Medulla – 24/05/06
Man of stars, boy of stone
Called by Mars before the throne
He is no prince
You need not be the west wind swirling through his hair
His name, his past, his class
Tainted by blood
Red by rage as far beyond
Our sky glows green by the sun’s song
Forget forgiveness, child of stone
Witness your own red throne
War is love - 24/01/17
Streaks of Boreas
Break through the mast
Electrum river
Traded for dust
Hue of love
Hue of gold
Foolish to think
It was not foretold
Metal to ink
Harsh oil stinks
False promises
Are left to sink
Hiemalis hiems - 23/11/27
Cold keeps the life
The mind sleeps
Wind keeps the light
As the frost seeps
The book stays opened
Snow covers all
Leaving the hope, and
slight light stops the fall
“Hail, hail the Queen”
Wind wails outside
“Hail, the sanguine,
but colourless fight.”
Empty sea - 23/11/27
Stag dove flies above
skies that start to rot
Seen, but unheard
Slight, and unturned
Sleep while you can
Seek, and attend
Stag dove flies today
Skies now start to fray
Shaded in dust
Starting to rust
Show your bare back
Scold the lost black
Stag dove cries above
Shot, but not for love
Soft yellow cardboard - 23/01/15
Rain is all I know
Rain is all I felt
How was he supposed to know
That the lightning prefers to strike
The autumn burned sapling
Feel it all: the quiet call
I have not lived since you left
Of the sun, and sweet notes I am now bereft
Avalanche - 22/12/21
Pushed away from it all
The metal shines, enthralled
The clarinet
Has sung its final song
The silver stares at gold
It is easy to fold
The old lover
Of the now quiet clarinet
Even the leaves are too shy
To fall around the light (?)
The clarinet
Was never meant to be filled with snow
Prepare - 22/06/27
Rainfall, rainfall, do not call
I descend into the bowels of the earth
Appall, appall, at my bravery
I descend with a plan to claim the dark
Tight, dark, wet, back to my mother’s womb I go
Cold, cold, cold
As my strength disappears I get so slow
Further down,
Further down I descend
I sleep below the stone, forget the smell of air
The rain water is all I have left
It is too far, it is too small
I am too large; I was not meant to live in the dark
I am not welcome, I do not belong
Leave, leave! You can still be free!
Go higher, be brave! Return, so they won’t need a grave!
What is there to do
When the dark, the wet, the cold
Embrace you
But the deep does not?
Thus, I am consumed.
Oak of old - 21/07/31
Hellfire, work your ways
Put me down and eat me up
Scorch this earth
And cleanse the land
Hellfire, pull me close
Burn my hand, and bury me
Below the ashes
Light everything up
Hellfire, don’t give up
Cleanse my heart, and consume it
Because soon,
We will be one
Rising heat - 21/07/30
Hole in the ocean
I sing my song to thee
For I still fear the sea
Waves, and currents
erase the past
Fire burns down
everything at last
It burns me, too
But I don’t burn with it
Flashing and scorching
The fiery hit caught
by the hazel shield of two
Is there no escape?
I once saw reason, friends,
Now all I see is death
I once saw flames, and seas,
Now I see forces to be feared
21/01/12
I've become monstrous
the sight gives a world of violent eyes
no more tough despair
And I finally see
That you are beautiful
I've always been monstrous
the sound gives rough, misshapen leather
now gawky on roots
And I have always known
That you are beautiful
Agent - 20/11/29
Pegasus wings grow on my back
You used to grab onto my neck
And I'd carry you anywhere you wanted
Pegasus wings don't grow anymore
I can't carry you, because you've grown
I can't reach you, and it seems
You don't care
Do her some good - 20/03/28
I made a list of truths
But I do not need to call upon them
To know that you are always here
When I make my sacrifice of tooths
Should I devote blood
Or do they forfeit their own sleep to you
Even though your children always knew
All you truly are is mud
The sunlight wakes me up
As it shines it's hategul glee upon me
The sweat slowly drips down my red knee
While the blood collects in a cup
I call upon your birds
Through knowledge I can see your greatness show
But I hate to think that you allow
The death of hundreds of sad herds
To the mountains I'd go
If I were free at all from your golden chains
But instead I stay in sandy plains
Though that is not your fault, I know
Sunlight, moonlight - 19/08/04
See the stars, they’re shining bright
They can now lead you through the night
See the clouds, so far away
Know that the rain will bring you dismay
See her eyes, like owl’s, vast
Next to her pale skin a great contrast
See that she controls your mind
Yet you still want her to be affined
See her face, it’s filled with tears
It’s her own monstrousness she fears
See yourself reassure her
That you do not mind the fangs and fur
See the sunlight, wake up yet
Welcome the morning with strain and sweat
See the moonlight, know that now
It’s time to rinse blood, you know how
