Through acrid clouds of summer fliesthe garden swells with a thousand more wiseForever flung to celestial dreamsclawing at the grave of the dead nazarene I watch the storm approachingthe darkness calls my namethe trees are growing restlessthey feel the season changetheir fruit has putrifiedforbidden once and bound to diethe thread of life lies severedon the […]

Heaven Torn Asunder
Rise, ablaze, libidinousDevildom voyeursAscend to smother the lightNascent aeons confer… Chaos is spatFrom the black eternal seaSerrated mountains of mad shadowsCarving towards misdeed Stormchoirs gatherA pestilential hissSunset evokes Luciferian fireThe skies are ruptured like a knifed orificeSupernal vestments hang tatteredCathedrals shriek to pulpit oratoryInvasions scale Babel’s ivory towersPoised to sodomise a world upon it’s knees […]
A Gothic Romance
Evening minuetto in a castle by the seaA jewel more radiant than the moonLowered Her mask to meThe sublimest creature the Gods, full of fireWould marvel at making their QueenInfusing the air with Her fragant desireAnd my heart reeled with grave poetry… From grace I fell in love with HerScent and feline lureAnd jade woodland […]
Suicide And Other Comforts
I pace, aloneIn a place for the deadOvercome by woeAnd here, I’ve grownSo fond of dreadThat I swear it’s heaven Oh sweet May,Dressed in griefRoll back the stone With these words scrawled in a severed handTears fall like shards of glass that bandIn rivers, like sinnersSwept with me to join the damned A darkened skyThe […]

Dusk And Her Embrace
When the sun has wept upon the waveless lakeAnd the mists steal in with easeCovened wolves arc their eerie dissonant napesIn adoration of the moon and thee "They call as I to thee…" And I will come, as if in dreamMy languid, dark and lustrous Malaresian QueenOf vengeful, ancient breedGilded with the pelts of many […]
Scorched Earth Erotica
Sunset, expectThis to be your last with Our vast returnAs Death is setAt three sixes where hill-beacons burn Darkness, undressYour descending skirts yield a thirsting altarBlood-red, yet still unfedLips distend ending, time to falter Welcome arms wide and crucified…The slaughter Lightening freezes sevenOuttakes from the rape of the worldSins expelled from HeavenNow befoul from the […]
Nocturnal Supremacy
Weak midnight promises of loveWere wept upon Her graveAnd shunned by stars aboveIn mortal life lurks my dismayAn Angel stole my heartand Death took Her away She sleeps beyond the grace of godA dreaming beautyIf wishes could only fray that bondThe dead would sing for me… Twelth moon arose with ghostly voiceA poet’s serenadeHer name […]
