Temptation

Feel the glass, dig the heart
Buried underneath
Make up and Art
To spit it out
bluntly.

Take your deepest breath,
Tie the knot around the vault,
Possess the senses of disgraced souls -
Shut down the gold
Onto the dust,
The parity will remain
Unforgotten.

Your hand will clench
On the offered breast
As she will whisper in your ear :
"Don’t be afraid my child
It will only hurt once."

The Awaken

Don’t let the hand rest onto the pounding chest,
release the hallow chains of the awaken
lying under the dust of wedding unveils.

The fuming breath, devastating desert,
colouring pupils of golden flames,
waves the beads around her neck.
A thousand souls perished, to the clinking,
Of the necklace with no age.

Don’t wake the fire asleep in its veins.

Trompe l'Oeuil

The eyes widen before the beauty of palpable skin
smelling the warmth of the body, twisted, with
perfume pounding in your head.

Her heavy black curls resting on her waist injects
the first spread of adrenaline, infected with visions
of a slow motion toxins, consuming.

You grovel along her shape and line, you breath the
feverish warmth enclosing your sins, voraciously.

It is only when lace will strangle your phalanxes
on her thighs, desire will clench your fingers,
tense your jaw, and spread its intoxication
along your artery, straight to your heart.

Midnight’s is tolling at the steeple peek.
Her milky skin calls for the lick of her nine
lives underneath.

Ablaze

A night believing among my strength
Night and day have once embraced
Crooked the dazzle above my head,
Setting wings ablaze.

Above the clouds of forgiveness
I erected the witness cross of my fate
And Crucified myself,
Cramming silver nail into my poisoned flesh
Releasing the boiling blood I should have saved
Before twisted rain consumed my breath
For you are my disgrace.

Reflected lust diamond given away
Filled the universe’s raven coat
By the intense chinks for wished stars
Shooting my sparkle across the sky
Cause it's a shame being human.

Amethyst sins will now remain
The final judgement of my faith
Infected by the glaring truth of love.

To Top

The Line

The last journey of the nightingale
Flaking a white flag against the wind
Shades the Aeolian smiles.

Cloistered path alongside life
Forsakes the dais of astral night,
The stillness of suspended lights
Already in the past.

At the break of dawn
The sun will no longer shine
On your flat line.

Mirrored Emotions

Real life is on the other side
Of that cell made of glass
Where the Devil hides
When you walk by.

I wish a word
Would wake my mind
So I could realize
Where I stand and Why…
Why I traded a kiss
From the Evil one,
For a soul I used to have
But wasn’t really mine.

Motions of blank-identity images
Roll slowly before my eyes
Like a red carpet for a star,
I walk, on the path of someone
Blind.

I watch lips moving smoothly
Telling those words I cannot hear.
Somebody has muted the sound
And left me blinking
With for only subtitles
Lines that make sense
Only from left to right
As if the end
Was the beginning
To another dream.

The Phoenix Beneath

I danced around your desire
Showing, hiding
This consuming fire
Devastating my pride,
Ripped against walls
I wish I would have crashed –
More dirt to add to your ash.

You never thought
I would live long enough
To want everything back -
Follow you in your nightmares
Hunting your reflect in mirrors
Make you wait for some more
Before I kick you underneath the Earth -
Better twice than once.

I dirt my nail into your flesh
Putrid, mouldy and well deserved
Spreading me hypnotical acid
To poison your skin
And reach you within.

Yes, this is real.
I will rip you in pieces.
I am the phoenix you never believed in
Here to set fire to your wishes and dreams
And cut short your pathetic life’s story.
You’re nothing but my own device.

I’ll use you until the very last part
Selling your heart 50 000 dollars
Even if it isn’t worth that price -
The black market never asks.

Your head is my trophy
Your blood my price
I will drink until your eyes run dry.
Maybe you’ll see the truth after that -
How I am more skilled than you
For telling lies
And hide the angered darkness
I have inside.

Just shut your mouth and say go.

Unlighted Trap

Sit on heaven's door
And look at the appealing bliss
From which you prevent your life.
You only see darkness billowing
Like curtains left to the wind
Under a lowering sky
Instead of the dazzle
Gleaming in water shine
Glowing in your eyes.

Be careful
You step on
Broken glass
Don't let it slice you
In twice.
Don't let it last
Cracking and jangling
Under your tip toe
Caressing its peaks.
Shutters fluttering outside
Cover the muffled cries
Banging in your head

Suing your mind's breaks.

Shut up
Muzzle those bruises
Mute the dazzle
I want peace
On my land

Bells toll for you and none else.
Are they from heaven or from hell ?
