Old proclivities breathing into old predilections Removing the shadows of aching heart Old habits forming back like wicked infections Haunted heads breeding hate in part Holding onto harrowing hills that dwell within my dreams You will never find yourself in among the few. Holding Hope is having heartache dressing up your schemes If you never build upon it into something new Dealing with shadowed recesses - lost in my reverie I had a father once - sisters many - a daughter and my sons These is my lost Lenore dancing in misery This is the consolation - prize my heart has won Sorrows many and fear so deep That steals me away Plaguing all I ever loved Taking my peace to keep And a nod to my "dad" That I never really had - Is all I ever loved - A mere dream within a dream?

Homage to A Dad
DANASH MARX KRAFTSMAN III The Knight, She calls me – The Nightingale, She calls Us. The Raven - It causes me – To Cry out – Evermore! Oh My Lost Love – Are you lost to me - Evermore Taken - No Whisked away - to settle a score Beneath the only honest moon Harvest Red, a child gone too soon Rachel cries out in the streets Echoing reminders of little feet Running on my kitchen floor This – My heart – MY lost Lenore My pain Evermore Thus – My heart – Shattered Perhaps on some far plutonian shore Where the raven’s beak – kisses Me soft, Like a tapping or a rapping – upon my door. Or a window lattice The only sound- Evermore! You my father – Poetry A muse forever dark. Melody - My mother Lit an eternal Spark David with his Laments And Solomon with his Keys Everything I ever wanted Was to please – THEE. Therefore- ever-more Father, Son, and Breath of Life, Spirit - Holy - That soothes my mind run rife The Father, Jehovah, Yaweh, Alpha and Omega - Thank you - You tell me of my life and heart You keep me from falling completely apart Jesus Christ, My Lord and Savior Keeps me out of mortal danger He holds me close by His side whenever I feel the need to hide Evermore.

I close my eyes to nothing A dreary darkness holds me until I find myself falling into the distance beneath Falling into the chasms of broken hopes and dreams Falling into nowhere Until I have lost touch with reality Until my whereabouts are disconnected Torn into shreds of existence, where no one may locate them again Until I feel that I stop Stop in the middle still floating into the inky black of the chasms that endeth not Stopped at the very fabric of a world we live in Completely stopped Until I see shapes Iridescent triangle and out of these mere triangles more come out Until they become kite shaped Of the deepest hues of black and white Circling me surrounding me Suffocating me Until they then knock some common sense into me I float there and realize Like a stationary doll that has unwinded its troubles into the owner Like hamster that lay there defenseless from the predator Useless in all realization It is then and only then, I find myself what fear really is It is simple You are not scared of the dark nor of creepy white being that haunt our lives named ghosts No, you are not You are scared of the moment when you realize your fear is there Living with you, breathing with you Yes, the moment you realize That is what you truly fear That is what I happen so to realize in that very moment As I lay there floating Floating in a world of white and black diamonds Circling you, surrounding you Suffocating you Realization lies there waiting for your presence It lies there stealthily Biding time as it is I soon find myself regaining simple cultures of the past that had been taught to me Began to sit upright, folding my hands in my lap Staring into the face of precisely what fear accommodates The thing that has been established by many But many have gone insane after addressing the true fact of the existence of fear Though I am not here to tell you the sorrowful tales of such I am not here to recite the journeys of others And of those did not go insane at the thought of such revelations Stand tall in front of it But they cannot hide it forever Until they cower back, seemingly shrinking in size Because no one lives without fear Therefore no one lives without realization Therefore no one lives while glaring realization in the eye Not because of ****** that they cease to live Realization itself does not admit to killing these innocent beings No, they **** themselves They realize their dangerous feat and therefore cannot bear the realization They have always been frightened of realization But to realize that one is challenging it Is the fate of the brave ‘Tis not why here I am Telling you this tale of valor and possible stupidity Alas, I’ve strayed off the point Distracted in perils before us, any of us in fact As I fixated my eyes on the perfect form of realization I seem to realize what others perished to They also could have died by the next processes as your brain begins to comprehend Questions that is Many, many, many, oh so many questions Popping into your noggin Or perhaps your heart l bet l could find them in your stomach Everywhere and anywhere, not just your usual questions But they were different Very, very different Not slightly different because l can’t tell if l have made this clear enough But they are very different Is this really real, or is it an optical illusion? Am l living in a hallucination? Could everything be a figment of my imagination? Are people really there, or am l mentally ill? Do I really see things, or could l be imagining them as if l am blind?

