Crawling through the forest of my mind
As she settled upon the lid of my cyanide drenched shut eye,
Dark and handsome,my fantastical,mystical blue-black butterfly,
I felt her sharp sting rip through my flesh like a poison arrow,
So I fluttered my eyes open at first slow and narrow.
I watched her glide gracefully away,my mysterious winged guest,
As drops of crystal madness fell from her wings to my chest,
And then I felt a drop like rain plod delicately on my face,
So I scanned my crimson fingers on its intricate black lace.
First with my rotating head,swinging feet then raked through back,...

Midnight Somersaults(airs,lairs,hairs and stairs)
It's a dead-end street on the edge of Mortals' Creek
A midnight madness,a graveyard lunar eclipse
Where the ghastly sound of dead men reeks
And my thorn-infested mind goes on celestial trips.
Rivers of grey throw dice in the still night air...
And sometimes when my soul flies on Time's golden stallion
And the black tulip between my eyes withers into flames
I glide with a flowy surrealism in my solo battalion
My nightmares revisit me,and the ghosts with forgotten names
Chanting tales of the famous solar beast's cold,humble lair...

Catatonic Coma
It creeps gently over me like an enchanted vine,
Trashing my blackened veins with its toxic spell,
Chaining thorns of skeletal nightmares around my spine,
And ensnaring my cryogenic soul in its paralysing shell.
Ribbons of knotted silk spread their ominous wrath,
Embroidering onto every muscle the sign of the silent,
Weaving myths of the unknown on every forgotten path,
Planting figments in my mind,so sweet yet so violent.
With a whiff of the undead,serenity elapses,
Injecting into my eyes a dread of acid hauntings,
Sketching strands...

I am S.H
Her bed of nightmares floats out in space,
Laden with horror and trimmed with black lace.
Her distorted spine dances in the moonlight,
Echoes of a forgotten song ricochet in the night.
A falling star plummets before her eyes,
And in that moment strips her of her disguise.
A heart of black appears shredded in her core,
And from it thick,black ink oozes to the floor.
A delicate ribbon of thought constricts her soul,
Chaining her broken spirit,the colour of coal.
She tries to fight the demons reaching out to her,
But they choke her and make...

Rented Labyrinth(Burgundy Myth)
Dark memories of grey fade in a flowy haze,
As I awaken entranced in a midnight haze,
A crimson labyrinth whose shameless secrets remain,
And whose serpentine alleys twist beyond age's train.
A flash of death flutters swiftly before my eyes,
And in Death's vision I fumble for my disguise,
My unsightly mask I wear beneath my face,
And upon my dainty countenance it adds an air of grace.
Ominous blue skeletons claw through my spine,
And leave a scent of vermillion,so dark yet divine
As beads of steel crawl out of my skull,
And a scream like...

Atramentous Edge
She douses her rusted spikes in hell's nine infernos,
And stabs them serenely into her pallid iris
She howls in agony,thrust in Death's ravenous throes
And screams diabolically in the dark splendour of her crisis.
Silver specks of shattered dreams slit her pitch-black veins
Carving a tale of betrayal into her web of wilting bones
Only an entrancing flicker of demonic shadows remains
Burying what's left of her beneath their blood-splattered thrones.
A winged dungeon of darkness seeps into her twisted brain
As she tugs at her golden bracelet,a gift...

Silver Mis(s)anthropy
Drenched in the musty stench of blissful oblivion
I wither into the realm of Death's immortal pavilion
Where sand dunes of gentle musings pulsate from every mourner
And the drone of stone cold dirges reverberates from all six corners.
Promenading in the depths of Midnight's sombre day
I vomit an irascible thread of iridescenty minty-gray
As it flops to the ground, so delicate and chaste
I glance down to find a silvery chain laced around my waist.
Enamoured of the Stygian light the moon bleeds from its core,
An unforeseen dread infiltrates me as my...

Crescent Moons Don't Die
Melanoid nightmares strangle my midnight reveries,
And leave behind their trail of haunted memories,
A rancid stream of ebony psychosis floats by,
Tearing a hole of dread and misery in the grim sky.
As crimson strokes stain my inky walls in doom,
The crystals in my eyes pierce my thoughts with gloom,
A crown of wailing devils encroaches on my soul's breath,
Twisting and tightening to my spirit's ultimate death.
A mystical feather drifts through the folds of mist,
And reposes itself daintily upon my tainted wrist,
As it injects a dark...

Crooked Hearts get lost in Broken Streams
I see it dancing in her heart,
This shredded beast of razor rendezvous
I see it melting in her veins,
This cyanide unicorn,this bane of happiness
I see death in her eyes,hell in her heart,
And an ominous shadow beneath her every smile.
I hear it banging in her throat,
This mystical roar of angels forgotten
I hear it tinkering in her soul,
This poetic verse,this melancholy rhyme
I hear madness in her voice,sadness in her laugh,
And a blood-curdling scream behind her beautiful melodies.
I feel it crawling in her bones, ...
