bad sigils on my own doorstep

over&again
i prophesy

instinct emphasis
curses and cures

from obsidian screens
manifest flesh
licks with its long tongue
stirs with its long spoon

whole inside me
spectral thrusts
i bite his neck
her breasts

they cure for a time

she skinny slips back into her shell
her smile- never so flat and exalted


fuck you all

Trials and Executions

They are quick to judge with blind anger,
They fear that which they don’t understand,
In the halls of justice the ignorance clangors,
When the words of a child can rule the land.

But in dark times they take the necessary steps,
To fight evil forces that have been raised,
And they are all fueled by the mass hysteria,
Fooled by their belief when they are just as crazed.

The righteous, like a mob of demons possessed,
Hover over the accused with law and sacred will,
Unjustly condemning as they’ve become obsessed,
Like hungry wolves with a virtuous thirst to kill.

So with divine right they take certain delight,
In punishing the flesh for the poor soul’s sake,
And with inhumane rite they deliver a sentence,
By hanging them and burning them at the stake.

And they all gather around to watch the punishment,
As cries and screams fill the air which weren’t deserved,
Falsely accused and wrongly judged, they kill the innocent,
While amidst the crowds the witches quietly observe.

The Witch

Twisted mind with hopeful dreams    
Laughing eyes and silent screams    
Hold the world in tiny hands    
Crush the ones who take a stand    
   
Sacred verses steeped in lies    
Words lead to your own demise    
Stand you not upon my door    
Whisper lies to me no more    
   
Spend your hours weaving spells    
Power drawn from depths of hell    
Incantations of the mind    
Poisoned dreams that leave you blind    
   
Hearts enslavement through your charms    
Darkness holds you in her arms    
Bind the weak and slay the strong    
Mesmerizing siren song    
   
I do not submit to you    
My heart is bright my words are true    
Come now witch and do your worst    
Let you fall under this curse    
   
Darkness cover you with thorns    
Frozen heart that never warms    
Demons wrest you from your bed    
Ghostly voices in your head    
   
Empty mind and frozen heart    
Madness tear your world apart    
Take your voice and take your sight    
You will bleed for me tonight

the homeless mans body lay outstretched, along the wall of the building
i sat close to it, watching out of the corner of my eye if he would move
i decided he was dead and there wasnt much i could do, so i got up and left
sometime later police had gathered round
but there was nothing they could do for him
so he was left there, i personally was mildly indignant of having to be slowed by their commotion
walking away with a certain haughtiness, joining the crowd
i passed by a singing group singing loudly
they had set up a table aling the wall over the homeless man decaying into the pavement
i looked under the table
there was a four and a half year old girl in a pristine white dress lying on top of him, face up back arched to the extreme from what was under her
i approached the little girl, eyes staring, motionless to reach for her
to pull her out from there

but the crowd , the crowd sucks me away
remembering her pure white ruffled dress and her stare
and. the memory stays

GEISHA GIRL

All I can see is fading brake lights as I swerve throughout the cars  
It’s time for late night pleasure seeking in some seedy run down bars
Right now I am unchaperoned, but will commit before this night is through  
Thinking if I close my eyes real tight then I’ll be sleeping next to you  
It's only entertainment, as pretty girls lift up their skirts  
When she lays herself across me, I'm quite uneasy as she flirts  
It's just another pair of tits, these aren’t her lips, these aren't her thighs  
And I’m undoubtedly aware that for sure these aren't her eyes  
 
With a quick spark the fire starts and the smoke fills up the room  
Watching as her face turns now intriguing to gloom  
I know that using her, only makes it seem more crummy  
But I slowly kiss her neck and make my way down to her tummy  
I touch her very softly and she says, “You know just what to do…”  
But the night was closing in so, “It might as well be you…?”  
With pinned out eyes I wonder could you bring these tears to laughter?
Is this who I’ve become, is this really what I’m after?  
Emotional brick walls help me stay out of the light  
Sanity; a full time job but...
I’m done with this crude night
