The Threshold Diaries
Babylonic in their effort to ray They reversed their fate in tongues In a language of defy and decay A thousand devils became one So sardonic in their effort to slay So demonic came the end of days So splendid they had sought their fall None for none and woe for all Was the season From Chaos, bred, into the heart Born without reason Looking glass, looking glass, Menace on the wall Tell us how that city grew A whore called Babylon ? And claiming the skies from holy flame to soma the god they derive upraise from peace and coma Many be the plagues of wrath until forgiveness Swarm the land to His command and curse?? And still I dream Of her Belladonna eyes Gazing far to sweet oblivion I am afraid? So still it seems Her porcelain heels did crack As she fell with morning light I am enchained? Enchained to the carcass of becoming Growing, glowing like the moon over tombs Far from perfection but close to addiction Petrifying hopes to a stairway to Hell To Hell? And to Hell they wane? Debris rushing by as swiftly we tumble Turning in a maelstrom of sin It was me, on my knees, who prayed for a shotgun Scorched Vergil's fires and the din within Behold! This is the end. So draconic in our effort to lay An ambush and the blame In a language of defy and decay That we tried but failed to tame So sardonic in our effort to slay So demonic came the end of days So splendid, we had sought our fall The tidal turns, our turrets crumble, drown The darkened skies stifles our cries and frown: It's rotting down. And still I dream Of her Belladonna eyes Gazing far to sweet oblivion I am afraid? So still it seems her porcelain heels did crack As she fell with morning light I am enchained? And if nightmares part us, I will stand But fiercer spectres have returned ? It was her and delicate smile gilded by the gloss of her despotic verve that slithered like a tongue on dead lips from vision to life in every limb, every nerve with punishments lured for the poison and cure I craved for this sticky caress Like a moth to the moon and a venomous spoon The night in her eyes dimmed the burning guile of Death?

Now behold the storm is brewing Leaving lands gone rack and ruin Above, below all ropes unhinged While you shall never reach the serpent gate You try to find You stumble blind So far behind The Path of Stars Lo! The ocean wide as black waves collide A genocide of proud upheaval What has risen once now exalts to dance Infatuating in the masque of evil. Though deeply scarred, we travelled far Blessed by grace and wrath For the blindness And the kindness of those who sharpened knifes behind our backs. Better watch yourselves! Words and wind within our sails To new crusades in larger scales The course is set, the cause is black Take what you get, give nothing back (Come on!) Dead inside, seeking lustres Of divine morning stars And poisoned fruit, alabaster? My quill to thrill the zombified. But still we stand Rich of contraband In our hearts and hand We grasped it though We've been licking shit To meet with gold amidst Slit the holy wrists As prey to bleed this sacrifice? My poetry is suicide The key and seal of serpent gates Entwining with the songs we sang Of winter, mist, and darkness Though deeply scarred, we'll travel far Lest we steer our barque To the brightness? Of a haven and a home Or the likeness and the crushing foam of cliffs and riffs? I've seen the daze go by I have scribed white lies In the gloom of the tomb Of the world's lost saviour But still we stand Rich of contraband In our hearts and hand We grasped it Enthralled by fierce hysteria We're rushing fast As long as sight and stanzas shine From proud iconoclast

This dry massacre to crack her and shatter her ruby tears that sever? Or better? Forget her Yes, I had the choice of murder Yes, I chose to be at war with God? But from the start I lost? Beat the Devil's tattoo over the quicksand of your life Meet the shores your verses line, and hopes, so well-defined And down your throat, no antidote will fight the fire there Only higher flames aspire on drama and despair ? Lose yourself? My parole mocked my tongue Pleased myself, sought control in her song. Balletal, skeletal grace surround her Excite a younger soul to an ivory sceptre (a whirl of regal spine and a delicate minor) from the fecund abyss where her heart stroke the bell with her dulcimer throbs as a foreboding of Hell? So I learned I will be fading long before I'm gone In her eyes the mourning prayers that to the erudite dead belong Catafalque No perfect wave, no ancient grave ordains those feline ghosts That whisper racked to me, in rags, truth's overdose We have all grown old but what have we sold what treasures, promised pleasures have we spilled in vain? Like the wine we praised as manna or our morbid diorama as we died a thousand deaths, faced the gold-cage of tristesse and more sombre panorama, but revived again No! Never so lost now No! Never so lost? Now the die fell on you Bitter pills to consume served on a dagger Forever Sealing Neverland's tomb Plundering Venus´ womb Somewhere the fog is rising contouring elder terror in the minds of man suspended strength, so soon declining filled my books on hate with life again?..

