Your Last Visit

You are not a ghost 

anymore, your last visit 

you led me ashore 

and the sea turned rose as you 

held the wind and drifted on

Siren

To bewitch man's soul

Hearts cling to clouded, wry smiles

That ache to tilt stars

Telekinesis

I never believed in it

Now I feel sure that

I can use my mind powers

To push you away from me

Shade

For in parallel

words, they'll sing out with your souls

And will touch your fears—

Like a memory you've sold

to the road of the Unknown.

Tread Careful

Passing on is like,

the crispy leaf's dead release,

its might spent fully,

Majestic, spinning, to earth,

Though dead, it creaks, and startles.

dem0ns

As the dark night falls

I look inside a strange soul

Just to see, lurking

There, barely hidden

A monster I recognized

None other than me

I reached inside it

Digging amidst the shrill screams

To dig from deep in

To rip it all out

And just as night falls again--

I wake up, covered

In sweat and in blood

My heart outside in a glass

A rotten heart of

Black monsters and all

The things that we have feared, now

Sinking into me

As I scream, unheard

By a loud, ignorant world

The demons inside

Claw their way outside

The remains of a young boy

Emerging in a

Scattered, painful cry

Haunted Nights

The visions appear

A phantasmagoria

Of ghostly hauntings

Firebug

If only, you saw

The beauty of the fire

Instead of my scars

Illuminated in flames

You could have survived my wrath.

this house

perhaps it's no ghost,

but memories and mistakes

that haunt this house most.

Peace among

Beautiful silence

ever dark and compelling

this is where they dwell

behind the trees all seeing

scared of the unknown

I am 21 years or older.
