An Impious End
Promise - how it sways
Her scythe awaits
Lost to the spiral again
To fall so far yet somehow ascend
Sanctity, left to ash
The absent caress
Of winds that grace the wax
A flood to cleanse the troubles
The mortal, the snake
Our stones that tilt in silence
Callous rapture in it's wake
A flood to cleanse the troubles
The mortal, the snake
Detritus, guide us with your ruin
For long we've plagued these halls
To pray for dissolution
The archaic throne absolved
Oh saviour - forlorn
Once coddled in sacrament, savoring thorns
Peaceless dominion - chaos impends
Oh saviour - forlorn
Once coddled in sacrament, savoring thorns
A feast upon reverence, the impious end

What Spirits Forebode
Time - in it's sands I am immersed
Devoured, fathomless hearts accursed
The sound, a sudden rupture
Light discards the cloak
Fate, the utter infallible
Bestow these spines unbowed
Shade once quelled their nature
Lent courage to the pest
Roots wallowed long in impotence
Severed souls grasp from within
Unvoiced, dispossessed
Unfulfilled desires of coalescent flesh
And so - we weave
Sympathy, unraveling
Once brilliant tapestry
Only memories to mourn
I recall a world forlorn
The storm is ever-near
Another kiss lost to the wind, a courting of tears
Hours so dreadful in depths unknown
Perhaps I am of what spirits forebode
And so - we weave
Sympathy, unraveling
Once brilliant tapestry
Only memories to mourn

Infernal Charade

Infernal Charade
To yearn no more
Now, into what shadows bore
We painted such a cold design
Each brush, a lullaby
Pity, a kingdom unadorned
Majesty, our palace ashore
Like vanishing opaline
The crown no longer despised
Dormant in my ways
Silent days of disarray
Could it be a dream?
The infernal charade
I await, til day undone
The gods remain mute – cult of the sun
Still they pray, praise and song
All deaf Eidolon
Yet hidden forever, the unseen dusk
Lest we are shed of this snide husk
Cruelty, to never be tamed
Vitriol, regrettably innate
My chamber of dim rapport
How fickle our flame
Dormant in my ways
Silent days of disarray
Could it be a dream?
The infernal charade
I await, til day undone
The gods remain mute – cult of the sun
Still they pray, praise and song
All deaf Eidolon

Quavering Sorrow

Quavering Sorrow
Another slumber eludes us
These sullen eyes
A stranger to none but solace
Lifeless - arise
So often my fears untethered
Yet I carry on
The dread, all but severed
And hope withdrawn
To bury our heads
When seeds are sown
Unearthing of depths foreshadowed
Soil abhorred
Lingering now
Let their cephalon sing from guillotines
Take heed, of this crimson symphony
Essence dwindling - scars re-aligned
The gallery crumbles
The tower malign
In this place where nightmares and dreams collide
Quavering sorrows
Unto a shrine - undivine

The Olden Shroud

The Olden Shroud
Unfold your wings
The insolent soar – weaklings
Forever we writhe
Take flight, enthralled by this glorious blithe
Vaniloquent tongues
Underwitted – above
Beyond feathered trails – unsung
Petrified fools, the fearful psalms
Devout to the olden shroud
Will gold not mold their mouths?
Mortal coil unwound
Wonderless oceans of bereavement – we drown
Nourish the wolves at their behest
A patience like the vulture’s eye
Endless pleas that would be blessed
Among the tombs across the sky
Feeble descendant
Abyssal, illogic, sacrificial penance
A vision of remnants

Bliss Entombed
What remained of a withered voice
But fables from the gallow
When all light is void
A lantern lit for wraiths to follow
Hands entwined through the ruins of tryst
Beneath it’s once umbratic carapace
Along the stars, desolate enshrined
To echo beyond the gate
Like ashes cast upon the open sea
Only a storm to carry me
I writhe in depths, the seemingly calm
This vexing sanctum I do befall
These nights that stole our youth
Into the bitter sunrise, my sweet vermouth
Libation and without end
The mourning of intemperance
I writhe in depths, the seemingly calm
Only a storm to carry me
Until rejoined in our bliss entombed
Eternity, the oath untrue
Hands entwined through the ruins of tryst
Beneath it’s once umbratic carapace
Along the stars, desolate enshrined
To echo beyond the gate

The Burning Wrath
Lacerate the mask of dawn
A morning slain
What of paths untrod?
'Twas hate that paves
The burning wrath
Tempered as the blade
The eyeless ones led me here
Stumbling zeal
A glimpse into mirrors
To shatter the seal
Palms starved of avarice
It’s cowardly grasp
The cold hand of subterfuge
Risen at at last
Flesh, a frivolous monument
The marvelous soul
It withers, yet only by countenance
Divine seasons - to eons of bloodshed
The order
Expectations met
Scars were the portals
Through pain manifest
Divine seasons – to eons of bloodshed
I, as ominous as the night
Welcome the eve
Where first light takes me
