Welcome to the Mirrored Place
Where the clocks turn counter-clockwise
Where we read and write,
From right to left,
Where normal is done in backwards ways.
What worlds lie behind our reflection
What variegated beings dance among our fate
What truth is there in resurection
What love lies amidst delphic hate
Mathaya,
I, your author, write
To encourage you for the
Coming days ahead.
My main character
Is you; you’ll learn hard lessons.
You’ll come through each one.
Dear You, I'm Sorry.
Based on A True Story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear God (if you are even there)
The world is cruel

Well at least I did
When I was young, everything seemed so big

of his time in Vietnam,
he said the weather outside reminded him of it.
It was gloomy outside.

Tavern mugs and boisterous laughter,Another line in this wondrous chapter,Long after the sun has set,Quills still write, and candles stay lit.
Everything is Dark
I stare out through my window
I feel numb and I can’t move
Am I scared?
Boom! A flash of light
a gun is firing, I don’t flinch
Why can’t I look away?
I first checked you out in school.
I don’t know what caught my eye
But it doesn’t matter because I was too shy
And let you pass by for the fear you were “too intellectual.”
Lunch period. A high school courtyard.
A 15 year old hovers over a bound book-
a diary-
while at school.
The book is thick; full of receipts, stickers,
the occasional leaf or two.
Hello children,
My name is Peter, Peter Pan
And I am here to introduce you to the magical world known as Neverland
Where children step foot into paradise
She was Aurora
She did not need a hero because she was her true savior
Cutting down Monsters,Dragons and Demons in her wake
There was no fairy godmothers,or knights there to protect her
Once upon a -
Ugh! You know how that goes:
"A princess finds her true love,"
In one day...gross.
No one ever stops to ponder
The "antagonist" if you will.
Our stories are stronger
The shoe
didn’t fit.
The disappointed woman
trudged away,
sulking, and
disappearing into the
circle of curious townsfolk
Rapunzel rolled her eyes and brushed her hair
Annoyed by the chants that she was 'his type', wonderful, and fair.
She wasn't a fool for alluring words made to flatter,
I don't know how they found me.
I'm not sure I want to be found.
My mother taught me to stay away
From people from inside the town.
A girl my age I've never seen
And a man she clearly loves
The cold is numbing.
Like morphine it trickles through my bones.
It seeps into my fingers and it grips my balls.
It kisses me like an abusive lover after the beating.
The cold is comforting.
Part one: I have often wondered about the proposition that for each of us there is one greater love in our lives, and only one even if that is not always true - experience tells most of us it is not real - there are those in legend at least who be
When I was a kid,
I used to watch horror movies with my dad

The reels from reality.”

He never gets tired of taking a deep breath
And sinking in that warm spring air
Smelling of morning dew and newly fallen rain.
He dreams of yellow eyes
Watching him in the night
Surrounded by darkness.
He cannot shoo them away
Or bribe them with food
The flowers grow
But I could care less.
The birds are chirping again.
But their sound is not music to my ears.
Roaring above the blooming trees
yells at the animals around him.
He hasn’t heard this sound before,
And he’s second guessing every step forward
Rain falls on a February morning
Freezing into spears before it hits the ground.
He dodges the drops among the trees
I am not lonely.
I am not lonely.
I am not lonely.
I am not lonely!
I am not lonely.
I AM NOT LONELY.
Scene: 23 year old man lying in his death bed. The Grim Reaper comes to claim his soul.
''Whoa! Whoa! It is not my time to go yet. I am still young... I did not do near as much as I have wanted.''
*Grim reaper checks his watch*
I never understood what she saw in you
Your heavy brow and cold eyes and your rapacious disposition
Fiction is where Imagination roams wild
But Imagination is where Fiction comes to life
Deep within the pages lies the story of one child
Am I invisibleWhen my arms wave for aidAm I bothering the peopleShunned and ashamedMy lungs fill with mistakesFour gallons of heart acheI fall to my endInside me
A soft summer wind
Blowing by me constantly
An unchanged peace
A masked gray murmur
The Sun has gone now, rain falls
She is calling me
Poetry – because practice makes perfect
Fiction was my first love, first poem I rejected
It was terrible – oh so terrible
Nonacceptable
So I stopped writing ‘em for awhile
Empires rise and fall
Yet I Dream
Inventions are built from the dreams I send
I still wander in my world I painted
What do I dream I do not know
the idea still fresh in his mind
he turns a new page
and starts a new line
her smile fades as the ink sets in
her life was a lie
her existance paper thin
he strung from his seat as the book came alive

It takes gold to do that.

And his promise to Noah.

