Poet Introduction
My muse is that of uncertainty, and so my work is mostly devoid of clarity. My inspiration comes from dark and chaotic places.

AMMUNITION
Glass engraved, lips brush
Flesh, blood, drank too much
Fit me like a glove
Sipped me just enough
We struggle to move past our regrets
And find we can't live with our present
I'm sorry that I never forgive
Plucked bud, withered love
Hands burned, gave the sun
Held me like none could
Asked if it felt good
We told each other we could escape
And now we can't remember the place
I hate that everything looks the same
Now
So I'll stay until the morning comes
There's nowhere...
Flesh, blood, drank too much
Fit me like a glove
Sipped me just enough
We struggle to move past our regrets
And find we can't live with our present
I'm sorry that I never forgive
Plucked bud, withered love
Hands burned, gave the sun
Held me like none could
Asked if it felt good
We told each other we could escape
And now we can't remember the place
I hate that everything looks the same
Now
So I'll stay until the morning comes
There's nowhere...

TOIL
Upon barren fields, no crops to sow
Where life becomes rorulent
These forsaken yields, they rotted slow
When doom became apparent
Within memories now, those torrents gone
To greener lands beyond here
Yet still I shall toil until the dawn
For there's nothing left to fear
Where life becomes rorulent
These forsaken yields, they rotted slow
When doom became apparent
Within memories now, those torrents gone
To greener lands beyond here
Yet still I shall toil until the dawn
For there's nothing left to fear

THE VIOLINIST
Omitted the game you play
Speared through as lines erased
Written to colour the grey
Upon this page you splay
Your tempest comes for me
With words of Baroque you play
I deliquesce in shape
Your sonorous embrace
Silk beguiled swan song
Swarth enrobed dusk
Baleful tryst
And her name was silence
When longing came to be
The noise was deafening
They are the wolves, left behind
Marking the trees with claws and teeth
Far from the flesh they bleed
For the prey is mine...
Speared through as lines erased
Written to colour the grey
Upon this page you splay
Your tempest comes for me
With words of Baroque you play
I deliquesce in shape
Your sonorous embrace
Silk beguiled swan song
Swarth enrobed dusk
Baleful tryst
And her name was silence
When longing came to be
The noise was deafening
They are the wolves, left behind
Marking the trees with claws and teeth
Far from the flesh they bleed
For the prey is mine...

STAY WITH US
Lone pariah of the heart in knots
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...

VISIONS OF APOCALYPSE
All is written, all is scried
All is hated that is pried
All is rotten, all is vile
All is hidden 'neath a smile
All is beckoned, all is towed
All is brought to my abode
All is loathing, all is dread
All is leaking from my head
All is murder, all is death
All is mine with every breath
All is burning, all is gore
All is fragments on the floor
All is dusty, all is drenched
All is rocks and weeds and stench
All is vacant, all is void
All is waste of the enjoyed
All is blackened, all is grey
All is one phone call...
All is hated that is pried
All is rotten, all is vile
All is hidden 'neath a smile
All is beckoned, all is towed
All is brought to my abode
All is loathing, all is dread
All is leaking from my head
All is murder, all is death
All is mine with every breath
All is burning, all is gore
All is fragments on the floor
All is dusty, all is drenched
All is rocks and weeds and stench
All is vacant, all is void
All is waste of the enjoyed
All is blackened, all is grey
All is one phone call...

