LEVIATHAN
Leviathan, oh my sweet charming one
How swiftly you bestowed your spell upon me
With a promise to protect and cherish forever
Claiming lavish innocence and naivete.
My eyes grew scales so I could not see
My ears heard only words of control.
You ravaged my body and took your pleasure
And with that charming smile,
you
killed
my
soul.
How swiftly you bestowed your spell upon me
With a promise to protect and cherish forever
Claiming lavish innocence and naivete.
My eyes grew scales so I could not see
My ears heard only words of control.
You ravaged my body and took your pleasure
And with that charming smile,
you
killed
my
soul.

tin girl
get as far away as hands-
have nails, the perfect tool;
to create or destroy;
i enjoy the thought of it.
you see, i did it again.
i let in coolant and motor oil;
it juices and lubricates;
i am perfect gears and orders.
as i march-
and nothing stops.

Empire of the Greeks
a story, in verse
1
The Sexual Predation in the Empire of the Greeks
Was sated by the slave girls who were owned by the elites
Most thought of it as normal and an owner's sacred right
But not against a freeborn, lest one tempt the Empire's might!
2
A Young Man born of privilege began to sow his seed
The princesses he pillaged were not victims of his need
For they, too, craved indulgence for lascivious desire
Except the saintly daughter of a man who ranked much higher
3
These ladies whispered rumors...

Imperial Scales
Seven circles, seven snakes
seven heads and seven tails
locked in their embrace
seven crowns of emerald
with red eyes and tongues
made for those who adjudicate
when retribution comes.
Rev 12:3

Twilight's Deary
Of solace in twilight's deary
in shadows beyond my weary
dark and eerie my query
of silence in death's theory
miming life's harakiri
in the lord's presbytery
in shadows beyond my weary
dark and eerie my query
of silence in death's theory
miming life's harakiri
in the lord's presbytery

Ingenue
With seventy shades of the night as darkness falls
in my mind's masquerade ball with a shadow
deeper than a blue lip-biting ingenue
from the twilight moon's melancholia
with memories of flesh and scenarios
leaving fifty cents for your soul
with seventy shades of the night as darkness falls
in my mind's masquerade ball with a shadow
deeper than a blue lip-biting ingenue
from the twilight moon's melancholia
with memories of flesh and scenarios
leaving fifty cents for your soul
with seventy shades of the night as darkness falls

Needing To Eat
From the shadows I watched as they created their spark
He was standing to close to her, plotting away in the dark
I listened to words describing the perfect meal
He spoke of her beauty and how they should truly feel
With luminous eyes I did spy on them having dinner in the bye and bye
Attempts were made to save them, I mean I really did try
Only their bye and bye was full of deceit and not destined to end as sweet
As they ate, I realized that Hate needed to eat
The sipping of the wine, one mouthful ate at a time
Captured in...

Fault To Be Embraced
Your atonement
Hadn't come to past
For the crows nip
Tear away
Pull apart
The meat from bone
That once was you.
You were slowly turning
Every shade of blue.
I know why
The world sat upon you
Crushing you
Killing you
All your sin
Needing redemption
Repentance
Now you are just food
For the crows.
Living life in shadow
A never turn about
A wrong that could be right
Left out of light
Taken with you
Into the midnights hour
The caressing shadow ...
Hadn't come to past

Dark's Misdemeanors.
Spooky as it sounds, ghosts live in my coffee grinder as the burrs become my insomnia, brewing my nightmares, staining my teeth. Giving rise to the dark's misdemeanors."
Time to chill wearing a coat of the underground six steps downs putting ice in my coffee with the many faces of Maybelline looking back at me in the mirror as I pout leaving lips stains. "Good to the last drop."
The first sign of caffeine addiction came when cappuccino made me snarly. Giving up my sugar for the taste of the dark bean. Starbucks became my second home. Forfeiting my godliness for the...

The spiderweb frozen
Surrounded by a deafening system
punch bag rules
dirt boots
echo
Numinous beings
fall from his words
chameleon skinned
a mask of sanity
transcribed fingerprints
a fist of emptiness
in the hearth fire
of Xathanel
Zathael
your name
means given
by god
cherubs hold divine mirage

(…)
There is a Heaven, a God to undo.
I will bury their ruins around you.
You will say I am mad when you see me
Feast on the rats they call angels on bended knee.
Something is waiting for lovers like we
Beyond this paradise of light and debris.
The fallen towers and the souls of woe,
On the wind weeping, flutter to and fro—
Their wings unto tearstains buried,
On the air where they are carried
Upon the sights in the lightless eyes
Of the dead awaiting their destinies.
You knew I must die as well,
