Seasons of Decay

The long awaited apostasy

Treachery is ecstasy

Summer’s self-satisfaction

The cleverest of distractions

All the while dead things grow

Creep of power crawling low

I am coming for you breathing frost

No ocean no desert too...

Dark Age

12 years on and hating life
Painting sorrows with a knife
I wish I could say I believe
There’s a future to retrieve
But loss to loss day after day
Drains hope completely away
So don’t mind me as I disengage
I’m just entering my own dark...

I am on an island

I am on an island alone and free
Open ocean is all my eyes see
I am happy I believe
Or am I being deceived
I am on an island alone
Just me all unknown
No one will come to the rescue
And sometimes I have the best view
But my island does...

I feel

I feel
I loved you long ago
I feel
I’m losing what I know
I feel
I’m not sure it was real
I feel
I’m past the point to heal
I feel
I am so tired all the time
I feel
I am losing faith in rhyme
I feel
I’ll finally be happy again...

I can end it for you

“I can end it for you”
The voice glided gently into my being
Seemingly un-originate and endless
I sensed it could’ve hit like a tidal wave
Obliterated my mind with raw power
Divine and ineffable light immolating me
Instead it soothingly...

Darkness blackness

Become naked before me
Peel off your clothes so I can see

No more lies only exposed skin
Pretense is replaced by the sin

Your truth is ugly underneath
Bloodstained sword pulled from its sheath

Lay back now and take me inside
In your...

Lament

Losing ourselves one day at a time
Struggle to find life’s reason and rhyme

We’re swimming out to sea in uncharted waters just to feel something
When you’re desperate enough, dying for anything is better than living for nothing

Humanity’s...

What You See In Me

Your eyes blacker than the oceanic abyss

Falling I fell carefree into their bliss

I thought you had saved me from hell

I was born again from what I could tell

But as I held you greedily in my embrace

As I studied the expression of...

Exorcism

Writhing screaming atop my bed

Hopes for the future are all dead

The creatures feast and fester inside of me

Blackening my thoughts till I no longer see

Tearing me open and sewing me back...

Prayers for the Departed

Long it has been

So very long since you last rested in my embrace. I can remember the warmth of your body as I held you against mine. Your aroma danced for my senses and I knew life was worth the...

Melody of you

How long I have waited for you

To see the shape of your smile

And hear the song of your laughter

You were Venus and Aphrodite at their best

Radiating light and warmth

Your light did not discriminate

Poor and rich were welcome to...

Undressing

Late at night when all light has disappeared
All my might just to fight this creeping fear

Will they see?
Watching me?
I must keep my facade

All this fright
Out of sight
Please let me...

Modern Vampire

I see you, you see me
The Darkness, surrounding

I wonder how you
will feel against me?
Life and light far gone
Now I'm free

You're cloaked in black
Empty but without lack
 
What is it you want?
Or is it just the...

Passing Day

Time races on
Pulling us at blistering speeds
My face darkens with shadow
The light in my eyes fade
Strong hands begin to tremble
I am left with only memories of earlier days
Look back to see a few years have become twenty
Before we know what has...

Ego Eimi

Through a fog of inky black
You search for substance
Where there is naught but lack

Here in my maze of mind
Nihilism so fine
Objectivity failing to...
