Death KneltIn 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 piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

Saint Catherine Was ExcaliburI always said tether to the void
Not any idealistic reason or choice

Where no one can hear you outside yourself

No One Is LookingCadence lowers its tenebrous tempo
Dulcet to a morose Memento Mori-bund

And he is well anticipated
To blow the world away

The truth about WarsSome wars are fought for honour,
and some for wealth and greed.
But the guilt that man does carry,
will make his heart bleed.
Some hearts are full of hatred,

The Siren's callI do not know from where
the cloud came -- a chilling
din voice, knowing each name
a phantasmagoric display

GraveyardI watch from this quiet place,
Standing upon the frozen ground.
I pull the coat around my frame,
Bracing against winter's breath, wondering
how I got to this place.

Blue VoidBeautiful blue surrounds me,
Sandy shore in the distance,
Palm trees dance on the breeze.
