Is Krampus visiting you this Christmas?

  Krampus speaks from the Great In-Between. 

Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read. 

Salute. 


Love and loneliness 


Unspoken kept secret daydreams of romance

True love and broken hearts 

Shall have no reunion 


But instead

Like fettered beasts to the emotional slaughter-house


They will stare foolishly into the distance 


As they are abandoned after being beautifully viscerally persecuted


Pleading for hope in the low hours and a new loving companion 


For deaden souls deserve no salvation

Such is my curse of the Dammed 


Running or walking throughout every living nation 

 

Men or women

Especially more so at Christmas


Swimming half-naked in pools of hate and self-judgement 


Shall become as one


As they hear my approaching black and green bells


Under the watchful gaze of my cosmic gun


Love and loneliness

Sadness and pain


Will be their everlasting daylight

In their soul's window panes as it yells


My silver mistress 

Mother Moon


Will seal their fate 

On the first strike of the twenty-fifth 


When are presents are sent out to be received


So to the spiteful and jealous


The hateful and cruel 

Who love to deceive


You better pray to change your ways 

Before Christmas Eve 


Or I'll be visiting 


Handing out dark presents to make your heartache

When pure jealousy and  pain interweave


With no hope of love or any reprieve
