Death Knelt

In 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 by the unuttered.

Snarl-like grin washes over my visage

Caliginous catacombs hail crimson cadaverous couture,
sculpting masterpieces forge as leather faced misery emulate

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 choreographs and composes cannibalistic magnum opus,
symphonies of squealing cacophony,
phantasmagoric vile orchestra pulsate slay,
hue garnet lachrymose veins heterogeneous idiosyncrasies.

Erebus unleashed a

OCD Overdrive collaboration with Ink Empress


Life is not as sweet as a bowl of golden glace cherries,
nor is there a golden illuminated future for a fruitless mind.
Trembling hands and gritted teeth disguise my disorderly brain, 
feeling lost in the mist, 
surrounded by drowned out voices.

Deceptive chanting charms plant everyday confusion,
with stalking emotions running through my mind's corridors,
carrying a voice that

Anxiety Went Into Overdrive Regarding

Anxiety went into overdrive regarding...
"check engine light" being on

I desperately clutched
(the Peanuts stuffed animal) Woodstock
to help me absorb shock.

What invisible agent
provocateur née ghost in the machine
sinister force hell bent
to rob me of every red cent,
whereby checking account
incurred major dent
(albeit figurative) required
yearly vehicular ownership event.

Unavoidable collision course
with money woes does frankly zap
proud owner of car will

Overdrive

Shifting into tomorrow,
today passing through the exhaust
The RPM’s marking time and space
—direction all but lost

To Really Appreciate Loves High's

The harmony that we feel is the real deal 
And is so worth the fight
Baby, we need to treat each other right 
Let's never be mean or pick a fight
The magic we share is worth the care
Finding our calling is like not falling

When we are aware
Instead of being in despair
Allowing ourselves time to compare
Having a

Overdrive

How pedestrian of you
not to think
outside your box

I understand
sketchy neighbourhood
being too afraid to stop

I don't mean to be insulting

pedestrian has more meanings
but not one of them
speed bump

and as you rock it
in your three ton
cozy bassinet

mind two wheels
despite your vigor is not
a speed impediment

and don't believe 
that that last text
is truly a matter of life and

Mind On Overdrive

Should I write, or should I chill. 
I do this every night, and almost against my will.
Words swarm in. Poaring like rain.
I just want to drink my beer and relax, but they maintain.
How can you win, when the one you're fighting is you.
Either fight or except it, are my only options to do.
I love to

Frenetic Serenity In Overdrive

FRENETIC  SERENITY  IN  OVERDRIVE



God, grant me

 . . . . The serenity to accept the list of things I cannot change,
(But show me daily how to shorten the list
and make cannot into can);


. . . . The courage to change the things I can,
(But give me the sheer brass neck
To try and

Overdrive

Digital nodes stimulate my impulses
into a frenzy of organic delight 
Caught in a synaptic crossfire,
I sigh.
