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

But you'll  hear them coming.
They play the Didgeridoo....

black cats with red, hungry eyes -
daylight on the way...

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

Inner eye feasts on control
When small belief is penitent, impetuous 
Growing doubt buried

Rise from the shackles of fury
Reclaim the lost goal...

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...

Poised 
in innocence, 
Quite 
the masquerade 
Everyone's 
a fool 
Very 
well played 
Her boudoir 
The biggest stage 
'Mirror, mirror 
On the wall,
Who's 
the most cunning 
Of them all'...

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....

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

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....

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...

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........

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.

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?...

On that same afternoon 
in a commune not too far away, 
hope got caught while 
stealing from the market of desires; 
luck got expelled for
cheating on the bonus questions;
love, on the other hand, turned into 
rain and escaped the cloud 
of acquired fears....

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.

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....
