Undead Prime

What can an ending mean for you 
When there's nothing you've yet begun?
How can you sense the cold 
Creep of nightfalls 
When you have never seen the sun?

"The limits that you most dextrously use 
To stay within the bindings
Lesser wraiths would have easily loosed..."

They are charming to we apart 
Who merely look upon them but,
Cause terror in those who understand...
Those lace bracelets, spell-wrapped,
Snug 'round your wrists and hands 
Await your waking of the Overwill
To project the Fear
That first cruelly maddens
And then assumes command...

(For Scary, with respectful affection)

Death Delivered Reluctantly

Death Delivered Reluctantly 

If people would just behave 
More courteously
Have aneurysms or heart attacks 
Save me the sweat that needs be 
Spent using hatchets or cutlery 
It's not as if they'd be immortal 
If they'd never encountered me 
Or others of my kind who only wish 
To free their souls from gross bodies 
Of meat and gristle that'll only turn 
To mould and worse, food for worms 
When wouldn't they rather be recalled 
By those who loved them while 
They were vital and walked the Earth in 
Search of beauty and of all 
That life is worth...?

Adipose Overdose

Now I’m wondering if I’m suffering that killer plague of fear that’s our loudest alarm. Soon some John Doe will be eaten, what remains mutated by cosmic force we don’t understand until it’s the biggest piece of furniture 
or anything in the office: the mass of a desk, computer, a whole IT station couldn’t compete with such a mountain of meat which is still expanding. Exponentially.
In order to avoid a less gruesome fate, nuclear 
weapons are the one sure cure.
An ICBM won’t simply scratch it,
Adipose will vanish, disintegrated. 
With no more war, nothing to fight, 
We’ll only have added a novel new shade 
To our great Northern Lights. Won’t that be rad?
Cool?
Hot?
Great?