An Optical Illusion
I close my eyes to nothing A dreary darkness holds me until I find myself falling into the distance beneath Falling into the chasms of broken hopes and dreams Falling into nowhere Until I have lost touch with reality Until my whereabouts are disconnected Torn into shreds of existence, where no one may locate them again Until I feel that I stop Stop in the middle still floating into the inky black of the chasms that endeth not Stopped at the very fabric of a world we live in Completely stopped Until I see shapes Iridescent triangle and out of these mere triangles more come out Until they become kite shaped Of the deepest hues of black and white Circling me surrounding me Suffocating me Until they then knock some common sense into me I float there and realize Like a stationary doll that has unwinded its troubles into the owner Like hamster that lay there defenseless from the predator Useless in all realization It is then and only then, I find myself what fear really is It is simple You are not scared of the dark nor of creepy white being that haunt our lives named ghosts No, you are not You are scared of the moment when you realize your fear is there Living with you, breathing with you Yes, the moment you realize That is what you truly fear That is what I happen so to realize in that very moment As I lay there floating Floating in a world of white and black diamonds Circling you, surrounding you Suffocating you Realization lies there waiting for your presence It lies there stealthily Biding time as it is I soon find myself regaining simple cultures of the past that had been taught to me Began to sit upright, folding my hands in my lap Staring into the face of precisely what fear accommodates The thing that has been established by many But many have gone insane after addressing the true fact of the existence of fear Though I am not here to tell you the sorrowful tales of such I am not here to recite the journeys of others And of those did not go insane at the thought of such revelations Stand tall in front of it But they cannot hide it forever Until they cower back, seemingly shrinking in size Because no one lives without fear Therefore no one lives without realization Therefore no one lives while glaring realization in the eye Not because of ****** that they cease to live Realization itself does not admit to killing these innocent beings No, they **** themselves They realize their dangerous feat and therefore cannot bear the realization They have always been frightened of realization But to realize that one is challenging it Is the fate of the brave ‘Tis not why here I am Telling you this tale of valor and possible stupidity Alas, I’ve strayed off the point Distracted in perils before us, any of us in fact As I fixated my eyes on the perfect form of realization I seem to realize what others perished to They also could have died by the next processes as your brain begins to comprehend Questions that is Many, many, many, oh so many questions Popping into your noggin Or perhaps your heart l bet l could find them in your stomach Everywhere and anywhere, not just your usual questions But they were different Very, very different Not slightly different because l can’t tell if l have made this clear enough But they are very different Is this really real, or is it an optical illusion?

