We're losing lives nowadays
We're losing jobs nowadays
The world's practically collapsing in on itself
And it's up to us to stop it somehow.
So think.
Please....
Think.

Mariner: The Water Hunter
Detest the Mariner,
He is the darkened cold that brings the chill to your bones,
The blood-curdling scream that pierces your eardrums
Beauty be laid
To waste
At the hands of the Mariner
Let the icy grip bring havoc to your courtship
Pulling your lovers down into the sea
Mariner,
You satan,
Lucifer incarnate,
Poet in a devil's skin.
Lying in deathrows to bring
Vile to the masses
No wonder the sea is your home.
Detest the Mariner.

Mariner,
You satan,
Lucifer incarnate,
Poet in a devil's skin.
Lying in deathrows to bring

No wonder the sea is your home.
Detest the Mariner.
Songs To Sing To The Marauder's Wife...
I
Oh Juliet,
Drink your poison now.
Because these lips of mine will never touch yours again
The body count is just growing
No one will close the door to hell
If you turn away from the gateway
Who's to see us falling down to the depths of our own
Carousels
II
Revolving Doors.
Your inwards then outwards
Your innards spilled on the deck
The Sailors are coming forward
Confessing to who's responsible for the shipwreck
But no one knows where the captain is
He's lost and not yet found
We're bound to the floor the the vultures eat us alive
And the sharks will drag our bodies out into the ocean.
To fill our lungs with water
And watch us drown...
Is not a message that we're waiting for,
It's a sign.
III
It's like the first time, every time
I look into your eyes and see
There are unicorns crossing the pasture
and I'm tired.
But they beg me to ride them,
so I try.
But they end up throwing to the dirty filthy ground below the sea
And trample me to death before I'm ever able to breathe.
Oh, these twisted images are in my head and I can't stop them
If I could find the place to put the knife I'd....
Nobody loves the killer but the killer
No one eats the leftovers but the birds
No one finds it funny that there's a murder of crows
overhead
and they're all flying towards our souls.
IV
Passionate beauty
Hung from the ceiling
They thought her a witch and so
They threw her from the cliff
And I watched you fly
But only to your death, never did you once
Flap a wing
Sometimes I wish
That you were a bird
And you could have just flown away
Scarlet in color
Naive they say
Only evil could produce such a beauty
they informed me as they threw you away
And I watched you fly
But only to your death, your body imprisoned by
Gravity
As your body hit the ground, I knew that there was no hope.
And they'd taken you from me.
Love causes flame.
But death breaths a fire.
And I set their houses ablaze
I watched them all burn at your altar.
And I watched them die
But only til their deaths, in a vengeance for what they had done.
They took from me love
and sent it to the ground like a graceful white dove.
The wind in your hair matched the fire in theirs as
I watched them all burn.
Who would have known that the water
had been thrown away.
V
Death is like your piano keys
88 saints in a row
The high ones, the low ones, and the ones in between
All lined up for the show.
Don't stain the pearly whites with blood because
Murder is hard to wash out of the body
Flights of wingless birds will never stop me
From forgetting the solace I found here
One day when it dies.
I've written my own obituary, in my blood
on your adulterers bed.
I hope it comes to claim, because nothing will tame you
from getting the revenge that you want.
Oh Sarah, full of life and full of joy
How I dare you to give all your treasures away
Because it's hardly a gift when it comes with such ease.
The death that you've held at the grave.
Oh Juliet,
Drink your poison now.
Because these lips of mine will never touch yours again
The body count is just growing
No one will close the door to hell
