Alabaster Porcelain on a Ghost

...The diaphanous hush whispers of the nightshade, 
float upon petals red breeze, 
like the ethereal crypt sigh of a crimson lachrymose fountain vein,
fully opening - to release;

Here I'm a flock ...

Death Knelt

...In the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,
like a cipher's dark emerge,
thorns burst contradiction ...

Dry Ice Surface

...In the abyssal depths, hope is bled dry to die
A requiem for all blurs my vision, blurry and blind
The stars distant fading whisper, loses glimmer
As creation's song is reduced to a mournful shive...

Break

...works gore ate my face
benthic void with water devoid
clear as yesterday
petal wilts rose cloy
visage made a mockery
nocturne flicker shines
grin was a jester miles wide
silver on marble
fene...

Summer Heatwave

...Agonizing shrieks, -lips curl, wink*
before I was weak, -savage entity
spellbound dreams, -madness deity
grotesque fusing.            -ruler of the fray
                Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Lost Forever

...Despite this monster inside me
Despite this creature I have become 
Something more siren than human
Beckons to the benthic of woe
I must be crazy
This cannot be real

Then the words crawl into...

...In the tenebrous, xenial realm of the lake, where human cadavers oscillate, suspended by verdigris chains, a lamia of unholy provenance, orchestrates a gambits cavalcade.

Each mortal she ensnares,...

Benthic

...in the twilight zones
of the ocean
you will find me
dimly lit from within
for camouflage, for
spotting those I fear
would steal my hazy glow

I am surrounded by
others who linger here,
half...

Imagination As Tragedy

...I met her on a towering cruise ship,
the Benthic Princess, a vacation trip.
Her platinum hair shimmered in waves,
a beckoning smile that asked me to stay…
That first dinner was quite magnificent,...

Narwhal- Our Life

...Known for my large tusk coming from my canine tooth that is protruding,
Sexually attracted to the six years old female though I m thirteen,
Was swimming for predation, saw her chasing my favorite p...

Electronics

...The electronics clambered, numbered incessantly the pixels
Evermore they quoted as they looked sheepishly beyond the waving kelp 
But how many fonts hold fast to the batholiths where benthic crawle...

Scoundrels of the Sea

...Hunter
         Deadly scoundrels
     Waiting with argus-eye
            Living benthic
 

                Lunger
       Breed of the dreads
   Bull, tiger and great white
             Attac...

This Is For Underestimating

...I'm feeling good, so I think I'll kick some multi syllable rhymes,
It's a known factor that I flow in undefinable time,
Because I'm killing it, I'm at an undeniable height,
and if you don't like it t...
