You went
To the concealed alcove
Wily pre-emptive dispatch
I starve
For the vault inside you
Secrete through the floors
As I tear for the latch
Rid me
Of your vex absolute
Swallowing knives
Manic drifts rebuked
Tanacity
Swelled by the stabs
Arced to strike deep
Into the race of flesh-clad
The show
A spectacle of night, disturbed
Like fools
They act in guise, elude
Contortion
Stretch limbs across skinned heaps
Begrimed tribe
Crestfallen release
You sit
Sit and wait, the organs quake
Avid bites
Your pulp separates
I gather the spit, the dirt
Etched in oak, soaked
And molded in deliberate folds
I am the lord of ravage
I will slay the savage
To scorch decrees, condemned
To ban their lives and cause their end
Threshhold charred
Reinter
Grim fires
Ruthless bursts
Climb the spire
It twists through skulls
Cracked to shards
As the bone is dulled
Trademark thrust
Invite the wretch
Flood those caves
The noxious invade
Entice the nest
Infectors spread
Two-faced
Cut-throat
The blaze
Kills all
The might of these forces
Alight the coals in my eyes
Sludge upon jagged hooks
Husks snagged, horned, and confined
Hellbent on ripe torsos
The gnawed crevice now exposed
A labyrinth, false merriment
Unravel the stained, flayed ropes
Held strongly by a famine
Tinged black by dead seams
The neck of the womb snaps
As the floodgate impales thee
Your whim lifts the carrion
The hunt beckons to preach
Molested inebriation
The cask spills out the leech
Nestle in rectums
Intervene
Crimson rogue
Bursting spleens
Grappling claws
Strapped down
Sour warm splash
Spoilers abound
The black begetter
Spat out shards
Of a host returned
Prowess in arms
Splintering
The carcass sings
Dripping gore
Let wrath be born
Lunacy in flight
Plea for the whip
To shred your spine
By the stench of the crypt
Receive the clout
Upon blood reigns
It mars the shell
To coax and maim
Soil emission
The vile decision
Perverted vision
Conformed defamation
Sight elusive
You dine on the liege
Inflamed and crazed
The beast abates insolvency
Faith conclusive
The flightless besieged
Our hearts are poached by lust alone
Give way to the hunger of the thieves
Prostituted mercy
Inane crimes taint all
But the common trait of cunt parades
Will best the profane dolls
Unreasoned premise
For fucking with me
Your ploy of old will self-implode
Submerged in love’s feces
Harloquin!
Expire.

The hissing
On my ear, scratch to bisect
All/No stars juxtapose
Endless jaunt to Vega and back
Below dirt, the core
The sun, the same, nothing can be more
Trees of similitude
Aspire/Duel to be something more, but nothing more
Lights
Absent nights
Refract through skies
Do you see/hear the wave?
ONLY relativity is the way
Ice falls upon me
As it will others, soon
As it did in the past
They will see
Cries have no hope
But how harmonious they sing
An orb floats through the clouds
Waivers by sonic leaps
As of this night, I wish to be as weightless,
As swift,
Then I could flee/free the ecliptic
Escape - drape - the course
Laughter abominates
Louder! Roaring laughter even louder!
The shrieks of children or a train nearing halt...
It permeates and breaks!
Brute fear, or torture,
Purposeful
Lingering on by choice
Conceive me mad?
No; a host of others follow me
To agree is to achieve
What life may come of it?
Like a frost
Lanterns twist off
Nebulae
The sun escapes...
Well-deserving, thou valued sphere
Cabin of marrow
Thatched black - gamma rays
Frequent bombardment
A waste on the fray/sane
Stemmed from smoke
Quiver - I/You quiver
ON this cold metal - elaborate
Cough while hearing the added hiss of the water
Skin scraping out spots
The light dimmer - yet still
Human retreat
The madness completes
A sign in the shadow
Oncoming
Heat rises from roars
Fires from throats - Be it solar?
Death to them
The view transpires
Of blood and stars
But one in the same? Post hoc?
Lead bombshells
Mantels growing, the crust storming
Hands clawed
Scrawled in sand
Random lambs - of waters
Lunar scribes,
proposals cast
Let all be known
By Inward Throes
The limbs overhead
A friend/fiend painted my eyes
Are you disguised?

