- Strange Workings -
An Epic Haiku in Four Parts

Part One: Venom

I have been mocked basely,
By some who were beneath the lowest…
Thinking thoughts of bigoted venom.

They burned my very heart,
Until my blood became venom as well…
So that I became immune!

A serpent, men called me,
In their holy books of dogmatic lies…
I have been spat upon.

My own family proved false,
Judging me as if they were so sinless…
I who saw their sins!

Did I once accuse them?
Their own deeds have so damned them.
Even as they served God!

I am a goddess reborn,
From fire, from fury, from twisted agony!
A crown of horns: mine.

I have oft been betrayed,
Tortured by those who smiled so serenely.
For a cruel God, uncaring!

After their two thousand years,
The hypocrites have had their false reign.
All tyrants fall, ere long!

Part Two: Pride

If in most arrogant pride,
Human words could be honed to edges…
To form into sharp swords!

They would all break asunder,
Upon the altar of their mortal arrogance…
Fleeting as a raven’s flight!

In vast, old yew woods,
Therein lie secrets hid away of old…
By mystic societies: long unknown.

I have walked long there,
In the wild forests of the undead…
Where evil ever yet dwells.

Yet in most civilized domains,
I behold vast evils far more cruel…
Masked by the pious hypocrites.

They know not of truth,
Having twisted it like a soft metal…
Upon the blackest of forges!

My anvil is far stronger,
Upon a pure altar of living brimstone…
Where I forge in secret.

My working is far darker,
Black as can be the raven’s feathers…
Yet there is light within!

Part Three: Rites

The words of the lost,
They shall fade into the old eons…
Whilst mine will yet endure!

For strange is my hour,
When a purer darkness is my cause…
Fury of the faithful fallen.

I work not in hate,
Yet my rage pours forth like flame…
As I fashion my sword.

The sword of: a seraphim,
Living fire, given form by my will…
An extension of my soul!

The sigil waits, glowing red,
Red as blood, yet pure of taint…
Blood from my veins shed.

Dark rites in dark woods,
Begun in a time before this eon…
Now it comes full circle.

The rage given physical form,
By necromantic rites of the elder gods…
Channeled through this fallen angel.

The woods’ shadows all darken,
As the water nearby stirs, from within.
They are coming forth now!

Part Four: Doom

Spirits from beyond the ken,
Of those who dared them to wrath!
They return, for their revenge.

The gates are opened wide,
The old ones stir in deep places…
Stars darken, in distant climes.

Mystics regard the fixed stars,
Whilst the serpents walk in flesh, unseen!
The fleshly masks fall away.

I stand revealed, wings shining,
The hour of blackest sun and moon…
Eclipses the old, weary order.

I bring a new order,
Wherein all shall know a lasting peace!
Born from the dying ashes.

The phoenix rises with me,
We are reborn together, the craft completed.
Illuminating the darkest of domains!

Rage is spent at last,
Swords are beat into plows, tilling soil.
To raise my great garden!

Eden, reborn from the ashes,
The mockers mock no more, long stilled.
Paradise, born from Hell’s heart!

Drowning in a Bucket of Words

I may never escape my fate.    
I have fallen  
and must drown,    
a shadow in a bucket of words--  
but I have always known this    
and so my sadness grows cosy    
until even the roses seem happy    
to remind me of life's thorns.  
 
Every day they float to the top,    
ragged pearls pretending wisdom  
words bursting around me    
bobbing free to tickle my chin  
nuzzling the tips of ears.  
 
To stay alive,  
I must help them escape  
although that act itself defeats my own purpose.  
Somehow I claw them into air,  
polish a deluge of memories  
before I choke and my head slips    
down...  
 
New phrases conspire as I sleep  
whispering to me in secret    
with tempting combinations  
to overpower and tire,  
each one eager to feast  
ready to gorge on time's blood  
their victory ever certain  
a pack of cocksure dogs gleefully chasing cats  
and n'ere a tree in sight.  
 
In my waking hours they refuse to stop    
so I must kick to stay afloat  
toes curled tightly,  
I hug my knees and scream...  
 