On these pages: a story writ. Not lines of love, near opposite. With wicked words, bursting seams. and pictures ripped from horror scenes. This transcript: tallied tragedy seemed clear, at first, of trickery such that I said, with full belief: “I simply bought a book, simply bought a simple book bought a simple book this early morn.” Nary a choice did I resent more than my steps up staircase bent. Had I known what fate was in store, I would’ve stopped short of the door and listened to my heart’s retort turn my back to oaken boards; neglect to knock, proceed no more. Alas, the wiser choice did seem like foreign words I could not read a weaker foe to curiosity. Thus on the door, my knocks numbered three. On portal’s edge, the wait did seem a lifetime spent, eternity. Heard racing heart, mistakening its pounding pulse for echoed feet. A lock’s release, my wait was for; an unlatched, oaken, ornate door. As portal opened to the store, of echoed feet, I thought no more. Creaking hinges, a'rust with age made way for shopkeep's leathered face. His cobwebbed volumes filled the space and gave the air a smell and taste. My steps were slow; I didn’t know what book, which nook, my search was for. So I walked the aisles, for a while. ‘Till a hidden book stood out A hidden nook stood out A hidden book’s nook stood out. Into that nook, up to that book my outstretched arms raised hands that shook. But now I see that I was blind to evil glint in shop-keep's eye, and how my steps had crossed the line, but like a fool who pays no mind, I gripped book's spine, as chill gripped mine. Alas, Where once I felt so free that “simple” book imprisoned me! Looking back, it's plain to see: Text locked the door, and tossed the keys. On portal’s edge, I sat a spell, For front my eyes, world turned to hell. Clocktower bells rang out death knells, Mixed metaphor with sulphured smells. A lock released, an op'ning door; Followed by sounds I can't ignore As I walked home amid the storm, of echoed feet, I thought once more. What harkened there, shadowed so? It made no noise; I didn't know. and so my steps fell soft as snow, heard silence then, and nothing more. Was it the shopkeep, hidden there? In darkness deep, 'thought saw his glare and so I turned, searching, scared. Nought, I saw, in darkness there Nought, eyes spied, no shadows spared. Nought, my cry left my fear bared: "I face you now, as friend or foe! Why you hide yours, I do not know." So still, the shadow stayed its frame.. As if it played a hidden game. Its outline froze; it seemed so strange, Besot', I sought the shadow’s name but to my ears came only rain. Alas, light passed, lit up the space where I expected a strange face, but to my shock, in revealed place was only water, reflecting face On puddle’s edge, I searched the grass, only found water, still as glass Just as I thought, "This fog won't pass," my clouded mind came clear at last. A calming breeze cleared my mind's haze. To self, I said, "If blindly brave... I'll sell tomorrow to yesterday, risk retrospect of future fate." Thus I thought a tale would end, The book, or life? I can't portend. Post-curse, I'm worse for wear, my friend! Now words alone don’t serve to mend. I turned a page into the book, and as before, my hands, they shook, The leaves were blank! Was I mistook? No words were writ, the pages, bare. No words to read, no lines to share. No words to see, then one appeared! A balked belief, before my eyes That ghost-writ word was leading lines! and so I read, still scanning script 'scarce skipping stanzas, none I missed. I turned more pages, teeth a’grit... Falt’ring, failing to feel my fits. I couldn’t stop; cease reading it Alas, time passed, still keeping speed words filled white pages, enrapt I read How does this work? What’s it all mean? Why was the cursive cursing me? On pages’ end, the words did seem a lifetime writ, for all to read Right from the start, text taunted me divined a doom, a destiny Its pox perceived, print paper flat I begged the book to take it back "Who’s words were those? Who’s fate is that? Who’s life and death, in white and black?" Delving deeper desperately For I felt my future had passed, you see Living life so longingly Fearing fated folly, unfortunately. As I read the book, I took My final form, ‘spite balance shook. Lapse living lie; won’t die a crook! I blinked, unlinked, to weaker chain I shrinked, to think, of lesser gain I winked, on brinks, but not insane So now, my friend, I’ll pen some prose Dream up new lines; make up new words Where once I thought that what was writ’ The rise and fall, all of it Could not be altered, not one bit. As if in stone, the letters sit! Lines laying law, commanding it! But now I face what fate comes forth Leaving letters forming words with worth My written rhymes give gallant girth They sing a ballad; but say one verse. I put down past, but faced it first In breaking down, I found what works I fixed my fate, and shed the curse, Better for me, but for you, much worse. The book, this poem share a name. I thought that fact would make it plain These wicked words hid horrid hex now you can’t flee, for you are next!

In the garden stir the flowers That whisper through the trees A subtle hint of fragrance fading on the breeze Ripples over pebbles Gentle rushing of the stream Is the smile in cool reflection That of you or Angeline? In the binding choking clinging **** Which stops the waters flow Do you find her auburn tresses And that face as white as snow Does she walk beside you? Like she did so long ago It was you that drowned her So only you would know!

