Sea Witches Cove

Aboard a worn and ragged ship alone I sat as looming death
gripped every moment of my slowly fading life
A captain lost at sea, a crew of starving men who longed to
be among their friends and family as certain doom drew nigh
Then through the swirling, black abyss a distant figure
formed among the mist, a merchant ship, it's sails like the
wings of angels flowed
But our senses had long withered and desperation like
a serpent slithered round my heart, I raised my voice
and screamed a harrowing command.
The captain gave orders to attack
the merchant ship's cannons fired back
down down, the ship and crew did go
into the dark and murky depths below
The cannon fire like raging thunder struck the hull and
tore the boards asunder, from the deck I fell into a deep
and murky hell
I couldn't swim for code forbade
but a plank by chance my way did wade
I grasped it tight and watched in horror
the sinking of my ship "Lenore"
Then from below the waves,
a pair of green eyes caught my gaze,
like brilliant pearls amidst a sea of golden
curls they gleamed.
The figure now before me, a maiden of unrivaled beauty
kissed my cracked lips and whispered "I can show
you things you've never dreamed."
The captain he closed his weary eyes
awaiting his cold and cruel demise
sleep took him and he was washed ashore
on a land that he'd never seen before
When consciousness returned to me I found myself alone
on what appeared to be a desert island's calm and sandy beach
but far inland a city rose up high, it's spiral towers
reaching to the sky, it's structures dreamlike in their
strange design.
and then I knew it well, the maiden from the sea
did surely dwell within that city's timeless walls
and otherworldly halls of eldritch lore
Indeed I found her there among a coven
each as fair who spoke to me these chilling words that damned
my soul forever more.
Dear captain your life it at it's end
your spirit, it never shall ascend
for all of time here with us you'll dwell
in our city that mortal men call Hell.

Insane Crazy and In Love

I'm insane, I'm crazy and in love with you.
I'm completely insane, I've got an abnormal brain.
I should be in a ward or even in jail.
I make movies in my mind, but I'm colour blind,
So they're all black and white, you're in my movie tonight.
Come meet my momma, and my sister Sue.
They're down in the graveyard, they can't wait to meet you.
When I told them 'bout us, they rolled around.
I could hear them screaming, from under the ground.
I don't have much money, but I'm kinda funny.
I eat biscuits in bed, with lots of honey.
I like to cook and clean, and I'm not mean.
I'll let you have the bigger slice of my belly button fluff pie.
My name is Bob and Catherine too,
All my multi-personalities are in love with you.
The other kids didn't like me, and they made me cry,
But you're gonna love me, till the day you die.