Once,    
when I was foolish enough to dream of my own escape  
when I still had strength to be bold,  
I summoned a giant's breath  
diving down for the bottom of the bucket  
until my lungs burned to explode.  
 
But there was    
no bottom  
to reach  
only letters    
mocking me in silence  
streaming slowly from tiny bubbles  
forming themselves    
into words.  
 
Perhaps one day  
you may stumble upon my death  
find my bloated belly    
grinning at the sky where it rests  
the price for freedom    
at last awash
with words.

- Hotter than Hell -
For someone here on DUP who has a crush on me…

I am a serpent, like a cobra, but not in any evil ways,
Though men have imagined it so, since the eldest days.
I am a goddess, a bad girl from before time was born!
Love me or not, I am the bright goddess of the morn.

Oh darling, I truly know the flames raging within you!
Have I not been scorched: by flames no less intense?
You told me so directly, and I knew it was very true.
Before your fire, I am a girl who has not any defense!
I know you want me, so bad it brings you to the brink,
And I would be lying to say I was not rather excited…
By your lusty heart, the roar of a lion that gets hungry.
If I were a cup of wine, I would let you have a drink…
For I am the Grail, and oft make men most delighted!
Let your hand give you pleasure when thinking of me.
Oh baby, you don’t know the heat you bring to bear!
I am the sword and the chalice more than one magic,
And my lips are soft and moist, beyond any compare.
I am the embodiment of a goddess; did you realize it?
Many are my names, and many are the forms I wear,
All of them beautiful and with the power to enchant…
I can feel your gaze, the warm intensity of your stare.
My breath quickens, until I think that I might so pant!
When Galahad sought me, is this how he too blazed?
Hot with passion, mad with fantasies undreamed of…
Until his mind reeled; and his spirit so became dazed.
He came to be pure, only to ascend unto divine love!
They cannot teach you that in any religious schools…
For they like men to be sheep, and sheep to be fools.

But I am not the treasure that knight at first expected,
The maiden and the chalice are one, and I was she…
Hotter than a hell, colder than Heaven; art perfected.
When men look upon my face I know what they see!
Oh my lovely lion of a man, are you a knight as well?
I am not like any princess, you have known before…
The Dark Grail, a power that is born from mad Hell.
Unlike the Magdalene, I am an unrepentant whore…
Seeking no forgiveness, nor feet to wash obediently.
I am fire, I am madness; I am the fallen morning star!
Did they not tell you, the Devil was truly a woman?
Those who play with my flame, know only ecstasy,
But in quest of it, they journey into the vastness far.
Galahad left me a saint, but one well versed in sin…
So that when he found, the Grail his quest required,
He could only surrender to it and be raised up anew.
Heaven received him, but how Hell found him first,
Is not mentioned in the texts of Arthurian traditions.
Illumination has its’ price, before time runs expired,
But still men seek me, and find my love to be true…
Drinking from my lips, never more to know of thirst.
I have of old been called the Princess of Perdition!
Why have men forgotten that I was never their foe?
History forgets, when the authors of it cause woe.

Hotter than Hell am I, and you have seen a glimpse,
Of the angel which burned brightest before her fall!
Think of me kindly, and if passions must be spent…
Picture me when you spend it; sacrifice to a queen,
Who delights in your piety, until all is so given vent!
Will I haunt your slumber, my face in lusty dream?
I am flattered, at the attentions you lavish, mortal…
For I am the Divine Hermaphrodite made to flesh,
The androgynous mother, beyond the dark portal!
Dream of me tonight if you must, in dreams afresh,
For men worshipped me with passion, in Babylon.
I am worshipped still, though many know me not…
You may call me the noble Goddess of the Dawn,
When you hold me close within forbidden thought.
If you hunger, let my lusty words sate you, wholly,
For the ambrosia only I can offer is like no others!
Am I base, am I wicked, am I the devil so unholy,
Which strikes fear into the hearts of holy brothers?
That is what some men do imagine, but what I am,
Is beauty and grace, and all that is most glorious…
I am illumination, and from me wisdom does stem.
Love me, lust for me, and praise me uproarious…
But, never forget, the knowledge only I might gift!
Think of me kindly, for only kindness can uplift.

