A Steed From Nowhere
The dim yellow light in the kitchen flickers with an erratic and unearthly dance, casting elongated shadows that writhe and twist with unnatural animation. The fire's uncertain glow only deepens the oppressive atmosphere, magnifying the dark, malignant presence that lingers just beyond the threshold of perception. The cigarette smolders in the ashtray, its tendrils of smoke curling upwards as if bearing the heavy weight of the detective’s dread and despair.
The kitchen, once a refuge of warmth and familiarity, now exudes an air of suffocating malevolence. The peeling floral wallpaper,...

Saint Lucia
If the night is a thief
What does it steal?
Lost sleep, tossed and turned,
To things that go bump in the fright
Some of us are nocturnal
And see more clearly in the dark
Not I.
I go to bed when evening comes
I cannot stand to think
Of the wingless angels just out of sight
I do not wish to know them
But they Know Me
They watch over as I slumber
Prodding and poking with long fingers
An uneasy massage
The cycle is not to be broken--
Once undone it unravels ...
What does it steal?
Lost sleep, tossed and turned,
To things that go bump in the fright
Some of us are nocturnal
And see more clearly in the dark
Not I.
I go to bed when evening comes
I cannot stand to think
Of the wingless angels just out of sight
I do not wish to know them
But they Know Me
They watch over as I slumber
Prodding and poking with long fingers
An uneasy massage
The cycle is not to be broken--
Once undone it unravels ...

Demonkind
alone I face them
you might think I invited them
but that's not the case
one day the demons just came
highly aggressive I did what I could to stop them
then finally I started paying attention
when they thought I wasn't listening
for one thing, I thought they never got frightened they do
I could hear them building each other up
when Lucifer would approach
one would crack a joke then another
until they were all laughing
and the tension in them would begin to lift
I found out that they have wives and children ...

wishes
hidden in the shadows are all the stars I've collected
they don't wish for the sky
they are happy to shine in my smile and eyes
they raced from the heavens
really just shiny wishes
light a smile and kiss a super nova
starlight shine with hope in the moment
glittery synchronicity brightly lit to fulfill a dream or two
a sprinkle of lust should light the wick
and a spark can become a bonfire
twinkle twinkle
take that girl from the bar home
fate brought her to you for the night
effervescence let her...
they don't wish for the sky
they are happy to shine in my smile and eyes

occult magic
innuendos of the witchcraft faith
the book is blazing
it speaks double talk
and in strict metaphor
it will not reveal its language to a novice
who should not be troubling the waters
incarnate divinity there is more than one eye upon me
sacred silence gives me pause
I am to learn occult magic
Glory be I have avoided it
my darkness is heavy
and it is a big responsibility
ignorance is not an excuse
it has called upon me
it's my very own darkness
who I have channeled here
I excite the spirits ...

magic tomes
my life in a moment
loneliness empties my days
going through the days in slow motion
I wonder are these my last moments I'm not embracing
I'm fully awake within my sadness
is it selfish to want more days in the sun
shadows crowd me they say I'm of the darkness
it is as it will be maybe I never had a choice
burns the wick
as the sage smokes
rising to the heavens
I beseech you Lord
accept my offering
a child of mercy
swimming in the abyss
the dark is charming
maybe I was always a strange brew ...
loneliness empties my days

magically yours
the anatomy of two wrapped around each other
desperately fighting the outside world
clinging to what is true
the feeling rising in our souls
caressing sorrow we come closer
facing our fears one at a time
shutting everyone out
we silently hold on
the dark moves quietly inside
waking up to the honesty of the moment
shared dreams open to us
kiss the night and the skies blush
we drift through doubt
and enter urgency
feeding the fire we succumb
shutting out the naysayers
our love is stunning ...

Draugr
Held tight by midnight's grip
Rotted flesh packs long ships
Coming from where frost bites
Storied bones lost to light
Yggdrasil’s root to Hel’s dark gate
Bound by wyrd, the Norns' cruel fate
Runes adorn the burial stone
Heralding a trove of restless bones
Tattered banners and olden grounds
What lurks beneath the mounds?
Empty eyes devoid of Niflheim’s mist
Jormungandr's venom kissed
Desecrate Asgard's hallowed halls
Death of worlds the gods...
Rotted flesh packs long ships
Coming from where frost bites
Storied bones lost to light
Yggdrasil’s root to Hel’s dark gate
Bound by wyrd, the Norns' cruel fate
Runes adorn the burial stone
Heralding a trove of restless bones
Tattered banners and olden grounds
What lurks beneath the mounds?
Empty eyes devoid of Niflheim’s mist
Jormungandr's venom kissed
Desecrate Asgard's hallowed halls
Death of worlds the gods...

sisters
uniquely open and vulnerable
seeking what is
taking my time testing what is right
reverse the curse of my bloodline
a natural witch I have no ill intent
but there is magic employed just by speaking
it is incessant, the charm is I love not hate
a darkling who doesn't care for occult magic
I conjure the winds it is a part of me
the elements feel my unease
I don't take note of my spells
better not to some witches copy
I will never have a trace of the potions for healing
spread the day she's getting too thin ...

Husks In the Sand
I call upon thee for thy sphere
Sacred salts invoke the occult and fear
Five skulls and seven towers
Grant me thy seraphic powers
Seek the triads of umbral plains
Seventy two angles all in vain
Chaldee come forth with sacred flame
Induct I into thy holy name
Auroral orbs illuminate my path
Sfirot shows me the way to amaranthine wrath
Embrace thy dark archetype
A pungency thick and ripe
A wisdom from long dried lips
To sail with the dead...
Sacred salts invoke the occult and fear

spelling with thoughts
waiting on you I say a spell
a little mischief and something nice to remember me in time
I captured your rain your tears are special
inviting you in it's a gamble but I'm taking it
a hex upon me a heady one
I stir my emotions to see which one surfaces
my reputation as seer is known
but I didn't see you coming
you had a fuck you, glare on your face
I took it as a dare and I love that
spinning in fate
sink in and feel me in the depths
you wanted to attract a witch
I am securing you to me with a glamor ...

Sorcerer
Castle walls surround me,
and starts this magical symphony.
Wand of Sorcery compels me to fulfill this destiny.
Its glow guides me along,
following the trail of the evil
I know.
Evil so vile, so quick,
Its strike will make you deathly sick.
Townsfolk of many have fallen prey to
this sly skinless thing of gray.
Skinless due to shedding away,
leaving all in fear every day.
Onward the sorcerer paces,
with enchanted spells that can erase this.
A smoke like dimmed corridor he
approaches.
Wand at the ready,
keeping...
