Ancient wraps whisper.
Time entombed in shadowed breath.
Eternity waits.

To Die Again
For those I hate
Fucking hell
Beneath the skin
An open wound
Thirsty for blood
Hunger for flesh
Scattered carnage
Wriggling torsos
Pungent, infested disease
Brain candy for dessert
Vomiting repugnance
To die again
Fucking hell
Beneath the skin
An open wound
Thirsty for blood
Hunger for flesh
Scattered carnage
Wriggling torsos
Pungent, infested disease
Brain candy for dessert
Vomiting repugnance
To die again

She Got Conned Into Doing Snuff Films
Dad kept saying he's sorry.
Their argument made her leave.
The cops found her dead naked corpse.

I miss you
I had a secret to share with you
How you would smile
And say
You silly
But you are not
The cold death took over you
And I talk to the wall.
How you would smile

On Her Knees Crying Scarlet Tears
After leaving work,
Lisa saw a woman on
her knees crying scarlet tears.
Lisa lifted her
up and saw with shock that she
had no eyes before she lunged.

The Guy On The Drums
The guy on the drums
was my brother. He
enjoyed the perks of
rock stardom until he
enjoyed the one known
as drugs too much.

Deep Within
As my mind reflects
voices from within
tell me to soul search
a personal energy
that resonates
changing my perspective
as multiple beings
alert me when my time will end

Each Time I Look At The Picture
Each time I look at
the picture of you
with that smile, it
hurts to miss you
so much even today.
A year ago today,
a drunk driver
murdered you.

Dumbstruck
darkness draws so close
I should have something to say
still, I remain mute

You in the photo
You existed yesterday
Today you are not
You come and shout in my face
It is easy to understand
I am an angel
In this fleeting world.
Today you are not

Daisies Lullaby
Hush little vessel, don't you cry,
Mother's here, to lullaby.
Crescent moon, and daisies white,
A perfect vessel, bathed in light
From shadowed earth, a vessel's rise,
Beneath the crescent, perfect lies
Mother's here, to lullaby.
Crescent moon, and daisies white,
A perfect vessel, bathed in light
From shadowed earth, a vessel's rise,
Beneath the crescent, perfect lies
