the undiscovered petals of the cryptic stemless magnolia scattering in the effervescent breeze just like our bodies assemble and deconstruct at irregular intervals we perpetually yearn for breath wich may instill in us the desire to dream a dream within a dream as dusk shapes itself gently into dawn like weaving poetry we heave and shudder beneath the unspeakable intricacies of the mocking skies interlaced with ancient stars and sacred light deep in the darkness they exchange secret ciphers with hermetic lips far-flung unlike your own as we speak in hidden tongues we may never unravel the singularity behind their riven frequency in perfect metric form even shouldst we prevail upon the dark with our will to power the endless listlesness of our immortal coils will in time reveal to us the sublime putrefaction and we will no longer hear the music of the stars and every lavish note wich passed us by will haunt and torment us til dark becomes darker still though i am but a shadow my love strook pure and true for i wept at your side throughout the anguish of your life and i gently persuaded the moonlight to bathe you while you slept its gentle beams flowed through the gaps in the autumn leaves falling lifeless and withered from the earthly pillars of life twixt your bedroom window a thousand-and-one umbral nights may pass but the imprint of your countenance engraved upon my heart like ancient secret hieroglyphs dying to be cast like spells loud and ardently into the twisting narrow dark so that our eldritch love may manifest in the ultraviolet of my heart often do i think about that day when we first met on that strange and alien shore nothing but the silence and illusions faint of battleships battered and broken beyond the hazy light in your eyes we walked along its pale and desolate banks hand in hand like young wild things do entranced by the shapes of the strangest seashells our bare feet oblivious in regards to the ephemeral depressions of the pathways we crossed in the wet and cold crystallized sand white, glittering and gleaming in the fading misty morning we may have made love that following night but we are no longer here to remember anyway if there exists another plane somewhere beyond i hope to retrace our steps there once more and fall in love again and again forevermore our broken aetherial astral boats that once crossed some otherworldly stream may cross oneanother yet again in a dream

hidden laylines of the night

all the variations of myself they live beside me and within they yearn for breath they yearn for touch phantom desires, phantom dreams all these writhing ghosts i made through a life unfulfilled i gave them each a crafted star fashioned from my broken heart now i suffer with a plethora of spectral winds this one blow this way and that one blows that way i don't know wich way to go my imagination burst through my body and forcibly prevails upon the world this one wants to be a dancer this one wants to be a girl this one wants to be an addict but i just want to be loved one thousand and one sepulchre's each containing a piece of myself sustains these twisted variants that i myself have made

i am a wandering comet a long forgotten star drifting listlessly through some eldritch darkness the stuff that dreams are made of sustains my formless husk as i drift and drift and drift and drift towards that wyrd and faint light i want you to call my name i want you to say it! but... even if those words did expell from those lips that i long to kiss i would not know... the void pilfers greedily all sound no matter how powerfull the meaning behind them there are endless stars and planets in this symposium of emptiness one day i will crash somewhere and, it might not be on your planet... it might not be where you are will i live for eternity alone? searching fervently in vain through ancient smog and blackest rain that melts my mortal coil and tears away at my lungs until i am truly but a husk a vestigial being, devoid of light please... call for me i am drifting away

husk of the wandering comet
what a beautiful ruined world if i seal these mortal instruments, render binairy apertures of flesh unmade your prescence like a tempestuous fever inside 'neath this mockingly empty starless sky you are an apparition, and an agony boundless i am your stalwart sepulchre so prevail upon me thine anguish and torment me from within mine own shell for a thousand moons i have stalked through a hundred and one nights a gaunt, dark and wild aberrant looking for a single star in a chasm of earth but my memories, shattered into eldritch geometries will not converge upon themselves, and i know not your face but my heart knows your heart so i will brave onwards... we we're made when this world was made for a million aeons we watched it's countless civilizations grow and bloom and inextricably wither and now, at the end of all time, we wander listlessly as aching wraiths through it's strange and wild precipice to percieve, in apathy as the unspeakable beauty of mortal art crumble and transmogrify as dust and smoke, is an agony that would shatter the heart of the universe, if infinite darkness had a heart... the beautiful cities and lights and words and stories all gone all turned into ephemeral embers, flickering in vain as they die in a sea of ash the ash of a thousand burning souls longing for the warmth of another and now, they are all gone no bones remain but our love is eternal i have traversed the ruins of an ancient cities i drifted past the forbidden palace in the east through Dubai, and a strange drowned metropolis i looked for you in the deep dark of the dying Moscow were the fires still fall as rain and the silence is only abruptly put to rest by the shrieks of mad ravens i went on to St. Petersburg, i know you loved it so, but i saw no traces of you i thought i glimpsed a shadow of you through the fog in the remains of London where are you? no matter where you are in this ruined world i will find you

