For you
For you
I dispel the pain you give
and discard it in the trash
I take the sensitivity of touch from my skin off
and cover it evenly over your numbed expectations
I unhook my voice from the vibrations
in my vocal folds
and fashion a knife from it
I disembowel the trepidations
in my gut feeling of you
I spill my guts out
for you
look how pretty my secrets
and confessions look
dissolving in the truth
like rust in acids
I strip down to the bare bone
set my soul to flames ...
I dispel the pain you give
and discard it in the trash
I take the sensitivity of touch from my skin off
and cover it evenly over your numbed expectations
I unhook my voice from the vibrations
in my vocal folds
and fashion a knife from it
I disembowel the trepidations
in my gut feeling of you
I spill my guts out
for you
look how pretty my secrets
and confessions look
dissolving in the truth
like rust in acids
I strip down to the bare bone
set my soul to flames ...

Poison Apple
I’m hungry
I want something to eat
Everyone’s asleep though
I can’t have this because it’s too loud
I can’t have that because I can’t find my mug
I’m all out of options
Guess I’ll have an apple
It’s not very good
Each bite makes me wish it was poisoned
But at least I’m not hungry
I want something to eat
Everyone’s asleep though
I can’t have this because it’s too loud
I can’t have that because I can’t find my mug
I’m all out of options
Guess I’ll have an apple
It’s not very good
Each bite makes me wish it was poisoned
But at least I’m not hungry

New start
I can feel winter blowing in
Bringing its frigid cold and blanket snow
To drift up and around my heart
I've weathered this bleakness before
With flaming fire and starved desire
Until spring arose from the dark
But somethings different this time around
I feel it in my broken will and poison pills
Heaven doesn't seem quite so far
The thought brings a relinquished relief
Tired of clinging to the past and hoping for happiness
This soul is ready for a new start
Bringing its frigid cold and blanket snow
To drift up and around my heart
I've weathered this bleakness before
With flaming fire and starved desire
Until spring arose from the dark
But somethings different this time around
I feel it in my broken will and poison pills
Heaven doesn't seem quite so far
The thought brings a relinquished relief
Tired of clinging to the past and hoping for happiness
This soul is ready for a new start

Drunk on the Blood of Martyrs
There is a burning reaching deep
From the rough edges evil seeps
Beneath the shroud a demon’s keep
That feasts upon the children’s sleep
At first the voice so gentle be
That whispers almost silently
A flesh and bone and blood decree
A soul lost for eternity
Talons ripping the mind inside
Injecting thoughts of homicide
Where innocence has all but died
An empty shell the devil lied
A spoken vow of blood to pay
An ache that never goes away
Such hunger I have for my prey
Today may be your final day ...
From the rough edges evil seeps
Beneath the shroud a demon’s keep
That feasts upon the children’s sleep
At first the voice so gentle be
That whispers almost silently
A flesh and bone and blood decree
A soul lost for eternity
Talons ripping the mind inside
Injecting thoughts of homicide
Where innocence has all but died
An empty shell the devil lied
A spoken vow of blood to pay
An ache that never goes away
Such hunger I have for my prey
Today may be your final day ...

Maneater
Wandering entity casted from the flaming pit
Ingraved upon the forehead 666 by Lucifer’s generational kiss
Lost and abandoned, to bring doom and gloom
Denouced from Heaven’s fate, risen from a hellish tomb
Can’t seem to find the light, dimed by its darken glow
Heaven hath no remorse when divine Angels does not console
In the beginning there was the sacred truth, the word
Lashes to the Nephilim's who now soars as demonic birds
Death and destruction from its lair it brings, Hades’ songs loudly rings
Ingraved upon the forehead 666 by Lucifer’s generational kiss
Lost and abandoned, to bring doom and gloom
Denouced from Heaven’s fate, risen from a hellish tomb
Can’t seem to find the light, dimed by its darken glow
Heaven hath no remorse when divine Angels does not console
In the beginning there was the sacred truth, the word
Lashes to the Nephilim's who now soars as demonic birds
Death and destruction from its lair it brings, Hades’ songs loudly rings

So far out, But still together
I reached my hands out,
As my entire world seemed to spin around me,
I didn't comprehend what was happening,
This was all so sudden,
Why didn't I get a warning?
Something could have prevailed,
But again why nothing?
My breaths are so heavy,
I feel tied down to the floor,
My eyes are running like water
And burning like hell,
I sound so silent,
But my thoughts are so loud,
What is happening
I'm now looking at that hole in the ground,
I'm watching as you're being lowered,
But in a way I know I'm in...

My eyes are running like water

Last Cigarette and Blindfold
Drinking by the well
I've tossed hundreds of wishes
Fed the fates every penny I could find
Thinking all is well
I've prayed thousands of times
The only answer was losing my mind
One more step
Just one more step
Smoking one last time
I've died so many ways and here I am
Not that you cared when I was alive
Writing one last rhyme
Remembering the faces, flash like a shot
Straight through the brain and out my eyes
One more step
One last step
I've tossed hundreds of wishes
Fed the fates every penny I could find
Thinking all is well
I've prayed thousands of times
The only answer was losing my mind
One more step
Just one more step
Smoking one last time
I've died so many ways and here I am
Not that you cared when I was alive
Writing one last rhyme
Remembering the faces, flash like a shot
Straight through the brain and out my eyes
One more step
One last step

Who's On First
Tangoing with mangoes
dark quill revelation
dripping the ink's cider
rotting and decaying
sealed within your heart
but I am only your ghost
a Slinky without stairs
and then comes the fauna
of speckled old prose
tangoing with mangoes
from my mind's rocking chair
dark quill revelation
dripping the ink's cider
rotting and decaying
sealed within your heart
but I am only your ghost
a Slinky without stairs
and then comes the fauna

Winds of Rendezvous
Hearing the winds of rendezvous
chilling the blanket of snow
colder than the heart of my soul
beneath the heels of this earth
a mound of dirt turned to salt
clinging to stone shrouding bones
hearing the winds of rendezvous
chilling the blanket of snow
colder than the heart of my soul
beneath the heels of this earth
a mound of dirt turned to salt
clinging to stone shrouding bones
hearing the winds of rendezvous

Your Stench Is Reeking Abyzou (Part I of 30)
You have been forewarned my wild child
Now you are in my realm no Golden Sun shall shine
I will give as you wish
As my hounds of Hades shall shred the beast and the bitch
You may have your make believe throne
For any mortal who sits beside you, curses his own birthright, never to see daylight, and will never atone
You are my pet in the obscurity of darkness
This is a nightmare upon your skin felt
My deep lashes felt, acid stinging welts
...
Now you are in my realm no Golden Sun shall shine

flower head
A flowers petals bloom out too fast to enjoy
they open to show their sticky red nectar
leaking and bubbling, overflowing
it seeps through the cracks between the petals
staining the curly fuzz on its edges
climbing up those bronze coil wires
eating through them
and they sink
because the weight of blood is too much
they open to show their sticky red nectar
leaking and bubbling, overflowing
it seeps through the cracks between the petals
staining the curly fuzz on its edges
climbing up those bronze coil wires
eating through them
and they sink
because the weight of blood is too much
