Facilis descensus averni - The descent into hell is easy.
I doubt that I am talented enough to express the meaning or describe accurately what this poem is all about. The beauty of poetry is that we all are free to derive what so ever we wish to from it . So please feel free to share your perspectives with me.

Death's Scars
Death lingers and revolves in a natural form, a residual being who can see your dreams, nightmares and if it so wishes the common daydreams of mortals. Dreams spill into nightmares so easily that the shift can spur the unknown. What creates the bridge between thought and conciousness? Death is meaning and silence. The mortal path always leads to the same end. Overlapping and intermingling infinitely till life meets death. Though in some instances it's not as simple as that. What kind of life can one lead when death is around every corner? Glimpses into the past, present, and even the future are all tied to death. Can you outrun death even when it licks at your very heels? Who will it take next?Complete

Too Complicated
"I remember his face, his eyes that begged for forgiveness, his body as it shook with anger and emotion. I remember how my world fell apart right before him and how he watched me completely disintegrate because of what he did. What he committed. The way he betrayed me. The heart he took from me and shattered. The trust I gave him that he threw away. He ruined it all, he ruined me. And now I'm forever broken, nothing can ever bring me back. Nothing." WARNING: sexual content, explicit content, language and violence.Complete

Time Can't Heal This
I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by. These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.Complete

Dum Spiro Spero
A combination of 26 symbols on the many shades of my descent into madness. (the later ones are the most recent, the ones at the start are from when I was about 15 or so. I was relatively poor at writing poetry back then; 'backwards questions' was my first poem ever I think. However, I will not delete them. At some point if I ever want to professionally publish my work, I will filter out the ones that are too immature and poorly written. But for now, they stay)Complete
