Black Rose
Buried in flesh
Two knives
Tears of blood
Slits in both eyes
Feral human
Tormented by
Imagination
Painted by a past
Too dark to admit
Grow black roses
To lay at the grave
Though not dead
It's a dying light
Fading with
Each
Cheap
Breath
Welcome oblivion
Face this face of
Death.

Childhood Drowning
I remember your awful hands
Clothes ripping
Showerhead dripping
Echoes vibrate
From fingers to toes
Those lights blinded me
Bareskin on a cold floor
Writhing, fighting
You took that away
Eventually
I was your puppet
I'm not sleeping
Sixteen fucking years
I'm in a cold-sweat
I'm still running
From your skin
You violent waste of sperm.

If Boredom Had A Soul It'd be Yours
You tiny bubble
Limited in thought
Unfamiliar ideals
Are sorcery
You piano ballad
Uncomplicated
Bland and happy
What are you made of?
You only flash color
When it's a white lie
You washing machine
Collecting dust
I can find no thrill
I run and you sit still.

A Rage Against Death
The reaper follows
Stalking quietly
Among nights
lonesome;
It is my own hand.
This rage burning within
Starkly contrasted against
Morose days spent awake
For fear of sleep
The reaper follows
He frequents my home
Guide me towards release
Only for me to back away
I'll suffer this terrible night
Alone, alone, go away
Reaper, deathly guide
I'll not go to the light
Not yet, though lately
You hardly startle me.

Forgotten in Silence/Common fool
Infatuated with a glow
Once present within
I follow its path
Forgotten
Wandering aimlessly
Am I a fool
Never to notice
This darkness forboding?
As a child
Without a guide
Calling out
To ears
That hear only
Silence
I will be found ...

God of Grief
Sorrowful sacrament
Justification through jesus
Laying low with liars
Distance disturbing
Divnity
Drowning disiples
Masking malice masterfully
Ministers misleading
Blind believers
Bleeding blissfully.

A Chant for Dismemberment
No usurper to overthrow
A supposed throne
Nothing of an applause
It is not appropriate
All life downward
From my spiral
It was pathetic denial
Some become idols
They are fine actors
If not confident liars
Worshipped by shells
Empty, blind and anemic
I'm an alcoholic
Though I am aware
Of the bullshit
Spread like a pleague
I was never confused
Upon these heights
That brought me low
I am the silloutte
at sunrise, in the gallows.

All Souls in Slumber
Lock eyes with a masochist
Swimming in the darkness
Would you take a few timid steps
With the hand of heaviness?
Dance the way the dead do
In a casket, in a church
In a grave for those still breathing
Calling out names and lamenting
Jesus and Satan, angels silent
With the innocent repenting
The heart is a serpant sleeping
The dying, the non-believer
The blind follower, cryptkeeper
The songstress, the forever-sleeper
...

Sixteen Years Ago I Was Seven and Smarter
Some days never fucking end
When they do, they begin again
and again and again
Thanks for all the corrections
They're so helpful
You're a sweetheart
And Google apparently
But I won't argue, I'm probably wrong
I usually am
"Always actually"
Yes, yes I am always wrong
I hope I die young and alone.

Yes, yes I am always wrong

In the Doorway A Body
Four years, I'll never forget
the fog rolls dense.
Satisfy a wandering mind
with thoughts, color
chemically high with no life.
Everything lost from such a gain
Every effort to change ended in vain
Pitiful soul, hung from a dog's chain.
the fog rolls dense.
Satisfy a wandering mind
with thoughts, color
chemically high with no life.

Image of Winter
A love softly subdued
Succumbed
No rebirth
Embrace a serpent
Arms of a lair
No winner
My image of winter
.
