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
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
