yummy
I've noticed you, yeah I see
my darkness read the note on the wall
I feel you in waves
do you feel me?
I'm bringing the heat
just call me Raven
I enter the room commanding attention
all my demons get in line
if you cut me yeah I'll flinch
I might even scream
talk of blood lust and my demons are moaning
did I forget to tell you legion is a part of me?
my entourage and guardians
sinister smiles and you have my attention
take your time pushing all of my buttons
go deeper into my manifesto ...

Berserker Brothers
here we go...
hunt with stealth oh brotherhood
bring down the hypocrites who sit in judgement falsely
with a wide swing cut their words from their mouths
leering at you like they know better
and don't forget lest history repeat itself
they struck first
my blood beats with passion
anger stirs and I swallow
releasing it in the aether
letting darkness hunt itself
calling down principalities
elitist cunts with prejudice
I call on favors from the immortal
to bring down the giant
we rise and fall ...

ex
the hiss of the door as it shut unnerved me
I knew it had closed for good
the devil witness your departure
he was first to tell me I was alone
a mistress of fate took you
it was fate she should be there when I faltered
I loved you but not enough
she saw different sides of you
found them endearing
where I was irritated
I looked at you through her eyes
I envied
time wasn't on my side
with bitter tears I look in the mirror
ravaged with age
I look the part of an ex wife
shrewish woman full of regret ...

come dark fall talk to me
in the energy I feel you escalating
midnights hearken my soul
entertaining dragons I scour the night
sadistic tastes reveal themselves
I come closer to the cold
peering in to see what stirs
desire awakens with a quick intake of breath
crushing feelings reveal themselves
I turn he has his eyes on me
there is nowhere left to hide
bidden deeper in
I come forward
little confessions are said in ritual
sanctified innocence tasting the cruel air
silently the darkness...

inverted
black of night please see me
a Queen of nothing reeling
suspicion peaks and I realize
anger paralyzes while the truth bites
cutting to the core scalpel sharp
exorcising the venom
darkness glean fact from fiction
inside the gloom I'm in good company
secrets of value whispered on the air
invoking honesty in valor's keep
bring the bleak to its knees
send on the winds riders of faith
ripping down the towers of doom
climb the night oh faithful few
onyx reality in crimson hues
blackest night be thou...

he daemon
insidious creature of lust
bit into the mind and there thrived
fondling my innermost secrets
and fingering my soul
it triggers the undoing
falling in on myself and scream
foul is the way of the he demon
darkness guile in the body of a whore
spouting nonsensical treachery
in the ways of love...deadly
sinister words to leave lonely
inside myself wither
darkness takes its time plucking
the heart of the broken
it hurts to be so open
bad scene when one gets dumped on
bit into the mind and there thrived
fondling my innermost secrets
and fingering my soul
it triggers the undoing

lust
intense feelings spill
hits the page and takes life
entering the zone with heat
down in the soul vibe
setting the stage in color
onyx and deep reds
lingers on the air...risk
taking my time to talk to you
sending energy from my body to yours
kinetically arousing your senses
titillating your mind
giving you kisses
stroking your intellect you rise
ascending to the next level of greed
tasting desire in vowels and consonants
words of seduction...foreplay
passion peaks and we're taken there ...

fantasy
fantasies loom
my vision blurs and I'm in that space
feeling expression
internal obsession
in my own mind a goddess
lingers the fascination
tantalizing my thoughts
greedy need fornicates
a whore of want
phantoms of desire enter
into my dreams they appear
specters of chance then vanish
I seduce the passion
held hostage to fate
alone on a journey of discovery
vulnerable the stars my only covering
I climb my thoughts
to find just the right words
to express myself
my vision blurs and I'm in that space
feeling expression
internal obsession
in my own mind a goddess
lingers the fascination
tantalizing my thoughts
greedy need fornicates
a whore of want
phantoms of desire enter
into my dreams they appear
specters of chance then vanish
I seduce the passion
held hostage to fate
alone on a journey of discovery
vulnerable the stars my only covering
I climb my thoughts
to find just the right words
to express myself

liar
twisted truths...
lies speak in the craters of guilt
your words betray you
agonizing mutiny...cuts
inside your worry die a little
it stings but nothing to do but wait
caught in omission's glare you stew
filthy late night epiphany doesn't mean a thing
a dirty soul talks loudest
your sin stutters
cry in the dark of night
to an uncaring void
nothing better than honesty
a clear conscious
evil desires your silent death
solemnly your thoughts turn ugly
eating away your heart
in...

want
greed is in the air
I take a breath
swallow it down
and taste the energy
I reach inside pulling on emotion
a flicker then burn
it hurts to be this close to you
my sated lusts speak truths
I'm not myself apart from you
I hold the pain tight
it feels good
tease the cruelty
speak parables of broken faith
we aren't good for each other
I know the facts
but our fiction is better than reality
I watch on in still life
black and white liability
caution be damned
I want you ...

ill
my paranoia stuck and I said mean things
hurtful words that stung
very delusional I was swinging at imaginary assassins
I shouldn't have been on site
this was my hiding place
I was trying to cover it up in my day to day
cover up how bad off I was
this place was the only place I had to let things out
I look over those words now
and I know they aren't who I really am
I felt attacked, politics were bad at that time
my broken mind latched on
I thought I was dealing with an alien intelligence
I was so very sick

stutter
time spins and i relent
the tale of an anxiety victim
by the minute, on the hour
bend then break a little
it hurts to be this raw
vulnerable in societal circles
I am better off alone
a lonely reject of no one real
my biggest enemies are all in my head
I seek to silence them
my voices can be cruel
pushing buttons to end the manic laughter
this one that one to no avail
a moment of release then it begins again
a slight annoyance then something big
prodding me within
my stomach clenches and I...
