i see my prey through a glass door
i feed on her eyes,
i feed on her memories,
i feed on her smiles.

My prey turns into a ghoul
By midnight her body hangs by the ceiling
And blood drips down her spine

the blood drips on the floor
her eyes ***** roll down the wood
her tongue hangs by a thread
i confess my love for my prey

the fly sticks to the door
the buzz makes me happy.

The ***** magazines lie on the floor
with cover girls of blood

i write a poem and jump into the pool
i swim in her bile
and drink her corpuscles
i play with her ***** hair
and make love to her dead soul


By morning she is alive,
she sleeps beside her night
And there is blood no more


By night again,
i wait till ten
when her blood is on the floor.

twenty years from september the third,
50 years from make-belief world
My shadow will lean on yours,
Don't blame your darkest depths
with skulls of cave on the northern sea,
buried beneath your ocean of fear,
a part of you, impromptu,
to face your chill.

Let me start with tales of man,
oh how man stood on sand,
and told tales of ghost, ghouls and cursed tombs;
Man feared often animals, the plague, deforestation,
or the ****** expression of a wife's gloom,

And to tell the tales from parts of the dark
where hid bats and caves,
i assure you, men are fools and they made fake stories
of escapades!

Juxtaposing their wars of glory,
seems absurd beside their horror stories
and to tales that you heard as midnight fables,
the crooked shadow and destruction of heaven

And the puppets of midnight scare
that creep to you with a note of beware,

to the graves that pass after dusk,
and the smoke from the buried Earth,

I tell you are nothing, but Human!
No one is Satan but him!
No one hides in the dark
But darkness within!

Man fears only Man, i tell you lad!
more appropriately, himself;
but is a meek, a coward , a shame of pride!
To stories they have told of ghost, ghouls and plague,
Are stories of themselves behind the crooked chase!!

Impromptu is man's middle name
And to fear him is a question of why,

Because men **** men
And hide in dark skies,

Men **** men,
And in darkness they see their own eyes.

Impromptu, bashful men,

fear is their middle name.

From ends of time and seasons quaint
i have asked "what aroused thee?"
Thy spirit of ombre game
between hope and melancholy
Summer, the mighty king of pastoral sonnets
sits on the thrones of melody
Autumn with thy fruits of farmers and gulls
And Spring! the mighty spring
the luxury of fame and splendour
Bless me with thy Poetic Muse of fame and glory
Poets of fall, poets of glee
poets of Jove, poets of eternity
mock me with thy haste
Write me through elegiac taste

i come to you with snow and king
tell me when i killed your joy,
Paris never loved Helen in any dire season
Winter never attacked the city of Troy
Nor have i burned you with glazing heat
like summer does through months
or the autumn that has interlude itself
cunningly between farewell and Jove's lust
or the spring whose beauty is unacceptable to poetic realms
and have filled human minds with fake charms
What is beauty without turmoil and hate
but also a warmth from your lover's arms?

Look at me, and tell me if i mirror you,
of human fates and glory
look at me, and i will tell you
of man and his story
Have faith in me and take in my beauty
take in the snow of your dreams
I bid adeau to your poetic realms,
For all i can try and be a hero in your escapade
i can try to wear and armour and rescue your elegiac notes
here's my tale for your poetic fervor,
here's my letter to you.

Today as the tomorrow sighs
sawdust on the gleam
Yester-year, goodbye carols
goodbye all your broad eyed smiles and tally **
to Mary or Agatha or Caroline with a C
i hardly remember her name!
something with a blue and fake smile
and something about her hair,
my memory is in despair!
Or to you, or to the gulls
or to the sawdust from your house
I have broken thee from the roots of the pavement
a dollar for each window
a shilling for the roadside engravings
A dime for your penny-less worries
And to cremate the red of the fire
my un-tied shoelaces are barely of importance to the world!
I don't need to buy your monday blues
or to match the sunlight to the starch
Tell Gary, Harry, or any other bloke
to put the chandelier during christmas or summer
and carry the sawdust in your heart if you are generous
for a diamond studded disintegrated cloak.

Margerie Grey, some rendezvous prey
kneeling down to a box,

In my soul searching days,
was i a spectator in a glaze?

Hiding beneath a broken cross.

Margerie I remember, was 14 in such a december
when snow covered most of her spine
Her blood shot eyes and blood-less veins
Bleeding dust and chanting their names

Wouldn't it be all when books burnt with lives
And strangers cut with knives
would be long forgotten in a box?

I remember I was there
With the same pain and despair,
14 and holding and hand,

Dear Margerie,
Beauty is black,
but black is their soul,
don't stroke fire,
**** them when they are old.

Let them die with guilt and guise,
while you hold yours with memories of youth,

Margerie, tell them honey,
impatience is Satan's fruit!

Dear dear Margerie! show them your pride
show them you'll take them as your guide:

to intolerance and lies;

And a fake morgue in Paradise.

My kingdom of fake lies and rusted promises
made me a carpet of ivy poison

I mocked your heart
and your precious horses

I burned the letters of my favoured corpses

Don't stand there
bow down to me you insolent fool
You heroic concept of utter foolishness
Your trade with other Kingdoms
let me down, you, YOU!!

And i have been standing alone
in my glistening kingdom
made of broken dreams and ice

Here burns the fire of your blithering Naive thoughts
Go jump into it like frightened mice!!

And leave me alone to plot my evil potions
Where guile and guts are my carved forks
And pour it with fears of girls with love

Pour it down to me
You know my story

My braided hair
and eyes full of glory
once with a brave knight in a tower

AND ON HE WENT WITH HIS SWORD
AND STUCK IT DOWN MY THROAT

And there it was,

The Ice Queen with the frozen power.

The trees were a particular shade of green,
My boat was painted white
I was a sailor by birth,
A sailor by right.
Your chapter was covered in dust
beside Clapton's disk and Whiskey from the last decade
Go out and preach freedom to poor men with riches
And cross the river for me.
For if you won't, my boat would be stupid
And the river a waste
Some swift sailing turned into
A wild goose chase
My boat would be without oars and
the pole star wouldn't be of much use
For My direction is pointless,
but it leads to you.
