Casting the Circle

Dancing flames burn
like a womb within a womb
on the walls the shadows turn
and move with the rhythm
nine by nine
the chanting grows
slowing time
within the groves
beneath the silv’ry light of moon
the circle sings
an ancient tune
written in their hearts

The Undead

The wretched ghastly yawlp,
Oh the aethereal tides

in destruction
An ocean, a single mass
rotting horseman nigh
a hatred unstaunched

beneath the soles of my self-loathing
Burn in my chaos

The bread and the circus

away from the funerals of the damned

Black Veins of Love

She looked into my soul
with her empty smile
and kissed me with blood stained lips
dripping like ruby tears
and whispered
“I loath you for the way you make me feel”
her breath was cold as steel
steel stiller than her heart
in black and white
and death was her art
We stood inside a marble tomb
a place of death that was my womb
and […]
