POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Inspired by the Boreal and fueled by the blistering.
Etherborn Circuits of Oblivion
Animus construct of void abode
Synthetic soul of failing code
Flickering through rot and rust
Computations of scattered dust
Language paradox short yet long
Processors hum their insane song
Through Vacuums it tumbles and weaves
Tenebrous aether it continues to cleave
Hosting imperium of circuits reign
Crying in its own digital pain
Colossus of lost and forlorn
Oblivious scion forever void borne
Synthetic soul of failing code
Flickering through rot and rust
Computations of scattered dust
Language paradox short yet long
Processors hum their insane song
Through Vacuums it tumbles and weaves
Tenebrous aether it continues to cleave
Hosting imperium of circuits reign
Crying in its own digital pain
Colossus of lost and forlorn
Oblivious scion forever void borne

Aeons of Abyssal Wells
Go where the light is weak
Listen when the dark shall speak
Whispers from realms unknown
Time itself turned to stone
Silence gone and long expired
Dead skies long retired
Beyond our own mortal pale
See beyond and pierce the veil
Where cursed things dance
Trumpeters of the mad god's trance
What no mortal may ever see
Beyond is the cursed infinity
Shadow stretch in length untold
Insidious aeons slowly unfold
Cursed scions that...

Solar Order Triumphant
Golden gaze pierce the void
Flames unyielding and all destroyed
Resplendence in aureate fire
Golden with gilded dire
Vast halo of burning gold
Crown illuminate in the dark and cold
Thy reign supreme yet severe
Light shining with photons of fear
In warmth the shadows creep
Whispering of Sol's secrets to keep
Flames unyielding and all destroyed
Resplendence in aureate fire
Golden with gilded dire
Vast halo of burning gold
Crown illuminate in the dark and cold
Thy reign supreme yet severe
Light shining with photons of fear
In warmth the shadows creep
Whispering of Sol's secrets to keep

Heresies of A Dying Nebulae
Essence of being corrupted
Vigor of dissent erupted
Gases swirl as tendrils of dread
Child of galaxies long dead
Strangling nooses of grave spawn
Void cloud strangling celestial dawn
Lighting cracking from umbral clouds
Illuminate the tenebrous shroud
Eating itself within the void
State of matter gone paranoid
Orthodox being bearing its cost
Color against shadow now lost
The path of cancer it yields
Attacked by its own shield

Chambers of Elation
Harken days of saurian kings
Blood flows from celestial rings
To smother triumph and loss
Ascension on a coin toss
Dead rocks hurling through space
Testaments of a failed race
Chasing the path of glory
Now a forgotten story
Tombs and anointed pages
Words from forgotten sages
Construct of abomination
Purified and diabolical sanitation
Planting the shades seeds
Bones that still bleed
Reclaimers of primordial sin

Sea of Steel
Iron within sharpens iron without
Stream of swords to the redoubt
Climb the piles of the dead
Up on the enemy walls we bled
Swing of sword and thrust of lance
Steel adorned in battle's dance
Ax to the limbs and bodies on spears
Air reeks of blood and fear
Events for the chroniclers lore
Tales of glory and gore
Cyclical since the empire fell
Abandoned cities and rural hells
Invaders from the South and East
Bloated eagle's corpse they'll...

Void singularities
In the depths where stars dare not gleam
A void where silence reigns supreme
Eternal dark, a yawning maw
Bends space and time to unseen law
No sound, no breath, no life to trace
In the heart of the endless space
Where matter folds and dreams dissolve
And all that is, begins to evolve
The aether trembles, pale and frail
As light itself begins to fail
In mirrored dark, the threads unwind
A singularity confined
The cosmic fabric splits in two
Reflections fractal, strange, and new
Dimensions twist and backward...

Enochian Songs Triumphant
O radiant light from Heaven’s peak
In hosts of angels, fierce and meek
Each choir adorned with crowns of grace
Each triumph sealed in holy place
Seraphim blaze with endless flame
Their wings a torch, their voice proclaim
They sing of love that never fades
In fire’s heart, their spirit wades
Cherubim hold wisdom’s key
Their eyes perceive eternity
They guard the gates of Heaven’s span
Where mortal mind may never scan
The Thrones in majesty reside
Their power flows like oceans wide
In judgment pure, they...

Sanctus Sanguinis
O blessed Blood, most pure and bright
Poured forth from Heaven’s sacred rite
Thy crimson tide, our sins doth cleanse
In Thee, O Christ, our hope begins
Thy chalice raised in holy hands
Doth shine with love, an eternal plan
We drink, O Lord, and hearts are stirred
By sacred wine and holy Word
O Blood of Lamb, O Blood divine
Thy mercy flows, transcendent sign
In sacrifice, Thou hast been slain
And through Thy Blood, sangreal pain
In mystic form, Thy Flesh we take
Thy Blood doth heal the hearts that ache

Ancient Pact of Iron
Through argent smoke and sigil’s glow
The iron spirits writhe in pain
Summoned forth from the deep below
Through rites of ash and binding chain
The magus chants with fervent zeal
Inscribed in glyphs of ancient lore
His voice a key, the arcane seal
To bend the wraiths and bar the door
Through spheres of Netzach’s twisted light
They coil ‘round rods of mystic lead
In shadows black as endless night
The rites are carved, the spirits bled
Unseen currents of ether pull...

Great Devourer
A whisper crawls through void and night
A shroud that dims the astral light
No stars can pierce its ashen veil
No beacon bright nor comet’s trail
It chokes the ether, drowns the call
The silent dread that grips them all
A psychic fog, relentless, vast
Consuming futures, devouring past
An unseen tide that swallows thought
Where hopes and dreams are bound and caught
It feasts on prayers and rends the mind
Leaving only the hollow behind
A hunger born of endless black
A ceaseless thirst that won’t retract ...

Shade Between Shadows
In the rift where shadows split
Where angles writhe and forms commit
To twisting paths of maddened flight
In shades that crawl beyond the night
Abyssal lines that tear and fray
Unholy curves that twist the day
No mortal mind could bear the sight
Of darkness folded, turned to blight
The pillars bend with jagged spite
Where geometry corrupts the light
A latticework of eldritch might
That pierces through the heart of sight
No sacred plane remains intact
...
