Cronus

i just want to eat you
i am so fucking hungry
so hungry
i can feel my insides
warring with themselves
and i just want
to devour your skin
taste your muscles
lick your eyes
allow the warm
coppery wash
of your blood
to coat my throat
i want you
like salt
wants meat
i want you
like teeth
want sinew
i can't stop
wanting
i'm just so hungry
the heat
is coming up
from inside me
to shatter me
make me
ravenous
Wendigo
i want you
so very bad
can't shake your
taste
can't stop
tracking
your scent
across the city
you run from me
run from my hunger
hide your liver
and your heart
but i can smell
you
and you set
my teeth on edge
i'm coming
i'm coming
just open
the door
for my big
bad wolf
or i will
never stop
tracking you
from here
until the
stars blow out
and we are nothing
but white bones
who long ago
thought they were
human
and once upon a time
were
hungry

Cellular Memory

our cells
remember
being stardust

and cursed the day
we forced them
to the Earth

we bound ourselves
down to our
own destruction

our cells
remember
the dawn of time

the crawling
ooze
the spark
when life met
life
and exploded
into a thousand little
peering eyes
blinking
at a burning orb
shifting
skyward

the atmosphere
shimmering
to the West
the dark
galloping closer
to the East
and the North Star
still unmoved

tens of thousands
of a hundred thousand
years
and the light will touch us
long after that star is dead
and we pass our cells
down
through time

split
divide
die
reborn

we may have lost
the way upward
but our cells remember
the stars
and stretch across
the expanding universe
like dark planets
looking for
home

Leanan Sidhe

you never saw that Hell coming up behind you
all smiles and pretty eyes
she wiggled right on over to you
black magic kiss
on the side of your cheek

you were waiting for those same red lips
to wrap themselves around your cock
her eyes looking up at you
your hand tangled in her hair

you never saw what she held behind her back
never saw how she looked at you
how she watched you when you slept
never got a fucking clue
too lost in her tongue and those red, red lips

too deep
to get yourself out
you mistook that fire for passion
you couldn't taste the poison
clinging to her words
couldn't fucking take your mind
off of her perfect tits

all you could feel was yourself
sinking into her wet center
her slipping around you
so warm and tight
like some sort of black hole heaven

you never saw the hate in her heart
never saw the gun under the bed
never knew that violence
could come in such as pretty package
"oh, pretty girl,
open your mouth for me again"

you wonder now how the walls go so red
was her lipstick smeared on your eyeballs?
was that the bathroom sink dripping
or your heart?
why is it so sticky in here?
when did her skin get so cold?
when did those horns sprout from her head?

Hell is so very pretty
and has such beautiful green eyes
why are those green eyes taking up the whole world?
Hell has the nicest mouth
the most touchable ass
such delectable hips
and the most perfect tits to slide between

When she came
the Devil stood up and took notice
and when Hell followed with her
you turned to ash and cinders
beneath her perilous hands
and had to bite your tongue
to keep from screaming

Black Dog

you brought in a spark with you
and burnt the fucking room down

you found me
with pieces of meat
hanging from my teeth

you found me
licking away
at old wounds

you found me
all teeth
and yellow eyes

you burnt the fucking room down
to keep me out

you once would have
followed my round ass
all the way to Hell

but look at the trouble
we are in now

I'll bristle when you touch me
I'll howl when hunt me
I'll smile all too much teeth

so much better to eat you with

my eyes may be closed
but I never ever sleep

I licked your hand like an adoring pet
you liked that
and smiled down at me

but I have seen the gates of Hell
where I loved demons
with many heads and grotesque limbs

I have scoured
the earth and the heavens
for tasty morsels of fleshy lovers

I have shoved my head
under the hand of God
and purred dangerously in his lap

Never trust that I am not hungry for you

Do not lay your hand upon my head
with the assumption
that I will not bite you

Do not mistake my growling for affection

Do not turn your back on me

For I never worry
about biting the hand that feeds me
especially when I am oh so hungry

That Dark Planet

your mouth dripped lies
as thick as syrup
your eyes contained
a violent man
with dark convictions
your fingers raked through your hair
and you swore
you'd never see me again

from down in this grave
dug in the clay
of your homeland
I can see stars
ripping the darkness apart
but your heart remains
unchanged
distant as those spinning planets

I kissed your lips
even as they bled
into my mouth
I set your teeth all straight
I held down your eyelids
when you couldn't bare the sight
and met your body
pinned against the mattress

You, raggedy man, had your strings cut
and I held you up
payed for your sins
with mine own sinew and flesh
I made friends with the monsters under your bed
and listened to your clicking tongue
tear me down

yes, from down in this grave
I can see the stars
I can see the black holes
that were your eyes
I can see galaxies collapsing
and novas exploding
your heart is as far
as those distant stars
but back on Earth
I've become the ground
that shifts under your feet
and opens up to swallow you whole
