Joe's poems mostly

BROKEN

You dig around, yet you find nothing.
Silence is permanence, sound untouching.
Break through the glass to hear only wind.
The shattering is gone, blood is your friend.
Falling only to see an unstoppable force.
If only you could land, change your directed coarse.
Shards fall behind you, waiting to penetrate.
You begin to wonder if this will be a disastrous fate.
Crossing passed the wind, you begin to lose your breath.
You take in as much air as you can, try to escape sudden death.
Concrete reacts like rubber, pushing you away.
Those who see you strike, dont think youll see another day.
Losing your trace of mind, everything turns blank.
Blood spills, you just got demoted to a lower rank.
People stand around your mangled body, you begin to stir.
You fell 20 feet, feeling lucky that 6 more didnt occur.
Your body lies still, your consciousness regains.
Lying in a bed, your soul on earth remains.
You look up and see the face of the perpetrator.
You see your flesh and blood, your brother, the hater.






UNDERSTANDING THE UNKNOWN

You come here
Because society no longer
Has any use for you.

You come here
Because you are unwanted and
Broken like the rest of us.

Somewhere, digging in your
Past of being disowned,
You find that you shall never be the same.

Here you are welcome,
Welcomed to join us in our
Little heresy.

Bring your lighters,
Bring your torches,
Tonight well reenact the whipping boy.

Go, find us a victim.
Tonight we celebrate your arrival
From the world begotten, to be forgotten.






MAKE ANY SENSE

Death, come upon swift wings.
Inspiration, receiving information from certain things.
Holy art thou, buried I am.
Sometimes I couldnt give a good Goddamn.

Things you want, last shortly. Things you dont want, last a lifetime.
Is killing the things you dont want a punishable crime?

Drifting, falling far away.
Sorting, the things that never make sense.
Pieced you are, broken I am.
I feel like a cancerous tan.

To hope is to want, to want is to be greedy.
Isnt everyone motherfuckin needy?

Permeable, let thing pass you by.
Transparent, my life is a lie.
Forgiving you are, unforgiving I am.
What the fuck is wrong with this religious scam?

I hate, therefore Im hated. Yet when I love, I am still despised.
Why do I feel so deprived?

I just wanna go home
Be left alone






DECIDE

Get up, get outta here!
Dont bother to look back.
Your faith is unwanted here,
So go fuck with other peoples minds,
Just dont waste my time.
You try as you may while yet
You fail as destined.

Go away! You bother me!
You and your rituals just dont mean a fuck to me!

Never talk to me again!
I see you as a hypocrite:
You see me as a pagan.
Shall I care? No! Never more!
I hate the way you talk to me,
I hate the way you ridicule me.
Go waste your talents on someone else.

Go away! You bother me!
You and your rituals just dont mean a fuck to me!

The more you try,
The farther you fall.
Either its you or its the way you teach.
So either you go away,
Or you find a better way to speak.
Try as you may,
Fall as I will!

Go away! You bother me!
You and your rituals just dont mean a fuck to me!

Insubordinate I am,
Persistent you are.
You win, I die.
You try, I give up.
Happy now? Im sure as hell not.
To tell you the truth,
You put up one hell of a fight.






DEATH BLOOMS

Slipping away
Life getting darker, what has become of me?
Falling effortlessly
Down in this hole I dug so deep.
Everyone just wants to kill me.

We live in such a society,
A society without any sense.
Here no one is wrong, but those who are right are punished.

Miserably sinking
This ocean of despair begins to fill my lungs.
Burning deceitfully
Everything that was fun, everything I loved, turns to ashes.
Why am I here?

We live in such a society,
A society without any sense.
Here no one is wrong, but those who are right are punished.

Lets burn this motherfucker down.
No one is worth a damn here.
Everyone who is hated, hates.
So who is really loves?
Those who hate, hate the loved while the loved hate the haters.

Love and hate,
Theyre both are just some different type of fate.

Time bomb
Thats what I am.
Constantly combusting
Im a hand grenade that never stops exploding.
You all better just get away.






A BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED WORLD


Hell is just a fragment of your imagination,
Filled with pain and devastation.
Fiery pits and demons present to torture,
Making your life seem dimmer and darker.

Welcome to the place,
Welcome to something without a pace.
What a beautifully destroyed world.

Overhead in the big, blue sky,
With a growing population that just wanna get high.
Higher than those whose life is depriving,
I say, Fuck those who made life so comparing.
To the Goths, to the heretics, the religious and atheistic,
Confusing those who dont know which is realistic.
Running blind in a life with so many choices,
Listening to all that choose to use their voices.
Hearing things not knowing what is false, what is true,
We all will eventually form our own world view.

Welcome to the place,
Welcome to something without a pace.
What a beautifully destroyed world.

Living in a world with drugs, anger and opinions,
It sure as hell seems like we are just Satans minions.
Others think different, others think alike,
No one really knows how hard their life will fight.

What a fucked up place to be,
Wont you come and see

Bleating and babbling, everyone has a belief.
Others stealing thoughts like that of a thief.
Living in a world filled with wars, violence and those who arent well,
Makes you wonder if this is really hell

Welcome to the place,
Welcome to something without a pace.
What a beautifully destroyed world.






