Injured by those angry stabs

Wed To Crickets
A young tainted rose
of crimson blood
climbing the trellis
of your mind
spawning embryos
losing my sanity
catching your breath
between thorn and dawn
dripping the dew
of silence
wed to the crickets
of crimson blood
climbing the trellis
of your mind
spawning embryos
losing my sanity
catching your breath
between thorn and dawn
dripping the dew
of silence
wed to the crickets

Wings of Night4
listen to the dark
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night
wings bloodied eyes
filled future to fly
it will tell you
where the empty hearts are
beating before time
as the fallen stars far
crafted by hands
borealis poles scarred
flashed into the night
wings bloodied eyes
filled future to fly

hounds sniffing
blessing with
heated black breath
chained mistress
torching the
wolf-bitten night
with vociferous
cyber eyes
salivating surreal
unleashed
bitch of arctic earth

Afraid to dream
Lying awake while the rest of the world is sleeping.
I'm afraid of what will show up while I'm dreaming.
I'm afraid of what will show up while I'm dreaming.

Dead Inside
Dead beneath my skin, /
emptiness swallows my soul , /
breath life into me.
emptiness swallows my soul , /
breath life into me.

The perilous nature of being
i gather
the
scattered shards
pick them up
piece
by
piece
careful
not
to
cut
any deeper

The deathly hallow
Day by day my lonely heart begins to wallow.
The loss of the future I planned is hard to swallow.
Destined to die, depression is a deathly hallow.
The loss of the future I planned is hard to swallow.
Destined to die, depression is a deathly hallow.

Under My Skin
You can see the bruises
In my daze
I find them beautiful
If hauntingly so
Romantic
Gifts from my lover
There are others
Invisible
Deeper layers of tissue hurt
So tender to the touch
My psyche is also bruised
In my daze
I find them beautiful
If hauntingly so
Romantic
Gifts from my lover
There are others
Invisible
Deeper layers of tissue hurt
So tender to the touch
My psyche is also bruised
