Nocturne of Wounds

...A pallid night, a void's umbral reign,
Emptiness, a phantom, claimed the lane.
A dirge of noir, a melancholic strain,
Echoes, sepulchral, whispered in the rain.
The phantasmal memory, a haunting ...

Where Death Worms Writhe

Woven arrows of bleakness

...1.
Raucous winds sweep pristine waves 
against gods' sepulchral canvas as
stagnant, sharp wings' frames rose from malnourished hearts;
ends of elongated crosses marked beginnings
of rotten, veno...

Macabiloquent Mastery

...As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heav...

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
