Oh, I welcome thee, sweet suffering
with open arms and hollow stare
for I mourn do not on this summoning
but devotion I to you declare.
Oh, crisp beauty of sweet torment
guide me into vaults of heartlessness
to sink my soul in deepest lament
and calmly stroke the nothingness.
For I shall bow to you in cold obedience
on which you thrive, wicked and hidden
and the joy of pure deliverance
I am solely and eternally forbidden.
And then at night I see your vivid face
deceived I am not but filled with fright
for I know thy face and its grim grimace
as death slowly takes you out of sight
So I welcome thee, sweet suffering
with open arms and pains
My Tower In The Sky
Is made of broken, bitter tears
is made of scattered dreams
which raven weaves like beams
in my tower forsaken for years
high in the clouds I look down
while the winds gush in my ears
grief they bring in a quiet frown
in my tower forsaken for years
and a crescent dies in a cloud
with face burried in solid pain
cries echo in a raven shroud
distant orisons I hear again
then the eventide draws near
hollow stars gather'd once more
the raven's weaved tears, so clear
in my tower deafened by caws
in my tower with carrion walls
I wrap in cerements the day
until my very last tear falls
on those
In the veil of dusk we gathered
bound to find the winding way
with spirits yet not shattered
we roamed the mound astray
and breaths of frosty vapour
crawled before our eyes
shades to wake the Maker
were slowly menacing in size
my hunt was getting tired
and the grass began to sting
will-o'-the-wisps were fired
an' leaden hearts began to sink
we knew her hidden abodes
we knew she waits in solitude
relentless would be the assaults
she rancorously contribute
my hunt was getting frightened
and the trees began to scorn
the arcane kept us lightened
as I longed for monarch dawn.
In the courtyard I left my men
and grasped my chest
It beckons from the inside
the heart filled with gore
it sickens from the dim light
a heart in rotting core
it pounds inside a hollow
the heart drowned in tar
the ooze that drops is sorrow
a heart with blacken'd scar
I beckon from the last pit
the heart that waits to perish
a chest is torn and bare slit
by heart, cold and hellish
I beat inside a death shell
it pounds to split apart
it gorge alive its own cell
my self' - devoured heart.
The lonely twilight lastly arrived,
bearded, tired and cold,
the weary candles it placed aside
an' waited the night, dry and bald.
Time?
it was hard to tell the time
for all the clocks began to snore
and bells lulled a 'good-night' chime
quiet and dark cuddled on the floor...
only...
behind one Romanesque door,
inside the minster's old vestry,
a royal folk disturbed the night
with cups of spirit, plates of pastry,
indecent slang and bleary sight...
'Clink!' (full glasses) -
'splash!' (deep pitchers),
cheered hoarse features
and the folk themselves:
a rook with a crimson crown,
another one with a coronet horn
a bishop in a
Ages of sadness flow into me
ages of mercy weep to be...
aeons of love moan to be free
my aeons of hatred I gave to thee...
I will erase my soul,
even if I have a thousand lives to spend
I will wander through the ashes of light
even if I lose myself forever in the dark
gods are silent, demons sleep...
I will walk heartless above the abyss
even if I have a thousand tears to give
I will reach the mournful gates
even if I am cursed by a thousand fates
I will engrave on the perished portal
with bleeding hands: 'Art Is Immortal'
arcane lips, a broken arch...
I will succumb your fading shadow
even if I lose all my thousand hallows

Literature
Scars of Today,Pains of Morrow
Thrown in the ashes of the past
in holiness I once stole
in darkness I once reached
fools of demise insanity preach
my entity is a worn out whole
now a foul mask I only wear,
at last.
Present now speaks to me
with a voice of a fading light
with a voice of a forlorn call
and blind love depraved us all
sacred tears still burn inside
I walk with cold sore feet

Manton arrived at exactly 5 pm at the threshold of his cousin's mid-eighteenth century house. He was about to ring on the bell, when a sudden feeling of faintness blindfolded his vision. Weakness seized his whole posture. He gasped for air; for a gulp of living air. It felt like his chest was squeezed by two giant iron arms. Almost paralysed Manton could not inhale. Then the nausea crawled upon him and everything he was seeing and hearing was blackness. His rested his body on the door while his lungs were still gasping for breath. The next second a strong wind flashed by and swung the two lanterns: the only source of light brightening th

Manton climbed the stairs and stropped to take a deep breath. He had to climb seven floors of this old building just to realise that his auntie, to which he was was going, was living on the fifth floor. These things happen when you feel distracted by different random thoughts. You forget on which floor you have to stop and ring the bell.
Two minutes later Manton was standing a front of a huge wooden door with rusty locks. He rang on the bell twice.
'Manton, my dear! I was expecting you a bit later.' exclaimed his auntie when she opened the heavy door. She was coquettishly smiling and her face glowed with surprise. She always looked lik
Up the wooded valley hill
a sudden chill grabs your feel
chill in a ruined shape,
it stands waiting, black and still
your self-control it tries to kill
up, up the castle gate.
Uneasiness from you isolate
no one will join you this late
... this time of night,
the fright rises, it's only eight
empty windows hush and hate
... not a speck of light.
It is Berry's imminent sight
close your eyes or fear will ignite
... the senses freeze,
do not seek a place to hide
for all the shadows hold you tight
... visions not at ease.
Dungeon holes begin to seize
will their quiet ever cease
up, up the ruined hill,
did you enjoy the morb