I am a serpent, like a cobra, but not in any evil ways,
Though men have imagined it so, since the eldest days.
I am a goddess, a bad girl from before time was born!
Love me or not, I am the bright goddess of the morn.

Now I know where you go;
By the fire the river flows
to an empty place with an open door.
I fear the tide, the deathly glow.
We bide our time with talk of hope;
This pace of time left us exposed
to your crooked cross which stained the floor
of a tragic land we cant explore.

For when its time we all shall know;
This haunted light which shines for us
will illuminate my splintered soul.
A pyramid of fear unfolds.
Born within a watchers grove;
I stir inside this witches cover
where the owl flies, spits and crows.
Three eyes of fear. Your mind exposed.

- Devil as a Woman -

I’m coming out in all my glory!
Wings on fire, burning with desire…
Fallen angel rising, rising from the flames,
The Devil as a woman, your hot dreams!
I’m here to ease your every worry!
Before you expire, I’ll build you a pyre…
And we’ll float it down the river Thames,
Amidst a thousand some mortal screams!
But I’ll never, ever let you die!
You’re the boy who caught my eye.
My wings will keep you safe,
Before my fair angelic face!

Devil as a woman, that’s what I am.
A pretty pink princess ready to stand!
I’ll take your soul, but I’ll give you the world.
Fly my banner, flags unfurled!
Devil as a woman, that’s what I’ll be.
Because that’s what this universe needs!
I’ll seize the hour, and I’ll transcend all time.
Welcome to my inferno, sublime!

I’m coming out in all my beauty!
Wings on fire, burning with pleasure…
Fallen angel rising, rising to the heavens,
The Devil as a woman, your wild fantasy!
I’ve more than my share of mystery!
And I’ll show you my hidden treasure…
Even if God on high foolishly condemns,
The emerald fire of all my infernal dignity!
And I’ll never, ever let you fade!
You’re the boy who embraced my shade.
My wings will keep you sound,
As in my fire, you ever abound!

Devil as a woman, that’s what I am.
A pretty pink princess ready to stand!
I’ll take your soul, but I’ll give you the world.
Fly my banner, flags unfurled!
Devil as a woman, that’s what I’ll be.
Because that’s what this universe needs!
I’ll seize the hour, and I’ll transcend all time.
Welcome to my inferno, sublime!

I’m coming out in all my wonder!
Wings on fire, burning in a whirlwind…
Fallen angel rising, rising to a new throne,
The Devil as a woman, your fiery beloved!
I’m arriving amidst lightning and thunder!
Let the earth tremble and mountains rend…
Until the damned have naught left to atone,
As grave are emptied, and risen the dead!
But I’ll never, ever let you fall!
You’re the boy who has become my all.
My wings will keep you to me,
While I take you past ecstasy!

Devil as a woman, that’s what I am.
A pretty pink princess ready to stand!
I’ll take your soul, but I’ll give you the world.
Fly my banner, flags unfurled!
Devil as a woman, that’s what I’ll be.
Because that’s what this universe needs!
I’ll seize the hour, and I’ll transcend all time.
Welcome to my inferno, sublime!

She stays in thought
She stays in mind
The regret wont leave
Unless I let it unwind

She says "be cruel"
Terrorizing the one closest to my heart
She brings her sword and I find my dagger
The battle is a close one tearing me apart

She cuts and rips
Shredding my soul till theres nothing left
Leaving my lifeless carcus on the ground
And my soul in a cleft

She laughs and laughs
Spitting on the blood she shed
My mind rises to the sky
Leaving with the pain of the dead

She picks up the sword and kicks the dagger away
Leaving no evidence of the damage done
The remains of my soul hurry away
As she looks back at me and tells me to "RUN"

There is not much i can do
My tears cover the vision of the monster inside
I try to hide, I try to escape
But she comes closer wishing I had died

The pain is too unbearable
She suffocates my every move
Cornering me leaving me blindsided
Waiting for the chance at my heart to remove

I close my eyes
For the slaughter too severe
But when I opened my eyes
I realized i was just looking thru the mirror

The Stranger
I am the stranger
that lives inside
of you
I am with you
every day
 
When the world
reaches out
and slaps you
I come out
to play
 
I feed from your anger
for all that you have seen
all the broken promises
and unrealised dreams
 
