POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
PURVEYORS OF CATACLYSMIC FLAME
The darkness stretched forward across thickening skies
Heavy with frozen laments when weeping Olympians kissed
Vanishing with banishing ravaging wings
In necrotic rhymes during Orpheus' apocalypse
We, the tragic engineers of our own demise
The instrument of eternal destruction and blasphemy
Sacrifice the sacrament paradise advocates
To Luciferian rule designed for godless purity
Progenies of Armageddon reign
In blood lapped from lacerated heavens
Purveyors of cataclysmic flame

DEMENTIA, THY MISTRESS NOCTURNAL
Denied, the mournful raven cried with blasphemy
On the cairn beneath which my remains awake
Raped of faith the wake of wraiths
Silently echo 'neath the stake
Impaling withered hearts
On the altar of ache
I pen poisoned poetry
Upon dead lover's tombstones
Snake 'round graves left stained so vain
With the likeness of queens of pain
Plucking heartstrings just like
A composer insane
in guise of manticore
drowning faithless spirits
the needle of the thorn
an immoral caress

DARKLY
Darkly, my remains bared with scars
Like tattoos from a poisoned pen
These veins can't take much more of you
My vision goes with fading stars
I wash you down with Absinthe
To have you inside of me
Lose myself in the labyrinth
Falling in the frigid rain
Lingering like the black plague
And still I must pine
For my sweet Cyanide
I'm snared, a moth to the flame
Laying inside my own grave
And still I must pine
For my sweet Cyanide
Darkly, my remains bear the storm
Like a funeral deep within

THE ONES WHO WENT BEFORE
I'm reaching out to you
From beyond the veil
I can't let you go
The ones who went before
In a pit of despair
Is it better there
On the other side
The ones who went before?
If you could see me now
The ones who went before
Your head would shake with shame
The ones who went before
You have forsaken me
The ones who went before
Carry your legacy
The one you left behind
The dawn is dismantled
By the dusk of you
Like grasping the smoke
The ones who went before
The more pictures...

Your head would shake with shame
The ones who went before
You have forsaken me
The ones who went before
Carry your legacy
The one you left behind
The dawn is dismantled
By the dusk of you
Like grasping the smoke
The ones who went before
The more pictures...

WHITE NOISE
Our bodies have long since passed away
To explore the vast reaches of beyond
But we see you standing at our graves
And long for you to hear our haunted songs
White noise - voices of the dead
White noise - all the things unsaid
When all seems lost ring the ghost bell
And stir the echoes in ashes and dust
We will find you from Heaven or Hell
In forgotten gardens of stone and rust
We haunt you in your memories
Remember the good and bad
And light a candle for us
So we won't fade away forever
White noise...

Angel fallen to earth
Exposed and gutted like a pig
The stench of offal everywhere
Demon rising with suns
Idol of icons sacrifice

GRAVE ECHOES
DRAG ME
Down into your black pit of snakes
Feel so down in the hours awake
Kill me again so you'll feel alive
The dawn's darkest when we all die
in my hours of shame
i am lost to the game
and it all stays the same
I can not sleep in the silence
Echoes in absence of violence
Celluloid dreams of camphor and flame
Let me rise from the empty grave
tapping an empty vein
love of a welcome pain
cutting against the grain
NOTHING
Is ever what it fucking seems
But...

ALL HALLOW'S EVE
I see them grinning
Flame of Jack’s warning
Flickers in the night
Masques of purveyors
Of ghostly delights
Hide away from sight
The eyes of monsters
Watch from the shadows
Of the inbetween
The smell of sweet death
On their bated breath
This All Hallow’s Eve
those empty tombs
the coming doom
so speak your tales
of haunted hells
and creaking stairs
beneath the moon
if you dare
It comes to an end
Another year still ...

DENIZENS OF HELL
The moon rises as the spirits stir
And the devil comes out to play
So fucking sweet he’ll rot your teeth
Ghouls shall walk with one foot from the grave
Will you kill
For the thrill
Betwixt the sheets
This Hallow’s Eve?
Reach forth from the veil
Denizens of Hell
WHAT WILL WE DO IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH
Underneath the spell?
Drape my flesh
Thus my wish
Across my ghast
Within your grasp
Come forth to me as we spill the blood
I am betwitched by your devilry
So fucking dark with hellbound...

THE O.G. O.D.
I am your drug of choice
Demented lines of cocaine
Laid out for your pleasure
To make get your high and insane
Your world's burning, it's turning
It's treacherous knives on you
When you're yearning and during
The darkest hours so true
I AM YOUR GREAT WHITE DEVIL
THE O.G. O.D.
I'll bring you low to lift you up
To drink from my poisoned cup
And when you come back down - DOWN
You'll come back and pay twice or more
I cast no reflection
Addicted to your demon
As I embalm your mind
And watch...
