Little Wounds
When I found out a step relative of mine, used to cut herself,
I tried one time to cut myself,
To see what it was like,
I hated it, it hurt, I gave it a strong dislike,
I lied and said the bandaid on the side of my hand was a cat scratch (I get those all the time).
But this time,
I just reached for the pocket knife like I've done it a million times,
I've never been one to cut, not the many times
My heart has hurt, so I have no idea why I rushed to it,
And I just did it.
I never thought I would get here,
Not even near.
My first real...

Devotion.
Eternally recalling an unholy state of bliss, was the night I gave myself unto, her sweet serrated kiss………
Willingly surrendered no resistance did I give, to this god forsaken creature, I am hopeless to resist.
Undying in her arms I give my final mortal breath, slipping out from living darkness, enlightenment in death.
The price of my devotion is perpetual unrest, growing darker with the absence of a beat within my chest….
A partnership of darkness born of lust unlike no other, a taste for crimson ecstasy a bond we share together.
Every night her lips adorn the throat...

you've summoned my darkness
unfurling madness I spike and sting
it is nigh the note is on the door
do no wicked here lest it be you next
hex upon hex I am Her he came before
too much power for a woman perhaps
but here she is regardless
hear me roar
grievous is your error tread lightly less ye be marked
come into my crimson peace and feed your greed
it hurts to be this fierce but my kindness won't be take for weakness
spite upon spite the paranormal are out hunting
they won't take this shit any longer

The Painter’s Thoughts
I’ll paint you in every color til they melt into a mess of ugly, and the paper dissolves with the remnants of who you were, seeped into every inch of its fabric. No canvas could hold the heavy weight of your spectrum, and it happened once I dipped that brush in. Etched inside, my signature there, even as your body began to tear.

Out of the Sacred
Oh see her
And witness
the dying of an Angel
Her face
Torn from it's shadows
Grimacing and angular
Scowling woman's perversions
Like alabaster deity
While whisps of her veil
Singe and rise
Carried off and into
Some cold
and unholy current
And her ashes
They obscure my sun
And they darken the sanctuary
Of my horizon
She passes
And it would not be quick
Then tossing great beauty to the floor

Darkness beyond the stars
That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die”. H.P. Lovecraft.
In the beyond, it thrashes, cries.
Through unending gulfs where darkness lies.
No-one knows where or whence it came.
Or comprehends its cosmic game.
It would seem beyond our reach.
Past the bounds of infinity.
But it can find you in your dreams.
Curse you with a nightmare scene.
Conjure horrors, alien, insane.
And monstrosities, too dark to name.
Whisper things, beyond space and time.
Blasphemies that destroy...
In the beyond, it thrashes, cries.
Through unending gulfs where darkness lies.
No-one knows where or whence it came.
Or comprehends its cosmic game.
It would seem beyond our reach.
Past the bounds of infinity.
But it can find you in your dreams.
Curse you with a nightmare scene.
Conjure horrors, alien, insane.
And monstrosities, too dark to name.
Whisper things, beyond space and time.

The Horde
Seething black souls, legions rise
At dusk they crawl, they chastise
In the depths of a certain demise
The woes of existence, they feed
Spreading the despair they breed
Dim the light, as worlds will bleed
Indecent thoughts, the wicked come
Heinous brethren, all shall succumb
The vile take over this dying kingdom
Graveyard of evil, thy soul's temptress
For those who hear the call of darkness
The horde is here, beware of it's caress
At dusk they crawl, they chastise
In the depths of a certain demise
The woes of existence, they feed
Spreading the despair they breed
Dim the light, as worlds will bleed
Indecent thoughts, the wicked come
Heinous brethren, all shall succumb
The vile take over this dying kingdom
Graveyard of evil, thy soul's temptress
For those who hear the call of darkness
The horde is here, beware of it's caress

darkness becomes me
do you know me then sorrow?
dance with me then tonight
come inside I will shelter within
cradle deep in the crevices of pain
I am undone it will not mend tonight
I weep deep down
I will not disavow, no
play a violin of whispers
then ride madly into the night
I ache for the marrow
tonight is full
tomorrow is unknown
we are one for now
too much hurt inside me
do you know my Vatican walls intimately?
paint them true blue I am nothing without my faith
I am sadistic but true

Decimatio
Suffer the living tenth in tithes
History mixes freely with myth
By slaughtering of cohort lives
Paying heavy loss cheap spent
Discarded standard to survive
Minor penalty unto the 9/10th

Prophets
And death shall linger in the air
Catastrophe
Yet no regrets
'Til demons drift
Upon door steps
While truth resides within the throats
Of prophets who
Cannot repent
Decay with us
The innocent

Nocnitsa
I hear her walking
No longer stalking
My visitation
Is scheduled
Since childhood
This torture
Her screeching
Rings in my ears
Songs of past
Traumas
She does not knock
Comes right in
Shall I leave cookies?
I try to fade
While I hide
In darkness
Pills replace sleep
She takes a seat
On my chest
To watch the
Hypnagogic cinema
And torment
I play dead
With every drift
She taps my shoulder
