Cloaked Penumbra
It was often true that I had trouble sleeping
in my youth, closing my eyes meant
monsters already present
or entering my room, my dreams
I unwillingly have to entertain
The dark, I’ve never truly been afraid of
there’s a kind of beauty within
absence of nearly all light
today it’s almost as if I can see in the dark
so have I overcome the darkness
of the night? Maybe.
Maybe not as I still have trouble sleeping
but not because I’m afraid
to lower my eyelids.

Only Her
Im sick with knowing that its been me
I am the one who has brought this woman to her knees
Who has stripped all happiness from her eyes
Who offered this body up on a platter
to vicious men who didnt know how to even love themselves
much less care enough to handle her gently
And it was love
All along it was always love that she was in pursuit after
Forever searching losing pieces of herself along the way
willing to sacrifice her very damn soul to find
But she never did
In dark empty and silent rooms she would find herself

Darkness
And I'll leave it at that.
let you ponder what else it could mean
if it even needs to mean anything else at all
parting skin and faith
tomorrow; a dream short lived.
Entrenched in defense
of a home soon to be demolished
of a love yet to be admonished
of a betrayal premonished.
breeding cycles of constant noise
behind the veil of a supplemented sigh
my thoughts race in-between bloodletting
and a foreboding sense of chimeric fear.
what am I to entropy, but a figment of a fragment

Zomb
rail against the night: take flight in deadly sin
Obscure your scene and take note of me
romancing a moment within the heated need
Bespelled by the Master of Metal
whose guitar riffs deliver
a driving beat to pound the nails
of your unholy crucifixion
Dreaded scorn, you are adored
Raging against the norm with visions told
seen on the aether, the demons teem willingly
Through the screen, magic is cast
a metal blasphemy
Enter the jackals who wish to emulate you
No one can ever claim your Sadistic reign

dark artist channeling mischief
confusing, dark, it's an art to interpret
Thick with intent, it approaches
Don't show fear, better not
They will disrespect you
Make fun of your image
slander your name
lingo with a powerful accent
hell has its own spirit
My succubus license is granted
and ready to fly
The Master of the place is a stern man
My magic pure I pour out into the elements
rising on the aether
I'm going cariousing arousing the dread
Speaking in a language not understood by mortals
Evil is stunting wicked epiphany

morbid
insidious need, I did grieve inside me
With dreaded grace, did fumble
Hateful understanding, my thoughts grew dark
Bleak in nature, they haunt
a morbid creature of little interest
spoke of my dismal state like I wasn't there
you oddling of faith
better off erased
My vision blurred, and I stared at my accuser
Who, with gleaful teeth, did rend my flesh
Sad honesty, my truth told in scars upon my body
The monster bold
The craving wraith spoke on
My demise tasty, it watched as I wither

deeper
Disastrous thoughts collide within me
to face it head-on or bury it
a thistle of thorns, my cloud
My happiness, taken by an awful feeling
shrouded in gloom, it picks
Dreaded doom, it flowers
It's anxiety's trick and power
terrorizing my peace of mind
Thoughts of a dangerous nature threaten
My soul huddles against it
It's unnatural how homey the dark feels
honesties glare burns
hideous understanding
I am the devil of my own making
crisis of faith turns me mute
With nothing to answer against it ...
to face it head-on or bury it
a thistle of thorns, my cloud
My happiness, taken by an awful feeling
shrouded in gloom, it picks
Dreaded doom, it flowers
It's anxiety's trick and power
terrorizing my peace of mind
Thoughts of a dangerous nature threaten
My soul huddles against it
It's unnatural how homey the dark feels

Warning EXTREME : "8 Mins was enough for a Muppet HELL!"
Ok funny bunnies....here we go,
Fozzie bear smashed to cheese wiz out the
window...
Gonzo liked this so much his masturbatory
gland kicked in. Piggy my sweet seasoned
with his seeds deep from within.
Henson rolling in his grave like a spit-skewer
with a hell of a flame. Muppet Hell was where
he went I miss his voice now what a shame.
Beeker and bunson with their strange and otherworldly
James Bond :Q: Tech. Making another strange invention
that goes on the war path and cracks their fuzzy
stringy...

forget
Darkness Bane, my hurt is insane
curled into a ball, I balk
With shivers of madness, I tremble
Sleek with regret, I stutter
needful cage of a somber tone
Releasing these feelings, necessary
My keenness can be felt deeply
If you listen to the silent weep
Cloistered vision, I'm hard on myself
There is no value
incessant laughter says I'm a failure
unkempt rebellion I slack
Where I should be taught
speaking expletives into being
even those not heard of
because they reside in me
words formed...

fret
Darkness dread, my fear is fed
In the gothic gloom, squander
Feelings take a toll
expending them freely
leaves one with a dull ache
emptiness ensues with fretful thoughts
I'm not liked of this, I'm sure
spurned affections answer for me
Little lady, so bare
Cover your nakedness
a multitude of imperfections we see
needful redemption afflicted sorrow
Be it now or on the morrow
When you realize your folly
incessant chatter rankles my nerves
It's as if the bleak is giving a sermon
to which there is...

Wrap It Up
I'm the Trojan horse,
And my daughter is about to pop out.
Like Samara from the screen.
Will she make you scream?
I'm a broken horse,
My daughter rides me all about.
Everytime she sings,
I'll jump cliffs in traffic rings.
I'm her magic horse.
My daughter's wishes are my command.
Let's open up the earth,
And trap you all within.
I'm a wooden horse.
For my daughter to play in.
Harass me to the core.
I'm her loyal companion.
And my daughter is about to pop out.
Like Samara from the screen.
Will she make you scream?
I'm a broken horse,
My daughter rides me all about.
Everytime she sings,
I'll jump cliffs in traffic rings.
I'm her magic horse.
My daughter's wishes are my command.
Let's open up the earth,
And trap you all within.
I'm a wooden horse.
For my daughter to play in.
Harass me to the core.
I'm her loyal companion.

Our Flat Earth
Old gods of yore, a sky wizard, and the serfs of flerf
Unicorns, dragons, and the centaurs of our flat Earth
Reside as one, but not united, as the doubters probe
Fabricating, their absurd reality, based upon a globe
Let them not fool us all, with ancient pseudoscience
As they lead us, like sheep, let us show our defiance
They'll drip feed, the insanity, of an alternative home
Even though, that the truth is, we exist under a dome
Albeit, we're as sane as Dionysus and talking snakes
Remember there're malicious agents, if god forsakes
They're...
