The razor;
It slipped
Leading to 
Unexpected consequences.

The redness 
Splashed and spread,
Splashed and spread.

I look in the mirror-
Face is numb,
Not knowing what I’ve become.
And to relive that horror,
Leaves me as a nightmare.

Caliginous eyes
Fearsome face of sickly white
Lion-headed snake
Embellished in his shadows  
With flaming orange beneath

Name of Love

Until I know,
The name of love,
I shall always walk,
In darkness, 
And distress,
O the horror,
Of not knowing loves name.

Did you ever let a hornet
drink some water from your eye
Did you worry it would sting you
You'd go blind and then you'd die.

Writes stories that are shocking.

Never to see her again
I looked down
Wine of bloods holo

Flowing from my hands
Unto the devils abode
Whitest of Pyrenees days

I heard you say 
You spent your last pennies on me
I was glad
Now we can go home 
Have a cup of tea

Nice and cosy
