This blog will feature a lot of original poetry. Some good, some bad. It's gotta go somewhere, so let's roll with it.

In the Arms of Andromeda
This dependence on dreams leaves me walking on air
Like smoke crawling through a majestic last right
Dancing down dubious days of delight
This specter is far beyond longing for glory
In the shadow of hope lurks an illuminating story
That brings to light more than one mind can repress
Sufficiently suffocating social success
We can stitch up our cuts and let time become scars
So to spell out our secrets in these cryptic night stars
That keep us in touch with Andromeda's plight
Swearing solace to Cetus, sent to swallow souls' sight

A Taste For the Black
Lit up by demons entranced by desires
That build up like resonance through crystalline halls
Louder than lustfully lamenting calls
A moment of weakness, a fall from that hill
After seeing what happened when Jack came to Jill
It seemed to be innocent, yeah just a quick stroll
Culminating in constraint, confusion, and control
I constantly find that I pine on desire
It's useless and wasteful, just a fool breathing fire
There are people and places I wish I could be
None of them here, and none of them me
So back to these angels entranced in their game
In a world of desires released from their blame
To surfeit on sunshine is their only way back
Deep into the light with a taste for the black

Kings of Molly
Solace surrounds serendipitous souls
Ironically filling up endless black holes
As moonbeams break boundaries we look to the skies
But light speed born backwards will deceive more than eyes
Elemental errors of a species past its prime
Evangelical psychosis breeds the slipperiest of slime
Solitude is master of the loneliest of gods
Surrounded by disaster, facing a myriad of odds
We sing and hum and buzz to these vibrations in our mind
We guess and pose to ponder of that which we'll never find
There are answers to these riddles that are meant to stir the heart
Tangle up in psychic torment breathing passion into art

The Divine Descent
After years of submission my dissension is divine,
I’ve waited in anguish and languished in love,
I’m that heart-beat-down hero that fits like a glove,
In silence too perfect we surface in darkness,
A fresh death’s last breath in this shallow mind’s starkness,
Open these wounds to the swoons of a rose,
Her essence incessant through her eyes as they close…

Nights in the Golgotha
The Stars enshrine eternity and brightly bare our scars
A surrogate maternity giving birth through broken bars
Expansive breaths in understatement circling our psyche
From here to all eternity is much closer than seems likely
These dreams, they keep me up at night, and visions fill my head
And every wanton demoness seems cursed to haunt my bed
Now stepping out in wondrous form astride of heaven's gait
The star-eyed wanderer set's his sights for Planet Satiate
"Wherefore am I to live in trust when so much destruction feeds on lust?
Am I just a pawn; a puppet master's toy? Or am I the virus set forth to destroy?"
"So much depends on what I see; What I identify as me.
What virtues hold me to this ground? What beliefs allow the recognition of sound?"
With this thought he takes a drag to pull his life together
A wispy apparition bound by a vast ethereal tether
Exhaling thoughtless affectations, reflecting cosmic glow
The star-eyed wanderer takes the path that few would choose to go
"The road laid out before us is reflected in our past
An allusion to a mystery born off before the blast
When it's a sick situation and a creation of your mind
Sometimes it's just the better choice to leave it all behind"
Update: 2014 *poetry*
Hey everybody what's up? Sorry it's been so long since I've used this blog page. Ghost of Matsubara has been doing lots of music. We're off to Osaka tomorrow, and we'll be in Tokyo on the 22nd. And in addition we are raising money for our next studio recording. You can pre-order the limited edition CD here -> http://www.gofundme.com/gomnextcd
In other news, regarding this blog, I intend to post more poetry here. I'm going to use this as a publishing upload site for my poetry. Poetry is something I've been doing for years and I have a whole book worth of poems to publish. I hope you enjoy it and if you like it please share it with your friends.
Thnx as always!
