Sarah’s Origin
My eyes stare straight,
fixated on something in the distance,
humming a song that would send chills,
if you ever got the chance to listen.
A padded cell and a straitjacket,
the doctor giving one of his ‘visits,’
his moans...

Whereby yours truly presages and doth abhor
nothing short of an imminent civil war
dwarfing insurrection on January 6, 2021
oddly enough even reducing
ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting...

Like Rabbit In a Headlight Caught
PTSD
Like rabbit in the headlight caught
I want to move, i know I ought
But quicksand stuck, I’m petrified
My body still, arms laid by side
Stretched out on mattress, naked, soaked
From sweat in which my body’s cloaked
My eyes...

Saint Catherine Was Excalibur
I always said tether to the void
Not any idealistic reason or choice
Now suspended I know why I’ve been devoid
Because how can one speak with an inside voice
Where no one can hear you outside yourself
Dawn of...

Lips Curl At Your Fiddles
(Piece is intended to be the most complex vocabulary gothic ever)
Grandiloquence,
mellifluous pulchritudinous,
gaiety of quintessential moistening serendipity,
bile deluge if you show the sanguinary breath,
crimson waterfall sizzling on lava rock hellscape.
Yclept necrophelia maestra,
macabre tableau,
dips douse abyssal incarnate,
now...

Leather Piecemeal
As mortal veils dissolved, our bodies merged in the ossuary's somber symphonies, two mistress awakened by the velvet-wrapped cadavers, our disinvested hands tracing syllabic patterns across the olive verdure of our skin, as maelstroms of...

I am disinfected, sanitised from touch and eyes
Do not hold me. I am Bakelite and you smolder
Sat solid, the wall cold against my spine. A back-rest
To concrete electrocution.
I am distilled from Suburbia and...

Vepertilian
Lest I halt this pervasive thought that’s wiggling in to perform something indescribably ineffable. As repose in this boudoir, my ossuary exudes a graveolent aura, a baleful lust for the necromantic. Ink on this tapestry...

Look Back in Anger to June 2024
You, current denizen of Number Ten
With gleaming Colgate smile and Gucci shoes,
Take serious pause for thought, reflect on when
The voters all reject you and you lose.

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 shiver
This earthly sarcophagus,...

Letter To My Bitter Tears
A gorgeously dressed “tears” in unknown fears.
How dare you abseil my cheek-beards
in horror of cheers my rictus is smothered to share?
It is clear to glare how bitter your wares are.
You declare your flair through my...

Cup of Tea Dear
Tumble the marble blue and green,

tea wistfully crusted in the wind blow.
Apple cherry and pineapple, all good,
delicious and decadent in flavor sips,
careful dear there’s, something, lips…
Mirror here you seem to...

To Rose Who Is Far Away From Me
I think of you being a universe away—
it cuts like broken glass, being apart from you
and all alone and without a bright ray
that's you to keep me from growing so blue.
If I could fly...

Rose Red Pyre Black Petals
Visceral incantation from onyx velvet lips,

Breast bang dolorous dirge ignition of limbs,

Paradox Lake - Thanksgiving 1972
Corny: I haven't used real butter
In years
Only eat this fake crap now the
Colorful plastic tub
Slather it on the baked potatoes
All you like
Won't hurt you none as a left eye
Twitched some
His gleaming mouth stretched,...

We are a species gnawing at the roots of existence, hellbent on self-immolation, our every endeavor a funiculus of futility. The argent legacy of our forebears, squandered by imbecilic hands that molded us into hollow...

Where Is Thy Sting
The hand, now cold as alabaster,
the one that stroked my fevered brow,
or applied the Germolene and plaster,
is old and withered and lifeless now.
Kind eyes, the first I ever saw,
watched over my formative years,
watched as I...

I felt it, yet I really cannot explain
There, it just happened once again
A burning desire to clap and cheer
But hold on, there is nobody here
Perhaps I’m starting to go off piste

Rebecca - a Poem For Halloween
Spume and snow on a cold green sea
wherein phantom fish and spectres creep;
she lies in fathoms forty three,
as still as death within the deep.
She slumbers there beneath the waves,
serene beneath the...