I couldn’t reciprocate what my heart has been humming — “I have been waiting for you my entire life” For I am tired and at a discontent. Seeking solace only from knowing that we are special and just apart, But it catches on my throat like cotton, And I know you’d be frightened. As terrified as Poe to when he trembles over the rapping, rapping sound from the raven. Murmuring: “darkness there and nothing more”

Sad story of Mr. Cambacérès
Watching the silver shine From your eyes divine We had it all seen When we were seventeen Those days are gone In the days the stars shone For I am lost in the night Without your light With love's debt paid I've been there before Throught the Raven  words are said It will be nevermore

Poe's lament
From the dead ravens sorrow Ran the poor mother Just a small sparrow No more together The dead shall rise And we will be once more The difference in size Will be no more The mother cry’s The raven caws The sparrow dies Locked in a crocs jaws The mirror I stare in Before me now I bare my sin Bare, upon my brow I see a raven stand behind Cloaked in darkness I am no more

The dead raven came that day
the rain of pain fell down again i feel the same out in the lane sent from a place safe to a place unknown unknown i am to myself who am i where am i i feel unknown and all alone the raindrops have their friends, not alone in their despair i am but a lonely rainbow. alone but glorious

there is a vastness here where a small breeze, the size of a decaying sorrow wakes the cold again which may be all that’s left of me. where a diamond pale haze of stars goes on eternal like sound that has found a final silent shape on a black sky where it means everything It cannot speak off. it’s empty out here, and cold. cold enough to reconcile the frozen cries, the kidnapped voices and the silences that move with certain cadaveric contractions along the frozen emptiness and In the morning when I look out the previous evening remains in its blank, cold, unforgiveness even though I sang for them in the eternal extensiveness of the freezing cold, the stones still cry with mouths opened wide while the small icy wind and unsympathetic moon subdue the apricot flowers, Now the piercing cold day Is no longer enough For all comprehension escapes me suddenly jumps with fury hurling terrible hostilities to the sky, as wandering ice spirits without homeland begin to groan with a vast and vacant voice. And frozen hearses, with muffled drums and tragic music, slowly pass in my being conquered, weeping, freezing this atrocious iced and despotic place plants its black flag in my soul Now I do confess through boreal breath I don’t think I will ever see the Red Tulips again

the red tulips...
In the desperate times I hear it call my name No, not again please spare me The horrible, haunting horrors Like a leech, draining me leaving me with despair Who is he or she that calls my name I dare not say, for it haunts me Lurking in the depths of mind, oh how awful I could live my life forever in glee, but when the light fades I’d rather die Oh God please have mercy, I beg and plead It begins to attach to me To my mind sinking to my heart spreading to my limbs Im hopeless, how can i get rid of this burden Antagonizing, the pain is physical you can see it in my eyes Listen carefully making no mistake and you can hear it in my voice The darkness leers leaving me with tears of sadness I wouldn't dare wish for it on any innocent soul For let it devour me after all I must deserve it For it is a monster that I have created and it only seeks for me

The monster that only seeks me
I long to write Beautiful things Like Shakespeare And elegant ballgowns Something with more meaning Then simply feeling down I long to write Of romeo and Juliet Symbolic and deeper then most see Oh thou arent very good with writing I long to write Like egar allen poe Or any inspiration i claim to love But instead i write of the dead things That roam through my mind stirring Pound pound pounding My mind is constantly aching She's but a young child Cry cry crying For attention she seeks but it keeps dying Plays and music will not be wrote Of the things i write For they are not artistic They are but a jumbled mess Never knowing where to place Each Line or Stanza Now I'm rambling On and on and on She goes sad and chaotic Whispering obscenities And screaming repetitive words and pleas I adore the poems and songs That at face value seem Like they are about love for another When truly they ring about darkness Oh sweet child Your love keeps thy so warm But it's breaking into a storm I watch you try to sleep Why do you weep? Dost thou not realize thy beauty? Stab thy heart into shreds For i cannot breath without the But i cannot smile when thy fills my blood with led Sweet little girl You have made no sense Get on your knees and repent For you will never be Somebody

Lenore
I hope you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me Cried the bleeding man in his last breath He voided his bowels The rigor mortis kicking in And thus began his journey of death The funeral was closed casket There wasn’t much left to show A poem recited The priest going on “Darkness there and nothing more” The years went by, the man’s legacy forgotten And so did the memories that once seemed so sweet That’s how it goes In this dark twisted world Please stay tuned for some more Sesame Street

