The Space Beyond The Clouds
The Space Between The Words
Those blue spires within blue clouds
where winged angels roam the heavens
and between the gaping void of the cliffs
the winds blow an eolian anthem
and the cosmic eternal whole lays his hand.
the rocky tips challenging the deep firmament
sending their muted calls to space, beyond..
and down on earth, wanders a sylvan spirit
between the aging trees, a murmur is heard
the forest whispers a spotless, timeless tune
of ghouls and of the past lore of the true world
a cavern...

Gee, Zeus
Christ was Greek all along it seems;
errata in the name:
or translative Semitic schemes
and inter-tribal blame...
from one sky god to another
and that which they revere
soon estranged one from the other
a little more each year.
Then Babel towers rose again
for litanies of abstract love
from monolithic ape like men,
and, the insularity thereof...
whereby we got such diverse gods
to meet all mortal needs
like vanquishing with rifle squads...
the meek and all their creeds.

The Devil Himself
His ability to play the role so well,
Like he never laid the script upon the shelf
the mannerisms of royalty and class
his wine glass smoking from the heat
should've been a reason to guess
That....
They accidentally hired the Devil to play himself
His words carried weight,
I saw the audience floating from seat to extremist
it was beautiful destruction of common sense
perverse were the words but perfect stood his form
That gilded smile...
is what took the world by storm...

Lucky
The tensions were rising
We were arguing
I don't know about what
I ran outside
The sky was full of planes
I saw one in flames, shot
It was then with horror
That i realised
We were at war
I ran back inside
To shocked to speak, petrified
I collapsed to the floor
The terror coursed through me
This nightmare had come true
The brutality of man
Kill slay, kill murder
Ultimate destruction
As he resorts to his nuclear plan
I knew there, and then
This was the beginning
Of the end ...

Dazzling radiance

At the top of the glacier, where the snow blindness is already changing. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Fata Morgana can't surprise you, things change.
Not even high-frequency wailing can destroy you.
In the eyes that you don't really have anymore.
A mute force strikes.
You can't defend yourself, you go to your knees.
The beam shines in your face, you have no choice.

a holy night
A holy night
Along a broken wall, dead children lay a few minutes
ago they have been sitting in basements somewhere
playing hide and seek, when bombs found targets,
those who do tally said 500 infants were blown into the air
like rag-dolls on a festive day.
The guilty ones of this atrocity blamed the terrorists
who were hiding among the people on a piece of land
overcrowded to breaking point.
In a hollow sat 500 women whose grief was darker than
the night, a sorrow that would, in time, turn to
to pity
at night, the infants...

Birth of a Chaotic Nation (Halloween Syck House Series)
What was coming was so beyond evil it made the Devil shake
He ordered immediately through demonic sacrifice to seal Hell’s gate,
“God even stepped off his magnificent throne
To create an impenetrable barrier around Heaven’s home,
“It was reported as a normal category five Atlantic storm
Which produced a haunting wind that was not the norm,
“Its rain bands made materials fragile like dead leaves
That also amplified the deadly effects of any virus or disease,
“The storm reconfigured into a roaring Tsunami wall ...

Mother of Bones
There it is
The moon
Up high
Suspended
For what seems like years
Before it goes down
Being swallowed
Like medication
So many moon pills
The same color of skeletons
I’ve held in the
Palm of my hand
Miniature in comparison
Resembling the river stones
Embedded in my freshwater veins
The perfect remedy
To help me sleep
And continue to spin
Towards the next day
Towards the sun
My blazing vitamin
Who I absorb daily
Warming all the
Variety of bones
I’ve been...
The moon
Up high
Suspended
For what seems like years
Before it goes down
Being swallowed
Like medication
So many moon pills
The same color of skeletons
I’ve held in the
Palm of my hand
Miniature in comparison
Resembling the river stones
Embedded in my freshwater veins
The perfect remedy
To help me sleep
And continue to spin
Towards the next day
Towards the sun

Who I absorb daily
Warming all the

The Citadel of the Lost Race
- The Citadel of the Lost Race -
The descending of the evening was more sudden, more ferocious than any wild beast of the wastes. It was a curtain of darkness falling upon an already stricken land! The drum-like pounding of thunder was as the beating of the drums of an angry god, and lightning struck the rocks of the desert like forks of a hot fire from some darkly Promethean forge. The sound of the thunder seemed to be growing closer to any who traveled across the region in which this was happening, as lizard-like winged beasts prowled a haunted sky, seeking what scant prey...

They're at it again!
To label The Levant as Holy Land
proves only...the ubiquity of shot,
spent without a care or a second thought
when recrimination is in command,
praising lords and passing ammunition,
and creeds bear only a trigger pull twitch
in sacred ruination bait and switch
avouching an afterlife manumission
in a happily pending hunting ground,
not in the least bit reasonably sound,
as camel needles and bullet holes
pass more dead through...

Que sera sera
The time capsule
speeding into space
betrays us for who we were
A snapshot of burning Earth
godless and greedy
our paradise spurned
So much promise
squandered then lost
at nature's expense
and all we could leave
was the warning
that humans never made sense
speeding into space
betrays us for who we were
A snapshot of burning Earth
godless and greedy
our paradise spurned
So much promise
squandered then lost
at nature's expense
and all we could leave
was the warning
that humans never made sense
