Forest Sanctum
The death of Summer
Brings about new life
The vibrant colors of Autumn
Restore my mental clarity
In this otherwise grey existence.
Fingertips gently trailing in the water
Laying near the picturesque pond
Listening to the birds call.
Hearken to Autumn's sweet voice
Discern her beauty from the darkness
Of Winter.
The leaves rustling in the wind
Dying
Not living to see another day.
This is my sanctum.
The equinox approaches
So does Death.
The red of my blood ...
Brings about new life
The vibrant colors of Autumn
Restore my mental clarity
In this otherwise grey existence.
Fingertips gently trailing in the water
Laying near the picturesque pond
Listening to the birds call.
Hearken to Autumn's sweet voice
Discern her beauty from the darkness
Of Winter.
The leaves rustling in the wind
Dying
Not living to see another day.
This is my sanctum.
The equinox approaches
So does Death.
The red of my blood ...

Bloodletter
Bathing with a sponge in the blood of your brothers
Taking comfort in the pillow with the bones of your mother
Can the darkness or the madness of my wishes disappear?
Yes, I was seen, but I was a child to hear.
I had a soul, before he ripped it through my eyes
CPS saw all the marks, yet I'm the one who lies.
It's funny though, isn't it?
I'm not permitted to die
It's literally illegal for me to peacefully subside
I'm a time bomb, holding back for as long as i possibly can.
Woe betide the assholes: You should join the ones who ran.
Taking comfort in the pillow with the bones of your mother
Can the darkness or the madness of my wishes disappear?
Yes, I was seen, but I was a child to hear.
I had a soul, before he ripped it through my eyes
CPS saw all the marks, yet I'm the one who lies.
It's funny though, isn't it?

Eclipse
A spark of electricity
Between us
Overwhelming the senses
Intertwined in a passionate embrace.
This is the dream.
This is the desire.
We see Fate's intention
Detrimental to us
Beneficial to all
We are the precipice of survival
You, the sun
I, the moon
Separated forevermore
But just once
Once in a thousand years
The yearning for connection ceases
A joining of such primal lust
And longing
Sated but for a moment
As our lonely souls sing sweet pain.
Yet the bitterness is back
No.
This...

Mother Mag
There once lived a woman
In an opulent estate
No amount of wealth
Could spare her this fate
Her name was Mag
She bore a beautiful daughter
Nothing could prepare them
For this unsightly slaughter
They spent their young lives
Creating potions and powders
The alchemical machines could
Not have been any louder
Healers by trade and
Mystics by night
I can still see the way their brooms
Rose with the night
For they were...

Malice, At Last
Dark Embrace
Poise and grace
I hide my cuts
With cotton and lace.
Dead, I'm in trouble
Playing the double
I shall rebuild my crown
And kingdom from rubble!
Judgement presides
The law abides
The High Court says
No taking sides!
I am dead
As the Red Queen said,
She stole my throne
Off with her head!
Guileless wraith
Losing my faith
Darkness consumes
Nothing she saith
Descend to the fire
Trapped in the mire
Alone when we know
The situation is dire. ...

Perpetual Agony
The point of your sword
Rests gently against the hollow base
Of my throat
After an eternity of quarrel and defeat
Domination and submission
Sex and brutality
The cycle is everlasting
Yet somehow you have managed
To discover the heinous act
Of destroying your greatest friend
Your faithful lover
Your compassionate kin
Your worst enemy;
We have gone through all that we did
For a sadistic victory;
One that was never fought for, or won;
But stolen
You cheated Fate...

They Called It Rapture
A family memory caressed in my hand
A horrible explosion miles above land
Water-filled lungs and falling debris
The ocean's on fire and I have to flee
Speeding for my life to the tower on the right
Turn back now, I think with all of my might
My body betrays me,and I can't think about why
The bathysphere lowers, and I know I will die
A self-absorbed tyrant appears on the screen
With tales of our greatness, and what we could be
An enterprise so great we could do nothing but thrive
An underwater derelict; how could anyone...
A horrible explosion miles above land

The ocean's on fire and I have to flee
Speeding for my life to the tower on the right
Turn back now, I think with all of my might
My body betrays me,and I can't think about why
The bathysphere lowers, and I know I will die
A self-absorbed tyrant appears on the screen

The Mental Bride
Blue grows the tulip
White grows the Rose
I am writing a letter
To whom no one knows
Light falls the feather
Bright grows the fire
The irony of love
I will never tire
Green grows the grass
Heavy is the dew
All of this beauty
Is in tribute to you
A child to a mother
A moth to a flame
As timeless as tears
I will never be the same
A minute to an hour
A day to a year
A dark spirit’s voice
Is the only one I hear
Soft moonbeams
And silvery...
White grows the Rose
I am writing a letter
To whom no one knows
Light falls the feather
Bright grows the fire
The irony of love
I will never tire
Green grows the grass
Heavy is the dew
All of this beauty
Is in tribute to you
A child to a mother
A moth to a flame
As timeless as tears
I will never be the same
A minute to an hour
A day to a year
A dark spirit’s voice
Is the only one I hear
Soft moonbeams
And silvery...
