Dragon wing Tortured laugh Blank book and Unlit candle I outmaneuver you to have My way with the treasure trove Glistening diamond, gold and wealth But it’s all just pretend I feel your coils around be, just as bright as the the rubies on the grail And your whispers in my ears “All is wellContinue reading “The Devil”

No Eye Has Seen
Carry out the command In my hand As I spread it out like a picnic blanket spanning The world There are countless limitations brought about by perspective And all I need to be is your Horizon Though the edges are tattered as they taper out into The endless night Void, the last frontier A divineContinue reading “No Eye Has Seen”
Wine Stains
Blended fabric forms the web As I’m tangled in your Many limbs The storm of man and blood and soul And a woman out of time Struggling to breach the subject Of an attack on the palace Her people ransacked The rations burned By godless heathens But I’m just a fly, and what can IContinue reading “Wine Stains”
Spring Dreams
Cold trickle Downpour on the ledge My fingers try to take grip Like an idea on the balance beams of your mind Spin it Flip it Any way you like But it comes down to survival A hope for the future and The promise of eternal summer
Sheol’s Rain
Break through the shallowsAnd the ruins Ancient runes call your name and Call you home Behemoth Son of the fiendBut your feet are tired from wandering and IHave a spot on my old couchYou keep me up lateSharing stories of the bristling Leviathan As we remember our days In hell
Imbalance

I reached toward you and only Only break the glass Perforating the skin But there is no blood beneath Only the bones of a story Notes and plot outlines Prayers for silence And The reflection of your unfulfilled adolescent dreams.
Brain Chemistry
Your voice in the windCalling in a way that can’t be silencedPerforates my eardrums Runs me ragged through the streetsAnd there is no place of silenceNo call to answerIn the halls of the deadWe walk onReap and sowShrink and grow In your memoryAlways in the shadowOf your damned memory
Action and Reaction Economy
Sort through the reactions Who came up to batWho prayed for whom And who diedIf I cracked a smile You would call it the mask breaking And If my eyes deceived me you wouldCall it the crack of dawnAn expectation of villainy accompanies The fondest of actions Until I watch you Hang yourself on thisContinue reading “Action and Reaction Economy”
Midnight Bus
Crawl to the surface Of the waking world. Your queen calls to you Absent though you have been I have Been Making plans for your arrival To remind the wind what my name is To resurrect the old logos Will and way and reason The keeper and the crossroads demon Until night and day are Continue reading “Midnight Bus”
A Quiet Anger
Creator Journals 7/6/25 There’s a lot of societal injustice in the world right now. It’s all over the news and all over my social feeds. It’s hard to stay above the water, stay positive and keep it from stressing me out. Stress causes me a number of physical symptoms, so I’m trying my best toContinue reading “A Quiet Anger”
