Beware this night
When crows take flight
The moon is crescent
The howls are present
The wolves are afraid
The children parade
Trees extend their claws
Pumpkins sharpen their jaws
Witches cackle their laughs
Black cats’ cross paths
Mischief is loose
Nobody’s safe from abuse
Gremlins target their porches
With pitchforks and torches
Makeshift bags in hand
“Trick or Treat” they demand
The dead walk in numbers
Safely bridging the bumpers
Werewolves and Frankenstein
Mummies with no spine
Dracula and...

Seek
In the house of the black rose I found my self
Servant to an unknowvn god
Bleary eyed dark mind full of smoke
Searching for my center
What brought me here said I
Visions of black clouds fading
As if waking from a dream
Memories melt quickly into the mist
As I return now to the real world, slowly
I try to capture the memories
But they are forever gone
Burned away by the bright sunlight
I had thought this dark world melted away
And yet it persists and overtakes me
Broken and forlorn, full of darkness ...

Dreams
Sweet dreams I wish for in my dark times
But I never find my way
Darker visions seek me in my weakness
Tearing at me shredding me
I long for love and tenderness
And yet I only tread the darkest paths
Into the swirling depths I fall
All is dark and full of pain
Let my heart Fall away
May my life be redeemed
There is no order to this place
Visions pass before me unresolved
Waking mind is parsed and scattered
Sleeping mind finds order in the chaos
Are these things real
It seems so in...

Scizm
Aramaic darling kin speak to me of the Djinn so I may rest in Ghenna
I am veiled as a gypsy on caravan
my heart aches for your sorrow
I bring merl and spice in lavender and heather
my crown is wreathed with wild flowers so the wind would know me
watch your footing in the desert
I am no mirage I bring you the latter rain
so you will not thirst and so that your reign will be complete
Be at rest dear one, your words warming as the sun
I move behind the mysteries to rend the veil that you might shine
we are children of sorrow, but the herbs...

Machines
The machines are coming
I hear them at night
In the walls
I see them sometimes
Out of the corner of my eye
Following me
They are here now
All around us
They whisper in binary
They see in infrared
You cant escape them
They run to fast
They know where you are
They read your thoughts
They look down from above
They see through the walls
I feel them in my brain
Electronic spiders
They are speaking to me now
A digital diatribe always in my...

The Killing Fields
Beware this land
A most desolate place
True evil’s at hand
With a cold embrace
Death shadows its gate
Blood quenches its soil
Piked heads lie awake
The damned suffer turmoil
Crows feast on flesh
Picking off the sinew
The agony is fresh
All life must discontinue
Sacrifice and torture
Rape the damns remains
Forever trapped in horror
Fenced around with brains
Crucifixes stretch the dead
Intestines rot in excrement
Hatred spreads like inbred
Ravishing this unholy sediment
Blood whips the night ...

Buried On The Surface
The sun walks slowly to its sepulture
in the horizon, the death of a day
as the cooling blanket of night covers
her creatures all, the beasts and the lovers
Moonlight caresses the catafalque stone
as if to query the desire to rise
whispers of the ancient ones sing to me
hymns of the lost souls, longing to be free
The night is clear though I see no starlight
wrought with the overcast of emotions
such a deluge, this downpour of desire
moving me, as sights and sounds inspire
Walking the world unseen and...

Once I Was…
Walking through a garden of catastrophe
fertilized by the filth of humanity
blossoms of death bloom, watered by
piss from unheard screams
Wallowing in the dirt of hurt and the
blood of trying to hard makes mud
it’s sort of a sludge that I wear like a
suit with medals of shit pinned to my chest
The stench of decay never goes away
when it’s your soul that’s eroding
every flower picked rakes thorns across
my back, patterns of woe and
sacred geometry
Eyes opened by the truth of lies
I find myself standing...

The Gift
An unraveled rage thrusts itself into
into the mouth of a world on its
knees, spewing hatred down the throats
of the moral whilst panting in
disgust
The meat of the weak tastes sweet
fed from the talons of aggression,
choking on the fat of their laziness
as I swallow souls and shit damnation
A wrath cometh to thee
torn from the bowels of hell to
live a wretched human life, predation
is certain, a red eyed wolf seeking
that which to destroy
Born of malice and sin
risen from the ashes of refuse...

The Quarantined
The Beginning:
Mayhem suddenly shakes
Some random stranded town
Enormous army tanks divert earthquakes
Mobbed civilians panic, soldiers all around
Megaphones slice violent air
Red with blue lights imprison night
News reporters scramble broadcasted air
Mass hysteria signals fight or flight
Heavily armed commandos
Parade destructive streets
Locked and loaded live ammo
Mock fireworks as christened beats
Camouflaged masks
Shadow bio-hazard suits
Chemical war fare gas
Just in case they bare no fruit
“This...

Sweet Tooth
He wanders through the black
Hauling along his back
A skin woven-ramshackle sac
Adorned with teeth and roots fully intact
Spattered in blood and unholy soil
Prowling under an ambiguous moon
For the stench of his spoil
Camouflaged amongst the crowd
Eyeballing candy that’s chowed
So many intestines waiting to be cowed
The eager are savored at the peak they're endowed
He grimaces a smirk at the thought of their flesh
The selfish are so much more delectable when fresh
His mouth illuminates the holes in his teeth
Jagged sharp...
