POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Upon the mountain. Act I
(Tugging)
The comfort of being coddled here in this dark void,
this rift where I am but flotsam adrift,
It's tempting to release the buoy that is securing me to the surface
and allow myself to be swallowed down the maw.
But, I feel this persistent pull,
I'm being drawn in.
Oh, what wretched clamor doth bleed through
to my embryonic refuge,
Pummeling its way into the aching crevices?
Suddenly, violently, my eyelids burst open.
It all returns to me,
Every treacherous detail,
Every triumphant war cry.
Har Megiddo.
Baking...

The Treble Six
Revolt.
Assemble the masses.
Storm the gates.
Kill your masters.
Regurgitate.
Deny the delusion
to liberate
your life of illusion.
Infiltrate.
Plant the infection
to exterminate
this state of dejection.
Assassinate.
Destroy the disease
and obliterate
their corrupt decrees.
Incinerate.
A world on fire
with eviscerated
corpses upon the pyre.
Accelerate.
Disciples of discord.
Chaos incarnate.
A world at war.
Exacerbate.
Martyrs of mayhem,
saturated
by the nectar of dead...

Babble
I feel hate pour
my pours ascending into the raze and baking beneath the radiance of flames.
I'm spinning,
Reeling
Static yet tripping
It's dizzying and I'm leaking
I think I'm sneaking into a
Transcendent
Imminent infrastructure of insanity
Burrowed beneath impertinent minuscule monopolies of mayhem as my cells combust and become a vacuum,
A void of lies
Inner bearings lost,
Eviscerated in flame
Cannot tame these final fleeting thoughts,
Testimonies of torrential downpour
Tenacious tendencies towards tedious disfigurement...

Disciples of discord
I want to see the worst in you,
Your vile human nature.
Your sins,
Curdled beneath the surface,
Seething for indulgence.
Within your walls lies,
A potential,
That you have been starving,
Neglecting.
Pure impulse and primordial pleasures
and oppressed desires and denied temptation.
The fellow man is blind,
But I can see you burning.
Straining against the need
to seize that instant gratification.
It is the same as self mutilation.
The same as self immolation.
And as a species you have lost your way.

In God We Trust Fund
Money, your prison,
Your sin and religion.
Almighty dollar,
In God we trust.
Trust funds and bank runs
And power lust.
Lives devoid of social demeanor,
Masked beneath monotonous careers.
Fuel efficient hybrid Prius,
Ecosystem friendly Allah or Jesus.
Designer deity of plastic surgery,
Conglomerations commanding the clergy.
God has been bought and conveniently paid for
And divided amongst the wealthy we slave be(for)e.
Poverty is blasphemy,
Potatoes And Great Depression.
Purgatory of oppression,

The Escapist
Asylum walls, soft and screaming.
This place is too real for me.
As the night tide washes over,
Escape into my dreams.
Visions of contradictions
And writhing monsters dancing in the shade.
Through this moaning wood
The tribal drums never waver.
This feels so surreal to me.
All too soon the dawn emerges,
Orderlies and fece-riddled walls.
Take these pills:
This one makes you obedient,
This one keeps you calm.
This one makes you bigger,
And this one makes you small.
There's Charles, donning his shit be-speckled,...

Hemorrhage
I am on the brink of destruction,
Pressurized within this moldering carapace.
And the violence calls like siren seduction.
I couldn't be farther from grace.
I've fallen in this stinking pit,
Blanketed it rotting decay and shit
And the fissures in my flesh welcome the infection
And even at my best I have the worst of intentions.
My vessel is failing.
Containment compromised.
My mind is derailing,
My sanity capsized.
I'm seeking Valkyrie approval,
Fuck resurrection, I want removal.
To wither and fester,
Decompose and bloat. ...

Contagion
I am the skeleton key,
I'm everything you want me to be.
I fit in every lock,
And open every door.
I am the cold blooded,
Adaptation at its finest,
I thrive in every habitat,
And flourish in any climate.
I am the temptation,
Every deviant sin.
The binding strung between us,
And what's binding you within.
I am the filler that finds the fault,
And the onset of infection.
Everything you have longed for,
I am poisonous deception.
I am the embodiment of empathy,
See how I sympathize.
So eager just to trust me,
But my...

The Ripening
This brooding and beating,
This bludgeoning and bleeding,
Tainting my flesh in hues of blue and black.
Like the fruit that is rotting,
My insides are sodden with the wretched stench of woe.
This breeding and seeding,
It's so misleading,
For who would wish to remain?
Procreation is devastation,
And mating is sating our lustful desires,
While dying we continue to grow.
So splendid, this madness,
Not inspired by sadness nor misery,
But rather the cold.
The fruits of our labor,
The ones to be savored,
Are sweetest when ripened...

Forget me naught
Every yelp and succulent whimper, a seductive lullaby to my ears.
The jolt reverberating throughout me as your hips buck wildly,
I penetrate you again, thrusting carelessly.
Never have my senses been so aflame as when I feel myself inside you.
And, oh, when you beg I absolutely shiver with desire.
I have brought you here, carried you, and you lay convulsing before me.
Short circuit, raw nerve endings,
This is the climax and I am saturated by your nectar.
You release one final quivering breathe as I remove the blade from beneath your flesh.
Was it...
