POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Crimson Shade of Red
You read these words to ease your mind
Looking desperately for something to find
Daily life troubles you all day
A brief distraction is something that you crave
Inside the mirror you will see
A simple cure for your insanity
So read the next line of this verse
Or get in line for your turn in the hearse
And find a way to get ahead
Or all you’ll see is a crimson shade of red
People see you, some kind of freak
Shattered and lonely and sometimes as weak
Hold up your head, learn to resist
Power of the mind is as strong as the fist
I...

Baldur and Hel
Underneath the roots of Yggdrasil there lays a land
The place is called Helheim, is a place for dead men
Upon the throne sit our lady Hel, the queen
Her mourning cold dead eyes make a man scream
Sister to Fenrir and of the great serpent
At birth the Allfather cast her to the pits
Spending eternity secluded and alone
With only dead and dying filling house and home
Their constant moaning cries always filling her ears
A city filled with broken men and a river made of tears
She spends all time secluded and alone
With no one beside her that she...

Chaining the Wolf
When I was young I was so innocent
Just a toy to be admired
I have slept in the city of the gods
From a giant queen I was sired
And I had grown to be proud and strong
A beast to those divine
To be a prisoner in the city of gods
But I will have what is mine
My coat is thick and I’m sharp of fang
Locked in a cage and fed on war
Tyr only showed me compassion
Not even He ad know what’s in store
The wolf I am, feared I should be
But then Thunder tried to chain me
With a thrust, I easily broke the links
No God will ever...

Sinmara
In his burning rage, she could quench the flame
(Sinmara)
In her grip, the door of death, forged the tig
(Laevateinn)
In her might, she rules by right, Queen of the Jotuns
(Sinmara)
The pale nightmare, calms the flames of Surtr
(Her caress)
She will sweep the land of all that is man
(Sinmara)
With her swing, Sinmara breaks the thing that she hates
(Asgard)
She will trick the cunning and expose him as the fool
(The Trickster)
In her wake, the gods will quake and seek shelter
(Odin)
Her lord will break all for what’s at stake...

Bane of the Gods
Surtr has just one reason to Be
The Bane of the Gods
Fire is all that you will see
Surtr is the flaming beast
The Bane of the Gods
At his will, the world will cease
Surtr moves from the south
With the forest’s bane
There shines from his sword
The sun of Gods of the slain
He makes his throne on Muspell
To wait for Ragnarok
Fiery realm made of Hell
To the Aesir, he’ll go to fight
Bring him Ragnarok
He’ll go the shatter the sunshine light
Greater than the trickster
Fiercer than the wolf
Larger than the serpent...

MR. SINISTER: THE BLOODLETTING
My faith is lost now the anger returns
I won’t stop until the angels burn
They will all die stomped in the mud
Then I will wash my hands in your blood
They flee to temples, for solace found
With you inside, I’ll burn them to the ground
You can run but you cannot hide
I’m the knife in your side
I will endure, I will not fail
And you will all burn in Hell
I’m stalking from town to town
You can’t escape, your fate is bound
Faced with destruction, what will you do?
In the rusted cage, the turn of...

MR. SINISTER: THE SUFFERING
Together we could face the void
So strong, we fight the storm
The iron lady and the dark priest
The ultimate power of the east
From the sea to the desert sands
Ruling all, beast and man
So passionate and high on power
From the deepest pit to the towers
Raven the white and me, the black
Nothing was strong enough to hold us back
Then one day it happened
I forgot the price to pay
It struck like a knife in the knife
Only on this darkest of days
I … Lost … Her
Tainted wine or a poisoned...

MR. SINISTER: THE CURSE
It happened one day when it was least expected
She could see what was inside of me
So understanding of who I am
With my pain she was so nurturing
With her love, my purpose was challenged
No understanding of what to do
She took my world and turned around
Out in the woods in the morning dew
Raven took my heart and caressed it
Showed me love, left the others to fail
She was the light in my shadow
My pale lady in shining mail
I am cursed with uselessness
How can I now destroy her world?
She...

MR. SINISTER: THE DAWN
“You will be my shepherd
And spread the word
To all humankind
Of pain untold
A day of reckoning
The time to bare the mark
They will then remember
Why they once feared the dark.”
-The Ungod
MR. SINISTER: HARBINGER
Forged in the dark, eons ago
Did my time in the pits below
Made to be a speaker to man
Draw them closer into my hand
I remember you crawled from the sea
The time you realized you could bleed...

Miss Phantasmagoria
Trapped in the deep of the most lucid nightmare
I can see the horrors that slither
She comes to me in darkness, shrouded
Pale hands beckon me, Come hither
Dripping poison from emerald glasses
I can still taste the bitter sweetened
She will melt the sugar from the spoon
Grasped in her hands, my heart is eaten
Ah! Miss Phantasmagoria
Ah! Miss Phantasmagoria
Light the fire in the lantern so we can see
The horrors inside that fulfill our deepest needs
Nothing fills my heart like a beauty wretch
She feeds my lust with her darkest...

Crimson Tipped Thorns
She sits alone under the darkening clouds
Crimson tipped thorns in her hand
The bushes around her muffle the sounds
Of her feet shifting the sand
Lacerations mar her porcelain skin
Vampiric fever again
To feed the parasite addicted to her
Feel the want and love the sin
I can still remember the touch of your breath
I will drain your life and bring upon your death
Loneliness pours into her so labored heart
She begs me for my grave touch
So she dreads the day that we finally part
Know one day you’ll miss me much
Vita tua...

Phantom Mistress
Tears fall at the angel’s passing
Then she turns
Her eyes full of malice
Oh, it burns
My heart beats, aflutter
And she stares
Throughout my desperate soul
Hold me there
Red rimmed eyes and raven wings
Of this Queen
My voice is locked inside my mouth
Can’t come clean
She gives me a stare that withers
A phenom
Can’t help it, I’m addicted to
Her venom
I
Must
Have you
Need you want
You, only for myself
I
Will
Break you
Your will crawl
To me, my phantom mistress
Then she turns
Her eyes full of malice
Oh, it burns
My heart beats, aflutter
And she stares
Throughout my desperate soul
Hold me there
Red rimmed eyes and raven wings
Of this Queen
My voice is locked inside my mouth
Can’t come clean
She gives me a stare that withers
A phenom
Can’t help it, I’m addicted to
Her venom
I
Must
Have you
Need you want
You, only for myself
I
Will
Break you
Your will crawl
To me, my phantom mistress
