  • Azure blue

    Pass through into night, as the moon rests on the azure blue petals of flowers that open to greet you. Oh, isn’t it you?Master of Thebes, who walks amongst the living, speaking strange enchantments into the hearts of men still unknowing. Khepri turns the globe, glowing smooth down the howling West. Pleasure, joy rapture in… Read more

  • A GREAT BLINDING LIGHT

    A terrible light came upon the water and every reflection caught its fire.  And a shame rose from the deep.  As a great laughter bellowed, “Imago Dei, Imago Dei.”  For the voice could see my vanity and the pride I tried to hide.  Laughing, it spoke again, “Look and you shall see.”  And my eyes… Read more

  • PAN, GREAT GOD OF MAN!

    Be I, but a womanCalled Death incarnate! See me, balanced in motion, Collecting souls at my Will. God Killer if I choose. God Killer if I choose. Winters wilting flowers Know my name well. They call out to me At the root and I sing Them to sleep, to sleep. Be I not a God… Read more

  • PAUL’S GREAT SIN

    Faith is what matters most, Paul says, removing the Crownfrom the poor mans Head. Faith alone will give you the perks, you can forget about all that supposed “Good Work.” Believe in the man and not in the teaching, you don’t have to do that which you’re seeking. Just follow my lead and spread the… Read more

  • I, THE GREAT BEAST & HE, BABALON

    See me, high on kingship, Crowned by the sun, sword high, Magick running through the rivers Of my arms, sigils bursting from the Rims, strung out and spellbound on gin.  And you, in surrender, your adams Apple shining on soft smooth skin, As the silver of your chain reachesThe canyon’s collarbone end.  Here, I claim myself, The Beast.Full of electric fire,… Read more

  • How Much Rage It Takes To Be This Soft

    Do you crave my wisdom like the salt sea air? Full of ancient riddles, knowing forgotten lands, thick with symbols of the first night on earth. Before the dawn broke and the battles waged, before the relief of light. When you thought fear only lingered in the dark. Before your heart jumped at the shadows… Read more

  • No God Wants This

    What is there to say? Chaos is nature’s true name. Man has forgotten the sun and  Taken for granted the golden rays.  People murder each other in the name of gods.  Clinging to their rosary beads and books of myth.  Afraid to whisper the truth, no god wants this. Read more

  • LORDS OF THE LIGHT

    Awaken Fool from the fallen cliff, From the curse of life and death, For there is something deep within, That catches your mighty breath. Go forward as the Hermit does, Not fearing the shadow realm, Sneering at all there is and was, Growing strong with Light at the helm!  The body is but your secret house,The mind, a web of netted… Read more

  • Fashion and furniture.

    I decorate my apartment with words Fashioned like antique furniture. Hanging verbs in frames, catching Light on golden chandeliers. I wear language like a tulle skirt, Twirling tussled words into fabric, Weaving colorful realities round My fingers like jeweled rings. I am a walking poem, A raving manifesto, A kaleidoscope scribe, Spinning words into the… Read more
