Halloween Stalker
Where is it that you live?
Do you go out every night?
What time do you come home?
Am I giving you a fright?
If you would let me in,
I can be there every night,
even though you don't want me to,
I will be a dreadful delight!
I'll be there just for you.
What might a good time be?
Even though you don't want me to,
we’ll have so much fun, you'll see!
Do you go out every night?
What time do you come home?
Am I giving you a fright?
If you would let me in,
I can be there every night,
even though you don't want me to,
I will be a dreadful delight!
I'll be there just for you.
What might a good time be?
Even though you don't want me to,
we’ll have so much fun, you'll see!

Spider Thoughts
Head full of spiders
Waiting for each floating thought
To get caught
Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache
Need an exterminator
Waiting for each floating thought
To get caught
Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache
Need an exterminator

8 hours a night
As I stare at the night sky my mind wanders to a place I dare not go during waking hours.
I lied to the moon for a moments satisfaction that I will not experience again.
Death is having to live in a state of lucidity without reprieve from the horrors I have known.
As I serenade the angels of my better nature with a song of apathy which has no lyrics I am comforted by a truth known only to the universe.
Perchance to dream is the fulfillment of a misery of a thousand cries to the heavens at that most holy hour.
My only sorrow is that it will last a mere 8 hours.
I lied to the moon for a moments satisfaction that I will not experience again.
Death is having to live in a state of lucidity without reprieve from the horrors I have known.
As I serenade the angels of my better nature with a song of apathy which has no lyrics I am comforted by a truth known only to the universe.
Perchance to dream is the fulfillment of a misery of a thousand cries to the heavens at that most holy hour.
My only sorrow is that it will last a mere 8 hours.

The Nightmare and I
It's the fog that casts shadowy doubts. And then it's dark! All of a sudden it's dark!
I'm panicked about the darkness.
Even though the light is on, it's dark.
It's dim and delusional.
I'm tired and exhausted from sleeping.
I don't remember the dreams.
I don't retain the memories.
I don't want to participate.
I don't want to remain.
It's too hard to see.
Am I going insane?
My head is always in a hurry.
It's foggy as hell and it hurts.
It thumps.
With each step.
The shadows...
I'm panicked about the darkness.
Even though the light is on, it's dark.
It's dim and delusional.
I'm tired and exhausted from sleeping.
I don't remember the dreams.
I don't retain the memories.
I don't want to participate.
I don't want to remain.
It's too hard to see.
Am I going insane?
My head is always in a hurry.
It's foggy as hell and it hurts.
It thumps.
With each step.
The shadows...

Think of Me
With every booming crash
With every silver slash in the sky
You deserve to remember
To be cursed with memory
Of the way my hair smells
The way I feel pressed against you
Let this storm remind you
Visions of my lips in your mind
My laugh hidden in the the raindrops
I hope it drives you mad
With every silver slash in the sky
You deserve to remember
To be cursed with memory
Of the way my hair smells
The way I feel pressed against you
Let this storm remind you
Visions of my lips in your mind
My laugh hidden in the the raindrops
I hope it drives you mad

Hi, we've met before
But you always look confused
You used to call me late at night
But now you blink too much when you talk
Feeling a little jealous and overstimulated
But you like that; cute and deranged
A little hot in here
But your hands are cold
Liar! Liar! Liar!
These hands could start a fire!
I think they might, I think they might
Hi, we've met before
But you don't believe in deja vu

Hallucinogenic discoveries of perception and crescent moon desire
Torrid outlines
travel
medium to mountain high
intertwining shapes,
curvature of edges
pigments pop
where lustre births into awe
streaming asymmetrical allure
heavenly swaths
crease and fold
delineate every line
and smallest mark
patterns outlining perfection
Dreams temper themselves upon
participle and adjective;
kaleidoscopic kinesis-
from the ashes, rise and roar
masters, makers, lovers, thieves
culminating breaths,
frequencies incense intimacy

Cheetahs Chasing Pale Zebras
Across the forehead of my mind
cheetahs chasing pale zebras
Twinkle twinkle white dwarfs
twilight dying a thousand tides
Beneath the moon's concubine
in deep tides and wastelands
Whispering winter's cold poultice
cheetahs chasing pale zebras
cheetahs chasing pale zebras
Twinkle twinkle white dwarfs
twilight dying a thousand tides
Beneath the moon's concubine
in deep tides and wastelands
Whispering winter's cold poultice
cheetahs chasing pale zebras

The Mandrake Dragon
Took my imagination, out for a stroll
Like a demonically possessed young child's doll
Came across some mead, filled up in a flagon
Twas there i encountered, the Mandrake Dragon
It flapped its wings, And blew its flames at me
It shrieked as loud, as a screaming Banjee
Instead of claws, it had flailing flowers
Poisonous to the touch, with teeth to devour
Ghostlike in appearance, like an evil Manitou
As down from the darkened skies it flew
Its eyes were a deep fearsome firey red
And a roar so loud, to awaken the dead
I...

whisper moon
Oh whisper moon
Don't let me feel like this again
Tonight you owe me an explanation
I made my bed the right way.
Finally an old expression
To ease the pain of waiting
If all I want is a little bit of space to breathe
Then how does that make me what they say I was in the fucking first place?
Oh whisper moon
Don't let me break my legs on the fall
Ive dropped
Down low into the Brambles
whoa
The less I know the better I say
Peace to the monsters under

I stay safe in the middle of the...

Whispers in the Dark
I stilled my mind and drifted into another realm
When I awoke, I was greeted by flowers and elm
The lady bird sang a wonderful tune
On the water rang a lovely loon
I strolled through the wooded glade
Suddenly, not a sound was made
The sun began to set, and my heart was starting to fret
A sinking feeling told me I had been drawn into a devilish debt
Darkness encompassed me
Whispers hissed, as mist came to my knee
Dreadful requests did they ask
Each more horrid than a blood filled cask
