Long Aphotic Poems

I.
You can always tell by the eyes
When they’re starting to go
You’ll fall for a few of their lies
Before you begin to know
And you will just defy it
(But they know you will never go)

They’ll glide through...

Dour gray granite monolith,
the tower rises, stark, against the velutinous grenadine
of the dusk filled evening sky.
As the god of night draws his opaque cloak
across the world in his eternal battle
against the god of light.
Ever vigilant,...

oh precious, dulcet diva, ocean-tide
you, of sand and foam and spindrift -
all your moods and meanderings
speak deep my spirit, wistful and wan
musings captured, gist enraptured …

       I listen, close...

I siphon the twilight ether
    like sweet smoke from apple wood
      I draw its magic IN, (as the kiss of a hookah)

Dance for me now ...

Eyes of polished onyx pierce me like the keen edge
          of a scalpel, deftly wielded ...

The blood of my black heart flowing...

Her anthem was silently set on fire,
 the wounds on her back ,
where wings had once carried
the burden of hope aphotic,
as the bleeding had ceased to flow.

Wrath whirled in the air, and satan manoeuvred  around.
Darkness enclosing around, with memories of the past jeering at me.
Pain blistering my heart breaking my being, shattering me
Their laughter ringing in my ears.
Cold wind pricking...

Life is a song,
incomplete, yet soothing—
lullabies lulling the world to sleep
with its balladic lilt, gently swaying 
to the depths of its nomadic 
syncopation.

Where I can subdue archaic
hieroglyphics in hues of 
rose gold notes, invading my...

There is a darkness in my life, 
a forecast of torrential rain that drowns my heart with sorrow,
and its gloom clouds my mind, 
washing away any hope for tomorrow,

This darkness overshadows me, 
eclipsing whatever light...

The Aphotic semblance rises against her face
The king of shame reigns over all
Her Hallows are mine
We are the same, Josephine
Explain to me this sacrificial empathy
Josephine

"I'm living; the slowest way to die"
Hold on, my Josephine, everything...

The Aphotic rays reach higher
And shame, shade reigns over all
Lacuna, Apathy is all I feel as I fall into the ashed grave
I'm living, the slowest way to die
Elysia, rapture where are you now

What will I...

We're teaching our kids lessons,
that they would learn anyways

Why not teach them knowledge,
that they may never find out

The aspects of life that we examined,
stumbled upon in the moment

A lit firefly in the aphotic night,
that may...

Overgrown with trees and weeds,
abandoned long by men and breeds,
still,haunting darkness reigns
into this forest,the mossy path leads.

Inhabited by ferocious brutes
and unknown trees laden with red fruits,
walk seems prolonged,yet energising,
the path being punctuated by protruding roots.

There,amidst...

The ancient midnight pearl, 
governed by a obfuscated sea of mysteries.
Mid night pearl hermetically sealed,
in the tenebrous clams mouth. 
Midnight pearl,calmly laying on a bed of sand. 
Far below,dark below, but still gleaming.
Round.
Lustrous. 
Flawless. 
Brilliant....

In last clear winter night  
I saw red light like a phoenix
a light careening downward
against the canvas of aphotic sky.

Present were the planets 
which aligned among constellations,
passenger planes embarking with clarity 
out on their...

I whisper into the silence to see if anyone is there
While the moon casts a calm reflection I wonder what I will hear
The voices of timid strangers roaming through the night
Invited by the darkness convincing...

Walking merrily about did John J go 
Did fright a come about his usual glow
Scared to walk in dark and muddy rays
Tersely rehearsed in fragile ruddy greys

Drops of iced earth 'neath his sullen feet
Trodden spirits...

you …

whisper me -
regular intervals, but
brief, dim … softly skipping …
like echos from a shadowy wood
the words trouble my spirit
with their dark gravity
soft-speak fingertips
burning flesh for passion’s sake
etching their truth
more fiercely than blood …
your desire...

Shipping mountains of expanse it gains the above,
a smooth sheen of aphotic immensity 
gate-crashes the sky.

We watch as a vast inclination to be enormous 
break free of the tenebrous deep.
It has now a ribbed and...

I lost my mien I lost my unity
To the shadow of tartarus 
Abided by the doom of iniquity
To the horde of vicious
Ached by the blamed chastity 
To the blood of befouled gravitas.

I lost my alias...

when your darkest hour is met 
and your deepest fear brought forth 
your stranded with no escape
your alone with no remorse 

your mind will escape all rationality 
as poison engulfs your heart
