Poet Introduction
I write whatever I feel like.
WHITEST SNOW
You are as the whitest snow
Eyes so pure they seem to glow
Did you see me in your dreams
On a knee?
Did you hear me breathe softly
In your ear?
Did my heart just cease to beat
And restart?
Could this moment be what I
Think? Oh no
Never mind, I must have tripped
On the blind
I just keep stuttering
I can't keep my mouth shut
I know I must bore you
But I simply adore you
I can't shake the shivers
When I'm standing there with her
I can't even hold a glance
Scared to grasp the...

POLARITY
Sterling assembly
In finite words written
Between the exosphere
And my affinity
A talisman embedded
In void space
Semblance of archetypal
Divinity
Sought refuge in time
Polarity defined
Bridging gaps in the fabric
'Je me souviens'
I remember the falsehood
Reanimation like glass shards
Coupled with infinity
And drawing breath now
The process complete
Receding cognizance
As time slips
And the universe stumbles
Black holes ignite my design
And...

DESPAIR : LETHE
Shuddering and confused
In a vacuous mind, sheltered
I see indigo stains on the rock
Every action stops in tandem
Eupnea is stolen from me
Fading into the frozen black
I seek naught but a distraction
Shallow whole and splintered
Malodorous like burnt flesh
A presence holding me back
Lashing out at nothing
Paranoia
Clutching the cusp of a moment
In spite, acting
Nocturnal dreams gift me flight
In troublesome spaces
Profusion of empty thoughts
Bleeding wounds for amnesty ...

MDLOSCI
My heart is a countdown
My eyes track the hours
I kneel to renown
Or maybe to cower
Too many sleep aids
Only to follow the sun
Perception is fading
Got my lips on a gun
The days lined with consequences
Coincidentally
Never seemed so bad to me
The years are taking their toll
And now I'm getting cold
Never want to be old
There's a knock on the door
Made me blink twice more
I can hear it from so far away
Well I'm not sure anyway
I've got a feeling now
It's...

ORCHID
Twelve to three, unchaste and propitious
Into the grove of orchids we painted the rust
Serenading the twilight into our wanton desire
Despite the cold and it's austerity, we lit the pyre
Abnegating the trust bestowed unto thee
I stop at nothing, for there's nothing to see
In this starlit night, where our morning is dead
Fastening to the precipice of which you dread
And through the maw of darkness belayed
Flayed by dew droplets, our vulgar display
Wretched obelisk of the surely damned
A pain-soaked enigma stretching it's hand
Spent...

THE MACHIAVELLIAN
Fragments of the broken mind
Coalescing in gaunt harmony
Reflection shudders in the black
As kisses upon dead foreheads
Beneath timeless halls
Coursing with meek footsteps
Of flagellants and martyrs
Burning the colourful portrait
Of we...
Wary of influence, secrets are kept
Seldom we sing, lest corpses become
Monuments, where horrid things crept
Darkest parade, yet golden to some
Of morality smeared away
Of disgust we cannot say
From instruments, we gain
From misery, disdain

C21H30O5
Here you are, in the throne of your actions
It’s cold and it’s dark
Counting drinks and savouring words
Too bad that it’s losing its spark
Hours and days and months down
Yet here you are still
Masking the pain with a shrug
Too hard to know that you’re in love
I remember all the details
And charming summer play
Do you need a secret friend, dear
Cause all mine have run away
Don’t ask me why I’m so confined
I like my privacy
Don’t tell me that I’m running late
They won’t remember me
...

CARRION
Carrion, life had gone
For vultures to feast upon
Beasts of rotting flesh
Tearing at the mesh
Weeks had devoured
All fragments had scoured
Soured, flower of meth
Death, it's attestant
Caressed it, blessed
Detested the earth
Marrow leaks it's mirth
The ground reeks of birth
Around shadows inert
Profound with drowned
Archaic roots beneath
Archetypal legacy
Of nigh entitled leprosy
This vine of tethered ivy
Anchored to a hollow tree
Enriched the fields
And ditched all yields
Gathering of...

APOSTASY : DEMIURGE
The stake is transfixed unto lepered flesh
As emaciated, the hunger increased
The will to live overrides inhibition
To end the suffering enmeshed in cognizance
Torn ligaments and snapping twigs
Piece by piece, the blood is boiling
Blighted innards and a smell of rust
The ground now sanctified in holy viscera
...and in the deep chasms of sin
Prolific spawn in the shadow of his heart
The parasitic consummation
A lingering stench of rotting placenta
As in the visions cast upon the callow
They know that...

ÅRSGÅNG I: SKOGSRÅET
Candle fires waned
And night became darker
'Til barely a detail remained
Vexed and breathing smoke
Through distant eyes
In the depths, she spoke
Her finger to my lips
I am stilled in place
I am numbed as I sip
Time flows backwards from here forward
Eyes, envisioned; a nightmare to come
Endured suffering that's only begun
Carrion withers with each step
And night brings terror still
Whispers every sickened thought
Vile against his will
Prosaic, all is greyed ...

LABYRINTHINE, THE UBIQUITOUS VOID
Of weathered grip, sublimate inferna
Turmoil in the veins of consistency
Procurement of amaranthe, myrrh for nostalgia
And to despoil the aggregate memories
Whisked into the breeze by the void snare
Losing momentum infinitely
Spent idyllic hours, in the grasp of despair
Labyrinthe of cosmic duplicity
Misericorde
For solicitude
Oleaginous with sweat
Celestial sycophant, smiling
At the absence of matter, crept
Into the crypt so reviled
Harmony in gaseous disorientation
And the...