Crystalline Kinds
Walking past lycanthropy - beyond
Innards caught in spokes
The Real gates are closed
Absorbed, to close
Lightly scattered
But potent indeed
Indeed they prick to kill!
Yet the kind still exist, yet
Yet they do dare still live!
Roots heaved, numbered, for redemption
Mask upturned
Secrets learned
Away with sleeves
Shed the microbe
Under the green
Search out the holes in the sphere
Unearthed and waiting, they are there
Waiting/Hoping
Stuck to us, weens
....Herds of Power
We’re alone
Guarding the stones, the white-blinding stone,
Reflects the light we despise
It is not the truth nor a means
An unknown sadist sun
Taunts, but we will not see
Tumultuous
Magnet belt unwound
In rounds
Aurorae
Of Abaddon
Medicinal
Flashing
Writing to a space that does nothing to relay,
Fornicate alone
Hearsay renowned,
the flight will unveil a rut in the clouds
A circle drawn, and halved with ease - so limber
Bludgeoned mirrors, bounce the light - malicious
A Total of nine, a sum - the ninth is our convention
I detect the loveless breath
It strikes my head
Depart/the start of few
Life accrued by pale tissue
Harpoons flew
North to West
It did tragically descend
A star - my credo - gas fueled libido
Where we began
Perpetuate and escape
The orbital crease
No determinate
Raping the flux
Streaming the gaps in black spatial ducts
Wormholes bending, belittled, insane
Itch the compound and cut into parts
Stinging, Clinging
Acidic lament retard
From Demonic vistas
A Magician’s List...
So walk the line - No letch can hide
It’s pumping your bellows
I scrub at my marks, charms
Swirling, this Earth’s learning
This House of Lords
White-haired with age
Poor ichor
None more wet
As we have been
Vainglory in heart
Shall we start?
I need more
More
A Cathartic Farce ------
Far beyond lightfall
Where temperatures fail
Conglomerate mass - and heat, of change, and state -
non-mass
Probes the might of luminality
In stagnant persona
Our flagship resumes
To take back all mavens
Held as slaves in green rooms
Using programs of meal worms
They squint through my fold
Fluorescently privileged
Only space can seize the glow
Unto future children
Who gather unwhipped
I cry, laugh, and call - of sounds, and sights -
non-life
Whole orders do submit
Foul moons
Dead suns
Lost Epsilons
Too thin for consumption
It will wait.

Frozen air calms caustic thirst
For sword to wreak in red deluge
Vanquish strife through skill well-versed
And plunge the edge through pithless girths
An ebon guild bred in dark discipline
Honed and befouled by masterful fiends
Who wish to hate, thrash, and kill
Woe to the weak as battle draws near
A pact forged abroad in trust and tact
Lords conspire while men haunt the earth
Flaunting capes in a windward face
Laced with bane, war will come enraged
Snow-covered hills, Boundless cavalry
Internal wolf-rage, Sharp-hewing fangs
Guests rape and debase, Satiety not yet gained
The strong evoke shade, Night will be sustained
Those chained stand aghast
at the sight of a brooding pale horse
Veering towards blunt theft,
his cabal gleans all of the countryside
Supreme rule extracts the creed
and cause in the lesser "men"
Teeming with red,
their heads boil by a foiled design and consent
War, Clutch of death
Bloodied palms, The foredoomed locking jaws
Chilling calls, A rallied horde bereaves
Defleshed in eve, Evil ecstasy
The swarm of hooded riders march in triumph
Light has been thwarted
Survivors are gutted, trampled, and pissed upon
Tyranny enshrouds the earth
Impregnate the cunts
And the hearts of sluts
Who dwell within our rule
They live to please us
And may die upon command
Embrace the cruel
The sight of blood
Causes joy in us
Come forth with men to slay
We want the brave and bold
They have precious souls
Carve and eat with no delay
Seasonal terror whets our thirst in stride
The shrills of soon-dead reach orgasmic heights
As growls subside and the murders end
Whores spawn new life - prepare for death again
Millenniums pass without warning
Pangs of deceit grow and are heard
in the slash of a throat
Arise the Art of War!!

