Contaminate
Don't stand too close,
for you might facilitate.
What dies here, within me,
which may, contaminate.
And it'll be much too dark,
if, or when, it's in 'your' mind.
And then it'll be much too late,
to kill, what you cannot find.
Because, it will feed on you,
like writhing maggots, in gore.
Gorging on your, festering,
cerebral cortex's, central core.
And then you'll feel, what I feel,
you'll feel the sickening rot.
The haemorrhaging of sanity,
until reality, you cannot plot.
So, if I was you, I'd be...
for you might facilitate.
What dies here, within me,
which may, contaminate.
And it'll be much too dark,
if, or when, it's in 'your' mind.
And then it'll be much too late,
to kill, what you cannot find.
Because, it will feed on you,
like writhing maggots, in gore.
Gorging on your, festering,
cerebral cortex's, central core.
And then you'll feel, what I feel,
you'll feel the sickening rot.

Blue Bear
It's a dream she thought, but it was wonder and awe
At the end of the bed, there was a blue bear to adore
To the silent sentinel, she said 'I know you're not real'
But beguiled by its presence, she'd ephemerally heal
And though time would pass, she'd always remember
Even when August faded, into a cimmerian December
So when she found peace, with a last nod of her head
I'm sure, a blue bear was there, at the end of her bed
At the end of the bed, there was a blue bear to adore
To the silent sentinel, she said 'I know you're not real'
But beguiled by its presence, she'd ephemerally heal
And though time would pass, she'd always remember
Even when August faded, into a cimmerian December
So when she found peace, with a last nod of her head
I'm sure, a blue bear was there, at the end of her bed

Otherside / No Master Plan
OTHERSIDE
To the black arts and demons, I pledged my troths
But they were the smoke and mirrors of unholy ghosts
For there was nothing left in reality, but a mummer's mime
And the irreversible pouring, of the silent sands, of time
I travelled far beyond the ether, to outer space
But there was no one there either, or even a trace
So I'm here, in these wastelands, of the in-between
With wiccan witches, on the Otherside of Halloween
NO MASTER PLAN
There's no God, or Satan, there's...
To the black arts and demons, I pledged my troths
But they were the smoke and mirrors of unholy ghosts
For there was nothing left in reality, but a mummer's mime
And the irreversible pouring, of the silent sands, of time
I travelled far beyond the ether, to outer space
But there was no one there either, or even a trace
So I'm here, in these wastelands, of the in-between
With wiccan witches, on the Otherside of Halloween
NO MASTER PLAN

Hailoween
They'll hail this night, of wights, before they're torn asunder
And let their inner demons thrive, before the witches conjure
For although the disciples of the macabre, are insanely obscene
It's now their time to hail, the eidolons, for they are Halloween
Thirteen witches incantations, will call Satan, to raise the dead
Whilst a pumpkin gazes, through empty eyes, in a hollow head
And the defiled, will pledge their souls, within the satanic oaths
As the necromancers purge their demons and the unholy ghosts
Of flesh and blood, will surround,...

Haunted World
Haunted world, cast into a radioactive, Venus guise
Ascension has been mortally razed, within their lies
Under a spell, those who were, decided not to think
Now, they're the ghosts and ashes, of those extinct
They had it all, as they chose to see, but didn't look
Ending everything inevitably, as the lightning struck
Death was, the missile, the bomb, the artillery shell
Wailing with insanity's sirens, to warn, but not repel
Ordained by heaven, but the gods, were not in fact
Removed, from the horror, of each depraved attack
Let those MAD men...

In The Depths Of Darkness
Behind the bars, in the domain, of the dark and damp
You might see, the ethereal glow, of the miner's lamp
But in the listless umbra, there'll be no shadows cast
For those who are there, are phantoms from the past
Some others, crawled through a hole, to wander round
Under the sinkholes, in the warren, beneath the ground
In the crumbling tunnels, they left their marks, in white
As they scribed, their cartography, by their torch's light
Oft, in eerie silence, they traipsed and had time to mull ...

Elysium Nova
Whoever you think you are, you are not, you'll never exist
For your unreality is, merely, a metaverse, created abyss
You're part of a machine, there's nothing above or below
As a copy of humanity, you're simply, a shimmering glow
Everything you're not, is an illusion, an AI's make-believe
And where you are, is a matrix, that you cannot perceive
For you were created, not born, from the start, level one
To be manipulated, up to level two and then, on and on
Your free will, is insanity, for you're constantly being led
And though an essence...
For your unreality is, merely, a metaverse, created abyss

By Friars Well
It's a nowhere place, where you'll never be
Or even contemplate to find, or ever see
It's just a field, by a hamlet, by Friars Well
A moment in time, under the summer's spell
Maybe it's one last chance, before the ploughs
For me to leisurely cross, for this track allows
So feet fall firmly, on stubble and sun baked mud
Traversing to the other side, from where I stood
And when I'm there, yonder, I won't look back
As the way's ahead and there's no time, to slack
For it's a nowhere place, it's just an empty field
Where...

Cataclysmic Kaleidoscope
Look up, look high! Behold a sight of wonder
The panoply, of the firmament, is torn asunder
Heaven's incinerating, for the ether's, burning
And Eden's razed, but the world's still turning
Wrecked, upon magma rocks, in the sea of fire
Paradise has finally been lost, to a molten mire
The end's past nigh, but the very end's bespoke
As the air becomes, a cataclysmic kaleidoscope
Somewhere, shielded, against the infernos rage
Apocalypse enablers, survey their technophage
For it's only the living skin, that will drip like wax
As the...
