same streets
mid victorian london saw dickens
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep

Slow Murder of an Eternal State
If hell has a true heart
It must be surrounded by an impenetrable dark,
“Strengthened by the souls of the unbeliever
Lead by the ultimate deceiver,
“Who sits upon a throne within an extradimensional hall
Decorated by fallen heroes and fools on its wall,
“The greatest live a tortured living death
Denied through painful magic their last breathe,
“A nightmarish realm that feed up itself
That tricks one’s mind that it’s in pearl and needs help,
“Creating a mirrored paradise of unimaginable pleasure
Because it want supreme value...

Darkness Shines in His Eye
I in depths of twilight's slumber
saw a dream in its haunting claim
of shadows dancing in evil glee
picking at my peripheral vision
I looked into the depths of the abyss
staring at the realm of nightmares
lost and afraid I prayed so hard
to wake to the comfort of my bed
you looked up at me from below
your face contorted in pain and fear
looked into my face with red eyes
hissed your wish to be free
you reached for me with claws for fingers
hatred shone in your bleeding eyes
there is no heaven here only...
saw a dream in its haunting claim
of shadows dancing in evil glee
picking at my peripheral vision
I looked into the depths of the abyss
staring at the realm of nightmares
lost and afraid I prayed so hard
to wake to the comfort of my bed
you looked up at me from below
your face contorted in pain and fear
looked into my face with red eyes
hissed your wish to be free
you reached for me with claws for fingers
hatred shone in your bleeding eyes
there is no heaven here only...

A Demon's Moon
Those forever days of the past
it lay quiet in tranquil sleep,
save for visitor's noiseless blasts
of meteor's falls from the deep,
raising silent dust's slow, slow, leaps
in dance, gift of ghost's ballet shoes
Ad agio A cappella,
hypnotized my eyes, seek the moon...
I see Hekate through my glass
of spirits, as I start to dream,
a virgin god, did she think, alas?
I hear her hounds, Hades guards supreme,
I fear beast dogs awake, griping...
it lay quiet in tranquil sleep,
save for visitor's noiseless blasts

of spirits, as I start to dream,

Karpet kebabs
Doubled over
where am I
oh it's the floor
Again
who's rug is this
whats all this discarded mess
Doubled over
kitchen sink
funny don't remember eating corn
in fact
can't recollect the last time
seen the something resembling
knife and fork
Doubled over
toilet bowl
when did I have red wine
oh shit
that's blood
vile bile
This living sure guts the soul
Doubled over
just Doubled over
call me the karpet kebab
aint...

My Clearing
.. ... ...
Clouds over the forest
Puffy and white
Then gray and uniform
Finally erratic
To hide the tree, use the forest
To hide my clearing, I use the sky
Clouds forming in contact with the ground
Cold dense air and mist
Then wolves in fog's clothing
I feel illusive vibrating alerts...
... And hear branches and leaves voices
Life ... smiles on me
Life still smiles on me
Lucid dream... Hyperassociative
During a REM phase...
I never wait for the alarm clock to wake me up ...
Clouds over the forest
Puffy and white
Then gray and uniform
Finally erratic
To hide the tree, use the forest
To hide my clearing, I use the sky
Clouds forming in contact with the ground
Cold dense air and mist
Then wolves in fog's clothing
I feel illusive vibrating alerts...
... And hear branches and leaves voices
Life ... smiles on me
Life still smiles on me
Lucid dream... Hyperassociative
During a REM phase...
I never wait for the alarm clock to wake me up ...

Within a Glance
I went somewhere and you were there
alone within the same nightmare
intwined we swirled throughout the night
making the darkest love we dare
And without sight to our delight
we kissed the sun and stole her light
in bended synchronicity
star crossed lovers in lonely plight
But this despair that we both share
while dancing in the space out there
cuts to the quick this devil's bite
until we lose the will to care
So if by chance or happenstance
we break away from circumstance
then I will fly and thus be seen...

On The Way Back To The Campsite
On
the way
back to the
campsite, Nancy
spotted Marcia on
the ground naked under
a full moon with a demon
sticking its tongue into her just
before it saw Nancy and lunged at
her making Nancy wake up screaming loud.

Laying in the dark
Laying in the dark
It's late in the dead of night, you are laying in your bed reading on your phone, then you get the strangest feeling like you are not alone
You put your phones light on, you scan it around the room, then you hear a crashing noise, like a falling broom
The sound was unexpected, it makes your heartbeat race, you feel the fear rising, is someone in your place
You switch the bedside lamp on, you're straining with your ears, the possibility of a intruder, has awakened child like fears
Fears of the Boogeyman, the monster who...
