Consumes
A prison of gloom,
I'm begging.
I'm pleading.
Give something that'll bloom.
Oh, Lord, it's empty,
I'm saturated in nothingness,
Yet, everything at once,
I'm overwhelmed by plenty.
Writhe in confusion,
Thrash in fury,
I really can't keep this up,
I need a solution.
I'm being consumed,
The void terrifies me,
An abyss to escape,
"Too far gone," like I presumed.

This cacophony of thoughts
penetrate my core
(as I disembowel myself
on your thorn-clad
embrace) infecting
this already darkened
soul with delicious oblivion,
when velvet night brushes
fingers
along
my
spine,
skin blissfully crawls
as vestigial light
diminishes,
this baptism of dysphoria constrains
a love of the disposable,
meaningless provides the escape
of ill fated promises.

Of Madness and Saffron - with Grace
In the labyrinth of my mind echoing footsteps
rebelling against the lords of insanity
dark academia from Mozart to Beethoven
like skulls with candles and ravens with keys
as your flesh becomes the rapture of my love
with decadent essence of madness and saffron
listening to the echoes of your steps
walking away on sludge towards wisdom light
against cacophonous sounds of dark protest
stay with me says lustful inky darkness
rains of blackness no velvety softness
and you drown in soul-searing loving
of the insidious kind.

Tasting Beau
Spawning the memories in my head of poetic
intimacy and sadomasochism obsession being
my bread and caviar buggering the genre of my
mind getting under my skin and unnerving my sins
while tasting my beau and listening to echoes
eating my toes

The Scream
There’s a scream inside of each of us
You release it just one time
It comes out when your heart breaks
And this scream will break your mind
It comes from deep within you
Hidden deep inside your soul
It’s dormant while you smile
I hope this scream you’ll never know
The sound is dark and primal
It will shake the walls around you
It’s like you’ve met a demon
And the devil he has found you
And once this scream escapes you
Consider this your end
The scream it kills a part of you
You’ll never be the same...
You release it just one time
It comes out when your heart breaks
And this scream will break your mind
It comes from deep within you
Hidden deep inside your soul
It’s dormant while you smile
I hope this scream you’ll never know
The sound is dark and primal
It will shake the walls around you
It’s like you’ve met a demon
And the devil he has found you
And once this scream escapes you
Consider this your end
The scream it kills a part of you
You’ll never be the same...

Turf Cutter's Mortar
In fields of naked bones of the turf cutter's mortar
a dark clod of the earth past the curfew's border
inhaling the veil of death's cold pale
embryos in silence waiting to change the order
festering beneath the cold moon's goiter
a dark clod of the earth past the curfew's border
inhaling the veil of death's cold pale
embryos in silence waiting to change the order
festering beneath the cold moon's goiter

Pick Me Up
I’ve been down lately
sorry I haven’t been
around lately
checked out mentally
letting shit get to me
feeling like
everything is out, to get to me
pick me up
cos i’m falling
pick me up
and i’m sorry to keep calling
to unload my shit on you
but know that
you can do the same to me too
i’ll be there
pick me up
because right now
i’m at my lowest
and i’m hoping that
no one will notice
but from the mud
i will grow
like the lotus
from the pain
i will rise from the ashes...

The Monster Within
Pt. 1 Equidistant
Prologue 0
There was once a girl chained to a monster. One black and grizzly like a bear, except it wasn’t.
It was a demon. The poor soul’s name was Alia. Her mother was a witch, but they blamed a 13-year old girl for the mother’s problems. It was always her fault. Abused and abandoned, she went to a man who had killed 10 people. His name was Darryl Edward McMillan aka the devil. He wore a black robe and hid his beauty from the world due to the harassment he’d get from women. He was not interested in just any women, only her. She was the purest in all the...

Hiding My Pain
Hiding My Pain
I thought that I could let it go
This pain I have inside
I thought I could release it all
Relief to a crazed mind
I thought in time it’d go away
Just fade like memories
This pain is changing who I am
Not who I used to be
I miss when smiles came with ease
Cause now they just feel forced
I miss the way I loved freely
To trust is now a curse
I feel that I am juggling me
The old one with the new
Pretending that I am okay
This lie is now my truth
The secrets they keep...
I thought that I could let it go
This pain I have inside
I thought I could release it all
Relief to a crazed mind
I thought in time it’d go away
Just fade like memories
This pain is changing who I am
Not who I used to be
I miss when smiles came with ease
Cause now they just feel forced
I miss the way I loved freely
To trust is now a curse
I feel that I am juggling me
The old one with the new
Pretending that I am okay
This lie is now my truth
The secrets they keep...

The Dark Is...
The dark is, most times,
soothing to be with
late at night.
He'll deny the light of things
I don't want to talk about;
bribe the sun to come back later.
When the hurt tries to breach
he slides a key in the lock,
places a keep out sign
over the door.
He calms the waters inside
stirred by life.
Dries my drenched sadness.
And when the sun must intrude;
when it shouts to be let in,
he filibusters, delays the inevitable.
But in the meantime
he helped find missing...
soothing to be with
late at night.
He'll deny the light of things
I don't want to talk about;
bribe the sun to come back later.
When the hurt tries to breach
he slides a key in the lock,
places a keep out sign
over the door.
He calms the waters inside
stirred by life.
Dries my drenched sadness.
And when the sun must intrude;
when it shouts to be let in,
he filibusters, delays the inevitable.
But in the meantime
he helped find missing...

Withered Hair
Autumn's withering hair falls
fading into tomorrow's peignoir
lost in stillness among the dark
as twilight is my caviar
spread thickly in a silent shawl
from the shadows of the urn I recall
Autumn's withering hair falls
fading into tomorrow's peignoir
lost in stillness among the dark
as twilight is my caviar
spread thickly in a silent shawl
from the shadows of the urn I recall
Autumn's withering hair falls

Rag Bones
In the darkness I wander, rag bones
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones
festooned with garlands of peat and weeds
pawn to a knave answering the Piper's call
close to the vest listening to her chest
exorcising the corset in her atheist bed
listening to her scream for rag bones
from her anatomy, I silence her dead
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones
festooned with garlands of peat and weeds
pawn to a knave answering the Piper's call
close to the vest listening to her chest
exorcising the corset in her atheist bed
listening to her scream for rag bones
from her anatomy, I silence her dead
a ghost in the night in an orchard of stones
