Yonder

Yonder, 
How true so it sounded, behold,
Beyond imagination, beyond truth,
As far as horizons eternally go, 
I know you are there, yonder.

Will a Snow Yeti,
eat many Good and Plenty.
While sneaking up on You.
Well, that may be true.
But you'll  hear them coming.
They play the Didgeridoo.

Frolicking In the Dark

Frolicking in the Dark
witches on wild brooms, black cats with red, hungry eyes - daylight on the way

Premium Member Child Witch

When she was twelve, 
she discovered a spell 
to keep her christian mother 
from walking in her room, 
catching her reciting a spell, 
and beating the crap out of her.


Reclaiming Our Lives

Little steps towards solitude 
Inner eye feasts on control
When small belief is penitent, impetuous 
Growing doubt buried

Rise from the shackles of fury
Reclaim the lost goal

Tir na nog - A Tragic Epic Saga

Tír na nÓg - A Tragic Epic Saga

ye hear, of a leprechaun and a unicorn who met in a field’s corner
a he and she, she killed by a tree, when it fell he couldn’t warn her

Under the Moon

When people retreat
Wind will then fill the moonlight into the street 
The sound of the crickets heard like flowing water 
In this dim night, no one wonders it's in the  Swan Lake

Premium Member Try To Imagine

Listen to poem:
over and over again
in my mind
i try to imagine our reunion
but each time
my heart
blows a fuse
and i'm left all alone
with my empty arms
in the dark

The midnight masquerade ball.
Seemingly slight brocade shawl.
Beseechingly glance, decayed hall.
Haunted trance, unafraid fall.
Vaunted skies evade all.
She tries dissuade call.
Decree daylight, unmade, befall.

Premium Member Samhain Blessing

Flame throwing flower held by a scream,
Maniacal laughter, dark fantasy;
Blood on the face of a clown
fresh smile an imprint of a frown;
Nothing is at all what it seems; 
Trick me, treat me
by all means, creep me;
Blessed Be, Blessed Samhain.

The Wolf Within Me

As I look up at the sky I see the moon is high

I feel the wolf deep inside he is trying to come alive

As the pain begins to start It feels as through I am being ripped apart

My joints start to bend and break 

Soon the wolf will be fully awake.....

Premium Member Lucky Pot

Find, find
The lucky eternity pot in life
There's one in every house
Look in the shadows
That burns without a fire
Where all dreams come true
You will never want for anything again
If you find It
Look for your dreams
But don't drown in all its wealth

Spirit of Halloween

'Tis the season of the spooks! Don't look into dark corners or nooks. Laughing pumpkins and witchy hats, Dancing brooms and flying bats. Evening teas with Casper and Frankenstein, Don't look under the bed once the clock strikes nine!

Premium Member She Craved

She Craved For the beast. Amidst his lair In candle surround, Ripped white linen clings As their sweated bodies writhe. In unification, his seed Shall spawn the beginning of the dark. Whilst his translucent shadows walk earths light. .

Reflections of Dark Fantasy

It’s a tunnel of blindness..

A path to eternal oblivion,

In a world mislead by demons

Yet the angels remain

Guide us to new beginnings
Illuminate our souls 
show us the path
Dig through the stones

But yet again we still ponder
Saints or Sinners?

Calm Before the Storm

On a night so
calm but shadowed,
as the calm begins 
the storm,

there’s a hast 
of almost glowing,
and a dark
begins to form,

quiet sense appears 
to beacon,
as the unsecure
is born,

feel the breeze 
of melting silence,
feel the rage until
the dawn.

Premium Member Only a Fantasy

Red rosy lips, soft in twilight gleams, allusions of unrequited desire. Cobalt eyes like longing sapphire dreams have set my lost, lonely heart afire, Evening thoughts of you haunt me, leaving only a deluded dark fantasy.

  Representative of the ape clan
  King kong my name is world’s plan
  My fellow beings to support but aghast
  Historic ,extinct we are at last
  By man’s venomous red blazing tan

The vice

Two carbon entities
exhale green miasmas
and throttle white throats
in a noose of iron.
The cored captives
diaphanous and rasping
plummet to frightful circles
where sardonic wraiths
gnarl wingèd flesh
in screeching packs
as time loops reverberate
manic and mindless.

Premium Member Platform 666 Exit from Hell

Platform 666 Exit from Hell
I’m leaving hell today,
waiting for my train.
Suitcase in hand
but have I forgotten something?
My favourite brush is left behind.
Do I run back?
Is there still time
to reclaim what I lost?
The tracks are humming;
the train is on its way.

The Great Pumpkin

It's never too soon take ye heed and prepare for the night of All Hallows Eve cleansing your hearts of all malice and greed that ye may be judged worthy and noble of deed... 
These words are a warning for he has been summoned and with a swiftness of wrath The Great Pumpkin Is coming!!!!

Premium Member Siege of the Golden Door

Siege of the Golden Door


I heard their shouting as I slept,
The evil dead, straining at the gates of Hell.
With the spirits’ seven pens of light,
They maraud all from behind the golden door.
A warning: I must arm myself with lore,
To learn the way to shut that door
Before they come.

The Witches Grail

marred this mead of honeyed brew
yet flaxen still thy rotten spike
and spoil it so inedible
but haste unto her charge, she will

and grail be this austere cup
to carry off ignobleness 
and watch it drain through gullet of
a wrongsome hound, the cad, it must

and mete thy charm, ye witches grail

Premium Member where no light penetrates

     where no light penetrates 
       the musty chamber of an existence
     gazing, otiose, in contemplation
 
     of erogenous zones 
       of paralysis and moans
     of the evaporation of bones… 

     the spider and its cobwebs beckon
       dust stirring like breath
         tick-tock of tears
