Void singularities
In the depths where stars dare not gleam
A void where silence reigns supreme
Eternal dark, a yawning maw
Bends space and time to unseen law
No sound, no breath, no life to trace
In the heart of the endless space
Where matter folds and dreams dissolve
And all that is, begins to evolve
The aether trembles, pale and frail
As light itself begins to fail
In mirrored dark, the threads unwind
A singularity confined
The cosmic fabric splits in two
Reflections fractal, strange, and new
Dimensions twist and backward...
A void where silence reigns supreme
Eternal dark, a yawning maw
Bends space and time to unseen law
No sound, no breath, no life to trace
In the heart of the endless space
Where matter folds and dreams dissolve
And all that is, begins to evolve
The aether trembles, pale and frail
As light itself begins to fail
In mirrored dark, the threads unwind
A singularity confined
The cosmic fabric splits in two
Reflections fractal, strange, and new

Earthlings
In the quiet dawn of an Earthling
when shadows bled with light
we emerged as storm and calm
from oceanic depths
to Zepher heights
Carving our desires
into mountainsides, we climb
with slippery feet and bloody hands
wishing to grasp eternity
in a single grain of sand
We are canyon echoes
rivers tracing invisible lines
across our face
heartbeats of a thousand stories
written in linear time
under Universal grace
Our depths hold savage
and...

Cassiopeia
Somewhere in the night – Pallet fire ignites
Quests for northern lights and shooting stars
Prismatic fields shimmering light into nights
Gypsy shadows beginning to dance romance
Sony analog frequencies of soundscapes of escape
Shadows of setting suns sinking into a: Sexy cool
The poetry of fire lit eyes to be comprised composed
Encircled: Inky currents swirling sinking into ink
Dreaming such things – Exploring afars of stars

A Spin of Grin
Back from a business trip.
I want to trip on psychedelic
Erotic. Nothing overly dramatic
Just you. There. Baring a
Barely there.
You – There. On the table top
Grinning. Spinning upon a heel
Until
I
feel the desire to say:
Stop.
Putting
You
on
Top
Never-ever
Stop

stars
inside is grievous I lull myself to sleep
entertaining ghosts and demons
thoughts of midnight's best
requested to be present
witnessing a star system I don't recognize
fearing release from my mortal tomb
when the door opens how many spirit children will be released with me
where are they going are some going to a different star?
are some going to a black hole for being destructive forces of nature?
where am I going? I just don't want my memories taken again
with only flashbacks I don't want to be a solitary creature again it was...

I am the haunted
Misery is the bed I sleep in
Shadows wake me as I lay paralyzed
No face I carry, but only the scar of your hatred
I am the haunted
A holy land that burns on through the night
Empty affectation of pain, I walk in the battle of my thoughts
My gravestone is what I bear as a reminder
I am the haunted
Shadows wake me as I lay paralyzed
No face I carry, but only the scar of your hatred
I am the haunted
A holy land that burns on through the night
Empty affectation of pain, I walk in the battle of my thoughts
My gravestone is what I bear as a reminder
I am the haunted

tingle
tingles on my body tell me something is up
shadows cross my path
and my lively spirit buddies hush
when usually have plenty to say
I get chilled
it doesn't feel like anyone is there
it feels like emptiness
a hole where matter should be
I know someone is trying a sneak attack
or it could possibly be a discussion
they know better than to send their goons
with their slimy business card
a peace negotiation has been on the table for a long time
these beings have refused to come in
and my father says it's too late ...

Shade Between Shadows
In the rift where shadows split
Where angles writhe and forms commit
To twisting paths of maddened flight
In shades that crawl beyond the night
Abyssal lines that tear and fray
Unholy curves that twist the day
No mortal mind could bear the sight
Of darkness folded, turned to blight
The pillars bend with jagged spite
Where geometry corrupts the light
A latticework of eldritch might
That pierces through the heart of sight
No sacred plane remains intact
...
Where angles writhe and forms commit

A latticework of eldritch might

Aureate Divinity of Gilded Shadow
In sanctums veiled, where shadows gleam
A gilded dark, a twisted dream
No sun nor star could dare unveil
The golden black where spirits wail
Divine the shade, the shadows crawl
In golden veils, the light they maul
A blessed dark, a holy blight
Where gold and black entwine the night
O hallowed void, thou art adorned
With splintered rays of darkness scorned
The light that bends beneath thy shroud
To forge a throne of midnight proud
In cathedrals wrought of silent...
A gilded dark, a twisted dream
No sun nor star could dare unveil
The golden black where spirits wail
Divine the shade, the shadows crawl
In golden veils, the light they maul

Where gold and black entwine the night
O hallowed void, thou art adorned

Saturnine Resplendence
In silence deep, where suns are blind
The Autarch reigns with chill unkind
A sovereign of the void’s embrace
'Midst shadowed orbs and starless space
The cold dominion, vast and wide
Where planets drift and horrors bide
Unseen by light of mortal kin
The reign of shadows, dark as sin
With scepter forged in Saturn’s dread
He walks the paths where gods have bled
The ancient dark between the stars
Where silence splits like metal scars
His throne is built on nameless stone
Where time is bent, and laws dethrone ...

The Emperor's Angels
Iron halls and stone keep
Where saints and devils vigil keep
The Emperor's wrath in armor clad
Awaken from the battle’s mad
With sigils carved in blood and flame
They march where mortal tongues won’t name
The Angels forged in terror’s breath
The harbingers of crimson death
Their shadows stretch like whispered sins
Where holy light and night begins
For they are wrath and judgment's hand
The sentinels of a burning land
Their eyes aflame with ancient lore
Baptized in war forevermore
They chant in tongues of lost occult ...

The Greys
Deep in the greyed recesses of my Sub-conscious...
I contemplate...something demon-esque
Be careful what you say to me in this mode...
It's too easy to weaponize words....like a Wartenberg wheel
Trickling down your spine...l reverse engineer them...use them as tiny swords
Pierce you to the core... uproot you
Filet your spirit....leave you floundering...
While I voyeur your fingers fondling your lower Egypt
In the darkness I've crafted... ...
