Gifts Left Wasted
Gin soaked and parabolic
The moon by nature Divine
The hallowed husk of damnation's toil
What treachery befalls me?
Embryonic of a still born heart
The price of infamy untold
Better bartered for a gift of solace
And still the moon to smite my soul
The moon by nature Divine
The hallowed husk of damnation's toil
What treachery befalls me?
Embryonic of a still born heart
The price of infamy untold
Better bartered for a gift of solace
And still the moon to smite my soul

Between Two Giants The Artist Finds His Muse
The valley in-between
There lies a perfect corpse
Two giants intervene
In this painting out of sorts
The sky, saddened she rains
Tears of empathetic woe
Upon the granite pains
In the glen and dales below
She lay there still asleep
Under the giants futile gaze
In the mountains death does keep
Her torment and malaise
Darkness does take form
From his artist hand and bloom
The fury of her storm
Upon the brush and palette of doom
There lies a perfect corpse
Two giants intervene
In this painting out of sorts
The sky, saddened she rains
Tears of empathetic woe
Upon the granite pains
In the glen and dales below
She lay there still asleep
Under the giants futile gaze
In the mountains death does keep
Her torment and malaise
Darkness does take form
From his artist hand and bloom
The fury of her storm
Upon the brush and palette of doom

Floating Wonders
Have you ever heard such wonder?
A quartet of elephants atop a roving turtle
The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

The name of which is A-
Ahh...I forget

Memoirs
She had a long memory
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life

The Suffering Of Prometheus
Fire, begotten and adored
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might
A gift of giants better suited as gods
Alas, a few denied and abhorred
Against the will of better deities and bitter odds
Welcome forth the guiding light
Culture and society birthed from the flame
The truth buried and hidden out of plain sight
Though those sordid few still anguished by his name
Of wings and claws, bondage and hate
This bird of prey offers onto him his plight
Succumbed by his betrayal he suffers this fate
The propagation of kindoms on mountains of might

The Beauty of Divinity Abhored
From the point of envy to that of your death
A jealous God betrays your many divinations
Stray clouds to burden the otherwise pretty skies
A darkness of wrath and oblivion
Whispered under a foreign horizon
Too pretty
Too petty
A fermentation of grace besets the greater good
A sacrifice of pride and rue
Violence adorned the crown that made you
That wailing star that lit all your beauty aflame
Long since left to ash and cinders
A kiss to appease the sordid fallacies of those left ill tempered ...

He With Whom the Shadows Linger
A prophet of many sunsets
Great Old One of forgotten ages
He who speaks with an ancient tongue
Offerings onto him left wanting
Upon the obelisk of decaying stone
His name in runes beset the stars above
Forsaken constellations not glanced for eons
A tomb of knowledge lost to time and space
Death but a respite for toiling souls
As his presence beckons forth a long night
Calamity and suffering for those encroaching his holy door
The embodiment of shadow welcomes forth a dying sun
"All else lost in translation as the...

Beauty Led the Stars Astray
With the moon I do flee into an eclipse of souls enamored by your beauty
An orchestra of celestial bodies weave through the breach of my desires
As cumbersome as it may be I map the stars in their awing waltz
A vanguard upon the horizon harks forth with the beating of your heart
Gently drumming me into further madness as I fall prey to darker rhythms and hyms oft left better unheard
The embrace, the embrace, your embrace
It ends me
An orchestra of celestial bodies weave through the breach of my desires
As cumbersome as it may be I map the stars in their awing waltz
A vanguard upon the horizon harks forth with the beating of your heart
Gently drumming me into further madness as I fall prey to darker rhythms and hyms oft left better unheard
The embrace, the embrace, your embrace
It ends me

Beloved to Me ( Your Dearest Stalker)
Underbelly stitched, sutured by butchered hands
Ying and yang dance exhausted by chaos
Symbiotic by nature, longing to be
Your love symbolic, to me you belong
I will rupture your soul and keep it for me
No choice on your part
Your flesh warm or cold
Skin or bone
You will be by my side, forever and always
Always and forever you will be mine
Obsession drives me
Aroused by your beauty, aroused by all
Driven by nothing and everything you
Psychopathy burns red, when lust lights the match
The latter of which does not...

Tomorrow's Fetus
Tomorrow's fetus dies in the womb of todays dispair and in my rage I destroy yesterday
Life's neglect forcefeeds unkind thoughts down my throat yet still I starve and beg for more
This blade caresses my flesh,
the only contact that I long to feel so I kiss this blade and begin to mutilate
Like lambs to the slaughter so are my wrists a bitter sacrifice in which selfendulgance is my addiction
The blood flows like rivers
and flood this life with red pain, a colour so pure suicide could never whitewash away
Life's neglect forcefeeds unkind thoughts down my throat yet still I starve and beg for more
This blade caresses my flesh,
the only contact that I long to feel so I kiss this blade and begin to mutilate
Like lambs to the slaughter so are my wrists a bitter sacrifice in which selfendulgance is my addiction
The blood flows like rivers
and flood this life with red pain, a colour so pure suicide could never whitewash away
