Heavy is the Head (part 2)
Revolt, Revolt, Revolt
He screeched from under insect-stained boots
Winds of inferno licking his wounds
The Serpent Bitch Hound giving live birth, on display for tittering subjects.
Her entrails exposed and entwined with her fresh, hateful brood
Ready to take the stinking world by storm.
He screeched from under insect-stained boots
Winds of inferno licking his wounds
The Serpent Bitch Hound giving live birth, on display for tittering subjects.
Her entrails exposed and entwined with her fresh, hateful brood
Ready to take the stinking world by storm.

Heavy is the Head (part 1)
My cheekbones ingest him
The weight of his molecules, his chains
The suffering, my tribute
Feast for days on his rancid architecture
When his eyes are sunken, his gums pale, his sheets pink and red and swarmed with infection - I am lusty with my devouring
Heavy and drunken is my head with spirits and metals.
The weight of his molecules, his chains
The suffering, my tribute
Feast for days on his rancid architecture
When his eyes are sunken, his gums pale, his sheets pink and red and swarmed with infection - I am lusty with my devouring
Heavy and drunken is my head with spirits and metals.

Merging
Hahaha you think that you know submission, but don't know what submission is
Playing games of torture and torment, but imagine this as a way you truly living
Pleasure through pain, pain seeking pleasure, a fractured arm falling from the crib
A few more falls add up to a broken jaw and two broken ribs
Deprivation suits, imagine forced deprivation being three and locked in a closet
You're so fucking scared and all of hell knows it
One by one they come to visit you all through out the night
By the time Satan visits he's like a ray of sunlight
...

Momma’s Voice
Hush your mouth!
Momma is singing,
and I wanna hear
her voice ringing.
Echoing off the tile,
flowing out the crack of the door—
carried on the back of steam,
I’m covered by Momma’s roar.
Hush your mouth!
Momma is praying
and I wanna hear
every word she’s saying.
With my ear pressed against
the crack in this wall,
I can hear my Momma’s
desperate call.
I close my eyes,
and can see it all,
to her knees she’ll
hopelessly fall.
Out she cries
to her God, her...
Momma is singing,

With my ear pressed against

The Ways of a Black Heart
( prose poetry )
Why have you cowered for so long? Leniency reigned through his tender years, it’s all he’s ever known, you can’t blame him.
Yet now you call upon an army, to bring reason down to bear, and also raise up, to wake up! But it’s not meant to happen that way and that’s why it never does. A half-hearted intervention.
You and his father think that outsiders alone will and should pick up your mess? To lay down the law to a boy who you’ve instilled in him a sense of privilege - of entitlement?
Who does that and still tells...

The Elder
in a bed
of loose
and shifting soil
she was easy
pickings
shiny hair
pulled too tight
in pigtails she hated,
by a mother
who spared no thought
to her comfort
~appearances~
are everything, you know;
with a pair
of onyx eyes
she was striking,
sharp and wise
beyond her years
with an already jaded
understanding of pain;
her barely pubescent body
somehow built...

The double sided coin
Where in the dark corners
Is someone lurking, an evil nerd
A malevolence dressed with pretty words
And charm so well adorned
Surfing all the chatrooms
Looking for a prey
At the ready night or day
The evening and the afternoon
Ready whith the comb and brush
A gratification of a hidden key
Of our small secrets, shared to keep
Expose a patch of pinkish flesh
A friend, an understanding ear
To smooth the lies and traps
The fiend with the pull, elastic snap
Reveal a little more my dear
I have...

Polluted
Those summer days
Seem so distant now
Since innocence was polluted
No devil in appearance
A sinister chameleon
Everyone’s favourite uncle
A jovial soul
Yet the darkness behind the smile
Was always there
Could be smelled in his sewer breath
Tainted bloodlines
The poisonous heart
Of a deceptive corrupter
Tasting tears of the young ones
Under the façade of comforting
The bitter cold of your touch
Burning pain
The dirty guilty secret
That was forced in reality
Gave...

Familiar Demon
He was always near
Since I was a child, he hunted me
I could not see him creeping
A sweet and pretty girl, so naive
Invading my mind
Taking over what I was thinking
Promised to remove the ropes
I followed him into this world of pain
But ropes were replaced with shackles
My bed sheets were like a crime scene
Once inside, I could never be set free
Only my face, my name remained
No one else noticed the change
He said you chose this path of sin
You are better than her
Lurking in the mirror
A familiar demon stares back...
Since I was a child, he hunted me
I could not see him creeping
A sweet and pretty girl, so naive
Invading my mind
Taking over what I was thinking
Promised to remove the ropes
I followed him into this world of pain
But ropes were replaced with shackles
My bed sheets were like a crime scene
Once inside, I could never be set free
Only my face, my name remained
No one else noticed the change
He said you chose this path of sin
You are better than her
Lurking in the mirror
A familiar demon stares back...
