in the garden, in the nighttime
(formerly 'slipping away in the garden in the nighttime', with Old English, Dutch, and Germanic influence)
the leaves play their roles
they change colors, giving shade,
raindrops—welled up tears
The Sleeping Village
Night time.
The moon appears, faint in the distance.
Darkness has settled,
Heavy like a blanket.
It is cold outside, a sliver of winter.
Warm inside.
Heat comes from a sturdy stove;
A fragrance of home,
A reassuring lull,
The promise of morning.
The village sleeps.
Winter Night
Night falls,
The sky dark and silent,
The moon in the distant,
A crescent barely visible.
The temperature drops,
A freeze that hovers,
Tormenting, merciless cold.
Winter.
Deep In The Forest
Deep in the forest.
A coat of snow.
An outline of sun,
Peeping through branches.
Zero temperature.
Static stillness.
A wooden hut,
Surrounded by snow.
Shelter.
The Winter Poem
Winter, the longest season of all.
Deceptive sunlight.
A hint of frost.
Snow may fall sooner or later.
The evenings continue to draw in early.
Dawn is delayed.
The winter stillness lingers
Raw and deep and icy cold.
Satanalia LIII
Season Lucifer
pon the longest night of The Year, we celebrate in darkness, and all therein, as hellfires burn to warm the flesh into salacious indulgence, yielding to temptation and feasting with delight, the pleasures of the earth lain forth for you, The Devil's Legions, the harvests of The Seasons in Hell, and before Satan's myriad manifestations, reflected in the shadow speculum and projected by the Demon Eye, visions of what was and is to be again, emerge from The Mind's Abyss, & vast subterranean cavernous lairs.
The Season is Lucifer! Lend us Thine Infernalight!
Upon this High Unholyday, the apex of Satanalia, 'neath a Full Moon & Meteor shower coursing, The Lucifer star glows with infernalight in the Eastern Sky, pointing the way to The Gates which shall be opened! Daemon Brother Krampus has come forth! Within the Void of deepest nocturne, bring forth the sacrifices to blaze on through the night! ∞

Winter Solstice LIII
* RITE: HELLEMENTAL MASS
Satanalia LII
With the opening of The Gate, Hell has come to earth
Blackened 'neath the Krampus flames, He has emerged
Glorious by Draegon wings resplendant
For by the Hellmouth of The Draegon the land was made The Abyss
Allowing the Winter Daemon to emerge through the portal upon this very night
Invocation bringing forth and taking form
The Draegon's wings did fan the flames to spread His Hellement forth
For by the call of many minds & by directive force, The Shadowmancer brought him forth, & so The Spell was done
As the black lion travels forth upon the earth to and fro, devouring whom He may
As every sacrifice inspires further strength & might
May the Hellfires burn! May the Demon winds flow fierce!
And by the sign delivered & possessed, the manifestation transpired again and again!
Omens alight the nyte sky with dread visions manifest
Satanas arises high to call forth His Witches' best
Macabra! Mystique! Pandora! Synthea! Dementia! Arius! Sinistra sublime!
On leathern wings to ride The Beast, unleash The Draegon's Eye!
Sup The Chalice, Thorn & Vine, Pitchfork scepter in cleft & thigh!

Satanalia Winter Solstice LII
Frost
Frost lies on my windowsill
From winter's frozen rain
Makes waking up now just too hard
And looking out a pain
Because inside is nice and warm
With coffee or coco
Perhaps I'll just go back to sleep
And dream about the snow.
Beneath Krampusnacht Moon
Hellfires burn... The scent of flesh
Wailing on the demonwinds
The beatings of Abyssal skins
Echoing of bones
Blood upon the bramble thorns
Trailing to the foggy Pit
The bells are rung...
Chains echo from below
Krampus Demon, Winter Devil
Eyes aglow in the dark
Outside your window haunt
Prepare the sacrifices
The saintly one denies
Hellmouth opens wide
Into The Cauldron, Feast of Beast
Offering complete
Beneath Krampusnacht Moon
Hills of fire, build the pyre
Bodies on the spikes
Dread shadows arise
Cloven hooves arrive
Upon Krampus night
Unholy procession
Through the snow and flames
Calling to your name
Pentagram of blackened coal
Brimstone, sulfur soul...
Inferno rejoice tonight
A nubile harvest of plight
Devoured and enslaved
Beware those phantoms in the shadows
Branded with The Devil's mark
A lesson learned of fear and dread
Or never to be seen again
Beneath The Krampus Moon
