Yspirfal
Yspirfal”
Yspirfal across the sky
Awake now with a loving light
For I have summoned thee with song
And I have shaped thee to belong
In facets of eternal night
Where alor hath made the dim seem bright
Hyspirfael there beams a ray
Of vesper’s splendoring refrain
Shards of silver and silver rain
Shed on seas of silver fame
North and from the northmost sea
A mistless lute borne to thee
A ray, a glimmer, and a dream
To shape an endless harmony
Yspirfal and Hyspirfael
Upon the dawning of the world
To ring and...

sirens
The ocean speaks to me
She sings, actually
Listen close and you’ll hear the Sirens.
Between the waves,
Ricocheting off scattered shells.
Legend has it sailors were seduced by the sounds, sightlessly seeking the source of such serenity. Alas, only breeding their demise in a crash.
I believe
it’s naive to view man so feeble,
and tasteless to view woman so debauched.
I believe
the cacoethes begot by the sirens dives deeper than the patriarchal view of beauty.
In their song I hear my fathers past voice. Young, strong, happy - I...

Red Goddess Beyond
Out of the void
Her redness swirled about my being
Like the many discs of Saturn
When she spoke
Her words became stars
When she moved
All the plains shifted beneath me
Her song lit Saint Lucifers’ pyre
Her beauty
The magick of the mysteries
Of the multiverse
Her soul
The green-scarlet flame
Tail of a shooting star
Bound foreverness
The red supernatural
That superstition envies
Wild glow before the sundive
Painting her glaze – portrait alight
With the devils’ ash
Upon the lips of her sin...

Of The Devil & Baphomette #3
I was once the bright and morning star
but nothing compared to what I have found in you
as your beauty alone is the envy of constellations
Princess of my star-clustered nights
I’ll meet you up there somewhere
Nymphess of my burning candles twilight
we shall dance between them for all time to share
All humanity shall see
that we start at the end of their dreams
their evening sky but a bitter reflection
of our glittering lake in hell
where there are the souls of men diving
and demon eyes blinding
and godless ones...

indigo
tied ribbon, stained indigo
on a figure, shadow black
flesh hungry, blood thirsty, wendigo
gaze on you, and sure to attack
hunting season, only winter game
beware, indigo tricks the wandering eye
hide or run, outcome the same
dragged in snow, to den below, where you'll die
this soul-stirring blue, irresistible.. tempts you
if you do, the devil will grin
that's when canines pierce through, fur and claws too
commit the cannibal sin
now, the indigo stained ribbon is tied
born is the insatiable demon...

Of The Devil & Baphomette #2
I hand-picked you flowers just the other day
from the garden of the souls of the taken
travelling through timeless dispensations
to lay them at your very feet
to please your pretty face
to see you smile once again
playing Pan-pipes to soothe you
and violins to woo you
my poetry but a signature
of the sunrise you cause within
My Queen of Hellatia
wont you listen to the chant of my legions?
they return from celestial battle
usurping time and space and travel
placing the jewels of 6 galaxies
around your very...

Of The Devil & Baphomette #1
The wing of a black butterfly blew in from the East
With the lines of a Hexagram upon it inscribed
It carried your perfume with a trail of desert spice
I held it to my emptiness that human-kind would call a heart
So I searched for a black petal and sent it from the West
With the lines of a Pentagram upon it inscribed
Carrying my cologne, weaving a trail of musk behind
Now hold it up to your breast the way that humankind could never hope
Tell me once
Tell me twice
Tell me Six by Six by Six
Times, that you will ever be mine ...

Waking from a Dream
Waking from a Dream
The feeling
Arises
That everyone
Knows,
Only you
Are still
Stuck
In your dream.
What was
The meaning
Of every new
Nuance,
Is there
Nothing
That's just
As it seems?
You try
To awaken
And shake
Slowly to fury,
But
The fingers
Can't feel
All the same.
And every
Occassion
They smile
In their knowing,
While
Nodding
But avoiding
The game.
It's only
You ...

PRAYERS ON THE TIN ROOF OF HEAVEN
prayers
are like rain
to god
so it's no wonder
he doesn't hear
many particulars
but just stands
at the window
listening to them
hit the roof
and watching them
puddle in the drive
and wash that part of the yard
where grass won't grow
and he wonders if the
roof is still leaking
and thinks he might
pull the ladder down
and check the attic
but, hell, he's so tired
and the rafters
will still be wet
with the want
and desperation
of 7.9 billion
some odd souls

Princess of death
Hiding in this town
Patient warrioress
Like a she-snake
Deadly and with no sound
Dwelling in the roof tops
There she makes her bed
Like an Egyptian Goddess
Calling out unto the dead
She wears her black perfume
Eyeshadow thick and brown
Dressed for seduction
In her see-through evening gown
Her voice heard in the ceiling
Her eyes, the lights up there
I see all her movements
And wish with her one night to share
As I enter into the breach
