Cold shadows of leering stalkers,
Velvety nights of soft, golden laces,
Harsh razor edges of angel's wings,
Feathery eclipses of steely pinions,
Downy plumes of twilight's specters,
Darkening halos of diamond's ashes,
Clouds of dust, interlacing patterns,
Of ruby, emerald, and silver weaves,
Moon stare away through cloak of mists,
Of baleful sun scathing 'cross the dunes,
Seas of sun ray, seas of doom.
Smoke in your mouth
An acid, sweet lover
Kiss the flame
Inherit the dust
Burning intelligence
Voice the pain
Entice the lust
Trust the fire
Consumed by more
Than passion
Burning hands
Thrust into the night
Screams of agony
Cries of pain
A passionless lover
Unthinkingly strong
Your ashes burned
The past is dust
Addicted to love
Live on in the flame
I AM
by MCD
Killer of angels, bearer of knives
Crusher of promises, speaker of lives
Burner of dreams so carefully spun
Deathless yet mortal; life’s only begun
Bringer of malice and anger and hate
Seer of visions of life’s filthy state
Watcher of battles that have not begun
Beholder of murders, achiever of none
Forger of fantasies formed out of lies
Betrayer of holy, fooler of wise
Prophet for those who cannot recall
Observer of empires that now like snow fall
Viewer of much, speaker to few
Patron of old, opposer of new
Dying yet live, seeing yet blind
Heaven and hell and living combined
Watcher eternal, yet fleetingly brief
Watch the deaths build, and then watch the grief
As the impassive earth turns now once more
Life is declining, its final encore
Observe as now just one more race takes the play
To live and to die and to see one more day
But humankind too is only a spark
When the fire is gone all returns to the dark
CURSE
by MCD
Curse the wind and all it carries
Curse the earth and sea and sky
Curse the slave and curse the master
Curse all things that crawl or fly
See the earth with life now teeming
Curse it all and run away
Curse the air and curse the water
Curse the night and curse the day
Curse the winds
Curse the sky
Curse the gods
As death draws nigh
Curse the flesh
And curse the pain
Curse the profit
Curse the gain
Flee from life
And through the door
Cursing, cursing
Evermore
Arachne 2000
by MCD
Arachne
Spin the web
Of shadows and lies
Catching us
Pulling us down
Whispering impossibilities
Sing the song
Of silence and desire
Ripping our dreams
Taunting us
Coaxing us to give
Weave the tapestry
Of blood and death
Entrancing us
Pulling us closer
Evading our questions
Arachne
Burn our dreams
Tear our fantasies
Our tears are dust
And so are we
NO
by MCD
Didn't want to change the world
Didn't want to choose
Either way there's no escape
Either way I lose
Running through a dreamworld of
Pain and agony
Didn't want to take a side
Didn't want to see
Don't want to make a difference
All I want’s to live
Don't want to sacrifice
Don't want to give
I have no choices now
One thing to choose
There's only one escape
But even then I lose
I'll make my sacrifice
Not what you desire
But I didn't volunteer
To set my life on fire
Just one more step to take
I can and I will
I never thought that I
Could ever kill
Lives do pass so quickly for
Those given the choice
But it is now the time
To kill my failing voice
What is there to live for now
Much more for which to die
As I drift off at last
I have to wonder--why?
Ultraviolet
by MCD
futuristic, incandescent, sterile, clean cut lies
ultraviolet, watching, staring, malevolent eyes
curse the tainted people, watch as each one of
them dies
kill the flaws, condemn them to the everlasting
fires
yin and yang have no place here upon our deathless
pyres
overthrow the flawed ones, see their reign now end at last
ultraviolet, watching, from the future and the past
