The darling girl who was so sweet to me Look how quickly she has fallen into misery Like Babylon’s best harlot for turning tricks Burning down what we were beyond a fix My darling girl who has bewitched you to be so petty? Throwing pity parties all alone with cheap confetti I would have savedContinue reading “The Darling”

The Land
I approach your dwelling oh so cautiously while still holding back You beckoned with promises of living forever and ever without lack So beautiful is the land you inhabit, warm and full of life Can I really count myself here among those with no strife? If you don’t mind may I bleed on your fieldsContinue reading “The Land”
Misanthrope
“They really are the dregs aren’t they?” ? “I mean just look at them. Waddling along like overweight bags of meat and bone without a substantive thought between their misshapen ears. If they moved any more inefficiently they’d be literal zombies. They really start to resemble the undead when they scamper and drool before theirContinue reading “Misanthrope”
Apotheosis
I knew from the moment I darkened the doorway I found my purpose for being. For God or the devil who can say? But my vision went red and I was all-seeing. The churches will shatter at the foundations and the temples will fall. I will be there to watch the masses flee in terror,Continue reading “Apotheosis”
Lethargica
Here I sit with my mouth wide open and drooling like an idiot for all to see. I can’t really remember when the sleeping sickness claimed its victory. I was energetic, driven, hopeful and full of passion to put the world aright When I slowly yet surely witness with indifference, my endeavors set alight. IContinue reading “Lethargica”
To far greener lands I go
It is to far greener lands that I go Away from all that I think I know To the lands only hinted of in my purest of dreams Where death is forgotten and all is just as it seems I will travel light not bringing anything of my past I only need a view ofContinue reading “To far greener lands I go”
Lazarus
Lying dead awake in the cold seclusion of the tomb The perverse inverse of the innocence in the womb How long has it been, Lord? How much more time can I afford? Didn’t I deny you when I was living my life in times past? When the faith of my fathers was considered only lastContinue reading “Lazarus”
All my best mistakes came with big brown eyes
Well I like fire as much as the next soul, my love. But to set a whole city ablaze seems a step above. We never intended harm to them did we, my dear? Love was on our mind yet we inspired so much fear. All my best mistakes came with big brown eyes. You sawContinue reading “All my best mistakes came with big brown eyes”
Hrafn
I’ve been caged all my life. Waiting and growing incubating in strife. With the slightest flutters of my glossy black wings I wait until the day they can stretch out and sing. I listen intently for the unmistakable sound. Blaring horns and the baying of the hound. The time has come and I will notContinue reading “Hrafn”
The virus in you
Aren’t we enjoying this dance? Totally bound entranced? I could watch you die for all time! To cut the show short is a crime! The plague swims its way into your body but then Its most dazzling spectacle is what happens when! What we thought was so immortal comes tumbling down! And with it, ourContinue reading “The virus in you”
