POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write whatever I feel like.
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

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...

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 ...

ROMANESQUE
Oh, Selene
Mother of silver
Aback riverboats; dew-laden coats
Unlike the austere sun
Your light, my heart had won
A night emblazoned
Of wanton and mystique
Both cherished here
The Romanesque and bleak
A coin for passage
Sky lights fold over into applause
Her clouds ever-changing as the moth
Behind the veil
My eyes witness the true beauty
Of rooms without walls
Mother of silver
Aback riverboats; dew-laden coats
Unlike the austere sun
Your light, my heart had won
A night emblazoned
Of wanton and mystique
Both cherished here
The Romanesque and bleak
A coin for passage
Sky lights fold over into applause
Her clouds ever-changing as the moth
Behind the veil
My eyes witness the true beauty
Of rooms without walls

TONIC
I feel them in the breeze
Blasting through my hair
I hear them in the trees
Whistling as I stare
As a thunder cracks
Behind my back
Always my flame ascends
To light the darkest eyrie
Always the river bends
My tonic of rosemary
I taste them in my mouth
Wicked words exchanged
I smell them when I'm out
Only thing unchanged
As a lightning peeks
Beyond the peak
Always my shoulders ache
An anchor that I carry
Always my dreams behave
Like tonics of rosemary
Blasting through my hair
I hear them in the trees
Whistling as I stare
As a thunder cracks
Behind my back
Always my flame ascends
To light the darkest eyrie
Always the river bends
My tonic of rosemary
I taste them in my mouth
Wicked words exchanged
I smell them when I'm out
Only thing unchanged
As a lightning peeks
Beyond the peak
Always my shoulders ache
An anchor that I carry
Always my dreams behave
Like tonics of rosemary

THE KNIGHT
No more joy
No more pain
No more love
No more hate
No more truth
No more lies
No more voice
No more cries
Risen from the void
A cold, hollow vessel walks
To their doom
A plagued kingdom lost to time
Opens soon
Ashes rise from where they tread
Amber shines through all the dead
Their emptiness, a friend
Their tragedy never reached its end
Don't remember me, no
Don't despair, you're free
Don't honour me, you see
I am lost, like you
No more pain
No more love
No more hate
No more truth
No more lies
No more voice
No more cries
Risen from the void
A cold, hollow vessel walks
To their doom
A plagued kingdom lost to time
Opens soon
Ashes rise from where they tread
Amber shines through all the dead
Their emptiness, a friend
Their tragedy never reached its end
Don't remember me, no
Don't despair, you're free
Don't honour me, you see
I am lost, like you

FAR OVER IT
Amidst the decrepit pews
Whereupon the jester hews
For all whom adore
That lachrymose whore
To thou I say, get over it
Along an empty shoreline
Beyond those bottle-fed swine
The moon at my door
The stars at my floor
To this I say, get over it
About this wax fuselage
Bitter is that black corsage
Those lies are thy moor
The seeds grow no more
To thee I say, get over it
The Devil you know is free
More righteous is he, than thee
In his beauty, died
In the past,...

TO RENEW
To reflect on this
Serendipitous
Crushed flowers, the wind a spear
Carried to forsaken doorsteps
A light in the sky
Artificial sun
And a closing eye
For yesterday has died
A stone's throw away
Inundation of true bliss
Serendipitous
A carmine streak
A poignant hue
To some, a river of blood
But it beckons me back
To greater misfortunes
I paint not with pigment
My landscapes are of the mind
A crescendo of words
To ease an appetite
May...

PAGES OF NIHIL : MELINOË
Stepped out from the light that blinds
Aback to my brighter night
Siphoned poison from my veins
But the nightmares always stay
I see stars I don't want to see
Some days I can't even breathe
Found sobriety, all is anew
But I never feel better
I envision a better me
It is all that I want to be
Manipulation isn't new to me
Should've had a clearer perception
Excuse negativity
Excuse false empathy
Excuse love that shouldn't be
Of those we're both guilty
Who was the bigger fool? ...

OIL AND WATER
Now there's a dust from my legs
As I unfurl my wings once again
A trip to places I missed
Another sip of those colder winds
Just a pinch of salt will do
Just a ghost of belief from you
Now there's an ocean between
These places pulling my heart from me
Our eyes were locked in a dance
But you were taking another's hand
By Autumn you're falling free
I see you as the swaying leaves
I've got an ache in my bones
It's not as painful as hope, you know
When love becomes like a gun ...

DEATH OF YGGDRASIL
Breeding dark chasms
Vile echoes fill the air
The twisted, dying sounds
Wind alone is passing through
The hemisphere
Opal odour
Nihilistic balm, transcending
Cosmic ash, nine homes
A tapestry for lost souls
Between us lies Niflheimr
A journey through the hole
Against my will, trapped
In the fires of perdition
Thunder cracks the sky
With Hel and her conditions
Tree of life
Her dead roots weeping
Odin awakens, from sleeping
Nine worlds open
Around all...
