The Obsidian Church
The ravens scream from hell
Awakening demons and leading them
Calling the Devil to cross the River Styx
It is time for them to reclaim the world
Remove and destroy all of the saints
Make money their new God and idiots their leaders
Force them to worship at the new altar
Made of gold, blood, and bone of the beaten
Make the

Mystic Crystal Obsidian Oracle
Written: April 5th, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
***************
Crimson blood-colored sunlight
seeps upon the pyramids —
Shadows cast whispers softly
Kings recline on their golden thrones
Kismet intertwines with destinies —
Demons dance in the shine of sacred flames

Obsidian Knights
In shadows cast by moonlit, fading light,
The knights of obsidian rise, shrouded, bold,
With armor forged in the depths of the night,
A whispering tale through the ages told.
Their swords a gleam of darkness, cold and keen,
With every strike, they weave a fate unkind,
For in their hearts a tempest stirs unseen,

Rose Quartz And Strawberry Obsidian
Obsidian and Alabaster join
seamless together a natural spinner;
The better half of each other’s coin,
tossed in the fountain always a winner;
‘Thank you for taking care of me.’ He said
Shaken; I thought he truly doesn’t know;
He’s unaware that with him I never dread
the next day or the day after tomorrow;
Words don’t exist to describe feeling

Auric Obsidian - The Face Clean Behind the Gun
"Auric Obsidian - The Face Clean Behind the Gun"
You drew me into your new world,
the corridors of your mind
fitted me perfectly imperfect
into the portraits pegged onto your wall
an unsuspecting target
from the get-go
groomed on the run
brood mare, surrogate
I hung there like an old coat
you pretended to love
once long ago, well worn

The Obsidian Plague of Midnights
In Spring there’s friendship that’s lasted through the Winter,
all those cold nights of salted drops and quilts of snow.
The obsidian plague of midnights, melancholic drapes,
but all the while the candlelight of friendship did glow.
you’d think she’s the sun -
i wax and wane in restraints
having lost my way
The flickering of her tongue as she wet our

Desperate Hope- Glowing Obsidian
A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within
Flowers; a painless, healing, prescription of treatment
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian
Happiness; gives sharp antithesis of lifes oblivion
Tectonic; the plate layer produces a fiery quill of lament
A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within
Waving; a molten brush of colors, results cascadian
A surgeons gift; to be given,

In the obsidian abyss, I melt, feeling the warmth that embraces me
In the obsidian abyss, I melt, feeling the warmth that embraces me,
Awaiting the flight deep within me, a dream without any hope to measure.
Beside my own self, inseparable in this boundless world,
In an eternity without zenith, I feel tranquility flowing like a spring.
A sensation of wings runs through my veins, murmuring like a mysterious song,
The

Obsidian Mosque
I'm fading away to oblivion
Fates lead me to having a heart made of obsidian
Shatters easily but cuts deep
I'm feeling so weak, I can't believe it's been weeks
Since we last had the chance to see
Each other, its tearing me apart
You're about to be my baby mother, and I don't know where you are
We met

Obsidian Night
A will-o-the-wisp so fancy and free
A vagabond prince a wanderer be
Arousing no fear but blinding my sight
Under the cloak of obsidian night
Soon out of the pitch I heard a strange noise
My hair stood on end I then lost my poise
Crept up from behind so rancid of breath
A red-eyed demon who foretold my death
There deep in

Love Is Rainbow Obsidian
Love is rainbow obsidian,
dark and light in every color;
Simply glowing from the inside
splatters of hues vast and endless;
Dark and light in every color,
a rock for you when you need it;
Splatters of hues vast and endless,
facets of personality;
A rock for you when you need it,
held together warm and grounded;
Facets of personality,
they revel in their

Obsidian
Darkest heart a ruddy black
Dried blood and static
Blackest of black eyes roll in empty space
The darkest night in deepest oblivion
Of volcanic hell frozen in place
As millenniums fell, a black so deep
It rivals your darkest heart,
A heart of obsidian black seeps
Fragile as obsidian a clouded frosted glass
No fire of passion or hate

Obsidian the Midnight Cat
I’m a midnight cat, by the name of Obsidian,
eyes golden by candlelight; by day they’re viridian.
As I lay here among my Mistress’s great books,
I am wondering what, for my supper, she’ll cook?
Mistress is a Seer, a Shaman, a Mage and
these books contain magic, spells upon every page.
This map too, is magic, it charts her
