Original Poetry by Mary McIntyre-Terranson Once, when my soul was truly ensconced in the west So Present and Home I saw a Timber Wolf, who In the Infinite "wisdom" of those with thumbs

Wherefore art thou? It's been much too long Since last we met My lover awaits At my window The portal to another world In his heated embrace.

I'm scared of the dark, She says. In a wave of humble confession. No, I'm terrified of it.

You ooze confidence Seeping through that sleazy smile But I know just what you are Won't fool me anymore.

You are the scumbag king The narcissistic liar Manipulative coward Embodiment of Evil. The snake that slithered Hissing secrets That led to Eve's mortal mistake.

You look at me I avert my eyes It's like avoiding staring Straight into the sun. Like I will be blinded Should I look too long.

My mind may seem like a dark place to most Full of monsters, untold horrors That are present in my artistic expressions But I do not fear the same monsters that others might. I do not fear false monsters.

In a world where we worship False prophets and pop stars Instead of praising intelligence And peace makers...

I always get asked, "Why is your poetry so serious and dark? Why don't you write about something happy?" I could be wrong on this, but aren't poets supposed to be Somewhat angsty? The world isn't all rainbows and unicorns. It has real pain and suffering Sadness, disappointment, death....Sarah Palin.

You know that feeling Deep down in your gut That tells you When something isn't right? I ignored it.

I am that dying star Hurdling through space at unimaginable speeds Leaving a trail of light in my wake I will not let you see me fall...

A zombie courted a pirate wench Upon the seven seas Decaying smiles across the miles He only wished to please.

Day and night, I ref an internal fight. Nothing seems to win, nothing loses life. Of all the thoughts and all the prizes, I never once knew what a pointless life meant.

Chosen generation. It is time. Shout your victory and let it be Mine.

The song of pain
is a song of love
with such a great rain
we fall and we're done...
nothing left,
nothings wrong.
I just need a break
and everything will fall in line.
I want a life,
I need some pride.
I need a voice to guide me right...
my heart is torn
i need to mourn.
Nothing speaks like words of scorn.
I need you now...
i always do...
i need a towl that will wash of the dew.
I paid my price...
even exceeded...
nothing was free
even when I pleaded...
you ran away and I stayed in place...
I waited and waited for days on days.
It happened again...
and again and again...
you came back but now
you want to be friends. :'(
I loved...
I gave...
I shoved away
all that I knew
in order to pay
my dues to what
I now call just 'you'.
A 'baby' here and a 'sweetheart' there...
yet nothing is the same without splitting hairs...
nothing but love and nothing but pain...
nothing from above this evil god forsaken thing...
i need you now...
more than ever...
i want to bow to the scorn of pleasure.
If we promised...
what does it mean?
It wasn't carried out and it was not seen.
Not as devotion or even a thing...
more or less a pain
in which we found as a game...
now I need a shoulder to cry on...
but nobody is there like you have
but im gone...
nobody cares like i thought they did...
and even if they do
they can't find truth
in what I see in you.
I never lied...
I never cried...
I was the strong pillar that seemed to be all pride.
I never complained
until you told me again...
yet even at that...
even when I sat...
I don't know where I ran.
But all I know is where I stand
and that is where I have my only friend...
myself.
Call me crazy,
call me weak.
But when you find me lazy
ill have to speak
of all the things that have happened to me
and why I am the plain eyed sam
who wants to be what you wanted me to be...
what I cannot see
is why I cannot be
the thing I need to be...
in order to keep
what I want more than my own life...
which brings us the conclusion
of an internal lie...