CONFUSION


Deep down in the dark part of the city,
Two corrupted lives were becoming obscured and gritty.
After months of love that could not be broken,
Everything begins to turn into hell at the flip of a token.
Not knowing what to do, these two begin to conflict.
Stupid fights continue with everyday a new one being picked.
Normally never at each others throats,
It makes you wonder which one really has the higher hopes.
Everyday their more than just a friendship begins to fall apart,
Who really has the bigger heart?
Beginning with lies, nearing the end without respect,
Holding on to the hope to continue on and reflect.
Making those around them feel awkward and uncomfortable,
But yet they receive advice from those who are able.
I hope their troubles will resolve,
Never dissolve.






EXTREMETIES AMONG US


Missing you is the hardest thing I have to face,
It makes me feel so far out of place.
Pictures and telephone conversations arent enough,
Everyday Im not with you everything is so rough.
I miss everything about you,
Your smiles, your beauty, your sweet kisses and love, (just to name a few).
Not one day goes by for me without thinking of you chasing around my mind,
I feel so far away and left behind.
Day in and day out I anticipate hearing your voice.
When I hear you talk, everything else is just a mere noise.
Excitement races through my heart each time I get to see you,
Every time I get the privilege to experience something new.
Everything around me is such a bore,
But I love you so much and youre the only one I adore.
When Im with you, everything is so blurry.
You keep me calm and slow to fury.
For you, I give all my respect.
You are one I will never object.


HIGH HOPES


Across the horizon there once was a boy who made his life as a mere moral.
A child with fears of the equivalence of normal.
This child was like the others always doing what a typical youth of age would do,
Learning things in school like the basic tying of a shoe.
Growing up, the town grew bitter and weaker,
Thus making his life unbalanced and teeter.
Fights grew at the school of residence,
Forcing his parents to move him to a better presence.
The creation of more fears rapidly grew in this small child,
Missing his friends as he went on to a place much more mild.
There he struggled, becoming tired and less cheery,
Growing up adding fears making him weary.
A gain of weight, help of eye site and a correction of teeth,
While his grades dropped way below and beneath.
Making new friends not knowing the outcome,
The once well disciplined child began to understand where he came from.
Growing older in age, improving a world view,
He began to become something bold and new.
Day by day, this youths style changed.
Some found it unnoticed, while others began to see him as corrupted and deranged.
Gaining phobias that normally arent in existence,
His parents feared for him with much persistence.
Being sent to unwanted places,
His mind begins to wander, hurt and leaves without traces.
His perspective of the world made him depressed and drained,
Making himself push farther and farther from sanity leaving him beaten and maimed.
Adding on more and more problems, this once normal child became that of the unknown,
Choosing paths of that wherever he may roam.
Leaving the disaster place of what had tore him apart limb from limb,
He began to realize that he was unwanted and dim.
Those who were there to help this darkened soul, failed miserably,
While leaving him saddened, lonely, beaten and faulty.
What would become of this Outlaw Torn?
Thinking life was useless, he wished he were never born,
He entered a place where he thought it would be the same,
He reunited himself to the friends that would remain.
Living the hell, living the horror,
Knowing that his life kept getting poorer and poorer.
Growing up with divorce, death and attempted suicide,
He began to leave those frayed ends of sanity opening his life more wide.
Adding style, removing weight, enhancing eye vision and corrected teeth,
He still felt there was something missing that kept him in grief.
A year passes beginning to think that of the same before he reached a higher level,
Something different came into his life that refracted the devil.
Beginning to understand his lifes own meaning,
There was a soul that made his life seem more redeeming.
Unsure of what to do, he decided to give something different a chance.
Knowing that life was getting better with this new being, he gave it a second glance.
Growing in heart and emotionally,
He couldnt bear to go on disassociatively.
Growing in love, growing without that of danger from a knife,
His fears and unheard phobias left him at peace with his life.
Life with his one and ever only Engel from above,
Discovering this new beauty and soul with that of the name Julie, he began to grow in love.
She gave him something that he had never before experienced,
Kisses to acknowledge that their friendship was something special and in the present as well as the future tense.
Nothing more would harm him with a knife that would attack,
Due to the being that loved him as well back.
Nothing or no one would he love more,
Then Julie whom he shall ever love and shall ever adore.
Unbinding those horrid ropes that held him behind,
He began to receive higher hopes that made him see better than he did when he stumbled along blind.
Thankful to God for sending this awesome creation,
And for giving him someone to love showing that his life wasnt some desperation,
But more a yearning for a meaning of life and love.
This Godsend art was definitely from that of above.
Love lasting for her he knew could not last forever,
Due to the fact that both of their lives would end some time but eternally living in the never.
Being honored by her presence, he decided that he will dedicate his life of love to her,
Until death should part these two, memories will last and be remembered.
Making their time on earth fun and memorable,
Filled with love and that of inseparable.
Ever faithful, ever loving and understanding,
He knows that there isnt a flaw in this perfect beauty thus making his life evermore ensuring.
High hopes.
