Only Now Do I See
2014

My eyes are open
What do they see?
Unfolding red roses
beneath the white winter tree
Here is a flower undevoured by the cold
like the ever present feeling of ever growing old
Can I look through your window
covered now in frost
For only after desire is relieved
can I count the cost
Hold onto this
and it will never let go
And I will never doubt
that which before I didn’t know
Send to me your eyes
with all of your disguises
Give to me your heart
when the golden art arises
I will never leave or forsake you
I will kiss you until the end of time
For to keep love from the loveless
Is to sever the sword of mine
Hold me to you closely
when I’m bleeding from the sky
When the stars burn my body,
lay me down to die
Let me rest in the death that makes me so tired
And dream of you when it’s gone
My spirit is within you, and your is within me
My heart is open
For anyone it will bleed
My eyes are open
Only now do I see
At the end…

The Art of Being Forgot
2014

This girl is so cold, and her eyes are dark
I feel like I’m slowly being torn apart
I freeze in the ices, where souls go numb
And the ghouls that surround me knit the shadows of fun
And we are in these shadows, silence fills its essence
and I know that it isn't love now. No it's not love at all
I can feel the torture device in my mind killing my heart
In the elaborate art of being forgot 

Neon Eon
2014

I want to kiss it and to hug it
I want to live and to love it
Forever caught in a fracture of time
And ever lost in the fragments of your mind
This fragile sea,
This desperately darkened eon entity
All for me to uncover its skin
Through and throughout everything
The body burns from within
Love me in the absence of light
As I pray for the dawn to return my sight
Let me sleep in the arms of yore
Tend my sheep forever more

 

Seven Stones
2014
The windows are shut and the doors are all locked
As the darkness descends again time will be stopped
In my heart set in terrors all but errors are forgot
And in time I will break, but the hard of heart will not

My eyes are covetous, twisted words of a tortured tongue
Penance is repentance, my crimes will be undone
In the soul of the ruined and the spirit of the numb
My hands are salt, my skins burn in the sun

The window was broken, with all the doors locked
And the faith that I’d held for you now there is not
Sleep in the ages of the limitless glorious rot
Sleep forever in the arms of those who have been forgot
For when we asked thee for the key, thou gave a rock

Nights
2014

On nights like this,
I can see why we exist
Throughout the pain
Throughout the bliss
I can see why we exist
 
On nights like these,
 I can see the way you breathe
In the rooms of my fathers
We sleep and wake in the tombs
Fearless and alive again
Beneath the waves of the ocean blue
I can see you breathing
Silently leading me through

On nights like this,
There is a taste of that which is poisonous
The fatal memorandum
That lingers within
Your touch, so soft
So subtle, in the darkness
Take my soul when my body is lost
Take me whole
Back to where I belong

 

Polydementional Entity
2014

Dumb and diseased, thou must now wander
In these dregs, thou shall ever hence falter  
And never be bound if found an outsider,
And only feel pain when in the vengeance of the other
Change thou mind, and lose the only word
Change thou gaze from the sun through the window
Change thou mind, thou will walk without a shadow
Farther from fathers, and near and near
Thou make est me slowly disappear
Into the breeze and into the trees
Never again to be heard from or seen
