• Phantom Cars and Hell Hounds of Route 666
    Jan 23 2026
    Dust on the dash
    Mouth tastes like metal and ash
    Motel key on a plastic ring
    Keeps humming the strangest things

    Billboard grins with a broken smile
    Says “One more mile One more mile”
    Sky bends down
    Whispers in my ear
    “End of the map starts here”

    Down on Route 666
    The road bends back and the clocks play tricks
    Rearview shows what the daylight missed
    Kiss of the void
    Gasoline on my lips

    I took a wrong turn into nothing
    Now nothing won’t let me quit
    On Route 666

  • Velvet Protocol 03 - The Ghostly Touch
    Jan 15 2026
    That’s the danger of ghostly touchings: they don’t bruise the skin, but they can ruin your self-control in minutes.
    So listen.
    Let’s do it properly.
    No fantasy. No strain. No reaching so hard you tear yourself.
    Just concentration.
    Just that exquisite discipline that makes tenderness possible across distance.

    Let's walk through the walls of this world
    On the dark side of the moon
    I know what I wanna do
    So meet me at midnight
    Ethereal erotic
    Do you wanna make love to a ghost?

    Script by Lisa Lomé. Voices and music: Suno.

  • I Just Recently Saw the Field Where I Died
    Jan 2 2026
    Dust road humming, towers like worn teeth,
    Boot prints tangle in the whispering wheat.
    Found a black coin sleeping in the dirt,
    Sky like a shoebox photo, yellowed and blurred.
    Camera stutters—world double-exposed,
    A latch in my ribs lifts, clicks, and holds.

    I’m not a ghost—I’m twice alive,
    I came to take back what I left behind.
    The quiet sets a chair, pours water wide;
    I step through the silence like an open sign.

    I just recently saw the Field Where I Died,
    and the wind spelled out my name in dust.
    I walked away with my shadow untied,
    heart like a war drum—boom, boom, trust.
    Not here to haunt—here to reclaim;
    I took my breath back, I took my name.

    Monoliths leaning like old cathedrals,
    Grass hisses secrets in rattles and needles.
    Somewhere a friend called my name years away,
    Measuring stick in a thunderless day.
    The dog of the field gave a tired little sigh—
    Even the stones seemed to nod, “All right.”

    I’m not a wound; I’m the healed black line,
    Stitched by the sun and a patient time.
    The past unlatches, swings open wide;
    I step through the doorway I once denied.

    A coin. A torn photo.
    A broken watch. A matchbook.
    A note with a shaky scrawl.
    I leave them on the gate for the next to find—
    I was buried here once… I’m not buried at all.

    I just recently saw the Field Where I Died,
    and the wind spelled out my name in dust.
    I walked away with my shadow untied,
    heart like a war drum—boom, boom, trust.
    Not here to haunt—here to reclaim;
    I took my breath back—
    I took my name.

    Light leaks—yellow, pink, violet—fade,
    Rearview towers shrink into a single blade.
    I drive with the window down, unafraid,
    The latch in my chest still open, still brave.

  • Velvet Protocol 02 - Dreamed I Was Marrying a Stranger
    Jan 2 2026
    I don’t usually confess to dreams.

    Not the ordinary ones—running late, teeth crumbling, doors that won’t open. I mean the other kind: the dreams that wake you up like a hand closing gently around your throat, not to choke, but to claim your attention. The kind that leave heat in your mouth and a question mark between your thighs and the terrible certainty that something has already happened… just not yet...

    So here it is... Protocol Velvet, rule one: Speak it true:

    "I dreamed I was marrying a stranger."

    And before you interrupt—yes, I know how it sounds. That sentence wears a veil made of clichés. But this wasn’t a wedding the way people mean it in daylight.

    There were no polite flowers. No sweet speeches. No bright, harmless music.

    It was dark, the way velvet is dark...

  • Velvet Protocol 01 - Visible Venus
    Dec 31 2025
    Me, visible in my window, posing where the sun sets, as Venus...

    That’s the spell, isn’t it? A small, shameless myth written in light.

    Delight.

    I don’t look directly at you at first. I let you have the safety of distance, the sweet cruelty of not being caught. I rest my hands on the sill and arch just slightly, as if I’m only stretching, as if I’m only a woman alone with her thoughts—but my thoughts are you.

    The fabric I wear is thin. It clings, then slips, then clings again. It behaves like a lover that can’t decide whether to tease or surrender.

    You watch the curve of my back. The line of my waist. The quiet way I shift my hips, as though I’m learning my own body for the first time...

  • While Flying Through the Bermuda Triangle, You Can Spoil the Magic!
    Dec 23 2025
    Dear Listener,

    It began with an ordinary table. Dinner set, glasses faintly shining, wine breathing in its jug. A chair slightly pulled back, waiting for someone who never arrived—or perhaps someone had just slipped away.
    Then came the hinge. Not the front door. Not the cupboard. Somewhere else.
    The wall above the table rippled, thinned, and folded open. Where plaster had been, there now stood a window, opening onto no garden, no street, no world we know.
    Through it leaned a figure carved from marble and myth, yet terribly alive...

    If this message reaches you, know that I am still waiting here at the threshold, listening.

    Wish you were here with me,
    The Gatekeeper
