Cimmerian Covenant
Beneath yon vault where moonlight wanes
And shadows carve their ancient reigns
There gather forms of nameless might
In halls of stone, bereft of light
Pillars rise like spectres tall
Adorned with masks that gaze o’er all
Their lips in silence, secrets keep
Where mortal tongues dare not to speak
Each autarch veiled in sable guise
With marbled flesh and sightless eyes
Doth weave a pact in whispered breath
A vow to bind both life and death
No trumpet sounds, no mortal sees
This covenant in stygian seas
Where...
And shadows carve their ancient reigns
There gather forms of nameless might
In halls of stone, bereft of light
Pillars rise like spectres tall
Adorned with masks that gaze o’er all
Their lips in silence, secrets keep
Where mortal tongues dare not to speak
Each autarch veiled in sable guise
With marbled flesh and sightless eyes
Doth weave a pact in whispered breath
A vow to bind both life and death
No trumpet sounds, no mortal sees
This covenant in stygian seas

Hear It Calling
Beneath the loam, where silence breeds
A shadow stirs in restless plight
I buried him, my crime unheeds
Yet feel his clawing in the night
His voice, a rasp through fetid air
A specter’s hymn, a curse untamed
It bids me down the stairs in despair
Yet no tongue speaks the damned unnamed
Scratch, scratch beneath the floor’s tight grain
The boards do shudder at his call
Each groan and creak becomes a chain
That binds my soul to rise and fall
The grave exhales its rancid breath
A miasma cold, my guilt laid bare ...
A shadow stirs in restless plight
I buried him, my crime unheeds
Yet feel his clawing in the night
His voice, a rasp through fetid air
A specter’s hymn, a curse untamed
It bids me down the stairs in despair
Yet no tongue speaks the damned unnamed
Scratch, scratch beneath the floor’s tight grain
The boards do shudder at his call
Each groan and creak becomes a chain
That binds my soul to rise and fall
The grave exhales its rancid breath
A miasma cold, my guilt laid bare ...

Whistling In The Woods
Oh, don’t go whistlin’ in the woods at night
When the trees stand still and the moon ain’t right
There’s a voice that calls, but it ain’t your kin
And the thing that answers don’t wear no skin
What’s that draggin’, heavy on the leaves?
A sound like chains, or broken eaves?
It hums my tune, it mocks my name
But its voice is wrong—it ain’t the same
Yonder yellow grin in the shadow’s maw
Eyes too wide, a gaping flaw
It stares me down, it don’t draw near
Just waits and grins, feeds on my fear
Oh, run, my child, but...
When the trees stand still and the moon ain’t right
There’s a voice that calls, but it ain’t your kin
And the thing that answers don’t wear no skin
What’s that draggin’, heavy on the leaves?
A sound like chains, or broken eaves?
It hums my tune, it mocks my name
But its voice is wrong—it ain’t the same
Yonder yellow grin in the shadow’s maw
Eyes too wide, a gaping flaw
It stares me down, it don’t draw near
Just waits and grins, feeds on my fear
Oh, run, my child, but...

from above
she, high in the sky
wondrous fulfillment of light
beaming with rays
casting,
elevating,
your shadow before me.
mystic clouds, floating
channeling their energy
weeping down as tears
along the velvety lined path.
gentle is the touch,
repetitive strokes...
as if lightning
raising the hair upon the unexpecting.
teetering,
covered with a chill...
fullness and yet erect
the sheet caresses the tip.
sweetness moans within the dream.
her shine illuminates our worlds,
in unison.
wondrous fulfillment of light

Creative Nights
I feel fire in my eyes
creative thoughts in the night
Losing my mind
going blind
what's this laughter
what's that sign
The night
where ideas and decisions dance
planning my next move
in the morning I'll take that chance
creative thoughts in the night
Losing my mind
going blind
what's this laughter
what's that sign
The night
where ideas and decisions dance
planning my next move
in the morning I'll take that chance

Here and Now
It took a lot to get to here
Sweat runs down the day laborer
Sleeps in the sun while all are moving
Drops her off to school to go back to sleep
Turning in the covers thoughts win me over
Can’t sleep thinking with my brain turned off
She ends her day of learning my dreams go to sleep dreaming
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers that
Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down ...
Sweat runs down the day laborer
Sleeps in the sun while all are moving
Drops her off to school to go back to sleep
Turning in the covers thoughts win me over
Can’t sleep thinking with my brain turned off
She ends her day of learning my dreams go to sleep dreaming
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers
Back in the soil of everyday life
Brain can’t sleep my body suffers that
Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down ...

Insight Gained
Sanity
Wanderings through forbidden crypts
Knowledge here from impossible planes
Of beasts with flesh torn and skin ripped
Rites to seek blessed sanguine pain
A message in the numbers and sacred shapes
Burn it all and hear the infected shriek
Charred skeletons with mouths agape
Hippocratic oath violated amongst death's reek
Sanity Withers
Yet deeper still, the shadows wind
Through caverns choked in rot and grime
Where ancient symbols pulse and blaze
And whisper truths that curse and daze
For here the...

Sanguine Paradise
In crimson folds where Seraphim weep
And ancient thrones in silence keep
A sanguine Paradise concealed
By shadowed rites and fates revealed
A garden forged in martyr’s tears
Where saints and sinners quell their fears
Here, holy hymns in whispers sound
To trace the lost, the star-cursed ground
The lilies burn like censers bright
Veiled echoes of celestial light
Yet blood and incense thickly rise
A darker psalm to pierce the skies
No sacred dawn shall grace this place
For Eden’s fall hath left its trace

Whispers On The Twilight Air
Soft whispers rise upon the twilight air
As day doth wane and shadows gather near
The sun’s last breath, so golden and so fair
Doth cast its glow upon the spire clear
Towering stones, in solemn grandeur crowned
Embrace the hues of dusk’s celestial fire
While distant choirs in holy strains resound
And fill the night with echoes that inspire
The fading light doth gently play and dance
Upon the ancient stones, both firm and cold
And in this hour, the soul feels sweet romance
A fleeting warmth in evening’s tender hold
...

Deadwood Manifestations
The deadwood stirs beneath the moon
Its branches black and bare
They twist and groan a hollow tune
Like phantoms in the air
Their whispers drift on midnight’s breath
A cold and ghastly song
And tales of sorrow, loss, and death
Are woven faint and long
I walk alone, yet feel their eyes
The trees, so stark and still
Each shadow hides what underlies
A secret dark and chill
No stars break through the twisted boughs
No breeze can ease the night
For in this wood, the silence bows
To voices lost from...

Dead Planes and Scoured Spheres
In blackened depths, the planes drift lost
Where stars are but a ghostly gleam
Voids where ancient bounds are crossed
They haunt the edges of a dream
Cold winds of space, like whispered breath
Bemoan the fate of worlds unwound
And dusted realms of silent death
In spiraled madness wheel around
Forgotten paths through empty spheres
Unseen by gods, unknown by light
Hold echoes of primeval fears
And shadows of eternal night
No distant sun can pierce the veil
No spark dare grace the endless maw

Unfinished Business (An Unknown Shapeshifter-The Bear King)
Somewhere Below The Sea
Waterloo Kingdom
Well, it would appear I heard the Queen Siren will be returning to the Waterloo
Make sure you send my best soldiers the moment she comes through that portal, every Sea King will try to claim that scent as in the past, and my clan will be the first and last in pursuit
This time I will claim her Earthly Heart, her Sea Body and her bedroom time
Those hazel eyes begging for the thrust of my Fin until her metamorphose, then it will be me keeping her pleased with my throbbing...
