His last resort

surprised by a sea haar rolling inland,
he pricked up his ears for
the call of the foghorn.

sidling through a wicker work of bracken and nettles,
sliding and tripping over slimy rocks,
he crawled towards his refuge:

 this stalwart pillar of his yearnings - a light tower.

icy talons sank into his bowed skull, accosted as he
was by a blustering gale - sputum of foam and brine
hissing and roaring from the bottomless crevasses of the ocean.

frozen on a rickety spot, nerves stretches to a strain,
he howled a shriek of despair against the hungry beast.

a mouth bloated with a legion of slithering tongues
gobbled him up; down a torrential maelstrom he went,
spiralling towards the womb of that gargantuan dread.

White Blossom

Fury

Eyes dripping of blood and fire, starhair rushes its whirls of seduction across your indigo shroud - enduring an insatiable fever that whetted exotic appetites and a manly desire to thrust your soul into the font of bespoken aeons and to rise one time more - reassembled, galvanized by primordial forces, reborn through the rite de passage of a new empyrean hermeticism - and destroy the black shapeless forms lurking inconspicuously in the high vacuum. Behold now these lumps of carrion marching in a sullen pilgrimage towards the gates of oblivion: neck broken, spine humped in shame and terror, vile casualties of their own indoctrination of haunting nightmares, sentenced to eternal torment under the stark scrutiny of bland nonentity. The undying fire raging in your chest: their bane. Dusting the remaining embers of stars and newly formed planetary system into stark penal colonies made from dark matter... Airing the canvas of space-time, trawling a spree of a trillion galactic cobwebs int
