Poet Introduction
I shall let my poetry introduce me
Twilight
At Heaven’s collapse
Gaia sighs, trembles
And meets the Sun
Gaia sighs, trembles
And meets the Sun

Silent Hill
When all is silent
'cept the air, hot
and violent
redolent with noxious
chemical odor,
then is the time
to peek over your
bony shoulder
and watch with starry eyes
as explosive ash
and careless gods
consume the skies.
She is free.

Endless Game
Twenty-Three is stalking me
(or I might be a bit insane)
I took a peek behind the veil
Now, They make me play Their game.
We sit around the endless table,
Monsters of every kind.
Follow the rules and if you're able,
you might just win back your life.
It takes cunning, it takes wit
So much strategy, I'm sick.
It keeps me up every night.
Indecision. What is right?
Esoteric riddles asked
to mundane minds, challenge tasked
Find the answers that They seek.
Pray Your soul isn't weak..

Ritual Hunger
A tisket, a tasket
a gangrene-yellow basket
full of hearts from Lovers passed
stolen from their caskets.
I stopped them, I chopped them
on the plate, I dropped them
I savored the flavors of my feast
satiating my inner beast

Lithe and lethal mystery
I am an armored Lover
Little pincers, stinger tip
Adorned with pain and poison
Sharp and scalding, blistering
The lies we tell each other
It is my Nature, I cannot help
Do not hate me for mysef