I suppose
It's supposed
To be an ending
I suppose
I'm supposed
To feel sad
Yet,
I suppose
I'm supposed
To stop supposing things
It only leads to more Fiction than Fact
Angry villagers put the Munsters to death.I adopted their pet that has a fiery breath.He is a monster and his name is Spot.I thought I would like him but I do not.It was a mistake when I got him from the pound.
The seems of my disguise burst at the seams
Of simmering restraint. For, sun-like, beams
The shadowed self through artificial means,
Resplendent force that must demand be seen.
To know myself by peering outside-in
It was nearly nightfall; sky darkened by the clouds that promised rain
But I had been chosen to go through Canyon of Monsters to prove my bravery
She gazed across the baren lands,
a rusted key lay in her hands,
a salted tear slipped down her face,
she sat on the balcony, crumpling her lace.
Alone she sat hour after hour,
I looked at the map with wonder,
and saw what I never have seen,
people were walking all over the park,
and settling down on its green.
I looked over to where the shops were,
Roses are Red
I met you long ago you're smile was a perfect match to your chocolate colored eyes.
You were a fallen angel in my eyes: beautiful and out of reach.
Violets are Blue
I am reorganizing the books on the shelf,
As the young man walks in.
He offers to help,
But I ask him to tell me about his family instead.
He leads me by still waters in the moonlight, pulling me along with him to things unseen and unknown.
Deep misunderstanding
Radiating from within a dark and shadowed past.
Amazing abilities and all around amazing attributes.
Gone for the light of day
On and on the horrific ledgends go.
I’m the bad guy
The one with the black hood
I hold the weapon in my hand
And the hate in my heart
They don’t understand
Im tired of creating fiction
be an addition
I'm tired of dreaming
where reality is teeming
it's hard to survive
when you have already died
But I know everything is right
when you are in sight

“Our most dearly beloved goddess approaches!”

Me at Sixteen Months: "Wake uh Ake", to our dog.
Me at Six: "Wake up mommy, why are you still sleeping!?"

Hearing the whispers
and all that they say
"Have you heard..."
"Her dad..."
"...some woman..."
Try as she might she can't block them out
Dragons,
You know;
Fire out the mouth
Screaming for their house
Scales covering scales;
Fire breathing dragons.
You can mess with one;
But good luck.
I hesitated but I did it,
Kidnapping some jerk to help a different one
And in less than a minute,
He’s on his feet having a ton of fun
He acted just like I had
Like it’s all a flimsy game
I may have made a mistake
Jumping into battles I wasn’t ready for
Pain shoots through my body; aches
The blink of an eye and I had hit the floor
Once upon a timeIn a land not far far awayIs a girlSitting in the windowTears rolling down her faceLike the rain on the glass
How old are we when we become corrupt?Where along the way did we lose our innocence?Better yet, when did we stop looking for it?We curse, we hate, we live selfishly.We live in a world wherewomen are raped,

there is no excuse
the hurt, the aftermath, not fun
all because of abuse.
countless nights of crying
you feel like you want to die
but no more of that, start trying
Angry, sad, confused, helpless scared
These are the emotions of a women
A women who has been hurt
A women that has been abused
A women who has been lied to
These are the challenges of a women
I am from lands which weep rain unto us all;From cozy tapestries of cloud and trees like the fingers of God.I am from the sweet, bastard child of Gaia and Hephaestus,Where Nature dances the waltz with Industry
It was the coward's way out, he knew. He could feel it rolling around in his gut like a stupidly cheerful puppy.
Time is a luxury I’ve never had
At six I was left with only a Dad
The clock is always ticking
Mom and dad were always bickering
The hands keep moving round and round
We built our kingdom on hopes and dreams--
Our castle will never fall.
Our fears, our faults, our insecurities--
Here, they mean nothing at all.
We rule the land as King and Queen--
I believe in the possibility of error.
Of an equation reaching an end that doesn’t exist.
I believe in truth. I believe in fiction.
I believe in everything in between.
There is no such thing as a center.
Tales like foxtails pepper my mind
And I find that naked the wind hurts
But clothed not so much.
Mountain ridges arise from your back
Everything is broken
gloves on, real friends, fake friends
No Tongue
Raven at your window
get out get out get out
permanent, this
Worlds grow,
Budding behind unfiltered eyes,
Breaking from tradition.
Christened creativity,
In actuality,
Unrealized forms of magic.
The potential,
I am a humble man,
No hero, king or saint.
My purpose is my brush,
My canvas and my paint.
My Dear, I have this gift -
I paint all that I see,
And everything I paint
Inside I can see, I can feel
Everything is beautiful, everything is perfect
I revisit the outside
The fear, the worry, the insecurity
I hate it
I dread it
Let me back inside forever,
I see demons on the ceilings-
They crawl down the steps and up the pew to preach-
I see sheep in the pasture-
and if he tells them to jump they will fly from the rock and kiss the ocean-
In your dreams of fitful sleep,
You wonder which direction to keep.
You hear a noise from down below,
a door opens wide, the wind begins to blow.
Inside they come, as they do every night -
Nautical graves and practical poets,
Woman's condition and cultural woe.
Heaving sensations accompany the telly.
What's worse than these? The end of the show.
When shadows come forth with life, as day turns to night.
The secrets of our hearts are brought forth into site.
We seek our keys, those that let us lock it all away.
You said it, therefore it must be true.
Yes, every word you speak is law.
Why should anyone have room to doubt you?
You, who beleives everything the bias media tells you.
Today we can live
Yesterday we've survived
Tomorrow will never cry
The days of our lives
We can do whatever.
Till one of us die
Then we all
Cry
What is comparable to inevitable??
If the lyrics don't intertwine, then the meaning is forgotten.
How do we proceed to the next level when we keep falling?
The stairs are right before us but the world is calling,..
