The Old Ones
Written by: RJ The Cryptid
Read by: The beefiest baby spooky boi the_handy_man9/ 9The HandyMan9 (Now taking commissions, so he can read you spooky stories under the light of a full moon for a reasonable price! **Contacting him is easiest on insta*** )
Listen now
Low is the light that breaks through trees with the setting sun, Dark is the road that winds forever on, Cold is the night that cloaks all in shadow and whispers, Vast is the spirit which in the darkness lingers. Onward we go, blacker than the terrible night, Onward we go, we do not fear the fading light, Onward, onward, they call us from ancient hall and keep, Ever ever onward, in search of where the Old Ones sleep. Dark and low their power thrums, A heartbeat like distant drums, Cold and vast their power speaks, Listen close for what you seek. Low is the light that breaks with the dawn, Dark is the wisdom from the night drawn, Cold is the morning that shines light on what you seek, Vast is the knowledge for those who hear the Old Ones speak.

Without Belief
Written by: RJ The Cryptid
Read by: Odin’s gift to insomniacs and hedonists, the_handy_man9/ 9The HandyMan9 (Now taking commissions, so you can have him read your own angsty poetry for a bargain price! ***Contact him on Instagram***)
Listen now
Do you believe in Love?
Does your heart beat with its poison?
A slow flame that enters at the skin,
Creeping throughout the body by inches,
Destroying all that it finds,
Only to rebuild you in its image.
 Do you believe in Love?
Have you felt its cold embrace?
The glacial stream within your veins,
Crystalizing about your soul,
The long winter you survive,
Having lost so much more than you could ever know.
 Do you believe in Love?
Can your ears remember its melody?
The pianissimo of tender whispered words,
The legato of hot passionate sighs,
Sudden discordant cries before suddenly -!
Empty silence is all the remains.
 Do you believe in Love?
Or do you believe for Love?
Do you tell yourself you burn with it?
Do you imagine that it freezes your bones?
Do you listen for the ghost of a symphony,
Even as you cover your ears?
 Do you believe in Love?
Do you believe in frozen fire?
Do you believe in the silent song?
Do you believe that there could still be hope,
Or has Love stopped believing in us?

Cry
Written by: RJ The Cryptid
Read by: Meine favorit verrückter  <3 the_handy_man9/ 9The HandyMan9 (Now taking commissions, so you can have him be your own private speak and spell at a bargain price! ***Contact him on Instagram***)
Listen now
Why are people so beautiful when they cry?
 Perhaps because when they are broken,
They cannot hide what is beneath.
 The truth of their souls floats to the surface,
And the glistening in their eyes
makes the emotion dancing there
Seem almost iridescent in it’s hot,
White salted lacquer of tears.
 Beauty is in the eyes,
For they are the windows through which
We experience the world.
 Eyes that survey the land,
Eyes that grow wide with fear,
Or joy.
Eyes that cast down,
As soft cheeks grow warm as fire.
 There is life in the eyes,
Tears show that
More clearly than any mirror could
 So do not hide your tears in shame my love,
For their truth sets us free.
 Weep with head held high,
And I will love you when you cry.

Bad Decision
Written by: RJ The Cryptid
Read by: The personification of the way good whiskey feels going down your throat the_handy_man9/ 9The HandyMan9 (Now taking commissions,so you can have him vocally warm your insides for a reasonable price! ***Contact him on Instagram***)
Listen now
Baby, I bet you taste like a bad decision.
Sweet like summer wine,
You’re the flavor I’m missing.
Oh I wish I could taste you,
But time makes me wait;
I’m thirsty for your liquor darling,
I wanna make a mistake.
 Come on sweet thing, its our time to waste,
Open your mind and more for me,
Feel me deep where we both ache,
You look so damn good babe,
Under my hands I won’t let you escape,
So come on over baby,
You’re my bad decision to make.
 Alone in the night, memories I recall,
I can’t stop thinking of you,
Its your name in the night I call.
I want to feel you on my body,
Pulling me in without a fight;
You’ve bewitched me body and soul,
I need you with me tonight.
 Come on sweet thing, its our time to waste,
Don’t lock yourself away love,
Open the latch on heaven’s gate.
You look so damn good babe,
I don’t know how much more I can take.
Come on over to me babe,
You’re my bad decision to make.
 My heart is beating faster,
My hands begin to shake,
There’s nothing to be done now,
It’s already too late.
I lose my breath whenever I see you,
Like a hungry beast I salivate,
My teeth and tongue already on you,
I wanna make a mistake.
 Come on sweet thing, its our time to waste,
Open your mind and more for me,
Feel me deep where we both ache,
You look so damn good babe,
Under my hands I won’t let you escape,
So come on over baby,
You’re my bad decision to make.

Tell Me That You Care
Written by: RJ The Cryptid
Read by: Meine schatzilein freund the_handy_man9/ 9The HandyMan9
(Now taking commissions, so you can have him tell you that he cares for a comfortable price. ***Contact him on Instagram***)
Listen now
It seems so very strange to hear you say it,
Yet I rush to believe every word.
I want to drink it in like warming liquor,
Immerse myself in it from head to toe.
If I could, I would brand it into my skin,
Cut it deep and cherish the wound,
Scrape the scar and pour out hot crimson joy,
The stains of it a memorial to my melancholy.
 Say it again, for I love to hear it,
Scream it, shout it,
Shatter the stagnant stillness of my heart.
Whisper in my ear and sing it sweetly,
Exhale it softly in a sigh.
Never imagine for a moment that I could forget,
But remind me still with each passing moment.
 It pains me like nothing else,
It thrills me to my very core,
Burns like the sun and freezes like winter,
Tears me apart and at last makes me whole.
It is all that I ever wanted to know,
And from now until the end,
It is all that I shall ever remember.

Love to Death
Tumblr media
I wish my heart was smaller,
Or better still, that I didn’t have one at all.
The one I have imprisoned in my chest,
Straining against my ribs and crushing my lungs –
I have no use for such a burden.
 I would rather be cold and cruel,
Empty and ever indifferent.
I would rather be incapable of feeling love,
Than be so full with it that it burns.
 If I could, I would claw it free,
Rip and tear with bloody hands,
Every scrap of the treacherous organ from within…
I would burn it as it has burned me.
 How I hate how much I love,
How cruel to be so full of that capacity,
And yet have no soul with which to share it.
A sweet harvest, upon which I can but choke.
 Oh how I wish I could not love,
And yet without it, what would I be?
Cruel fate has poisoned me with caring,
And I am left to die,
Slowly bleeding this honeyed heart dry.

There In The Dark
Tumblr media
Step by step, my journey goes on,
Step by step by step
And though I may not see my path,
I still will carry on.
 Into the dark I go, I go,
Into the endless night,
What waits for me there,
I will soon know,
Into the dark I go.
 What fear is upon me, away, away,
You hold no more power here,
For though I may stray from the dawn’s cold light
I banish my fear away.
 In waiting arms, I fall, I fall,
Into the embrace of night,
So gentle and kind, it holds me tight,
Into that dark embrace I fall.
 There in the dark, I know only peace,
Deep in the shadows and silence,
My weary soul comforted at last,
There in the deep endless dark.

Hello darlings!
Today I thought I’d share a lovely playlist with you! I have a rather eclectic taste in music, and I tend to listen to music a lot when I write, so here are some songs that I find particularly inspiring. I hope you all enjoy this playlist and maybe they inspire you to write some poetry of your own. Adieu!
