A SONNET FOR LILITH
Tonight the forlorn raven sang
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...
Upon my quill and parchment
The gallows call to me
To take my place
Inside my shallow grave
So brackish, the vermin
Swarm over me
Beneath the hanging tree
I vomited blood on the page
As a sonnet set to flame
Lilith is the succubus of my dreams
As the haunted moon crests those pregnant skies
The wolves rending the night with winter screams
Worrying the quivering flesh tonight
Weep not for Lilith worship her instead
As nocturnal beasts fall under her...

Surrender- with the talented Crimsin
Destroyed, She clutched her mangled heart,
unaware the darkness was listening.
Oh humble day, cast not your eyes upon this darkling
true.
Who now saunters admist the shadows.
In the tempest of it all, her pain is lovely.
A starless night vibrates with sinister stirrings,
abysmal echoing, talk of a great love stolen.
Beholden to her deepest heart's desires.
Fate proved cruel and took away her love forever.
Drenched in tears, she lay crippled,
in a maze of eternal why's.
Lost to the world she keens, she thought...
unaware the darkness was listening.
Oh humble day, cast not your eyes upon this darkling
true.
Who now saunters admist the shadows.
In the tempest of it all, her pain is lovely.
A starless night vibrates with sinister stirrings,
abysmal echoing, talk of a great love stolen.
Beholden to her deepest heart's desires.
Fate proved cruel and took away her love forever.
Drenched in tears, she lay crippled,
in a maze of eternal why's.
Lost to the world she keens, she thought...

Tempest and Aftermath
Association, apex to nadir,
may soften concepts held of others’ fate,
but only if the mind discriminate,
and learn extremes have charlatan and seer.
With crude insight, thoughts fail to fuse, they shear,
the crest, the trough, excesses common trait,
or seem if one won’t differentiate,
then rudderless the waves control and steer.
The calms of norms, once spurned, unveil their charm,
akin to whiling hours in reverie,
but middle ground is too a sought for place.
To guide a ship through storms must raise alarm,
now in dry dock,...

time,
running
like it's going downhill
like the freaking
hour glass has shattered
sand pouring out
tic-toc...tic-toc
double time
hip-hop
ice cream
on a hot summer's day
drip drip drip
no way to stop it
lickety split
jambalaya
tuck and roll...
What else can I say?

Red carver chair .
How can an empty chair give me
All the characteristics of your face
Your white wisps of hair , unruly ,
In defiance . Age may of made you
Confused and at times subdued.
But your physical features stood
As a reminder of all the life you had
Lived , I swear I still see your aqua
Lagoon eyes glinting at me as a
Playful trick , no you can’t forget me
That quick , and I don’t . Your chair ,
Upright , no fuss , cushion left as it
Was when you perched there , legs
Languishing I felt in quiet despair
Not giving up...

Fate’s complexion
Taking deep breaths
And truly feeling each one
From the depths of despair
To lands fare
Undone
A simple allegiance
Wherefore to forfend
Shaping the visions
All tempters portend
Unsure of the surroundings
Enfolding me now
The ceiling
Is of darkness
The ground
Unfound
Chiseling away the facade
That has tapered my light
Pallid reflections
Of a prevalent fight
My palette
Of perception
A generous collection
A thousand shades of a painting
Creates fate’s complexion
And truly feeling each one
From the depths of despair
To lands fare
Undone
A simple allegiance
Wherefore to forfend
Shaping the visions
All tempters portend
Unsure of the surroundings
Enfolding me now
The ceiling
Is of darkness
The ground
Unfound
Chiseling away the facade
That has tapered my light
Pallid reflections
Of a prevalent fight
My palette
Of perception
A generous collection
A thousand shades of a painting
Creates fate’s complexion

Radioactive Narcissism
sick of riding this seesaw
up down up down
getting dizzy
wanna barf
thinking about my cosmic balance sheet
and the evil that I've done
I'm running in the red
but I never meant to harm
oh well
it is what it is
but I really hope I'm not
reincarnated as a cockroach
all though
surviving nuclear annihilation's a plus
up down up down
getting dizzy
wanna barf

and the evil that I've done
I'm running in the red

The Crier
The Crier stands there, on the platform, overlooking the darkness, toward where our legends say, our saviour waits for a true soul to call him to wakefulness. The crier is a big man, full of life, but in a strange way, he and I are similar. He is to try just one more time to waken our Saviour with his "soul call". If he fails he may never return to try again. Tonight will be my last watch, the lung eaters that come out of the darkness have slowly but surely destroyed my lungs and now it is only time before I can no longer breath and I will pass on to my reward. I am not sorry that this will...
