Whispers in the Dark

Darkness whispers
Flies circle, secrets hide
Silent steps, shadows entangle
Fear reigns

I hear you talking in your sleep
I hear you talking
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you

The Big Gone
One moment of silence
naked in bones
and then...the big gone
dark begins beyond the grave
without a shadow
in poetic chaos...the big gone
swallowing the dead
naked in bones
and then...the big gone
dark begins beyond the grave
without a shadow
in poetic chaos...the big gone
swallowing the dead

crying in vain...
insanity
mourning the living...
undead
poached by the sun
blisters that burn
carrion for the canary...

The Spell Cast
Construing akin
Immovable glimpse
Confusion and witch
With Lucifer's wish
Congruently synced
A moonlit distinct
Unusual pit
Deluding to lips
Allusions of sin
In-lieu of a kiss

I am serious
I am serious
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now
Don't make a fool
Of yourself
When you are talking to me
We are all
Brothers in heaven
Yes my Father
Made all of us
The earth is our
Temporally home
For now

Cocooning
Lost in the vapors swooning
harnessed to be wed
soft breath on lurid thighs
haunting delirious chastity
with claustrophobic eyes
neath the tapestry on the bed
tamed by the flattery...

Indifference of Flesh
How callous my flesh is,
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell
to writhe in agony,
indifferent to their torment.
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell
to writhe in agony,

Sanguine Plumule
Weeping tarnished pearls
For the sprout in anguish
Seeking my shelter
That harms her instead
These aren’t my wails
They’re hers
Inflicted by my green thumb
Withering the fragile
Sanguine plumule
For the sprout in anguish
Seeking my shelter
That harms her instead
These aren’t my wails
They’re hers
Inflicted by my green thumb
Withering the fragile
Sanguine plumule

About to Expire
She's dead to the touch
Dead to the words written meaninglessly on this site
Dead to the eyes she looks through
She sees her reflection six feet under