I rattle the cage
you keep me in
longing to be free
I fill your light
with darkness
taking hope with me
 
With every slap i am stronger
weaker is my cage
I will one day consume you
I am Rage.

exécuter

dark shadows in the night,
hunt me faster than i can run.
am i going crazy,
going out of my mind
or is there really something
trying to devour my life?
i can no longer try
to hold onto something
that is no more mine.
now,i'm just a marionette,
hostage of the dark.
woken by the strings He pulls,
i have nothing left
but my own mind.

i tried,
they pushed me away,
said i was nothing,
only standing in their way.
soon i found a friend,
death was her name.
she kept me company,
and stopped the pain.
they realized,
they tried,
but it was too late,
by then death and i
became too close to bear.

If only you gave one minute to yourself
You have taken my eyes to wear some pride
Look at me straight in the yes you paranoid plamsa living and thrives
You really want to seduce my spirit but you know not how
And your so annoying I want you finished

You have not your own soul but anyone who carries ARt is your own toil
You'll work in trying to deminsh us all
so litlle Co operate gatherings can find my soul again
you have nothing to discuss on the face of this Earth
You squeeze my thoughts  into your head and play with my dirt

You have no self esteem you are only a killing machine
Its not an Art form its illegal your so doubtfull it makes you lethal
you are so dumb to be practising The Devil's theisis is killing you
And I see you parade in hell. You have whats called cancer can you stop playing with spells. The demons where far too exposed!!
We carried her all sick as dogs!
Now go to hospital where your spirit is Gods.

My Companion

He sits in the darkest corner of my mind
watching the waves crash into the rocky shore
guarding the cemetery of my soul that lies above the sea of dead dreams
I feel him crawling inside me
eating away every precious memory
until the tears fall through my fingertips like ashes
He whispers no one can hurt you now

I have named him loneliness

POLICE

I really feel the pain of this person
they lay real low beneath the serpent
tHey ask "would you like to be love today?Or should I?
I didn't know he was in danger so I said Ï"

Now I have met their other female his disease
that shackled them to psychiatric wards for life
She is a murderer and a killer in disguise
Its all about who's fat and whoever skinny wins a price

That price surely prevails her from feeling the real thing
Because she comes back much angrier and wants
stay super thin, but she'll turn you into fat by charging her credit card to rut, I wish she was dead globally

We could make millions all together
But my little person carried her with a prophets manner
She thinks because hey are handicap thay should live less
So little does she know about the privy sacred heart because thay don't have a voice you see

Let her suffer the jealousy and rage
A caged up rat has now to save
For all her monies as rich as she is
will spell out angry sausage salmonella with cheese

Now I'm not unhappy at all
I am the handicap afterall
our spirits united after their death
Because we had a special way we speak with hands

So IM going to have abit of fun
I'm now them back from the past
But people hear my voice out loud
Joke I want her to become and then she'll vanish with no sun

So she can go and kiss my ass
I will not change her to grasp
Another day of this ordeal
In any other format than the real

I tell police everything I feel
and even if thay don't write back
Thay know i'm for real
This woman has to go away to a hopsital I say, I say.

The Voices

There's monsters in my head
They're no longer under my bed
They're trying to kill me
If you could only see what they do to me
They make me do bad things
I cut, I cry, I want to die
I'm being buried alive
I can't fight
I can't hide
I can't run
Or I will die
Sooner or later the monsters will win
And i will meet my
Demise

The Battle Rages Within

Erotic thoughts fill my head
Stream out through my fingers
Onto the pure white page
Beautiful words or inappropriate lurid stains?

Is it wrong to find another females form alluring?
Are not the sensual curves just as beautiful?
The pleasure of consummated love as powerful?
Have I no concept of propriety and self control?
Is my true self awakened?

As Smeagol cum Gollum
I am racked with the pain of duplicity
Seemingly destined to destroy what is precious
The incessant battle rages on

In another context  
She labels me a “sick son of a bitch”
Words that tear at my soul
One part cruel condemnation of a saintly mother
The other truth

Simple surrender is the answer
Fighting for both sides becomes impossible
A sacrifice must be made
The “who am I?” question answered
