Fading stars cloak the blistered midnight skyline, whilst burning embers of a whistling fire swirl mournfully in the impending winter winds. Alabaster flakes drift, creating dunes along the receding shoreline. I lay between long-forgotten beach bones, memento mori. Breath catches in my throat, and all the while, I press my cyanotic fingers against the crumbling relics, tracing what was once porcelain life, now abandoned,...

The Morgue Necropolis
Laid naked and bare, Dilapidated beyond repair, Deeper within the dark bowels of ruined Ultair, Whose ruler is a Litch, A city rises from a darken phosphorous pitch of shadows and mists of unhallowed portraiture whose sights are akin to visual torture. Where evils forgotten lie in one's peripheral, perpetuating fears begotten and ethereal. Do not fret and be a fool. Lest you forget what...

Canticles of Necropolis
From silken mists scarred stones give tongue To canticles raised to twilit drear, Of frolicked hours when seasons were young, And Promise chastised every fear. Once brightly smiled upon our days The kindly sun of Life's beauteous womb, The reaching hearts, our breathless gaze Died not nor sleeps within this tomb, But thunders soft from lips long stilled No lonely dirge, nor dour 'plaint, For...

Necropolis
The binomial scrolls list captive waste, But the breathing chrysalis bound to the dark Secured to the radian orbital stone In the peripheral absence of the lark She breathes alone She remains unknown She has no divisor to wilt her life Nor governing census of phylum and foe No patent pending inscription to wear She has no divisor and no ratio She is entombed But she’s...

Necropolis
April rains over my body like a dripping faucet at night it forms a cold rind around my eyes and fills a borrowed dinner jacket like the double-chin of a fat, sweaty lecherJohn. this body's swollen and the earth turns to sea around me. Rosewood; Oak; pine-slabbed flotilla bobbing downstream downup, down, up like the...
