Nightmare

He is a crazed individual
His look dark and so sinister
He grinned as he stared
And shoved the knife into her

He pulled it out slowly
Starts caressing her hair
Her voice muffled she screams
But she is tied to a chair

He plunges it in once more
Her pain is so intense
He has lost all control
Stabbing her again and again

Long after she's dead
He keeps going and going
The husband wakes up
Was knocked out and not knowing

That a killer broke in
And tied them both up
Now he sees his wife there
Dead and covered in blood

The sick man looks over
He stares down his victim
He contemplates on what
He wants to do with him

Now he is exhausted
He killed her with confidence
He can't leave two bodies
The cops can't catch on to this

So he stabs the husband
Clean sraight through the chest
He doused them in gas
Pulled a match from his vest

With one swift motion
Match lights on first strike
He sets them a blaze
And runs off in the night

He goes over the events
That had just taken place
He will never forget
The horrid look on her face

Later that next day
In the mirror he stares
And suddenly it hits him
That was just a nightmare

This poem has gotten mixed reviews. It is not a person nightmare of mine. Complete fictional story I wrote. When I write the pen has a mind of its own. What the end result is, is what I leave on paper. This one gives me chills every time I read it. I had to share it it. Writing should move you it more ways that one. Suspense isn't bad now is it??

Insomnia

It's cold and dark
These endless nights
Knowing he's always there
But never in sight

That persistent monster 
I know so well
He is always around
So he never fails

Take pleasure in his
Sick twist of ways
Taking a hit like
A fist to the face

Knocked away from 
The sleep that I need
Fighting the bully
That I cannot see

All I know is
That of his name
Blindsided by insomnia
No warning he came

Let's play this game
What he said to me
Though I always win 
How it's meant to be

You are the prisoner 
I'm the gaurd to your cell
I'll keep you awake
I know your mind so well

So now we walk
Together hand in hand 
Becuase I am the slave
To his crooked plan

This is my new strategy 
Of how I should fight
Cause one day it's my turn 
To sleep a full night

Pirate's Life

The ship has set sail
Through the lighting and thunder
The pirates all ready
For adventure  and plunder

The rain hits the deck
They all sing a chantee 
They raised their sails through
A storm thick they can't see

This does not scare them 
They keep sailing onward
Captain cries out portside
He spotted a flying songbird

With speed we will catch them
They cannot flee from our sight
For the wind is to our backs
To carry us swiftly to fight

The cannons were fired 
They boarded swords drawn
Fight with me lads
You will be rich before long 

They make with quick haist 
Of the ship and the crew
Captain yells good job men
Now let's get the dublooms

Captain looks to the survivor
Said I'll show mercy this day
There is room on my crew 
Sail with me and get paid 

We shall travel near and far
Plunder ship to ship
We shall gets lots of treasure
My crew I'll drink with

Adventure is a pirate's life 
Your my crew and I'm your captain
This ship is our home 
And the sea is our captive

False Advertisement

You can be anyone you want
By your fingertips typin 
All you are doing is
Sailing false advertisement

You can say the right things
Typing confidently to sway 
The reader of your words 
Mess with their minds you play

They fall for everything
You have written in response
Being dragged even deeper
Though that is what you want

Nasty trick you have done
You play with their emotions
You brainwash your readers 
Into giving they're devotion

You have mesmerized them
With your fancy use of words
Leading them into a trap
The planned outcome of yours

But once they meet you in person
I hope they see you had lied
Not tricked by what they read
Transfixed on what you typed

It is easy to be anyone
When you hide behind a mask
Whether it's a computer screen
Or your false story past

Smart people will see through
Straight around your flawed plan
You did not count for them
To see that your a bad man

So keep doing what your doing
It will bite you in the end
You'll be left untrusted
Alone and with no friends

Diamond In the Rough

My heart knows what it wants
But to my luck it's off limits 
Beauty I can see and not touch
Obey the sign read and listen

My ever increasing desire
Diamond I want to hold you
There is glass in my way
I must respect not break through

I know this diamond is priceless 
And should be handled with care
If I could put it up on a pedestal 
Something I'd definitely dare

If I had an opportunity just once
If prove I'm the perfect man
Elegant diamond would be displayed
I wpuld take care best i can

I see a very rare value
A beautiful diamond in the rough
I want to fix and fine tune
From being handled to tough 

If I was the lucky handler 
Of this most beautiful gem
I would respect and cherish it
Until my last breathe it gave in

Bring On the Apocalypse

He thought the apocalypse has come
That the world would soon be crumbling 
She he found his favorite spot
And frantically started shoveling 

