Bela.

As once he was the undead Count
 
Now Bela sleeps the endless sleep
 
Cloaked in a cape, ne'er to surmount
 
Dark secrets of the grave, he keeps
 
 
 
'Neath California's Holy Cross
 
Bereft now in his deathly bloom
 
Time's rotting flowers all strewn across
 
With pure brides filing past his tomb
 
 
 
Must methadone have killed his art?
 
"The Final Curtain", still unread!
 
Beloved father, broken, bloody hearts
 
An eternity he'll be, "Undead"
