A SONNET FOR LILITH
Tonight the forlorn raven sang
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...

VESPERTINE VALENTINE
Face down, I cradle her memory
To my heart in this temple of woe
This Vesper mine, my valentine
To the symphony of mourning crows
On sad and crumbling graveyard crosses
This concubine, my valentine
Count with me our heavy losses
Do you remember - dismembered
Those nights of October dead
Adorned in habiliments of the damned
At a time when dawn and dusk are wed
Love me with torment - Our culture
Eternal overture
Worshipped in entwining caskets
Sacrificed in ways vile and drastic
Beware the...

WORST OF ME
In place of existence
Is only nothingness
My utmost persistence
Leads to maggots' caress
We are fuel for the carrion
Gnawing, ravenous, on our bones
Eternal darkness behind dead eyes
Where the worst of us go to die
Gone are - GONE ARE - those final days of patience
Face to - FACE TO - face with the one who gave a shit
But he lays dead inside his sarcophagus
I've become - BECOME - a relic of eons past
Because within myself
I sense the worst of humanity
Because my fractured mind can't grasp the truth ...
Is only nothingness
My utmost persistence
Leads to maggots' caress
We are fuel for the carrion
Gnawing, ravenous, on our bones
Eternal darkness behind dead eyes
Where the worst of us go to die
Gone are - GONE ARE - those final days of patience
Face to - FACE TO - face with the one who gave a shit
But he lays dead inside his sarcophagus
I've become - BECOME - a relic of eons past
Because within myself
I sense the worst of humanity
Because my fractured mind can't grasp the truth ...

SIC WORDS
There is a monster in the mirror
And that monster looks just like me - LIKE ME
From the slaughterhouse to blood drenched rivers
Find me at the crux of chaos
I penned this cursed rhyme
For the sick and dying
I'm sick - SIC - of hearing your words
So I'll regurgitate and DESECRATE
Until they are MY SIC WORDS
I'm sick - SIC - I will eat your god
And I'll regurgitate and DESECRATE
Until I become YOUR SIC GOD
You will believe in the moment
And the moment has come at last - AT LAST
From the fallen temple of...
And that monster looks just like me - LIKE ME

You will believe in the moment

FRAILTY
All the secrets laid bare
For all to lay to waste
Judge us not lest you be judged
When you stand at your grave
Piece by piece, trail by fire
Locked in a battle of wills
With myself by myself
But broken hearts beating still
Taste your tears as they turn to stone
As we gather in this garden of death
Cast another page unto the bones
As the storm drowns all the flames we wept
Stare into the mirror
The heart of the abyss
Is reflected in your eyes
Decayed where lovers kiss
A piece of peace...
For all to lay to waste
Judge us not lest you be judged
When you stand at your grave
Piece by piece, trail by fire
Locked in a battle of wills
With myself by myself
But broken hearts beating still
Taste your tears as they turn to stone
As we gather in this garden of death
Cast another page unto the bones
As the storm drowns all the flames we wept
Stare into the mirror
The heart of the abyss
Is reflected in your eyes
Decayed where lovers kiss
A piece of peace...

DON'T PRAY FOR PREY
Awash in the tears of Persephone's grief
And gorging on the bones of Lucifer's feast
Cradle your pain embraced to your breasts
Coupled with the laments in the raven's nest
Don't pray
For prey
There is a rope in the closet
A written letter on the desk
Will someone ever discover
The body hanging in the dark?
You're dying to know if love is real
Or is it a collection of pills and scars
Abashed your child offers their blood
To appease your ghost devoid of stars
DON'T PRAY
FOR PREY
A sanguine sun...
And gorging on the bones of Lucifer's feast
Cradle your pain embraced to your breasts
Coupled with the laments in the raven's nest
Don't pray

There is a rope in the closet
A written letter on the desk

The body hanging in the dark?
You're dying to know if love is real
Or is it a collection of pills and scars
Abashed your child offers their blood
To appease your ghost devoid of stars
DON'T PRAY
FOR PREY
A sanguine sun...

THE ALMOST
There's a demon lurking in the dark
In the machine inside your heart
Beating to the rhythm of warfare
Take a look within if you dare
I'm a parasite
In your paradigm
SCREAM for my freedom
Rise the parasite
In your paradise
Charnel house kingDOM
I am the Almost
Given up the ghost
I signed a deal like Faust
With every scratch of the quill
I'm bleeding like you
I am the Almost
I could be human
Becoming a king of ruin
With every drop of blood
I'm becoming like you

BETWIXT FIRST LIGHT AND COMING DUSK
The storm it lashed upon her brow
let go let go
As lightning lit upon his frown
A curse laid upon her finger
dark skies dark skies
As the thunder sang upon her
Hush now my Love my love
Is deeper than the great black sea
Angel fallen my Love
Time to lay your head down and sleep
Nightmares waiting weighing
Suffering is so sweet my dear
No sleep my Love my King
Without you I drown in my tears
Grinding poison in the mortar
hemlock hemlock
Pestle coated in blood and ordure
Soon you'll sleep...
let go let go

CONFESSION OF A MADMAN
Down in the dark a creature was born
To kill again and again
It is me, is it you in the storm
Raging on the shores of the damned?
A putrid stench fucking sickening
From the vain clutches of God
Damning me, damning you goddamn it
I AM AWASH IN YOUR B L O O D
i See smiling faces all around me
ENTOMBED in jars of piss and gore
The devil has come to collect
THIS IS A CONFESSION OF A MADMAN
YOU CANNOT KILL ME
IF I AM DEAD IN YOUR EYES
MY FATE WON'T LET ME DIE
Good riddance to the trash
That...
To kill again and again
It is me, is it you in the storm
Raging on the shores of the damned?

i See smiling faces all around me
ENTOMBED in jars of piss and gore
