Texian Macabre ArenaThe First Texian Macabre Arena Ballad (The extended free-fallen edition)
In another life, is where I first saw your face!
One summer afternoon, lying wounded next to the dead
Unopened gun powder, mass destruction, a land of disgrace
A blood thirst battlefield is where I first saw your...

A Macabre Dance
silky, shapely, shameless seductress, swaying
tantalizing, torrid, entangled twining
languid, luxe, libidinous, luscious luncheon ~

A Macabre DanceFred was taking a break after working hard for weeks
to find a cure for awkwardness for guys like him--geeks.
He dreamed of being suave. Oh, how he wanted to dance!
But work and having two left feet denied him the chance.
The door flew open then. In...

A Danse MacabreAlong a winding country road
one autumn’s day of late,
I chanced upon an aged abode,
up a hill beyond a gate.
The house was old and quiet,
not a person 'neath its roof
but in a tree close by it
perched a bird, somewhat aloof.
It cawed and cawed audaciously
then quickly flew...

Narrative
Macabre GaietyTake my senses away
Make me crazy,
Stir some memories
Make a story;
Oh, Love me to death,
Give me a life then kill me.
Show me the way
Then lead me astray,
Enrich me with love
Then waylay me;
Be my friend, betray me,
Be my God, bedevil me.
Let's congregate in a tavern
Worship in this...

Macabre EyesAnger tends to burn through one's soul.
Smoldering hatred causes macabre looking eyes.
Then the sane mind fades as sanity tries,
but the battle within fails to keep peace.
You deceive yourself consuming your own heart while,
quenching your thirst with your own blood.
You rant and break, which should cause...

Lyric
Calls My NameThe orb calls to me, beckons breast beat,
blood in veins permeates, face red with heat,
as I asphyxiate, am dominated, reach climax.
Each time lustful, more powerful, sensual.
I crave this fix, my only reason to exist,
addicted to what only it can give, aahhhh.
Run my hands across thy...

Makabre MarionettaHey mommy I am here to play
Daddy and brother are on the way
To the underworld where I sent them
By gutting tummies and dissecting
Innards go to outwards on the floor
Faces you can’t recognize anymore
Low and behold they still breathe
So I drowned them in the...

Bear Cub and ButterflyBlinking away the last vestiges of slumber,
the cub takes a few tentative steps,
her paws sinking into the soft,
loamy soil.
With each cautious movement,
she pauses,
her small nose twitching,
as she samples the myriad of scents,
that permeate the forest.
The world beyond the den,
is a wondrous tapestry of sights,
sounds, and...

Our Droplet RipplesSailing the seas of life, we find ourselves adrift, carried away with no compass or map to guide our way.
Our bodies, two vessels destined for collision on the jagged cliffs of the fray, ensnared by death’s velvet chains bound our amatory embrace.
Shipwreck that leaves us...

Salvage A WhirStair carefully dear into the unknown abyssal void.
Pier was once past and now rotted and rictus, petrified.
Hue manatee threaded ten den and garnet.
Ruby teardrops and crimson Damascus drips droplets,
like a leak key faucet in the dead of night.
Scarlet necklace four by one who did sow...

Enigmatic PerspectiveAmongst the treetops a falcon finds its prey
Swooping down talons open to grasps it
Only to let it drop so it’s bones will shatter
Questions have arisen in the coming days
Am I in the talons or am I the falcon hunting
A gunshot is heard with a burst...

Pathetic HusksI detest cowards who cower at night's darkness,
afraid of shadows and their own demons.
Fear is a thief that steals courage
and leaves only cowardice in its wake.
Be a warrior, not a weakling.
Face your fears,
and let the darkness fuel your lights...
