Best Benighted Poems


A Babel of Benighted Psalms

Death orifice my Libidinous command,
I contras life's ecumenical demand!
Now reach down in this thistle grim,
Desolate me with the edged limb.
Grant this voyeur that glimpse of dead,
A comatose where life and I unwed...
As minutes kiss my infidel fawn;
The church's bell will screech at dawn.
-Enthral me now!

Tell me Neith, was all my love in vain?
While blood is surfing in silhouette pain.
Succumb; I've punctured my unfruitful coat,
Birthing wonder if Love she'll emote?
Sable wings retracted like livery spades,
My celestial dream as life slowly fades...
This Dementia spoke to me in a tongue,
But before my babel, my barbed winds gone...

Finally taken from Life's 'Woetopia'
I journey now to Death's utopia!

While my heart still beats through thorn,
Only a few minutes till it's outworn,
Due to Hel I'll never be forlorn,
Alas! as Death I'll be reborn!

When Neith failed this loom of tapestry;
I flee through thick celestial forest atrophy.
The livid scar that put me to rest;
A tourniquet to the sepulcher orb in my chest!

"Due to Life's Ouroboros Limbo Inn,
I couldn't gift a priapic cusp within,
I couldn't caress your silhouette skin,
I couldn't love your sinister kin!"

The revel Dead speak of Summerland,
A masturbation by Death's own hand.
I'll gladly sparkle your path with pearls,
Take you away where meadow depression curls!

For you see- Death is the womb
of our throe forboden, aroused Moon.

On this night tears open the ebon vaults,
A corpse left to indulge all your faults.
The pal laid to my awe desires,
This catafalque God endures weeping choirs.
Psalms sung by Life's clique,
-Part of me might cry and shriek...

-In this storm; An erubescent shower,
released me from my beloved voodoo flower.
There my heart and knife wedded!
Benighted the ground splay blood dreaded.

Through astral Magicks, I decay my flesh,
Too the entangled Moon, that trees enmesh!

... The Summerland

Now I rule as master in this domain,
Finally my swathe depression deplane.
So it can no longer grief and betray,
But I face surplus love sway!

Benighted

Aw sweet Angel, it's you that I seek
all alone jotting up winds so bleak,
for so many hearts I have perversed.
You; another to wield my meanly little curse.

I am the Queen of manifest clay,
Craft my horns despite the pill's delay,
Sleep child, the veil's open on a pagan's feast
such beauty on your heart fully creased.

We'll fly with crows and ravens! Then Daemons
without reasons; a joyless flight throughout the seasons.
A journey, a dream thought to be Babel
another crimson palm succumbs to this fable...

Acheron, Marionette of Seethe
Why have this Daemon gnaw in me?
"Help... is... agony..."

Her crippled hand
tightens this noose
songs whispered from serpent truths 
another mind went bland...

Benighted Human

By the power of death, I condemn you to nothingness

He who lives peacefully in his sumptuous demesne
Shall fall down and feel the agony and pain
For I see benighted human as I see the great eye
Beguile the unreality within his domain

She dissembles her soul, he obscures his remains
The unreal dalliance, umbrella and no rain
An evanescent imaginary, an ephemeral non-existence
Beautiful words, no searing pain

Falling like a rain, dropped from the clouds
Singing like Sinatra, silently but loud
No pyramids, no cane, no calling, no train
He’s like his father, she is really proud

Buried in the clock, all four the same
One, one and one, and again another one
Those probably make 11:11, whatever it is
I’m on my plane

By the power of nothingness, I condemn you to death


Benighted

It is dark
Where the dragon roars
Opening doors that silhouette the fear 
Pupils hung low in insufferable dreariness 
For sleeplessness overcomes my being 
Wrapped ever so tight in my blankets 
With the winds in my mind whistling, strange 
Only to watch the rearranged light of the moon
Full in its glamour 
The moods it does prompt
Unknown to myself
Leaking from my wound 
The pain that does exude 
Prompted by you
Wicked in lure 
Your thoughts so impure 
To have you beckon my restless wonder 
 To hard to close my eyes 
And go under 
And suspend in a peaceful slumber 
When my heart lies so troubling
And my vision is nearly doubling 
Close your doors 
And leave 
For I chose not to receive 
Your pardon

Benighted

The chosen
tone deaf
to their fortune

Musicians
their heads
in the sand

The roadies
eat pizza
still frozen

While Angels
play bass
in the band

Indulgence
the pick 
on their fretboard 

Entranced
by the lure
of the bong

Benighted
the riffs
play without them

Not going
or coming
— just gone