THE HITMAN
I.
"It all ended with a hush, and tears
A silent confession as I cupped his ears
Then life continued with a quickening pace
And a part of me has never left that place
His image persists as I leave with her
A solemn abnegation to which I swore
His image persists as she confides in me
Choked the pain inside that she'll never see
A plethora of faces
Past the barrel of a gun
But of pareidolia
There was only one
I could weep of unfairness
I could scream at the sky
But protecting her...
"It all ended with a hush, and tears

WHITE
How could it be
My oath of malice, broken?
What did I see
From out my dreams, awoken?
Fair and unbeknownst to me
With radiance bequeathed the shade
To my orbicular gates
Stricken
The purity refined therein
Made every light anemic
And the rose of her smile
My kaleidoscopic prison
A single thought escaped
As I made away
"Goodness, me"
My oath of malice, broken?
What did I see
From out my dreams, awoken?
Fair and unbeknownst to me
With radiance bequeathed the shade
To my orbicular gates
Stricken
The purity refined therein
Made every light anemic
And the rose of her smile
My kaleidoscopic prison
A single thought escaped
As I made away
"Goodness, me"

UNTITLED
Heartstring bound
Shivers
A crack in sound
Then silence
Aback to the chasm
Of conscience
I lay, dilapidated
As all structures become
Crumbling here
Fading into the wilds
Lifted
Gazing above
Nearing zenith
Free
Shivers
A crack in sound
Then silence
Aback to the chasm
Of conscience
I lay, dilapidated
As all structures become
Crumbling here
Fading into the wilds
Lifted
Gazing above
Nearing zenith
Free

GRAIL
Tragedy unspoken
By chlororescent eyes
The storm I'd betokened
That ripped through the disguise
A brown noise undulates
The dirge of her demise
Her shame absquatulates
'Neath vivaciousness, hides
In memory, vagrant
Chased by tenebrous tides
And presently, hated
By the mouths you fed lies
Warped glass, fractal plane
Loathe belied by lust
Must devour the remains
From these hands, again
The time had arrived
Yet in fantasy, denied
On flesh ecstasy, rides
Emptied grail, mine
By chlororescent eyes
The storm I'd betokened
That ripped through the disguise
A brown noise undulates
The dirge of her demise
Her shame absquatulates
'Neath vivaciousness, hides
In memory, vagrant
Chased by tenebrous tides
And presently, hated
By the mouths you fed lies
Warped glass, fractal plane
Loathe belied by lust
Must devour the remains
From these hands, again
The time had arrived
Yet in fantasy, denied
On flesh ecstasy, rides
Emptied grail, mine

WALTZ
Somber, typical wake from sleep
Classical tunes to adorn routine
Bits of sustenance, a light snack
Deluge of caffeine, I like it black
Walk to nowhere and home again
This infinite waltz, my only friend
Classical tunes to adorn routine
Bits of sustenance, a light snack
Deluge of caffeine, I like it black
Walk to nowhere and home again

DREAMSCAPE : WYVERNS
I am taking shape again
Vi coactus, in the darkness
Wading through erudite throes
And wordless echoes
These eyes without pith
In babel, scattered
Two yearn to disappear
To egress to yesteryear
Plague dreams, vulgaris
Hearth of azure flame as cold as death
Bedlam welcoming, embrace like pitch
Was my cat o' nine tails
The body moves and grasps for existence
The soul burns behind in the aftermath
Sheared in two by the waking void
Smearing any attempt at being
The beasts upon me, dread...
Vi coactus, in the darkness
Wading through erudite throes
And wordless echoes
These eyes without pith
In babel, scattered
Two yearn to disappear
To egress to yesteryear
Plague dreams, vulgaris
Hearth of azure flame as cold as death
Bedlam welcoming, embrace like pitch
Was my cat o' nine tails
The body moves and grasps for existence
The soul burns behind in the aftermath
Sheared in two by the waking void
Smearing any attempt at being
The beasts upon me, dread...

15 YEARS
I still recall
The frightened teens
On Halloween
Down the drive
And walks on moonlit nights
With the blanketing glow
Of November snow
A time that mystery still was profound
And the woods crept into my soul
In their bone-chilling embrace
I was whole
I still recall
That blasted heath
To where we'd often play
I must admit those times are dear
Despite what became of us
There is no shame in distance
For sake of one's health
Choosing not to play the game
I wish them well but never will ...
