Listen for the sirens
I'm on a highway
Along the perpendicular streets

Having escaped my killer
There's blood on the windshield
There's blood on my thoughts

The rush of song
I've experienced it all
Yet this is only track four

The night wind slices through
A fracture in me
Two sides of me
Must push on and away from here

Is there something happening
Inside that causes it all to melt?
To stick to the sidewalk?

To form into a river of transfiguration?

~
On this algid brumal night,
As the moon was barely white,
She gazed so tenderly at me
With a stark and petrifying glare.

For on this eve of eldritch scare,
Her eyes have swallowed all the light,
As she set the shadows to roam free,
With a ruthless wicked glee.

The goddess of the dark and grim,
Softly crooning deathly hymns,
She fiercely rules the gloomy murk,
Commanding all the nightly devils.

In grisly sacrilege and death she revels,
On witching hours drab and dim,
When the crows and ravens chirk,
And her shadowed servants lurk.

Her
Her

Don’t look up,
Don’t look there,
Keep your eyes closed,

...what was that sound?
that flicker–
that light–
Did I shut the door?

I can’t breathe,
I can’t see,
Is she–
Is she near?

Over there,
Over here,
Right here,
Too close,

Close your eyes,
Tighter,
Tighter,

Don’t open,
Don’t open,

Don’t
Look
Up
I see her in my nightmares

Dark tendrils creeping into my heart
Shadows covering my mind
Ripping and tearing me apart
Such a pain that makes me blind

A forceful stab of isolation
The tendrils sinking deeper still
Falling to my own damnation
I just wait, for when they'll ****

That final blow, it never lands
I can hear their quiet glee
Squeezing my heart with their hands
While I hopelessly try to flee

They say there's always hope for light
Even in the darkest days
Yet as I claw and as fight
I cannot escape my mind's maze

Inside I sob, inside I cry
It's just us, the tendrils and I

As the thick mist inside subsides, he looks around
Finally regained a form of sense
Still bound
Hanging on with a crumbled defence

Tilting his head towards the heavens, he proclaims his disdain.
Wretched beings, break your silence
Acknowledge this pain
Stripped of all humanity, he stands in defiance

Carefully carrying this grief and sorrow
The end is where he wishes to begin
Deleted any perspective for tomorrow
Inviting his demons back to reside within

A flood of dark and putrid aura seizes his mind
Now the beings once again feast
As they mould and sculpt to get this prey refined
His petrified heart shall never again be released

Among those who stand on the edge, he now takes root
The crushing presence of the nether, home sweet home
The screams and whispers and everything they constitute
Home is where he’ll always roam
She's a Wild Woman,
She is out in this world,
that is so full of Darkness, but
was once a young girl,

This World has manipulated, and
has taken away her youth,
It has shielded her eyes with lies,
instead of telling her the full truth,

A young little girl,
brought up in a world of hate,
Who was told so many false dreams,
At this point, for her, it's too late

There's a little girl out there today,
who was given false hopes, and desires,
Was told that she would never make it,
Only needing someone to Inspire.

If only someone would encourage her, and
Let her know that it would be Okay,
There are people out there who could help her,
Llift her up, and continue to Pray.

Sun, Moon, & Stars /
In The Cabinet of Creation /
Formed to exalt The Cosmo-Plexus. /
Jehovah, did you /
Form all to be loved? /

I believe you did create /
All people to know /
& to love. /
—Love is all, /
Love is beauty, & beauty is love. /

Hearken to the ethereal resonations /
Loveless vore. /
Jehovah is all to some, /
He is my Heaven, He is my Earth, /
He is my Moon, He is my Sun, He is my Sacral Polaris. /

Perhaps a paramour /
Might be fitting to some. /
However, even when loveless, /
I am not enfeebled. /
—I am power. /

Soy yo, y ¿Que más da?
Me miró al espejo y odio mi aspecto,
Bueno, quien soy mejor dicho
Y por la clase d persona que me he convertido

Rompo el espejo por miedo,
Miedo a saber que de verdad soy así
Huyó del reflejo, de las miradas de todos,
Basta, yo se quién soy y quién fui

¿Se pueden callar?
Solo quiero respirar y volar
Llora y reír
Cantar y brillar

Sin embargo el pasado me ha de abrazar
Y yo he de mirar
Ver en qué me convertí
Y ver cómo me marchite
The smoke dissolves in my lungs. A constellation  of bright stars forms in the depths of your eyes, weaving a language of orchestral, luminous memories—one that cannot fathom the endless possibilities of your devotion.

Maybe if I write these words and keep them inside my dismantled heart, love will come to find me. Maybe in a thousand abysses that grieve love, the heavens and the earth will entwine their fresh waters and frozen tears; faint sheets of light will envelop my already soul-weary skin and thus will seep in like a sun gently fleeting its warm light into the night sky, sojourning in the consoling darkness until dawn.

And if I tell you, that I have so much love to give, would you grow thorns and leave me in the cold, barren night like a stray dog, or would you come running across the ends of the earth—tiptoeing in bedazzling stars and soft sands, rushing into me?
I’ve been productive for the past few weeks, and I don’t understand why there’s still room for me to long for something that I can’t have just yet. I’ve been spending my time writing in my journal for all the times that I feel like I’m yearning for something more than love. Something more than comfort, and I hate to admit this, but I’ve become a prisoner of fantasy, I long for my own fairy tale. That my own heart chokes me.

Her thoughts are like a hurricane,
lifting her from the ground of sanity
and tossing her among the rubble of darkness.