All strewn about are words throughout
Give rise to fears allayed
So churns the cog of a trodden worm
Harsh airs live to be slain
O' thriving wind in a cloudless dark
No valor in cerulean sky
The weight will yield to welters of war
With a weary head laid at side
Gird on the sword of your ancestors--
Unbold-scanty of flesh
A plague-It burrows through layers to come
It clings to a weaklings' pledge
This tale is told under countless spells
As a haunting donor forbode
Fleeting thorns within me brew
There lurks an evil three-fold
What counts harsh Fortune casts upon my face"
Imposter of Day--with speed make haste
While Death stalks all in awed hellish gaze
The True storm dauntless past the thickened blaze
A parched reservoir-tapped by the wrong
Horrified, in an age left to rot
The flushed greyish face spawns my ways
Its corpse is torn from aloft
Aligned with macros and stars branching out
Above a decadent land
My passionate wish--a portal unhinged
Reclaim the estranged cosmic stance
Drain salt seas
Steaming mass
Black shade-struck wood
Ashed fog steadfast
Stealth fortified
A masqued charade
Alone with self and witching fame
No sovereign heir
Hoist high the sign
A grisly end
Through toil and time
Begin the descent
Hypnotic dark realm
Witness your curse with Fate at the helm
I dwell soaked in venom
River coated hellbroth
Liquer formed with my will
Entwined by the froth
Dead cells scraped to waste
Demi-"soul" choked by stone
Last breath begs for reign
Of macrocosmic billow
Villanous scent-
From the lake's arid banks
Demonic charm rises
To poison the ranks
Envision the fire o'er global death "lord"
With nothing between our throats and the sword
"I convey my shame out of thine eyes
By looking back what I have left behind"

Upon a solemn and misty grove
As laden gusts seethe
Through a tinged knoll
I see a faint figure, in follage enrobed,
breathing as through me; a spiteful implore
What does thy bid, on devilish grounds,
a dark privilege-uncured blood amounts-
Astound and feign my hour...
It finds no spark in vein-cast out
A lifeless force save a pulse allowed
Encompassing Fate it flees unscathed
by the world's vile vents;
an epoch of raids.
I followed him lurching in a stiff graven form,
hidden by trees swaying in this cold, grueling morn; A
crooning came forth from the infants of night,
it carries my post, raven-haired for swift ride
But by cause of my play, my voyeur escapes--
the stranger, my captor, awaits...
Did not the past render me defenseless toward him?
On that stark evening dusk when I felt stirred by
love, he eclipsed appetence, lurid vice.
Couldn't utter a word,
as my bloodline was curbed,
and it froze and failed to ignite.
By the red downward sun,
manifest craves to hunt
while the devious named him defunct?
But inwoven by he is pallor wrought to seize
Deft gallows beg my flesh to thee
Now deplete
With yet a willful fate and favor,
Proven worth through searing vines
Virulent boil
In charted disease
Repulsed and sickened, vomit falls unsheathed
No longer for covet or fanciful halls
My liking inclined to discard false evolve
The stories of lore rest in the talons of whores
As for altars and firesides
By chance, out of shadow, we meet once again
On a raised precipice I can see his descent
From a nobler gale--Outrightly high-born
To terrestrial status; plebians forlorned
Of sceptors and pawns untried
This chase endures through drudge and rain
Until a clearing shines up ahead
Sun over hill breeds further disdain
The stranger, my captor, is me
Oh, what a corrupt and malicious find!
Envenomed inside, not company,
but drawn aloof in my eyes;
Tear me out!
Loathing gone, near self-slay, lived and wronged
What ails me so is thy wrath o'er tolls
of the dying, the sick, and the damned
The scorned shore of lost seas holds more
dark thoughts displeased, as to a man
mourning his birth
Desecrate the vaginal tomb!
So long to maurauds of the most intrusive kind
The calling to taint and purge the rime
Like as steel wielding heathen
Rent through ice and bone
And cause the ills to be predisposed
Restless breath in the ear of the dead
Chants an opus; jests further intent
Worth not a curse in black eulogy
Cropping the head and feeding to please
Upon a solemn and misty grove
As laden gusts seethe
Through a tinged knoll
I see a faint figure, in follage enrobed,
breathing as through me; a spiteful implore--
As For Altars and Firesides