Oh, how cold have been the nights When I, hushed at your side, (inside a Hell in white) would fail to keep a single flame alive? And fragile were my words A promise without worth Carved into stone and earth Above, a silken shadow print of hope? And future vows? Never had I seen the Gods hide at dusk fall Never had I felt such solitude Nor grace coalesce with a devilish nemesis As the moon waned in horror of the funerals to come Of one that had begun undone but shone a score more than the sun. Artemis, oh Artemis How could your eye not foresee this? Save me a prayer, save a kiss Before you leave to black horizons Artemis, oh Artemis Though like a sigh in storms aspired For Death and sweeter reveries I scream my promises in stone and fire. New moon was tolled and she was told To shadow her cruel hunting And their affair ´neath divine stares Was but the stairs that led to war! See the blood spoil over a sickle As she faints, so broke and dizzy I deemed you immortal To order cosmic plans From birth to Death those waters Crashed in glass moments Leto, has she helped you? Hear the comets cry And fall as fiery mortar To prison those who died. Burn!, burn my agonies Incense my feeble pleas Of grace and lunar daze As thunders roar and mountains fall for thee? Though planets lost their way Of War, Lust, and disgrace To just befoul hearts mazed by graves I shall brave torments? Never had I seen the Gods fear the sun rise Never did I greet it as a long-lost friend As when embedded, spearheaded my emerald passed Heading new directions to eternity skies It was the ill-will of this dying world That stole you from my arms But this I swear: I shall be there Each night to guide your starlight dance A stillborn silhouette that twinkles from the frost that crept That eve Sealing sublime constellations ?thou art now immortal Thou art now immortal

From the ground of green seas Or the failure of belief A vision begins breathing with A toxic breath- As a vested demise We court this Lord of Flies: Satan wrapped in leaves and scum Of bittersweet Armageddon! It's another Hell unearthed This is the second cumming? But the Cunt that choke was an acolyte To this God of life and lepers Who crossed the Styx With Boogie man tricks Tooth and Nail? And me: So cold, so dead? Must be a human heart Ascend! Commence! The trees are burning? A hatching plea bore this mundane grief And the urgency of will And black brazen doors Hid more corridors To the even blacker heart of nature roused to drill- A hurricane scar on her children bred to Kill? Never was a Devil More sibilant Maleficent When this hissing, chthonic prophecy Named them stars And stole my heart With the glimpse Of Love and Death under will? Away, away, away from me! Had I not seen the dying of the heart I'd entered Heaven before it fell apart - It was a smothered hell on earth That spit another spell, unearthed And as this heaven stirred for riot Another one remained so violently Still Rise!? So cold, so dead? Must be a human heart Ascend! Commence! The trees are burning? A hatching plea bore this mundane grief And the urgency of will And black brazen doors Hid more corridors To the even blacker heart of nature roused to drill- A hurricane scar on her children bred to Kill? Again and again until the bleeding stops.

Back on the track with a slithered attack of grief We are Side by the side with the night as a voyeurist thief We awake? Trodden to the floor, rotten to the core My sultry eye seeks more Windows to boudoirs, tongues that force encores And darts to the arts that are Rotten to the core, trodden to the floor My lipless mouth seeks more Kisses from the corpse, necromantic thoughts And darts to the arts that are Grave, windswept? Blow! Blow our name Set the world aflame in covetous games And the Pain pours as rain to regain what they stole From us. Glad to gladiate the damned? And he throws his inner sanctum Into this vast arena Fodder to the saints and lions That, as in fever Deflesh, obsessed By bestial savageness And crash the crest Of waves of appetite And I, one of them Would die to pleasure them Cold hands writhe for prayers Mock in colder stone Weaving lay and layers Frenzied, alone Whetting thy dear brushes Paint the pack's town red A phoenix from the gashes Heal this gangrene Trodden to the floor, rotten to the core Decline's ambassador Hymns to the bizarre sounding from afar Be winged by the winds that Blow! Blow our name Set the world aflame in covetous games And the Pain pours as rain to regain what they stole From us? There's so much beauty that was sown The fruits of heaven reaped by carnal autumn storms There's too much beauty to prolong The chants of virtue when vice could rise this pleasure dome

