Return to Kadath (Free verse) by razorgrin The tarnished Key waits for one who will take it
and feel its heavy silver, cool in their hand.
The forest starves with ruby eyes and chattering calls
waiting for a traveler to drink its moon-tree's brew.
Pickman, the artist, has forgotten the look of a human face
as he gibbers to the ghouls in the tunnels.
The circling night-gaunts have long gone to roost
in some unknown mountain eyrie.
Leng is desolate, its houses are ruins, all the people gone
as if Sarnath's fate had visited the remote plateau.
From Kadath's peak, there is no sound,
no dreamer has dared to return.
Up the ladder:
Her Wildfire Addiction
Down the ladder:
Head and Shoulders

some mountains cast shadows in all directions simultaneously....7/10
earwigs are fucking weird...we should make a line of jewelry using them as models...it could be geigerish...like the necronomicon! we could where gloves and protect ourselfs, then find big ones and mold cast them to pour, we could use all kinds of different metals and gems...what say you razora? how've you been? i'll think us rich soon...yes rich too...soon ...love the line that the pickman goes into...have you read that book "ghouls" (the african variety, or was it middleeastern ah well...scary monster just the same) forget the authors name...it's early 80's late 70's me tinks.....i'll check for you...it's one of thoses hilarious horror stories and stary too...see yeah.
Hey razorgrin! Posting soon? Hadn't read this, actually come to think of it I may have overlooked your poems. Love the word pickman. The 2nd couplet is my favorite, even though "moon-trees brew" seemed awkward, or maybe because.
the eye of sarnath sees all.
aww another zero
Soooo, you're completely out of heckles? I almost feel sorry for you, but then I do for anyone who can be jerked off by a ladybug.
