Here are a few poems I wrote that are pending "publishment" now, tell me what ya think, too much?
1.
Judgment
My heart is heavy like a ball of lead,
Faces around me all reflect dread,
The air is cold and the sun is gone,
But soon at least will come the dawn,
Just as everything begins to fade,
Then comes our train on the tracks we've lain,
With the others I board in visible silence,
The train blasts off with unthinkable violence,
The tracks rumble and the carts shake,
Our hearts beat a hundred with each breath we take,
Suddenly a bright light through the clouds shine,
Warmth spreads across me like a grape vine,
Like an inflating balloon my heart fills with joy,
I haven't been so happy since I was a boy,
Then I grow hot and the train starts to speed,
Following a flame that had taken the lead,
The train soon becomes a steal burning cage,
My heart begins boiling with all of my rage,
My lungs fill with fire,
My soul the heat claims,
...then darkness came...

Bliss
Sanguine rivers like a burning labyrinth snake within my being,
I tremble uncontrollably with my fist clenched to my
ring,
With every fleeting instant my anger begins to rise,
That ever steady drumbeat in my chest just will not die,
I desire with every fiber of everything that i posess,
To taste that bitter sweet metallic rill inside her neck,
Content becomes frustration,
Anger turns into rage,
Trapped within my torment,
I'm a prisoner in a cage,
This upcoming peccancy,
Is my impropriety,
Implacable reality,
Conflicting personality,
See me
Love me,
Hate me,
Hold me,
Let me cut out your breath,
Let me give you one last gift,
A quick and easy death.

3.
Inquisition
Firstly,
With my genius I am quite intriqued,
I know I shouldn't worry for it will never be fatigued,
A dozen possibilities assemble in my head,
I pick the one I want and pull that perfect thread,
Even as presented I cannot help but smile,
The look upon her face is more than worth the while,
At first she begins to sputter out her very own demise,
I see the worry there inside blooming from her eyes,
I say nothing,
I let her go,
Tripping over her lies,
First she's angry,
Yelling madly,
Then the anger dies,
Replaced first with shock,
Then frustration,
Then at the end with fear,
She knows what is coming next,
My expression was very clear,
With utter panic and genuine sincerity she begs me one last time,
Then without one hesitation I snatch away my prize,
Leaving her in desperation,
With no ultimate destination,
Laughing then at my revelation,
I sever those worthless ties

Journey
I live this life,
Every day,
An ocean of emotion and belief,
I'm bound to this place called Mother Earth,
Who fills me with all of this grief,
My body,
My soul,
My mind,
My heart,
All ache for something more,
Long at night I stay awake,
Dreaming of whiter shores,
Then I come to realize,
That happiness is a joke,
All of joy is in my sleep,
From which I'll be awoke,
The only way to end this pain,
Will be to leave this world behind,
None of this can ever change,
Life cannot rewind,
Please God forgive me for my sins,
Don't cast me down to doom,
Have Peter open the Gates for me,
I'll come to join you soon
