Poet Introduction
What you call disturbing I call art.
Gnawing
Gnawing,
Scratching its way to the surface,
Like jagged nails etching deep gouges into my skin,
This feeling of nothing tugging, thumping, breathing,
Nothing,
As if the very breath from my lungs have been ripped out by a phantom hand,
Between life and death,
Between here and there,
Between desperation and exasperation,
Gnawing, scratching, clawing its way out
Leaving tendrils of skin and marrow,
Making its way out of the womb of my jaded heart,
Like Lazarus leaving the tomb,
Like a leper seeing daylight.
Scratching its way to the surface,
Like jagged nails etching deep gouges into my skin,
This feeling of nothing tugging, thumping, breathing,
Nothing,
As if the very breath from my lungs have been ripped out by a phantom hand,
Between life and death,
Between here and there,
Between desperation and exasperation,
Gnawing, scratching, clawing its way out
Leaving tendrils of skin and marrow,
Making its way out of the womb of my jaded heart,
Like Lazarus leaving the tomb,
Like a leper seeing daylight.

And the Wind
The wind sways,
In unspeakable ways,
Ushering a feeling of grief,
It whispers secretly in ears,
Making skin tingle,
And hearts shatter,
The wind sways,
It chills the body,
Makes it cold and numb,
As though it was ice,
Erasing all memory,
Freezing all love,
All are unaware,
As to how strong the wind is,
Passionless as it whirls,
Stripping all in its path,
Leaving the refuse,
To die alone,
In a tempest dance,
The wind sways...

Leaving the refuse,
To die alone,
In a tempest dance,

One More Pill
One more pill,
Just one more,
Please let me just close the door,
Let me lock it and put the key away,
Let me drift and ease the pain,
One more pill,
Just one more,
Because I can't take it,
No not anymore,
Why do I want to let go,
When my whole life is ahead of me,
I just want to go home,
And forget every part of me,
One more pill,
Just one more,
Yeah baby just keep chugging,
Til' there’s nothing on the floor,
One more pill,
Just one more,
Until my mind is empty,
And I’m dead on the floor.
Just one more,
Please let me just close the door,
Let me lock it and put the key away,
Let me drift and ease the pain,

Why do I want to let go,
When my whole life is ahead of me,
I just want to go home,
And forget every part of me,
One more pill,
Just one more,
Yeah baby just keep chugging,
Til' there’s nothing on the floor,
One more pill,
Just one more,
Until my mind is empty,
And I’m dead on the floor.

Diabolus
Kissing blood stained wrists,
Looking up at the shadowed sky,
Into the abyss,
A metallic taste fills my mouth,
As an oath passes my lips,
Without a mint of doubt,
The abyss winks as the sky opens,
Revealing a man,
Beautiful and broken,
My heart stutters and my eyes are fixed,
As the man shudders and trembles in the mist,
His hair the color of ravens,
Skin pale like bones in the sun,
Eyes the color of the heavens,
His lips the color of blood,
My...

Anima Nihil (Soul No More)
The sky has opened its black veil
To unleash a cascade of foulness and death
Crippling all those who fall under it’s ominous shade
The night is young
Resplendent with unimaginable pleasure and weeping
The cascade welcomes all into its cold embrace
Warming the heart with hate and passion
Chilling the heart with malice and death
Those who fall under its shade
Are doomed to die
In a world of darkness
Warming their cold bones with the essence of life
The essence that has escaped them since they befell under the shade
Wriggling like worms in...
To unleash a cascade of foulness and death
Crippling all those who fall under it’s ominous shade
The night is young
Resplendent with unimaginable pleasure and weeping
The cascade welcomes all into its cold embrace
Warming the heart with hate and passion
Chilling the heart with malice and death
Those who fall under its shade
Are doomed to die
In a world of darkness
Warming their cold bones with the essence of life
The essence that has escaped them since they befell under the shade
Wriggling like worms in...
