Punishment

When sorrow fills the void
I torment those I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore

To live beyond death is like occupying someone else's room.

Orgy of Death

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

Grief Lives After We Die

As I die
mortals watch the day
crying for eternity
embrace your hand in mine
daylight torn
pity the sadness
no forgiveness
forever be
burning me

Restrained

I am nothing
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision

The Forgotten

Curse the sunrise
To sleep eternally
Lost kingdom of darkness
Centuries old
Eternal tragedy
Embrace the emptiness
Dissolve in sorrow

red petal flowers

muddled,
red petal
flowers
bright
and dried,
using
the paint
from
her veins.

What?

I don’t actually know what to say

I don’t know what to write

I’m just in shock.

Exit Stage Left

Looking outside and inside
Pressures,
Barriers,

PANIC!!

Today is a fine day to escape
Morals are broken
Unknown mystery to my fate

Accept my soul as I release,
Wishing for everlasting peace

Senryu - Ponder 8

This life, but a clause
in an infinite sentence
death is not full stop
