Across hewn sombre oaks And soporific slender barks There lay a valley old By the night time lay cold Sprawling with creatures of the wild And yearning for morning mild Where the bluebirds sang a song In the misty ranges long Where the valley lies awake In fear of foes they shake To flittering hope...

Gaara’s Prey
Save it for your impending death For the end of faith For the end of life Instruments to end your strife Instruments you want to avoid Instruments only true to your droid Not to the soul as pure as a pearl Cold neath the ocean floor hidden Inside warmth futile to this day Yet... Continue Reading →
Nepenthe
Riding eloquent rhymes of old, Upon a horse garbed in gold; Laconic moments we ponder. To keep count of starry nights Amidst laughing bedside termites; Lullabies in somnolent beats. Belated claps and cacophony Mind’s eye moves in harmony; Ghouls of tomorrow wander. Sordid souls rest upon a cliff Adorned in morbid verses... Continue Reading →

I lurk within walls dark Dark reclamation of your soul Soul fragments on the ground Ground to bits and a carousel Through shallow waters we wade Where the golden larks bathe Under canopies black and scarlet Days of fiendish vanity, our fate. Swim beneath waters murky Murky tales of your rotten lives Lives... Continue Reading →

A tale was told - Under stellar light it began Stroke of blackened blue Under stellar night he slept Symbol of crescent moon Under stellar light she swam Beneath a lake quiescent Under stellar light she rose Surpassing surreal glow. Lunar shower... Continue Reading →
Of What’s Left Of Us
Sailing towards a crimson line Drawn across the western horizon An iridescent orb bears upon us And rounds us in glorious acclaim To waters placid and quiescent Where mermaids hold still under And sing emphatic ballads of heroes Come and gone in our age Their voices streaming across our Tremulous nerves, a drone...
