Literature

Dark As Light, Light As Dark

Confusion, addiction, no patience, no grace, How can I live at the whole worlds pace? I hate what I see, I love what I hate, And the world seems to go, at an impossible rate. Lost, gone, the real world is one inch deep, The world moves on as everyone weeps. I don't like being cynical, hating, or sad, I suppose the position I'm in is just a fad. No one ever hates for long, not someone good, I believe I am good, it's just a little deep under the hood. I don't want to be negative, judging all around, But I don't want to be in this place, I hate the sound. Guns, knives, brass knuckles, bats, You know it's bad when they start hiding w

Run

I don't like this place, I just don't like the feel. It feels kind of toxic, Even though that's real. I want to run, run in my dreams, Sleep until all is well. Sleep until it feels more clean, Just sleep in my corner and dwell. I've given up; almost, It's coming to the end of my string. I don't want to hear another news story, Or endure another fling. So I want to run, run in my dreams, Away from this maddened earth. Run a thousand miles, Run all the way back to birth. Run. Run. Run. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPHEN J. SHEPHERD

Take A Stance by DazedNConfused27, literature

Literature

Take A Stance

I look around this earth, And hate seeing wars fought. I see people being stabbed, I see people getting shot. In a world where nothing is good, In a world where we fear dominance. Can we all stand up to the powers, Us people, taking a stance? If we all did something right, Would our world be falling? Why do we keep holding off? Why do we keep stalling? Suck it up, do something right, Help those who are in need. If we keep ignoring the problems, We're just planting the seed. If we all did something right, Would our world be falling? Why do we keep holding off? Why do we keep stalling? Take a stance. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPH

An End To Beauty by DazedNConfused27, literature

Literature

An End To Beauty

He sits back in the chair, Covering his agony with humour. Throwing away all hope, All sense of any demeanor. He looks at me and says, 'I'm done with all of this.' And I jump forward to grab it, But he's already slit his wrist. 'Don't!' I said, 'Fuck!' 'Why did you have to do it.' He couldn't of put with life, And just taken all the shit. I whimper and cry, My eyes wet with sorrow. Why did he have to do it? There was a heart he could have borrowed. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPHEN J SHEPHERD

A Fantasy To Remember by DazedNConfused27, literature

Literature

A Fantasy To Remember

A dream, I know it, This can't be real. She looks too beautiful, It seems so surreal. She walks towards me, Arms outstretched. My heart is racing, My facial expression sketched. I'm at my car, Holding that rose. But I don't have a car, So no one knows. She's closer now, Ecstacy, today is great. Now that I'm here, There's nothing to sedate. I wrap my arms around her, Squeeze her so tight. Tell her she's the best, And that things are now right. It feels so right, So perfect, so true. I tell her she's beautiful, And say 'I love you...' She takes the rose, From my hands. Her hair smells like flowers, Of all different b

Them...

Once, on a cold rainy day, a rabbit sat, hidden under a hole in the base of a tree. This rabbit had fur that showed the softness of a cotton ball. It's beautiful coat was of a perfect white colour, slight sparkles coming off of it's back from the rain that had fallen as it ran desperately for cover. If a thirteen year old girl had seen this rabbit, she would have fallen in love with it in an instant. It's blue eyes shone like a gem. It was a beautiful example of nature at it's best. She sat there, waiting for the rain to cease, and once it had, she hopped her way back home to her mate. She hopped and hopped, beautifully bouncing up and dow

Cigarettes by DazedNConfused27, literature

Cigarettes

Around me it’s dark, As the cigarette lights. I don’t want to feel lonely, On any of these nights. My hair flies up, In the freezing breeze. I look for life around me, But all I find are trees. There’s one thing that’s been there, Over the past few weeks. These cigarettes have been there, Through my low points and peeks. Aftermath I’m glad it’s passed, I can’t even believe. How long it took to realize, That I couldn’t even breathe. The desire has gone, I’m already dead, why die again? Why suck up that poison, To inialate the pain. Written: January 11, 2007.

Literature

A Tuesday Morning's Thoughts

As the wind changes course, I don’t know what to do. Should I change with the wind? Or experience something new? I’m not sure how I feel, My emotions tend to confuse. Some things I wished I’d turned down, Were impossible to refuse. I’m glad I gave that away, That weakness deep within. I’m a better man for it, They can tell from my grin. It seems that in society it’s terrible, The hypocrisy we all face. The words that are left unsaid, This world ahead of our pace. My days seem to grow longer, The same routine every week. How long will it take me? To find this happiness that I seek? I wish I cou

On a day were the sun, Rises and sets. In the same direction, As our worry frets. The day our spirits, Collide in a wave. And our body's intertwined, Beyond the grave. Will be the day I smile, Watching all go by. Knowing that people know, That we don't truly die. Im not religious, Not in the least. I don't like the way they talk, Those misguided priests. But something is beyond this, There's more than just science. Truth will be seen, When we see death's clients. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPHEN J SHEPHERD

