Practising the Dark Arts

trying to reach my goal……………No soul!
The price that I sold out.

every last breath take……………..Mistake!
The last one (that) I make.

wonder what it might be…………..Mystery!
The universe be…

Piebald Palindrome
Serpents Cross the Anome
A splintered Shell
The shattered bell
Sounds of nothing in backwards hell

Drones alone, drains and drowns
the names and faces
and all sound …

Breeding
desperation;
clawing at the last brick
in a wall wavering above
your death.

Eyes dart
side to side to
frenzied side, sweating fear.
Heat rises off your guilty skin,

“He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword,” he declared. “But this is my path no longer. Now I know that Death is not the end, but the beginning.”

When his father had warned him of the monsters on the streets of New York, he hadn’t thought the monsters were real …

The argument continued.

Shhhh….hush, my soul, he cometh!
Midnight rings from the belfry –
The ungodly hour strikes
And soon the dreadful sound of heavy shoes
Will reach my bleeding ears

_Shhhh….hush, my soul…

By North, South, East and West.
By Flame, Rain, Crystal and Breath.
I Call the Guardians to Witness
The Rite of Righteous rage.
Hear Me!
For I am the Sword Arm
of the Red Queen,
who slip…

I was born such an ugly mother
But my mother said “I looked cute”
…I looked like I fell from a plane
without a parachute!

(I’m beautiful)

I was born so ugly, can’t you see…
When I was…

Alone I went into the night
Alone- no one walked with me.
Although stars and moon were shining bright
Lost love! O – how I mourned thee.

Upon the stars I gazed
Crying out my sorrow
Now…

SHIT … I’m late for work again
But this time the car won’t start
So I tried to get on the bus
Only to see it drive straight past
Nearly taking me out on the way.
Then I walked to the train…

I watch the Dark Moon creep across
And feel Her in my water.
I wonder how long I can hold the rage
Before I start the slaughter.

I prowl amongst the gilded swans
All cloying pastels, per…

Your Right to Party on Rite

I am the mage of
eyes, a crying clown
in the house of sorrows
do you remember me
when I was there
at the pylon of a million bleeding dreams,
and in the lighthouse the keeper moves us all…

Receded and Receiving
The Serpentine and Bleeding
Patterns of tunneled decay
sustaining shattered lanterns
in the unfrozen flowing (night)
My eyes exploding lightning
the fractured actors…

In the glass garden
of perforated night
embulated the seeping reeds my roaming vines
eyes crystallized
only now is the mating
of screeching temples
blighted by fingers reaping and
rowing…

We’re not happy mother-fuckers, we just play them on your TV.
And we’ll drink all our sorrow, in soul-debt for tomorrow.
Send the coke to our head until we are dead,
at least then we think w…

Chapter 1
An end and a beginning

The thunder cracked and lightening raced across the dark stormy sky. Asphodel let out a piercing cry stronger and louder than rolling thunder. He swept …
