Of Midnight and Madness
Far away
In a castle by the sea
Wreathed in the moonlight of misery
To set free the pretty visons that imprisoned me
A soothsayer of seance and dark pageantry
Forboding the winds that beguiled one's insanity
The divinations of constellations far flung against the back drop of ebon hued nebulas
Masquerades upon the stars oft led me far astray
The twinkle of twilight always tickled my fancy
A voyeur of horizons torn asunder
Gemini
I've already died
Gemini
Upon the dying sky
Turned bright
Blight of...

Lilith The Conjuring~with the sexy Sky_dancer
the demoness conjures
a spell is on the winds
beware
darkest night...witches brew
watch out demons are coming for you
they enter this dimension through a portal
riding the electrical waves inside your brain cells
late at night when you awake in sweats
it's them come to visit...your blood they let
when the hour is nigh
they conceive of torture
the high priestess instructs them
where you are weakest
wolf's bane. bane of sin
ghoulish delight your soul to savor
when...

The Witch and the Darkness
Of conjured shadows and dancing flame
The witch's hand decrepit with magic
Twitches with the anxiety of storms
Farflung from the wantings of lesser forms and in the vile darkness of night hinders forth the blasphemy of dawn
A litany of woe consumes the wretch
Petty wares and pretty stares bewitch the madness of sad hours
A conjuring of sadist dreams stream through the never
Neath the labrynth of her brow the lazy eye to conquer all
Fever pitched and still they linger
Upon the finger of destiny
Harkened forth the blasphemed seams ...
The witch's hand decrepit with magic
Twitches with the anxiety of storms
Farflung from the wantings of lesser forms and in the vile darkness of night hinders forth the blasphemy of dawn
A litany of woe consumes the wretch
Petty wares and pretty stares bewitch the madness of sad hours
A conjuring of sadist dreams stream through the never
Neath the labrynth of her brow the lazy eye to conquer all
Fever pitched and still they linger
Upon the finger of destiny
Harkened forth the blasphemed seams ...

Poe-try in Motion
He laid her down on black satin pennants
Lace nightdress hitched up, billowing
Velvet skin thinly overspread her delicate bones
Roses lips enveloped
Torn clothes on craggy stones
A danse macbre of undead lovers
The graveyard silent, aside from their moans
Raven hair falling, falling
Rain delicate; a storm forming
Misery, sweet torment eternal
Black feather kisses fly
Scattered in the moonlight
Lace nightdress hitched up, billowing
Velvet skin thinly overspread her delicate bones
Roses lips enveloped
Torn clothes on craggy stones
A danse macbre of undead lovers
The graveyard silent, aside from their moans
Raven hair falling, falling
Rain delicate; a storm forming
Misery, sweet torment eternal
Black feather kisses fly
Scattered in the moonlight

OH WOE OF POE
Oh woe of Poe, my tortured soul
Romance’s son, death’s friend
Forevermore doomed to suffer
Enslaved in the castle of lonely
Since my precious Eliza Clemm
Eloped with Azrael to Heaven
Within these blood soaked walls I anguish
Prisoner of this city in the sea
My love, oh sweet beautiful Helen
Who now ignores my passion
Why oh why can’t love find me?
Doesn’t she hear me softly weep?
Oh gossamer winged Israfel
I beg, come play your lute for me
Let your angelic music free me ...
Romance’s son, death’s friend
Forevermore doomed to suffer
Enslaved in the castle of lonely

Who now ignores my passion
Why oh why can’t love find me?

RAVENS
Ebony winged angels,
Ravens are not the Devil’s make
Rather, they have been sent to earth
By Heaven’s sake
Not morbid creatures
Prowling about a moonless night
Instead, they fly on the edge
Of the new morning light
Whether alighting upon a branch
Over a deer just killed
Or circling above another animal
That death has willed
The raven’s loud
Clarion call
Reminds us mortal
We are all
So, prepare your soul
And renew your spirit
For at any moment
A raven may...

SOUR GRAPES
The dark lady waits for me
In her cathedral on the sea.
I will come dressed up as Satan.
I will kneel upon one knee.
I will cry a cry like Hamlet
When he first saw Hecuba.
I will bow down at her feet
Betwixt Sodom and Gomorra.
I will find a paradise
In her lovely lotus prism.
I will bring her my self-portraits
And enjoy her masochism.
I will try to hold her smile
As it slips between her thighs.
I will try to wriggle free
When I'm submerged in her green eyes. ...

To Come No More...
To Come No More
†††
There is an evil kind of darkness here,
Where on your souls they tend to feed,
The screams you hear cannot be ignored,
Their hunger fed by their eternal greed...
†
Candles dominate the drift of the darkness,
And gives yet another chance to play,
Fear rides the scales of the madness adorned,
And the screams overheard as they take them away...
†
To a place where return is impossible at best,
The imagination ceases covertly to exist,
Impaled in the shadows of the evil inside,
Consumed by...

Happens to be
Wars of the mind into their chess playing blind
So prioritizing trivial to the painful revelations
Such this mental purgatory door swings wide
Only as good as the champagne appellations,
-
As coast falls away into their forgotten ocean
Seeing the face of the earth as old clock time
With source, the notion began eternal motion
Only poets to know what is behind my rhymes.