One Girls' Tale

And then he said... 'You'll like it, I promise, I won't let you down. Just sit back and accept, And get rid of that frown.' He toyed around, Pushed her to the side. Landed a slap, And she knew that he lied. He did it, he really did, There was nothing she could do. She said 'watch yourself Matt,' 'My dad will kill you.' He pushed himself in, Ignoring her cries. Went so far, To see tears in her eyes. 'Stop it!' She yelled, 'Stop it! Please.' She was totally ready, To beg on her knees. 'Please!' She said, 'Please... No more!' He didn't catch on, Thinking she was his whore. Don't play with fire, You'll obviously be burnt

Worst Night Of My Life

She cried when I told her, The words slipping out. I couldn't stand the noise she made, It filled my words with doubt. 'Honey, my heart, Just isn't with you anymore.' 'I don't feel the way I did, Looking behind those doors.' Her wails filled the room, My heart sank to the floor. Why oh why, does this happen to me? Why oh why can't I find someone I adore? She cried longer, louder, harder, Each exhale hitting me in the chest. I loved her, I really did, but, These memories aren't the same as the rest. I hate telling her, My head's spinning round. I'm shocked in the heart, At what I had found. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPHEN J. SHEP

The Glistening Past

'He's gone,' she said, 'I can't believe he's gone.' 'How can you be strong,' 'He hasn't been gone long...' I said to her, as I pulled, And smoked my cigarette. I said to her, so real, That I could no longer feel. 'I can't believe he's gone,' 'But at the same time, I knew.' 'I knew that he would die,' But I never knew why. She looked at me, With confusion. She said those last words; 'If you knew that he would die,' 'Why would you never cry?' COPYRIGHT BY STEPHEN J SHEPHERD

Literature

Predicted, Patient, True Love

Love. Love is a word, Not many can define. Love is a feeling, You get with a sign. Love can be adoration, Desire, and pride. But love always does, Come from inside. I want love, I do, Patience will bring me my girl. That girl I can cry beside, And talk to while my stomach whirls. A rose for every time, I'll of wanted to say I love you. As we look up at the stars. It'll be when we knew. Knew that we were in love, Knew we'd never grow apart. Knew that we were perfect, Knew that this was the start. COPYRIGHT 2009 BY STEPHEN J.

Literature

The Vampire Kiss

Blood red lips conceal the fangs, for love or lust, the hunger pangs, one soft incision, one moment of bliss, grow limp to the lure of the vampire kiss Stalk the night in search of prey, Live in shadow, Sleep by day, Clothe the world in drapes of dark, Dead lips scream - enduring; hark! For love is lost where life is too, Together apart, romance askew, A cold embrace, a withered heart, A resentful love, one cannot impart Trapped in a corpse, roaming the Earth, Devoid of humanity, Robbed of all mirth, To be immortal means to never be free, Of the torment of life, never rested will be.

My Bio

My name's Stephen J Shepherd, I've lived in Scarborough, Ontario all my life. I'm a percussionist, I used to play drums in a band called Not A Clue, the band before that was called Morning Waits, and now I'm starting a project with my ex-guitarist from Morning Waits, no name yet. I also write poetry, and I'm into visual art, it all calms me. My drum kit is the only thing in this world that will always listen. I hate liars, even if it is a white lie, if you have something to say, I don't want a bent truth, you say it straight up, and I'll respect that. I don't believe in God, Alla, or any other cultural beings. Organized religion feeds my anger towards the world. Religion is -in my opinion- one of the biggest causes for humanity to be divided. I believe in a supreme being that goes by no name. After all, something had to start this horrific tragedy we call earth. Some people think I'm a fool, and a bully, I think I'm the last honest person on this planet. Honesty and trust these days have flown out the window along with humanities morals. You can't trust a sole these days, everyone's out to get you in their own little way. Perhaps I'm a little weird, or dark, or both. But don't label me, I still have my morals, and that's more than I can say for 3/4's of humanity. You laugh at me because I'm different, But I laugh at you because you're all the same.

Days grow long

0 min read

I don't really know where to begin, where to go after that, or after that. All I know is how I feel. The days have grown longer. I find it so hard to manage recently. I quit smoking May 8th, 2009. And it seems everything has grown less colourful. I've been spending a lot of time in the house. Some days the only time I get out is when I force myself to go for a run, or a bike ride. I've lost contact with all of my friends. Everyone. I feel like I've drifted from everyone, I now miss a feeling of closeness I used to feel oh so often. In short, it seems like I've gone into a bit of a depression. I know I'll come out of this, I just need a