Getting ready for whatever comes
Whether it's a disaster or zombies
He will be prepared as ever
He won't go out easy he is ornery

He's been saving ammo for years
And canning and stocking his own food
Stashed away deep in his bunker
For the moment that he had heard the news

It was an outbreak and was airborne 
It's time to prepare for the apocalypse 
This is what he has been ready for
This scenario his best shot at this

Cause a nuke is  harder to survive
Or an asteroid hit on impact
Harder to make it out alive
For humanity to make a come back

But us humans we are stubborn
Oh yes we love our guns
So please give us a reason 
To fight back instead of run

So bring it on this apocalypse 
He is ready to take his last stand
He refuses to be taken or killed
He will fight with his bare hands

Im All Out

I'M ALL OUT OF DREAMS
OBEDIENCE TAKES OVER
YOU ARE THE GENERAL
I AM THE SOLDIER

I'M ALL OUT OF PATIENCE 
I LOOK THROUGHT THE WINDOW
YOU SET THE BAR DOWN 
I'M STUCK IN THIS LIMBO

I'M ALL OUT OF STRENGTH
I'M WEAK AND I'M QUESY
YOU PUSH ON MY CHEST 
GRIP TIGHT CAUSE YOUR SQUEEZING

I'M ALL OUT OF TIME
BUT THE CLOCK KEEPS ON TICKING
I'M LOST BUT NOT FOUND
SINCE OF DIRECTION NOT WITH ME

I'M ALL OUT OF MIND
NO LOGIC OR REASON
YOU TOOK MY COMPASSION 
I'M COLD HEARTED AND FREEZIN

I'M ALL OUT OF WORDS
TO WRITE ON THIS PAPER
I'M ALL OUT OF THOUGTHS 
AND YOU WERE THE TAKER

Farfetched

What is our reality really
Or the conception of time
They are generally made up
From ideas in man's mind

We all go by a clock 
Hands tick past the hours 
We wake up each morning 
Alarms it gets louder

To understand life's existence 
Is it an imagination fragment 
Who is one to say it's real
Scary to think I admit 

Before anything's ever understood 
It's all guesses and theories 
They perform their experiments
Fail and repeat the series 

For what they can't explain 
They take what makes sense most
They say that must be the answer
Your the guests, we are the host

Farfetched ideas and questions
The ability of man to have thoughts 
It's extraordinary to think about 
Complex don't want to get lost

But what if we were really
The small fish in the ocean
We were the lab rats running
What a farfetched notion

To think we are the number one
Species on this blue planet
Maybe hidden deep under our seas 
Aliens that had previously landed

Watching our every move we make
Giving us help here and there
Observing us creatures of habit
With eyes that see everywhere

Or simply what if I told you 
Life's nothing but a lucid dream
None is actually happening or real
But made up like a movie scene

To be played before your eyes
Tricking the brain to believe what it sees 
Feeding you events and scenarios 
Making you feel it's your reality

The way the human brain works
Will never be fully understood 
Maybe it holds more power
To unlock that I wish I could

To tap the minds true worth 
Of what the human brain is capable 
Be an amazing accomplishment
Therefore could never be replaceable 

I made you stop and think 
Are we aware of our capabilities 
But maybe it's easier to accept
That more can't be a possibility

But all in all what do I know
This is all nonsense crazy talk
From a man with too much time
But to ponder farfetched thoughts

Different Point of Veiw

My perspective is off 
Just a little bit unnerving 
My point of view of things 
I don't think it is working 

I am lost where I'm standing
I feel stuck in transition 
Looking through my eyes
Not understanding the translation 

So I decide to take a seat 
Try a different point of view 
See things at a different level 
A point of view that is new

So here I sat down
Looking at a different angle
My last view of things 
We're blurry and mangled 

This new point of view 
Did not hold all the answers
So I stood back up
With a slightly different manner 

Than I had before I sat 
Or before when I was standing 
But more answers I sought 
New points of views now demanding 

I know what to try next
I must get a different vantage 
Maybe a higher point of view 
There hopefully I can manage

I'll get an understanding 
To what I don't understand 
So I found a tall tree
I'll reach the top if I can 

Look down on my situation
Third point of view attempt
I hope that this will work
Don't need waisted time spent

I have made it to the top
More questions answered here
In this new point of view
All not fully answered I fear

So what to do now
Should I just fill in the blanks
Or improvise what I don't see
Move on and just say thanks 

So I will keep looking
Different points of views I'll try
To find more of the answers
I'll seek out before I die

My ambition to see things
I don't understand in my eyes
I have a need to overcome it 
So I won't be my demise
