The Blind Idiot Gods (A Tribute to H. P. Lovecraft)
Perched upon his carven throne and cloaked in ethereal darkness
Rendered sightless in the battle giving birth unto his madness
Banished to the distant stars, imprisoned beyond time’s gates
All hail the Nuclear Chaos, he who commands the liers-in-wait
The Daemon Sultan of the void where the black vortices spiral
Where death dances to demonic drumming, muffled, maddening, and vile
Accursed piping of the Faceless One playing wild and monotonous melodies
Summons forth the Nameless Mist ceaselessly seeking his dooming entry
Behold the lurker at the threshold, the stalker of the stars
The color out of space, the haunter of the dark
The whisperer in darkness, the shadow out of time
The thing upon the doorstep, waiting for the ebon planets to align
He who is lord of the eldritch, the harbinger of strange days
That which lies in deathless slumber, the one who shall not be named
The cosmic wells seethe and boil with the pitch of primordial life
At the Mi-Go priests of Yoggoth droning their wicked and blasphemous rites
Upon the foreheads of the gnawing larva the sinister seals were set
And they recited the beast’s number, “seven and nine down the onyx steps”
From beyond the gulfs of infinity a sardonic preternatural titter marked the hour
As the foul protoplasmic star sanguine plunged with a lust to devour
Out of the depths of time, from a place only mighty Dagon sees
Lies an unfathomable eon old evil, awaken the thing that should not be
Pallida Mors
I am the eternal illness for which there can be no inoculation nor defense
I am the ever lurking inevitable curse, the merciless devourer of all existence
I’m the unprejudiced reaping of spirits and the stripping of heavenly wings
The shattering of crowns and halos, the one for whom the banshee screams
I’m the roaring dragon, the eerie silent shadows in the wake of Hiroshima unfurled
Conquistador of humans and angels alike, the fateful wasting away of worlds
I am the longest darkest slumber, the suffocating abyss to life’s steadfast descent
Hell-stalked pallida Mors, commanding general of war, famine, and pestilence
The noose’s embrace and lead’s kiss curing your lonely suicidal depression
The cold lifeless artist who inspires one’s own twisted homicidal obsessions
I am the appending doom foretold of with vehemence by the prophet Nostradamus
Obsidian gate six feet under to Hades, unabashed sacrifice to rotting Eurynomos
Sackcloth cloaked wraith of woes, taking flight upon swift and ghastly wings
The severing of fig from tree like a scythe keener than the deadly samurai’s swing
I am the poisonous hypodermic fang that penetrates the pulsing blue veno
The lethal injection of synthetic opiates trans-mutating your coursing hemo
I am the creeping of necrosis, aggressive gangrenous infection of the flesh
Pandering to the gnawing frenzied maggots at the snuffing of thy last drawn breath
Malignant deformities born in a cesspool of Chernobyl’s irradiated mutagens
I am military scientists developing warfare chemurgy and experimental pathogens
Stalker of White Chapel, the serrated scalpel that slit the prostitute’s throat
Impervious to the seething crimson horror, admiring her gasping musical notes
The most taboo antagonist older than the eons, end game between the hyena and lion
I am the composer of annihilation, sorcerer muse to all that is dead and dying
The crushing forceps of abortion delivering the unwanted rape and crack babies
I am the therapeutic peace of euthanasia and the agonizing madness of rabies
I am the final stygian destination to all of creation’s unfathomable journey
Cosmic explosions unleashed in the individual flat lining on the cardiac gurney
I’m the grave irreversible effects stemming from morbid obesity and starvation
I’m the sovereign agenda of political bedlamites dictating the genocide of nations
The sealing of the transaction between the swindling devil and naïve Faustian
I’m the kindler of the ovens of Auschwitz, thumbs down signal of Rome’s Colosseum
I’m the persuasive spokesmen of commercials selling carcinogenic inhalation murk
The intoxicated bedevilment cultivating families like wilting flowers in a bed of dirt
I’m the wickedly alluring nectar of the noxious hemlock and the deceptive nightshade
Indestructible warrior on a sworn mission, conceived to continuously exterminate
Macabre love offering of the Branch Davidians, communion of the Jonestown sect
The eldritch Hale Bop and its frozen ion trail where its dead congregation is swept
I am the astrological Arcanum of stagnant discoloration on the rising blood moon
My decrepit essence haunting mortuaries and tainting archaic mausoleums and tombs
I’m what Poe and Lovecraft exploited with deepest loathing and bizarre fascination
I am the lunatic firing at random and the anarchy amidst mass assassinations
I’m the worm infested pages of the Codex Gigas, festering abomination summoned from within
Fiery retribution poured out on Sodom and Gomorrah, the wages of unatoned sins
I am the shifting of the sands as they gradually slip past the hourglass’s narrow threshold
I am the separating of grain from chaff, I am the harvest of ripening souls
I’m the seventh plague of Egypt, Noah’s flood that cleansed earth of the Nephilim
I am the instantaneous incinerating force of the all-seeing composite Seraphim
The rappings of the ebon Raven and Prince Prospero’s red ballroom finale
The shadowy preternatural phantoms which dwell down every city’s nocturnal ally
I’m the plague masked by pockets of poesies and the reason Mary’s garden grows
I am the infamous pied piper of Hamlin and the future Christmas Carol ghost
I’m the stark wrath and testament of Golgotha, reminder that even gods can die
I’m the swallowing void, lord of innumerable forms, I am death personified
The Harlequin’s Lullaby
Rest thy weary eyes and settle thy tongue dear child
The sun toils no longer, ‘tis the hour for fay dreams
Of sultry gypsy maidens and two-bit whimsical Jacks
Nefarious masquerades in the carnival of iniquities
Mystagogue takes the podium with beguiling intent
Bellowing forth his perorating pompous sovereignty
A pythonic precursor of blasphemous abominations
Harboring vistas that pander to thy morbid curiosity
Transcend the threshold like eager autumnal spirits
Whisked away like taraxacum florets upon a zephyr
To join deathly ranks of the lost spectral audience
There to eternally mourn their broken earthly tethers
So deviate not from thy sanctum in naivety little one
Lest your soul be subjugated by the imprecating moon
Alas to be ensnared for thy untimely impetuous fate
For the infelicitous deeds of a tittering devil’s buffoon
For such a long time
My soul has been searching for yours
Yearning for you, so empty inside
When you came along
And smiled at me
My heart skipped a beat
And I knew
It was you
My soul had been searching for
But why the testing of souls?
The hurt and the pain?
Would we ever be the same?
My tears were real
I thought we were through
But you proved me wrong
You showed me that our souls are strong
We truly are as one
Our love has long begun
And will carry on
I am yours and you are mine
Forever through the tests of time

Love you my sweet Ray :)
Y'all are so sweet you're giving me a toothache! :P
You found me wandering through the hopeless dark
A lonely soul who carried his broken heart
You took those shattered pieces, and I softly wept beneath the moon
But my sorrow soon turned to love, as we both began to swoon
In you I saw an angel and I sought to mend your injured wings
You enchant me with your song that only an angel could sing
I showed you my true being, a creation formed by evil hands
But you melded together the pieces in beauty the moment you took my hand
Because you are a divine creation, the goddess I will worship ever on high
Life will never know our death, because this love can never die
You summoned me out of my oblivion, and gave me reason to live again
Together beyond forever, our love shall never end!
