MARIONETTE
Lethargy...
A split in the sides
Acid membranes
Boil my insides
Scalding rain
Waterfall of I
That only I behold
As it drains into nigh
Too tired to feel
Tethered to the day
Dance, marionette
Until your threads fray
Dance...
A split in the sides
Acid membranes
Boil my insides
Scalding rain
Waterfall of I
That only I behold
As it drains into nigh
Too tired to feel
Tethered to the day
Dance, marionette
Until your threads fray

AT BLACKWOOD'S EDGE
Of teak and torpor, caged
Behind the one-way oculus
Of a dust curtained vantage
Is the self I loathe to trust
And her ghost was his keeper
That fluid hand on his shoulder
Was never truly felt, until dried
And in the light just below the lintel
From this stained glass prison
Colours the rain that never fell
Upon misericord impressions
But what is it you yearn for?
But a window, or an open door?
Upon the rocks, beneath the shade
At Blackwood's Edge, a debt was paid
Those black strands, like...
Behind the one-way oculus
Of a dust curtained vantage
Is the self I loathe to trust
And her ghost was his keeper
That fluid hand on his shoulder
Was never truly felt, until dried
And in the light just below the lintel
From this stained glass prison
Colours the rain that never fell
Upon misericord impressions
But what is it you yearn for?

MASOCHIST
In atramentous hours
Lust dances with anxiety
Availing shadow scours
To supplement futility
The poem written upon your sleeve
Tells of pain and of misery
And within the clandestine
Where you sought the nonpareil
Cruelty in guise of the pristine
Is all you wrought from parallels
Spherical mirror, ball and chain
Captured glimpse of true disdain
For truth demands you self-reflect
Or fall from reach of recompense
And yet...
His embellished eyes
Like gold-coated lead
Pull you further into...
Lust dances with anxiety
Availing shadow scours
To supplement futility

...BUT NOT FOR ME
It is all for you
The bore-hole
Dug straight through me
From my tired eyes
To my aching side
A loaned happiness
In time of turmoil
With rust under my fingernails
And blood on the tips
You stole all of my darkness
With those parted lips
So I asked myself 'why?'
'Why does the sea subside?'
A forgotten vow
Pulled into the tides
And for what else does the salt avail
Than my wounded flesh?
For I am nought but skin and bone
And you, the surfaced abalone
The water becomes black ...
The bore-hole
Dug straight through me
From my tired eyes
To my aching side
A loaned happiness
In time of turmoil
With rust under my fingernails
And blood on the tips
You stole all of my darkness

So I asked myself 'why?'

And for what else does the salt avail

PAGES OF NIHIL : ODYSSEY
Barely conscious
But whole
Awake in the future tense
For time to circumvent
I know that it's mine
I unwind
To fade into the sublime
Throbbing silence
Once a swallowing deep
Now indistinguishable from air
Sensory deprivation
Alone with myself
All I hear, my heartbeat
And there is no terror
Proprioception lost
A true spiritual ascent
If I may die, let it be like this
But whole
Awake in the future tense
For time to circumvent
I know that it's mine
I unwind
To fade into the sublime
Throbbing silence
Once a swallowing deep
Now indistinguishable from air
Sensory deprivation
Alone with myself
All I hear, my heartbeat
And there is no terror
Proprioception lost
A true spiritual ascent
If I may die, let it be like this

TO SEE THROUGH SCREENS
She opens her eyes
A sunrise filtered
Weeps through the blinds
Upon her pale forehead
And she recalled her morning plans
That she hadn't the energy to undertake
And she recalled last eve's events
And a tear, earthbound, spent
Pressed the pen, ink to dream
Feather sent, the ocean gleams
Another mark to mend the scene
A beating heart to fill the seam
A scream, call from trichromatic gaze
That tiny hole, her window the cage
That doorway that bays...
It is with lack of self-worth
One...

ETURHIKS TYSSOVDR
Embedded within
The doorway in my chest
I see myself, distorted
By the empty glass
Carbon fiber rain
Upon the hungering sands
Empress sun, endless one
Burns upon my hand
Motionless on the shore
A lament for the ghost inside
I gaze vacantly to the West
A taut cable released
Into the dysphoric dream
Eternity holds the key
Amongst a thousand spares
A lifetime in a passing glance
I cradle every second passed
The doorway in my chest
I see myself, distorted
By the empty glass
Carbon fiber rain
Upon the hungering sands
Empress sun, endless one
Burns upon my hand
Motionless on the shore
A lament for the ghost inside
I gaze vacantly to the West
A taut cable released
Into the dysphoric dream
Eternity holds the key
Amongst a thousand spares
A lifetime in a passing glance
I cradle every second passed

IN THE MARROW AND MIRE
A struggle to my feet
Worn down to the bone
And soaked in petrichor
I see that I'm alone
Blood upon the rocks
Glistening in the light of dawn
Smeared down to the mire
That besets my path
Begets curiosity
I bid myself to sink
Into Apollyon's arms
This diurnal sleep
Amid cavernous deep
The ichor flows heavier
Than the weight of darkness
Enraptured by its warmth
Tender, loving arms of death
I walk upon the granite
Of my...

FLESH CONNOISSEUR
The ache
It comes again
A tempest of pond life
Writhing inside
Heat manifest
Swarming my inhibition
The cloth
Draped around her breasts
Sweat beads an invitation
Her country the pillowcase
I throb premature
Nigh spasmodic in nature
Just before immigrating
My fingers were tendrils
Unrestrained idolatry
To partake of the finest
Spider silk flesh
I salivate as a cannibal
I cannot keep face
I must consume
Dagger fingernails
Leave trace on my back

EREBUS
Depraved machinations
Obliviscence of mortality
Illusory will inebriates
It is the gift of ignorance
There is no privacy from ubiquity
My eyes that watch from the shadows
All matter is within my grasp
In all places light cannot disturb
That irrational fear you cannot escape
Journaled in the history of your race
And in comfort, all arms embrace
That which sustains
Their blind race
I will come, with insatiable hunger
To mock skepsis without contrite
For there will be no end in sight
...
