Our House Of Horror~para

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I’m at a loss as I fall
To my knees and scream to what lies beyond
The skies
What lies beyond the walls
Of this house you’ve built for us…



I hear your cries shack­led
In a room far below
Stir­ring the dust on my chains
As I rant and rave in defi­ance
To these blood-encrusted cuffs meant not to drain
The life cours­ing through my veins
But my will…
My will to escape…



The dark­ness bub­bles before my eyes
Stained in the deep­est red
For it’s all that I see
Derid­ing the light of truth
That I will never be free of this house
Of your cries
That I can never assuage…



Music down the hall seeks
To nul­lify
To tem­per my fevered brow
But it only lends eerie to hor­ri­fied
Lends ques­tion to fear
For now
Is the only moment my life can grasp…



Upon bruised and scabbed knees
I hang
Arms splayed in a mock cross
Bleed­ing from the inside out
Too many years resid­ing in the dark
A noc­tur­nal wisp of a soul
Sac­ri­ficed
For your free­dom…



Free­dom you never embraced.

Death is a Woman

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Cloy­ing smiles

Of geno­ci­dal attar

Iced moon­beams

Braced in creak­ing mist


Armed arrows

Of monthly Blood penance

Find­ing clear mark

On Unfor­giv­able memory


A mote in Dark­ness ‘s soul

Ply­ing trade

With never arriv­ing dawn


Stars engulfed by night’s nothingness

Libation’s altar

Sac­ri­fi­cial and cruel

receiv­ing the condemned


In the mouth of Fenrir

Goes Tyr’s hand

The leav­ings of the Wolf


Abraham’s false tears

Vapor­ize upon

Issac’s pierced heart


Quet­zal­coatl stands poised and ready

Caress­ing and lov­ing in his hatred


Adah screams eternally

A wretched pawn’s rage

Jeph­thah for­lorn and disconsolate

Don­ning the man­tle of the pompous


Death came

Under guise of woman


Scented skin

Mask­ing pun­gent Hades

Crim­son robes hid­ing stained sin


Wield­ing Bacca’s Blade

The Chancy was full

Blood promised
Rivers flowed.


Mount the dias

She smiled