do you remember? we sat by the shore drunk on moonlight and bitter starlight we stumbled in the wet sand collecting strange seashells and i wept at the terrible sight of the end of the world cheap wine burning inside veins both young and old our bicycles laid in the tall grass like ancient metall lovers dead i counted a thousand stars not in the midnight sky but in your hidden eyes you counted thirteen battleships inside my heart and thus we made love like foolish wild things do on a beach with strange seashells and we wept at the terrible sight of the end of the world

Potemkin Heart
he didn't want her to know about the bodies he stole at night the lights he took from others absorbed and snuffed out with his lust the kisses he gave to cold strangers and the listless caress he secretly yearned for he loved her true, but inside he was empty an inverted soul desperately gasping for air she knew so much more than she wanted she saw him in her minds eye stealing into the dark devouring even the starlight laying in the deep ground with the cold people of the earth but her heart shattered long ago now she was only waiting for the calamity in the sky to kiss her homeworld and make it rain fire but he came home before the end just in time for the sky to disintegrate in time for one last truthfull embrace two lovers in vestigial embrace 'neath a black sky vomiting ash and dying birds no prescence but the silence no color but the red and the black no life left in the universe

Calamity
gaunt creature that wounds with bitter prose it is thee, the 13th wraith of wich i speaketh to no exorcism may deprive thee of thy demons thine hatred is a monstrous behemoth and thou art the architect of thine own madness i have given thee songs and music to accompany thine addictions thou art fire and fire blackens i am murky waters and thou drownest in mine dephts i shouldst have let thee drown, but i loved thine timid soul our boats have parted forevermore you sit by some shore, praying to thine vaporous goddess i am some secret ocean, you cannot dream to fathom

platonic hatred
I have purged my sacred atmosphere of billious and twisted countenances the only one spitting bile this time is myself i ***** poison into the eyes of my love but she keeps on kissing my aching skin she says she loves me still even though her eyesockets are but hollow gapes at this moment i'm so scared to leave this prison the place i have been living for the past 100 years or so i destroy the passion i once felt for my kindred so that i may leave with you, on our ship to the stars let me be your moon at midnight as you are the all-encompassing vacuum in my heart let me enter you and combust within you it is the reason for my creation i dream of writing your forbidden name into my skin your secret name, hidden even from your perception for if you hear it, it will be wounded it has happened before it must not be uttered i only scream it inside when i shatter and die within you kiss me now kiss me with those lips that you we're born with, but that belong to me

to love to be a loving human being a good person to love, is a way of life the way of life the ART of life can this form of art be taught? to be in love? madness possession an alchemical storm to be in love... temporary insanity? platonic love, who are you? love is in the absolution you grace me with when i have hurt you love is the violence in my heart love is all the subtle, invincible things love is the image of you in my mind love is every breath had i been a better person, i would have given it to everyone but i only have room for you flames engulf and burn away at the allegory of my skin love is a mask i choose to wear, but it is shaped like my real face, and it's not painful to wear wether love is to burn, let me burn forever

agape
in the feeble shadow cast by the cherry tree the depression of you still sleeps in the grass after all these years... you fell asleep next to me and i stole glances of your kind face for the longest time... i understood the secrets you tried to withold beautiful secrets now they are a part of me forever i am haunted by your breathing your head against my shoulder in the shadow cast by the old cherry tree blossoms caressing the sanctuary where your body once slept next to mine Without you i am but a shadow
