Where I Left You

My ship of woe sorely sails away,

From the golden docks of Heaven.

Your once joyful soul clutching the crumbling edges,

As your hope spills over into nothingness. 


I had held you in my foolish dreams,

Smiled at the powder blue surrounding you. 

No surprise was it, the darkness we bred into your curls, 

Atop a bundle of bright skin & promising bones.


Your imaginary warmth now fades away,

Cold heartedly chilled by the blackened feathers of doubt.

Your undeserving forgiveness I might find under my ship,

Lamentably drowning at the bottom of this quiet ocean. 


Years will pass, but I will remember your joyful soul,

The one I had promised to wrap up in skin and bones.

I will find you when my flesh begins to rot,

At the crumbling docks of Heaven..where I hesitantly left you..

Deathless Ruler - Part 1

A King surrenders his throne
His blackened wings severed & tossed to the winds
The gold & jewels of his crown melted & disintegrated
As he furthers himself from a disdained Hell.

An unending pain stalks his every step
Keeping the caged beast inside him under ceaseless attack
But he holds dear to him this ghastly creature
A gift Heaven bestowed upon him after she bled down his chin.

Even after all the blood he still owes
His ravenous hunger remains a war unchallenged
With his desires fastened to his hands
He is a force that rips through the throat of the blinded inamorata.

His soul shifts through the confined spaces of innocence
Inducing the madness that only sanity secretly craves
He savors the disarray he causes with each move he makes
Provoking the slavering beast with such a luscious warfare.

The night pleads for an end to the malice in his nature
Even the day, in all its splendor, is a dying light robbed of purity
His beckoning hand exerts an incomprehensible power
That even the earth beneath his feet gravely draws him closer.

What compelled you to abandon your place of ruling, King of the gods?
Who has placed the pungent bait on the pathway leading you astray?
Where will you find the end to your torture if even death is haunted by you?
How will the earth feed a hunger that can not be understood?


You take your grim position near the flames of wrath
This place torn between Heaven & Hell, this .. open prison
And you are no longer astray but you eagerly wait
.. for her to follow the path of the stray blackened feathers.

Human

And in this form
He craves to cut me into a thousand pieces
I become his glorious display of self destruction
On this murky stage, mine to perfuse.

I am the unfinished art under his saw
The sawdust, my emotions in disarray
I struggle against the desires of my artist
But his resilience defeats me.

His tarnished blade punishes with an unending thirst
And as the fabric of my soul begins to tear
I watch the remaining humanity in his eyes withdraw
As my existence slowly fades away into oblivion.

His determination eases into a breath of relief
As the grip in my hands diminish
The cage of my heart brutally opened
By the very hands that swore protection.

How lucky I am to be his work of art
Carefully pieced together by the strings of his callous heart
Who am I to question his methods?
Who am I to refuse his illicit expression of love..

On an undeserving canvas such as I.

The Last Daughter

If I could drain the world of all its madness
Perhaps then I would forget you ever existed.
The chains I share with you, beloved warden
Would no longer hold my thoughts captive.

Fantasies of your death pulls me further away from God
Who am I to be loved even as a broken child.
Bring back the poison you once shared with me, devoted keeper
A love blessed by the demons found in the darkness of her womb.

Where my heart rests, shall you find a plated icebox
A cold dish waiting to ravenously claw through your throat.
Let us watch your disgusting pride gush from your wounds, faithful protector
Let me listen as you wash away the silence with your horrific screams.


My eyes will no longer redden at the sight of your tears
Instead I will smile as you writhe in the agony you rightly deserve.
Ready your feet before your head becomes mine to take, honored father
Because if death fails to come for you, then I will.

Broken Lights

Cripple your bones
And lay them beside me
Let us begin to settle broken thoughts
These memories that cut through your bed sheets.

They who have threaded their needles with misery
Have sewn your eyes shut so you may never see the light
The radiance of their hearts shone over your brothers & sisters
Endlessly punishing your searching hands & restless feet.

Nailed to a cross, they yell out in pain
As the wood drives splinters through their backs
And you listened to them, they who carved you from Hell
For you were the cross who forcefully shared the puncturing nails.

The memory of sin bled into you
From their corrupt flesh into yours
The feasting maggots following the stench
Eating away at your invulnerable heart.

Monster .. you remain courageously torn beside me
Masked by the blood aged beyond your years
I tremble at the touch of your scarred hands
As the wounds of your weary history caresses me.

Love, gently laced in the brilliance of your rage
You are strange .. terrifying & captivating
Monster .. there was never any light in them for you to discover
For it has always been inside you.