The Bleeding Man
I've never been great at poetry; The process always fails for me. While mister Poe and Shakespeare last, My writing ends up in the trash. Their writing style, lost with age, Their wisdom hid in ev'ry page, The glory given where it's due - These are things I cannot do. My writing's forced; theirs doth flow. I say it blunt; they say it slow. Those areas that bless and move Are places where I can't improve. So why, with my lack of skill, Do I keep on writing still? With such a hopeless case as this, You'd think I would already quit! There was a time when I did - My desk was shut; my pen was hid. Then something occurred to me Which changed it all instantly. If Dr. Seuss had Shakespeare tried, And Mr. Poe glorified, And given up in dismay, We wouldn't have his books today. So keep on writing how you do With that style unique to you. Put your mind into use (You just might be another Seuss)!

Another Seuss
I’ve loved your *** since the 11th grade. There were a few years when we went our separate ways, in due time we both knew we should of stayed.. Our lives were in ******* shambles.. Each passing day I would gamble, I’d hope, I’d pray.. Maybe I’ll see him this time, *** would I even say?? Hey love, I’ve missed you... Still remember the day when I first kissed you. I remember 9/11 was a day of much conflict and disarray But in Reseda, California, we put the egos, pride and ******** at bay.. Shared our dreams, we talked about life, what it’s like without each other and what it all means.. there’s a fine line between love and hate. there’s no madness without love. I don’t really believe in fate. When it comes to matters of the heart there ain’t much you can say It’s ok, I wouldn’t have it any other way.. cause you’re my man crush everyday

Edgar Allen ***
Revolted fading decay Did pursuade, Like blood on the shore, To write with the blackness of my heart And with hope nevermore The black ink blooms on paperback, With the heart that spurts its veins Accross the page Growing into its darkness and pains The white fading, drimpel, dubbed unpailing With the words posing as potent but poison Possesed in perfect form of pretence... The Words so falsly true... The words bleeding out, "I love you"

Black Blood
Dead, the day before yesterday. Grieved by it, personally, Reputation: few or no friends Suggested art - lost its erratic stars A dreamer! Dwelling in ideal realms                           -the brain- Madness Melancholy Indistinct curses with eyes upturned, already ****** Happiness wit hglances introverted, shrouded in gloom, arms wildly beating spirits - sought to forget close by, those glimpses open to the doom of death

1849
Burning―a hot blaze In the manner of fire. Flickering in the form Of ignited passion, It dwindles in the Morning sky. I admire the beauty From afar, for if I gazed Straight ahead into the Magnificent light, My sight shall be No more. Wandering, my thoughts Haunted me day And night. What if the light was No more And the world lived In eternal darkness? Who would be to save Our beloved Skies from going Utterly blank? There must be a savior; Someone with power And courage willing To set fire to the Sun to Save our souls from Flickering away With the Winds of time.

Setting Fire To the Sun
There came a love of truest and fair, In a town I came to know, A girl my heart she did bear With a love that filled my soul; To her, I would give my life Without a single doubt be told. She sat gracefully upon a lonely bench In this town I came to know, I adored her more than life itself As her beauty lit a-glow; And her essence came from a heavenly place As she laced her grace of snow. Her beauty spreads across the skies, In this town I came to know, Spreading love about her goes, To nurture my love and grow; So that the abundance of my burning passion Can murmur and run, just as the rivers flow; And to an end my dream will come In this town I’ve come to know. Her raging light, blazing bright, Lit my heart a-glow, For its power completes the monarchy In this town I came to know, And binges across the galaxies, spreading love, To and fro. I call to her spirit beckoning songs, For my love to her I must show, And my passion I must show, Before my dream is just a dream And my soul sinks below; She is the dream of love I dream In this town I came to know. She too knows of me and the love inside that grows, In this town I’ve come to know, The sun never settles caressing the red rose peddles, In this town I’ve come to know, The birds will chirp a sounding song of mirth, To the heavens above till love gives birth To a love packed passion as all men know The love that was found In the town I came to know.
