Seducer

She shushed her esses smooth and slow,
Turned first with shoulders, hips in flow,
Eyes half lit open -- or half lit closed?
Curled up a finger, said not to go.
She moved in strides, side to side,
Relaxed in mouth and neck and spine,
Cared not to show a care for time
And beckoned me with scent divine.

Epitaph for Two

There is no love in deaths domain,
No hunger, guilt, or pain,
There is but silence, soft and cold
And souls of young and old.
What water will give or fire will take,
Shall be but to decide,
For what is after, as one is
And as one walked beside.

Cry Out, Cry Out, Cry Out

Ode to the destroyer, Amnathon,
River of ice and razor waves.
Where to be released?
What time to go and welcome thee?
Oh, Harbinger, 'Where for art thou?'
I hear them cry out.
Cry out, cry out, cry out.
Ode to the eternal and motionless,
Rain of barbs and darts,
The loveless faithful.
Ode to the destroyer, Amnathon,
River of ice and razor waves.

Blind Roman

What is to love, what eyes, what mind,
what heart to hold, what arms to bind?
Where then to look, to search, to find,
where bring to hook, to be but mine?

Fallacy Upon Methuselah

Olden man, what can be said
Of all these words upon our breath
Of love, the hand that mends, divides,
That rise above the ethic tide?

Of love, the sorest move in motion:
'He conquers all in mere devotion'
Say the fools that, blind, hav't turned
A reason in defence of love,
For yearned, they say, from one to one.
But more to lose when lost or won
In other spirits, tied to most
Not some. And weighed in scales of right
And righteousness are we by
God, Most High.

Deus Ex Nihil

Eyes out forth, and in those things are gold
Rings in rings in rings, three layers. With wheels
In wheels around them. Three nails, two hands,
Two feet, three nails, one note, and a fourth.
Four planks, two dead, one relived with a crown
Detached eyes are no where to be seen.
Bitter water to quench thirst and quiet the dead
Who live and relive again in wheels in wheels,
In ring, in ring, in ring, three layers, one thing.

Evil Begets Evil

Cry war, my titan brothers, and raise up your banner and name!
With wroth against our enemies and the thunder of fire and flame!
Hail, Ahura Mazda, demon god and sun of the snake!
Rise up and raze the land, send them, our foes, to sulfurous lake!

Arly

The shades would part their cloaks and ribs
For one caress from Arly,
Would tear their tongues and gnaw their lips
For one light taste of Arly,
Would swirl away and claw their eyes
For one bright glance from Arly,
Would smash their bridge into their brains
For one sweet scent of Arly,
The shades would welcome dark demise
For some irresisteble
          Sound or syllable;
One soft word from Arly.

Gorgós

Oh, ghosts of old and spinning smoke,
From crystal globes and fires crack,
What of your glee you paint for me.
Some tears to choke,
Some salt held back.

A sun, a moon, a waltz of stars,
The silhouettes of all their eyes,
Some came too soon, some left their doom.
A sword of mars,
The love of mine.

A ribbon given for the rite,
My blood be taken on a knife,
Warmth, a feeling long since past,
I gaze through holes,
I fall in those.

tRip

I walked along a road less known
And fell down
Muddy slopes to face
A gaze that set on eyes off-thrown
Set by ice
To melt disgrace
From newly founded stars in skulls
That were down
On bloody leaves
Encircling tyrant, love and pain,
Love and pain, the tyrants game.

Golem Sabbath

Wheels in hips and cogs in heads,
Wood for skin and steel for bones,
Clay 'round hearts and barbs 'round legs,
Scroll in mouth and dead on stones.
