hi bren
anxiety grips and I hear them in the distance
and instead of ushering them away, I invite them in
the voices they entertain me
Keep me company
give me an outlet for this claustrophobic feeling
In my insanity, I can fly
I can touch the sky
Travel far away
The stars are closer
and my realities are brighter
The demons are hilarious
But I can never remember their jokes
Except they make fun of life
pointing out people's frailty
when I laugh madly out of nowhere
They're cracking wise
sinister...

love/hate
desecrate my loney places
heat seek in my inner mind
your soul print is already there
keeping me bound to you
I take a deep breath in
knowing you would reach me wherever I go
touching me deeply, leaving impressions of us
this deep obsession to be with you
arching into you, my understanding
coveting your presence
it dominates my waking thought
my soul scours the air
looking for yours
holding tight to memories and wishes
gasping deep down, I am in deep
You will never forget me
my spirit flies...

seethe
Viking lust, yes, it's Lucifer again
honest trust brother to brother
rise and recognize your heritage
Vahalla calls a pledge a vow
seeking blood rites
confess your sins
so you may be ready to face me
sacred brotherhood paid in flesh
your soul and mine divine
secret soldier warrior of old
with an understanding of the otherworld
at attention represent yourself before me
One question: Are you loyal
sinister knowledge I am who I am
seeking nothing, asking for less
blended union you spoke nothingness into...

venom
to speaketh ill, the lady fought with her words
to cover them with flowery intent
words of no nutrition but to spit venom
the poison wrought made everything rotten
and she had naught to eat
but the death of her value
conceit concerning nothing
she rambles in the dark
amazing no one
her end quite frightful
she was utterly consumed in the flames
of her failure
to cover them with flowery intent
words of no nutrition but to spit venom
the poison wrought made everything rotten
and she had naught to eat
but the death of her value
conceit concerning nothing
she rambles in the dark
amazing no one
her end quite frightful
she was utterly consumed in the flames
of her failure

dour
my terror utters screams you cannot hear
only the damned take notice
with racous laughter
heckling my demise
show fear better not
Or the whole riotous lot will attack
heed my warning or blister
in the hated cold where everything is dour
Stand your ground and hold tight to your beliefs
cause the demons come to feast
gorging on your doubts
lying to you, shouting with closed mouths
but you hear them all the same
It is an evil game they play
Madness bane if you back down
They will become more brazen ...

utterly
my love doth need in the silent swell
where danger lurks and wanton privy doth preach
my soul seeks yours evermore
in the depths of tomorrow's glare
who looks to take our love and cast it away
far into the abyss where fate has no sway
Tis not noble or proper our bliss
sacred union coming together under Midnight's disarray
We can be ourselves here
behexed and besotted though we may be
betwixt the emptiness of propriety and value
There is no other choice
a dalliance with you
to come so close to burning

diary of sin
sadness dwells and I with it
in my marrow, sorrow keeps
melancholy feeling I will never be enough
my soul longs but falls short
to be measured by stars and broken promises
my thoughts reach and I fall
It isn't enough to be broken
fragile bits of dust and porcelain
threatening to crumble
my memories shelter there
where it is dark and safe
utterances of grief cannot reach
still I weep
holding myself tight to dreams
Constructing foundations of paper planes
that soar for a moment
then crash...

run from the sorrow that keens
escape me my heart
run from my soul, depart
landscapes of sorrow my only offering
kindred with sadness
melancholy wanders here
alone with a handful of memories
that echo with the dawn
disappearing inside her book of dreams
keeping me from mine sweetheart
languish no more in the dark
step into the light of understanding
these are wasted landscapes
a void not to be comprehended
silently I make my way through
with clouds of doubt blocking my view
rage stumbles my steps and I go tumbling ...

where stars are born
disturbing stars as I fade from this world
leaving glitter as I go
sparkling understanding that amuses
take me far from here
into exotic worlds place me
where I can be myself
a new form to explore in
experiencing the place before me
interactive my new mother smiles at me
with a nudge encourages me to open my eyes
at the wonderful vistas before me
sigh to touch the universes
I'm where souls are born
grieving not from where I've come
in time my mind conceives a life
born of immortal love

shiver
darker and darker still
runs cold the water deeper
Lingers love, but it is outshone
surrender to the loneliness
shivers the doubt to feel you once more
increasing fear it will never be
conniving heart seeking redemption
from my cast-off state
staring into the emptiness of fate
fatal need I need too much
greedy understanding there was always something
So clever about you
Stroking your ego only boosted mine
selfish love ever lies
narcissistic lust with chaotic ties bind

echoes the silence
singing to silence I sigh
forgotten vows and broken promises
echo in my thoughts
once you shine in my mind
then time fades the glow
loneliness and emptiness where you once stood
There will never be another like you
devilish need inside the painful memories
happiness laughing in the rain
sorrow covets and sadness hugs herself
a child I can't console
my broken heart can't mend
in the eternal rift, there will always be a you and me
Big tears roll down my face
as thoughts of your beauty astound me
...

crazy
Bleeding Epiphany, it's always been you
sorrow stated my heart sinks thinking of losing you
sadness wells and my thoughts search for yours
reading between the lines, as always
Looking for that immortal, I love you
touching dandelion dreams
I'm sick with the feeling I'll never see you again
never read your word play
that you'll disappear as quickly as you appeared
revealing yourself then going under into a hidden realm
where I can't seek
pixels and dots, you are all that I imagine
a lover I can believe in
