POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Keep calm and write on. Yes that'll do for now.
My Inferno
I immolate in my holy fire.
I cry on the pyre
where I will breathe
my last breath
on the breeze,
frozen in the heat.
I lie motionless
and watch the flame
as it undulates.
My fate sealed,
my hate steeled.
My heart
no longer beats,
and my flesh burns
in the scintillating heat.
Raining embers
have left their impression
on my bones.
They've taken their toll
outside of my control.
I'm sick, I can't eat,
I'm incomplete.
All my dreams
and romantic things ...
I cry on the pyre
where I will breathe
my last breath
on the breeze,
frozen in the heat.
I lie motionless
and watch the flame
as it undulates.
My fate sealed,
my hate steeled.
My heart
no longer beats,
and my flesh burns
in the scintillating heat.
Raining embers
have left their impression
on my bones.
They've taken their toll
outside of my control.
I'm sick, I can't eat,
I'm incomplete.
All my dreams
and romantic things ...

Incantation
A dash of newted-eye
and you begin to cry.
Your spine does shiver
as I take a sliver.
A touch of mandrake root.
Do not become mute.
As this anguish is delivered
my shriek has your soul shivered.
and you begin to cry.
Your spine does shiver
as I take a sliver.
A touch of mandrake root.
Do not become mute.
As this anguish is delivered
my shriek has your soul shivered.

Broken Oracle
I feast upon your lines,
like wine extracted
from the bitter fruit of lies
I write you in
my book of lamentations,
how I hate them
Scratching words into the paper
Serifs crucifying seraphs,
How I make them
Dreams metamorphose
into nightmares, all fear
The matchstrike slaughterhouse
Take me to the pyre, into the fire
where I shall bake
Burn me away, facade unmade
Cinders my soul comprised of,
lingers like a stain and I become pain,
only bones remain
You shall rue the...

Anti-Treasure
Here I stand,
at your world's end
Soothsayer,
With your dark heart,
fall into my black death
Covalent calypso thunder kiss,
catalyst of the prophecy
Hold your tongue now
and fade into my frozen smile
Sunshine rendered ineffective
in the face of this wicked frost
Diamond dust refracted
in moonlight rays and halos
Against the night,
circumpolar
Falling on my blue lips,
sparkling in glacial iris
Inkblot pupils rise and recede
Full stop, in tide, gaze...

Black Hole Burning
I write, reflecting on my deepest ache
Reflecting into you
-infinity reflection
As I walk into the woods, I find my pool of leaves
Maple reds, like I bleed
-and weep, and weep
Valediction in repose, the soft crunch of leaf crumble
Delicate, I crackle and shatter
-among their leaf corpses
My mouth opens wide, a black hole of endless keening
Harpy screams as my jaw detaches
-forever slack and open
The black threatens inverse, to flood out, rather than pull in
Turn the world with...