This is the new dimension: A giant fist burst raw to life The ancient wheels were set in motion Stirring mud to magnetise The poundings of a clockwork nova Just on track with genocide Burning white and burning eyes And left me, tempered, mesmerised Oh, these prophecies of damnation Never would I dare to seek them in my heart But dusted streets have brought me, an orphan Straight before the doors of carnal arts Counting whores like prey and raptor Truth announced in grave-deep throat: Speak! (The ill-fated truth unfurled at last:) All of it were lies, all the cries I despised crystallised? How could you leave me? Deep down in the lies I despised To inhale, paralysed? My Hell is calling? All of it were lies, all the cries I despised crystallised? How could you leave me? Deep down in the lies I despised To inhale, paralysed?? Stabbing love into her? It was this black and pinching suit That like poisoned ink tattooed On my skin, in my blood And the soul beneath This mark of falling stars In the afterglow of Mars A battle lost to Venus And the role I thieved A maddening, threatening silence That hushed Amors within me To leave the shore towards war Of worlds and divine order Now this is a new addiction Fixed with tender voodoo chants The world beneath unfolded its Fauna Serpentine and rotten but paradise Despair grew though hopeful mantras Exercised my demons to haunt libertines For one alone, a key, a secret Was torn from me by phantom knives Soon desire forecasts a tragedy Thrashed into the faces of all noble dreams By melting plots and midnight speeches A passport to the shadows on my own decree Back and forth, this Slash-o-rama Call it lost, I call it soul All of it were lies, all the cries I despised crystallised? How could you leave me? Deep down in the lies I despised To inhale, paralysed? My Hell is calling? All of it were lies, all the cries I despised crystallised? How could you leave me? Deep down in the lies I despised To inhale, paralysed?? So hide this night, your crimson smile, inside A secret softly saved from all these vulgar eyes Six feet deeper than their stares could ever seek our Demonlove A venom wind within the whirl we're in It seemed those hours weren't ours to begin But never shall I lose the fate and wisdom to embroidering the stars? A world of glass That we grasped And lost with every lovelorn caress. That is not supposed to be Death Nor is it my armour of wrath They'd never gonna get us They'd never gonna get us They'd never gonna get us They'd never gonna get us now? Oh, no! Pour your soul into my veins Strength shall now eradicate This world, so dazzled, numb of woe And leave me, drunk on vertigo Storms awake in my again Tear down the prison I hid in — I have never fought so strong Against all dread to see But your face cried for the moon, Shall haunt the graves I left too soon In every sea that leads me forth And makes me hoarse and stabbing only Me.

With wrath unleashed As the mayhem feasts In the cold, white light of rage Smoulder bloodscythed eyes Seeking sacrifice From crystals tempting whispers Soon to blight with ice ? I rise as storms roar out my name for thee, belief and this holy shame of a million promises and hope aflame. A world benumbed in vitreous wonder When misery and myth like a burial gown Coffined the void between God and Gutter — I watch it faithful?. Lost-love affairs left footprints on a marbled ocean Wasteful purity decoys a coy sunrise The essence of beginning in each breath aspired Towards the twilight gates of Paradise My feet have failed the steep vicious conservation My sombre view faith- to-faced comforting morgues Will my pulsing screams reach this sharpened distance Or will it fade in agonies? A seething rupture through the skies — white silent Death before me as poor as mankind's lonely lies as quiet as their mourning. When nightfall crawled to Eden A snake to stay, another tragic crime The frost that grew on dusky meadows Of mortal souls — this frost was mine. This frost was mine? I have fallen asleep I have fallen so deep I touched the stars that are all but hole It was a cataract glare So no one was aware That every night was as bright As the finale? My tracks Faded black In the endless white of our aberration Sunsets Defect The glorious grief of my sole horizon I have fallen asleep I have fallen so deep I touched the stars that are all but hole It was a cataract glare So no one was aware That every night was as bright As the fucking finale? A seething rupture through the skies — white silent Death before me as poor as mankind's lonely lies as quiet as their mourning. When nightfall crawled to Eden A snake to stay, another tragic crime The frost that grew on dusky meadows Of mortal souls — this frost was mine. I kept breaking the ice As I swore broken lies I counted steps to my dead-end kingdom With a storm-weary glance I missed the last chance From a darker daze To the grace of graves My aim Was the same: Still the endless white of our aberration Unfold The cold For behind you lurk missed destinations I have fallen asleep I have fallen too deep I touched the stars that are all but hole No one was aware, No caryatides there But ecstasy, apostasy And pearls that wet in porcine Scum? (I stripped my robes to feel this pain? It's the end of the line I'd end the line for you again)
