My Memoir Grimoire
Letters steadily seep from my pen
soul kissed, finding their sacred spot
casting spells with words
soaking each page with creation
mating with paper for life
My mind, the sun
often so bright I don't
see the words as they come
they spill, blindly
determined to burn alive
At other times
my mind's shadow
howls at the moon
baring its sharp teeth
with every bitten word
scaring my fingers
Each breath, a second of time
spreading to all four corners
of my favorite pages

Murder of Crows
We are all made of bloodclay
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...

Midnight large
Your soul is mine
Echoes charge
Stealing time
Tonight the stars
Lose their shine
Heaven and hell
Realign
Your soul is mine
Echoes charge
Stealing time
Tonight the stars
Lose their shine
Heaven and hell

Dark
Don't even try to hide it.
The dark knows your fear.
Quite intimately my dear.
Upon the ghastly path to terror's pit.
Into the heart of horror,
the darkness will steer.
Your circuits to a safe reality blown.
Reality is really darkness's shadow.
Take you worst chilling fear,
and worsen it.
A beast in a maniac fit.
Not human or animal,
But a demonic bull.
The unfed dark hungers
with agony's ache.
A bloody beating heart
would surely satiate.
How about yours?
The dark knows your fear.
Quite intimately my dear.
Upon the ghastly path to terror's pit.
Into the heart of horror,
the darkness will steer.
Your circuits to a safe reality blown.
Reality is really darkness's shadow.
Take you worst chilling fear,
and worsen it.
A beast in a maniac fit.
Not human or animal,
But a demonic bull.
The unfed dark hungers
with agony's ache.
A bloody beating heart
would surely satiate.
How about yours?

Drug
When did I make you my drug of choice?
I did not realize I had you so embedded
Until the withdrawal started
The constant wanting to talk
The pull that was never supposed to be
Withdrawal has started
Fine, don’t call
Don’t text
I am totally fine with silence
Withdrawal has started
To hell with it all
I’m sweating for what?
Withdrawal
Ok, I understand
This is too much
I can be too much
Withdrawal
Numb
I see clearly though
Gone
I did not realize I had you so embedded
Until the withdrawal started
The constant wanting to talk
The pull that was never supposed to be
Withdrawal has started
Fine, don’t call
Don’t text
I am totally fine with silence
Withdrawal has started
To hell with it all
I’m sweating for what?
Withdrawal
Ok, I understand
This is too much
I can be too much
Withdrawal
Numb
I see clearly though
Gone

The Banquet Of Dread
The night is thick with whispered breath,
As I prepare this feast of death.
Witches slink from shadows deep,
Goblins crawl while mortals sleep.
The door creaks wide, they shuffle in,
With toothy grins and rotting skin.
I greet them all with eyes alight
Tonight, we dine in endless night.
The table’s draped in crimson thread,
A severed head, the centerpiece spread.
Ribs splayed open, hearts still beat,
Their hollow eyes, my gift...
As I prepare this feast of death.
Witches slink from shadows deep,
Goblins crawl while mortals sleep.
The door creaks wide, they shuffle in,
With toothy grins and rotting skin.
I greet them all with eyes alight
Tonight, we dine in endless night.
The table’s draped in crimson thread,
A severed head, the centerpiece spread.
Ribs splayed open, hearts still beat,
Their hollow eyes, my gift...

Violent Games
Do you want violent games? And my kiss with a bite?
And you know that my bite means I am so excited. Beyond!
Can I tame you, Tiger? With a passionate, spicy taste.
Make me beg for mercy, loudly! Force me to stay.
My movements are timid, you have killed me with passion.
I was resurrected in a wet kiss, Fire wound through your body.
Undressing me is important, Tearing off my clothes boldly.
You are a jerk, I know, Honey! I will hear from the lips.
You killed my fears long ago, And do not hide your audacity.
I'll throw myself onto my knees like a...

Without Auditions - with "Adagio"
They don’t have a set time to visit, these voices,
Like turmoil striking every corner of my mind
A cacophony of whispers, impossible to unwind,
Swirling in shadows, tightening their grip
As invisible tendrils take roots within.
Uninvited without auditions, or recall
Speaking without any validation
Lingering beyond the disembodied darkness
Feeling the pulse of its inequity.
A riddle of noise I can’t seem to untangle,
Indecipherable, no matter how I strain to listen.
Am I descending into madness?
Like turmoil striking every corner of my mind
A cacophony of whispers, impossible to unwind,
Swirling in shadows, tightening their grip
As invisible tendrils take roots within.
Uninvited without auditions, or recall
Speaking without any validation
Lingering beyond the disembodied darkness
Feeling the pulse of its inequity.
A riddle of noise I can’t seem to untangle,
Indecipherable, no matter how I strain to listen.
Am I descending into madness?

The Other Me
I see her in the mirror,
Her smile a shade too wide,
Eyes that echo mine, yet hollow,
With secrets tucked inside.
She moves in time, but lingers,
Her step just out of sync,
as if she's waiting for a sign
To sever our fragile link.
Her fingers twitch, just slightly wrong,
Not quite mine but close,
A shiver runs down through my spine,
as her reflection grows.
She mouths the words I never spoke,
A silent threat, a plea,
That when the moon climbs high tonight,
She’ll trade her...
Her smile a shade too wide,
Eyes that echo mine, yet hollow,
With secrets tucked inside.
She moves in time, but lingers,
Her step just out of sync,
as if she's waiting for a sign
To sever our fragile link.
Her fingers twitch, just slightly wrong,
Not quite mine but close,
A shiver runs down through my spine,
as her reflection grows.
She mouths the words I never spoke,
A silent threat, a plea,
That when the moon climbs high tonight,
She’ll trade her...

Check-in
Checking in a void hotel
Room triple six
Your doppelganger hands you a key
Eyes transfixed
Ghostly tones whisper
"Just along the hall "
Light flickers, blood stains
Upon a blacken wall
You try to go asleep
Say a little prayer
In the corner, a silhouette
Rocking in a chair
Sweating, heart beating
Scratching at the door
Ghoulish laughter, evil spirits
Nail you to the floor
Room triple six
Your doppelganger hands you a key
Eyes transfixed
Ghostly tones whisper
"Just along the hall "
Light flickers, blood stains
Upon a blacken wall
You try to go asleep
Say a little prayer
In the corner, a silhouette
Rocking in a chair
Sweating, heart beating
Scratching at the door
Ghoulish laughter, evil spirits
Nail you to the floor

Feast O’ demons
Blood sucking humans, we are all
Down to hell’s darkest we should fall
All our days are hollowed we ween
Killing in the name of love and of deen
Angles have left us to sing and pray
To the one who’s game we think we play
Beheading dreams of those we slay
Men, women, children of yesterday
Teeth digging deep in innocent hearts
Drinking blood as souls we rip apart
Night or day in darkness all the same
Standard bearing righteousness we think we claim
We don’t deserve to...

Men, women, children of yesterday
Teeth digging deep in innocent hearts
