Sundown over a ruined place
Black trees reach for a man
Once in death
Barely alive, slowly rising
From a shallow grave
Night of lore evermore
Not blind but with broken eyes
Gazes curious at the olde night skye
Majik of the moontime begins
Silver tooth tears the roots in his head
Coming alive deep inside the gravekeeper’s grin
Dead before nevermore
Not blind, but with accursed eyes
Shadow creeps
No rhythm, no rhyme
Wretched wanderer slips through the gloom
Dark earth will bear the stain
Flesh and blood
First bite, miserable site
Will of the gravekeeper’s tooth
Night of gore, nevermore
Not blind, but with solemn eyes
Gazes indifferent to the olde night skye

Along a solitary road
Trees bow to the ground
Adorned in shadow
Silence speaks so cold
Whispers fly on dusky wings
Dark is falling
Summer rust in the sky
Movement in secrecy
Ascending cruelty
Lake with the full moon rises
Emerald to ebon, a subtle copulation
And the day ends
Gold’s shimmering
As it’s fading into shade
She’s been waiting
Willowy silhouette from the underworld appears
Coveting immortal souls
Eyes burn with disdain
Feral and hollow
Stranger with ill intentions
Archaic mind of mysteries and necromancy
Ivory mare chases the stars
Chilling iniquity possessing purely
Lady with the full moon rides
Mission to ruin
Arrant domination
When the day comes
Black is shimmering
As it’s turning to morning green
Lady mare returns
To join those who have been waiting far beneath

Time has no meaning anymore
It’s just numbers in circles on the wall
Years kept alone
Was better that way
Faded cries, pain burns cold
Nothing left to say
Here lies one
King of forgotten men
Sighing the last breath he would ever take
Ripped from being by his hand
Brooding silence of untimely death
Life out of season
Long ignored
No sympathy, won’t catch you when you fall
Dreams turn to ruin
Poison is the pretty way
Bottles drained, story ends
Remnants of the day
Here lies one
King of forgotten men
Crying, I curse death
Efforts all in vain
I’m alive here without my friend
Eternal twilight
Sun won’t shine again

House of Wary Shadows

Autumn’s eleventh hour chimes
In an old broken brick house
Shadows spilling out of cracks in the wall
To observe the coming night
Inside neglected tenebrous confines
Sordid vapors craving solitude
Scattered quickly through
Rain-scented halls
To below where dark was right
Intruder who comes is unwanted
Burden for idle shadows we
This is our time, suffer no light
Prattling spawns of the dark complete
Vicious bright we cannot breathe
In fear we strike without mercy
Go we now
Ominous cloud of death
Purging up from the cold deep depths
Beware wary soul
Travel not at night
Resting sad eyes near the fireplace
Didn’t know shapeless murderers
Gathered slowly from dust-scented halls
Blood on stone, no time to wait

An Elusive Encounter

Late one evening
In a woodland hideaway
I was gazing at worlds so far away
When under the moon
Something caught my eye
I couldn’t say
Had never seen its’ kind
Watching me from behind a lonely tree
Face to face with uncertainty
Misshapen figure, ashen silk hair
Coal blackened eyes
They haunted me
An abstract feeling crept upon me
No escape
I was frozen, could not run away
Under its’ spell
Losing my mind
This can’t be real
Not my time to die
Reaching out from behind that lonely tree
Flesh to flesh, with probability
I’d never see home
This forest my grave
Then to my surprise, it started to scream
Rising dawn came along to my relief
Without a trace, vanished obscurely
Not of our kind, ashen silk hair
Coal blackened eyes
They haunt me still

On a stormy sea a captain sailed
For a dark shore under winter’s veil
Cerulean moon beneath red clouds
Acheronian ancient ground
Dreamlike wandering, climbing
Through the mist and rain
Icy voices calling him
To the peak above
In the withering BEYOND
On the mountain crest navigator stands
Eyes crystal orbs
Behold sea worn man
Circle of three, morose clad seers
Speak into the wind, past is clear
Low lamplight burning
Finding honor ends in shame
Jeweled dagger plunging deep
To the core despair
Mad pirate’s descent
Dead but didn’t know

Close your eyes and go to sleep
Is your dream so deep?
Never seen before
Real, a crystalline sea
Distant shores of green
Let me take you away
Never to awake…
