Her Silken Plum
Intimacy in a poetic embrace
from the inkwell's archives
consuming her ash
of smoldering desire...
exhaling
engulfing me with debauchery
into the forgotten intimacy
swallowing her breath
of decadent tongue
into her cold bloodstream
and the cauldron of her womb
melting the wax of my doom
into her silken plum
of the forbidden taste
where her flesh reigns
releasing a storm of oblivion
sealing my fate...

Debauchery
For the sake of propriety in this age of debauchery
rising from the grave not recognizing myself
modesty has run its course with no time for the
carrion or poetic tea and sympathy and the Ravens
will go hungry in this age of debauchery
rising from the grave not recognizing myself

What Lurks
Beneath the moon’s cold, frigid light
Where silence reigns and shadows creep
A nameless terror haunts the night
Its form is lost to mortal sight
Its whispers pierce the dreams of sleep
Beneath the moon’s cold, frigid light
It waits beyond the bounds of right
In depths where icy secrets seep
A nameless terror haunts the night
Its breath is frost, its will a blight
Its hunger vast, its voids run deep
Beneath the moon’s cold, frigid light
No prayer can banish, nor flame ignite
The darkness where its tendrils...
Where silence reigns and shadows creep
A nameless terror haunts the night
Its form is lost to mortal sight
Its whispers pierce the dreams of sleep
Beneath the moon’s cold, frigid light
It waits beyond the bounds of right
In depths where icy secrets seep
A nameless terror haunts the night
Its breath is frost, its will a blight
Its hunger vast, its voids run deep
Beneath the moon’s cold, frigid light
No prayer can banish, nor flame ignite
The darkness where its tendrils...

Contagious Scrawls
I am the patent sky holding you close
in closed quarters to my dark soul
Corroded by angels and evangelicals
with scalloped goitered tongues
Wearing cauls of contagious scrawls
in free verse of The Raven's Pinion
in closed quarters to my dark soul
Corroded by angels and evangelicals
with scalloped goitered tongues
Wearing cauls of contagious scrawls
in free verse of The Raven's Pinion

Up On Castles High
Upon the jagged peak it stands
A keep of dark, forbidden dread
Not wrought by mortal minds or hands
But gods long cursed and left for dead
Its towers scrape the ashen skies
In shadows veiled, unblessed by light
Here numbers breathe, and symbols rise
To twist the stars in dreadful rite
Nine pillars hold that cryptic place
And seven gates of rusted woe
Through thirteen paths, in jagged trace
The lost and damned are bade to go
O faithless spires, accursed throne
Where demons tremble, saints despair
Their...
A keep of dark, forbidden dread
Not wrought by mortal minds or hands

And seven gates of rusted woe
Through thirteen paths, in jagged trace

dead end
night falls on me, bastard of the dawn
in the gloaming mist, frail and pale
ravenous midnight, hunt me
the moon howl and I felt the cur at my heels
silently seeking my demise
curdled cries broke the quiet
running for my life, while evil drink in the scene
darkness cavorted, eating my fear
tiny hairs stand on end,
I could sense the malevolence on the air
interested darklings smirk
while I seek a hiding place
demons out for destruction reek havoc
I felt my doom upon my head
as the morn crashed in on me, offering...
in the gloaming mist, frail and pale
ravenous midnight, hunt me
the moon howl and I felt the cur at my heels
silently seeking my demise
curdled cries broke the quiet
running for my life, while evil drink in the scene
darkness cavorted, eating my fear
tiny hairs stand on end,
I could sense the malevolence on the air
interested darklings smirk
while I seek a hiding place

I felt my doom upon my head

In-Lieu of a Kiss
Kindled ashes girdled by the twilight
in soft hands alchemy debauchery
scented melodies from decadent lips
in-lieu of a kiss and trinkets of lyrics
of innocence in a graveyard of symphonies
embracing a haunting crescendo
from the archives of a secret silhouette
in arabesque dripping goblets of red
in soft hands alchemy debauchery
scented melodies from decadent lips
in-lieu of a kiss and trinkets of lyrics
of innocence in a graveyard of symphonies
embracing a haunting crescendo
from the archives of a secret silhouette
in arabesque dripping goblets of red

Devoured of The Flesh
Washed-out bones in the charnel house smell of
decay on the sheets dripping from a condom since
you left where the dead have lost their souls
in the dark's obliteration of broken bones devoured
of the flesh but remembered in the bosom of my
heart abandoned by the maggots that feast in the
arroyo of cracked embryos
decay on the sheets dripping from a condom since
you left where the dead have lost their souls
in the dark's obliteration of broken bones devoured
of the flesh but remembered in the bosom of my
heart abandoned by the maggots that feast in the
arroyo of cracked embryos

Thinking it a Coffee House -- with Crimsin
Troubled mind when dreams close in
haunted by shadows of memories
of raven's wearing death's caul
walking grounds of hallowed dead
with words engraved on headstones
listening to the crescendo of crying
corpses of dust and ashes, no
flesh to the bone, but half awake
in their four walls, thinking it a Coffee
House
stirring the bones I foretell your future
of cast-off harlots and midnights of debauchery
morbid meetings with groping fingers
filthy beasts with lying eyes
serpents tongue speaking...
haunted by shadows of memories
of raven's wearing death's caul
walking grounds of hallowed dead
with words engraved on headstones
listening to the crescendo of crying
corpses of dust and ashes, no
flesh to the bone, but half awake
in their four walls, thinking it a Coffee
House
stirring the bones I foretell your future
of cast-off harlots and midnights of debauchery
morbid meetings with groping fingers

dire
perfectly excuted misery
perpetrated on my loneliness
oh dire day take your leave
deeply steeped in reverie, I am sadly absent
my beloved hope please shine on me
take the pain from sorrow and make me a believer
guilty silence in happiness's stead
I am dour
relieve the feelings in loneliness keep
and give me succor
oh malady of ill intent
release your grip so I may smile
emptiness of thought
darkness glow, so captivating
should I invite it in
and take leave of my senses?
hurting faith...

Distraction
She is, the kind of distraction,
I didn’t know I needed,
I… Follow her… Everywhere… Now;
Bet she tastes good,
She has too,
I would be SO disappointed now,
If she didn’t,
and would need yet,
Another, how shall we say it,
Distraction,
From my work,
That which I was born into this world
…To do…
I didn’t know I needed,
I… Follow her… Everywhere… Now;
Bet she tastes good,
She has too,
I would be SO disappointed now,
If she didn’t,
and would need yet,
Another, how shall we say it,
Distraction,
From my work,
That which I was born into this world
…To do…

Stained in Spades
Bound by the tides crashing with pains poetic
affliction so many screams haunting obscenity
feeding my demons addicted to pain corroding
my soul with these chains I crave stained in
spades fulfilling my needs spewing my seed
affliction so many screams haunting obscenity
feeding my demons addicted to pain corroding
my soul with these chains I crave stained in
spades fulfilling my needs spewing my seed
