inverted jewel
clear as breath
dark as water
quiet as death
song without words
silence between letters
words without voice
space between feathers
deep as a thimble
shallow as a grave
miasma of horror
voice of the saved
daffodils bloom
insects crawl
lions feast
empires fall
doom! doom!
doom to the old life
x2
joy! joy!
joy for the old strife
x2

darkness so grim
rotting with sin
forever fighting
the monster within
mind is a cage
infernal rage
screaming and growling
and cursing the sage
baring his teeth
horrible beast
wanting his freedom
so that he can feast
nights of horror
he's done it before
breaking and crushing
with blood on the floor
the sage he smiles
the sage he grins
his opponent is fearful
but he knows he'll win
bloody rain
bringer of pain
the evil inside the sage
must be contained
shaking the iron
the sage he is tired
the beast utters whispers
but he is a liar
the sage stands up straight
the beast full of hate
accepting the struggle
as part of his fate
accept your shadow

Country plunging down
With horrific sounds
You won't wear a mask
Talking bout your rights
You won't talk no more
When the covid strikes
Falling to your knees
Strugging to breathe
Dying like a man
in the land of the free
Can you hear it
As your life leaves you?
The sound of angels sighing
Do you feel regret?
Can you hear it
As you choke and gasp
The sound of devils laughing
Who did you kill?

the way that can be
articulately described
is not the unchanging way
the name that can be said aloud
is not the unchanging name
with your mouth left open
and things left undefined
you stand at the beginning of the universe
make definitions and you are the measure of all creation
thus, being forever without desire, you look deeply into the transcendent
by constantly harboring desire, your vision is beset by all the things around you
these two enter the world alike, but their names are different
alike, they are called profound and remote
profound and remote and again more so
this is the gate to all mysteries

misty hills
sky pregnant with rain
god bless you old kentucky
your beauty keeps me sane
they want to kill you
love of gold, love of coal
choke the earth, giving birth
to filth for young and old
decapitated mountains
stumps spewing smoke
lungs turning black
workers going broke
fatcats growing rich
they will never stop it
panning polluted water
that's how they get their profit
the mountains need their heads again
i know where we can find some

I feel the pain of being dead
And yet I am still alive
The light of the sun it burns my flesh
This bite leaves me forever cursed
I don’t want to be immortal
To suffer forever like you
To drink the blood of the living
And shy away from the light
I resent you for what you’ve done
You’ve condemned me to the depths of hell
Where I must harm the innocent
Just to stay alive in this world
You say that you are our ruler
But really you are terrified
Of your unnatural existence
And want it to end forever
Vampire’s Pain x8
We live as though we were breathing
Yet we are no more than ghosts
Doomed to suffer in this place
A lifetime of unwantedness
I will break away from you
Prowl the night my own way
Turn away from the pain
And embrace this transition
I am becoming more than me
Dancing between life and death
Embracing the screams at night
To create this poetry

Curse those who tore us apart
For you my heart I sever
We could be like my portrait
Unendingly together
You are mine; you shall be mine
You and I are one for ever
Oh Laura, this aura, become my precious other
Oh be mine, for all time, there will not be yet another
One! Like you!
To outlive, to not give, A thing for someone else
So hold me, so closely, No other but myself
Darkest embrace of, the one who can bring you life
To die to love is my undeath
This need is selfish and sapphic
I can think of no other one
Than you to be my everlasting
Laura
Be Mine
In blood
And death!
Can you, forgive my lies
Will you, be my dead bride
Vampir, this is our time
We could, be eternal
All paths, lead to you
You have, consumed my mind,
Laura, my heart bleeds out
Will this, pain never cease
My tears run, down my cheek
At the thought that you won’t...
I would burn this whole earth
To be yours, forever
I would move
The stars above
To once more feel
Your warm embrace
Don’t let those
Mortal scum
Take you away
From my ardor
You could know
The greatest love
And the greatest power
In all Stryia
Hold my hand
Like you once did
As we go
Into the night

I am no longer on my own
For we are reconnected
I will
reign forever
We will
reign together
A dark
So eternal
Endless
Nocturnal
Dance, With, Death x2
You’re my queen
As I am yours
Let us go
Into the night
The whole world belongs to us
We are above even the gods
A queendom built upon blood
And unquenchable, sapphic love

My skin is too tight
My muscles too weak
My bones too brittle
To contain this bulging shape
A walking assemblage of symptoms
Is all I have become
Bound together by sheer will
Why is it so difficult just to exist?
This pain is unbearable
A manifestation
Of my worst attributes
Like a doppelgänger
Walking around in my skin
As their strength grows
Mine is diminished
A vacuous hatred
Bred into their blood
Take a hatchet to the roots of their treacherous tree
As our strength grows
Theirs is diminished
Every seed that they have sown
Shall be plucked from the ground
Every trumpet they have blown
Will scarcely make a sound
Herald! The end of man
Makot Mitzrayim
Moses, stretch your hand
Marked by blood of the lamb
In the realms of their wretched empire
All the myths that they’ve devoured
Every cyclops in dragons’ dens
The imperial wizard grows his power
Rain each plague upon them
We shall mourn for none among these ghouls
Hold fast, each lash furious with vengeance

This tomb
Concealed beneath
Cavernous labyrinth
The vulgar thief
Seek the temple
Sealed in earth
Carve the symbol
Of rebirth
Sorrow has no horizon
Vessels; divine disgust
Hollow to hold the substance
Enter the house of dust
To rail against nature is folly
All things must accept an end
Burn that brand upon your shell
And claim your mark as king
Born of god
Born of void
Radiant, resplendent
No cost too great
Soul of wyrm
Soul of root
Heart of void
(No mind to think
No will to break
No voice to cry of suffering)
You alone shall sealing the blinding light that plagues their dreams

Flip the record
Flip it twice
Changed the channels half a dozen times
Ain't none of this matters now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Roll back over
And turn out the lights
Late for work again
But i ain't mind
None of this shines bright
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Built our world
Out of heartbreak and stone
Laid the foundation for this empty home
It's all so hollow now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
So roll me over
And turn out the lights
It's all over
And I don't mind
Nothing matters now that you're gone
Take me out to the cornfield
And put a bullet in my brain
I'm tired as hell and I don't wanna feel
A single motherfuckin' thing
Take me out to the cornfield
And put a bullet in my brain
I'm tired as hell and I don't wanna feel
A single motherfuckin' thing
Take me out to the cornfield
And put a bullet in my brain
I'm tired as hell and I don't wanna feel
A single motherfuckin' thing
Take me out to the cornfield
And put a bullet in my brain
I'm tired as hell and I don't wanna feel
A single motherfuckin' thing

Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today, I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few millions tears I cry
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again
