Tapestry of Blood
Warm comfort
Vampire needs
Victim
or
Sacrifice
Art call
Your dark hour
Vampire delight
Sleeping damsel
Distress a bite away
Patchwork
Quilted urgency
Laid to rest

In Fond Rememberce
when death
contacts life
sorrow does fall
little teardrops
forming
emotional rainbows
for those
with close
attachments
it rips
hearts
out chests
in knowing
the coming end
its not any easier
on day of departure
shocking loss
still hits harder
we mourn
celebrate
their passing
sharing memories
that keep
them alive

Lisa Loring
Lisa starred as Wednesday Addams in "The Addams Family".
When I say she was talented, I'm sure that people will agree.
She also starred in "Fantasy Island", "Barnaby Jones" and "As The World Turns".
People are very sad because her life came to an end and she will never return.
She died too young and it's terrible that she's not alive anymore.
After living for over six decades, she died at the age of sixty-four.
Lisa was born in 1958 and she passed away in 2023.
She will be remembered for starring as Wednesday in "The Addams Family".

we will never forget you
we will never forget you,
they say, sometimes while
the blood has not yet
been scrubbed from
the latest atrocity scene
your names will live on forever, they say,
because you are with the angels
or at the right hand of Jesus
or god needed a few more—
anything to assuage the pain,
even as the latest flower shrines
drop wilting blossoms from despair
even as the mass derangement ...

It is Well
The funeral passed as a fog set to Minor D.
My belly enceinte with her progeny
combined with a heart in pieces
sent my essence into auto-pilot
as the ceremony floated by.
The grand procession to the burial grounds
enlivened my dormant soul.
How she would have loved the pomp.
Motorcade police screeched an entire city to a stop
As her remains and those who mourned the whole flew swiftly by.
Inebriation caught from the very wonder and awe I’d inherited from her.
The weeping communion of family at the gravesite was a concert to...

Unwanted Letter to Granddad
With tearful eyes and mournful cries I penned a letter.
He was always there right from the very start,
His precious grandchildren captured his heart,
I can hear your voice talking to me as
your spirit lives on within.
I could never give the amount of credit that is due,
An Incredible Man you were indeed,
May I always conquer strife,
knowing you're here in spirit.
May my problems be solved,
thinking "what would granddad do".
Now every time we speak of you it starts with "remember when".
May we remember all you taught us,...

Dreamt is Dreaming
A Shard of Doubt (the Upside Down)
Right side up, and upside down
I am the sentinel of grief
And yet enshrined in doctor’s crown
I offer fractured minds relief
I have so much in common with
The patients that I daily see
I am the harbinger of woe
And those I love, I life to grieve
Yet still the pain and joy I treat
The disassociation toward
Each loss, vessel of begot relief
I am never called to board
No stimulant nor elixir
Nor psychedelic long may part
My mind from what I have endured ...
Right side up, and upside down

I'm BrOKen
My monsters are real
They don’t hide under my bed
Or linger in my head
They show up in the mirror
Where their image
Is crystal clear, it’s been over
2 years and yet
I still have fear, fear that my
Monsters will one
Day be to great to fight, and
Over take me in
The night, I see your face dad
With ever look
I take, another reminder of my
Past mistakes
How am I suppose to say goodbye
When down
Inside I feel like I died, these monsters
Have a hold of me
This isn’t how it’s suppose to be ...
They don’t hide under my bed
Or linger in my head
They show up in the mirror
Where their image
Is crystal clear, it’s been over
2 years and yet
I still have fear, fear that my
Monsters will one
Day be to great to fight, and
Over take me in
The night, I see your face dad
With ever look
I take, another reminder of my
Past mistakes
How am I suppose to say goodbye
When down
Inside I feel like I died, these monsters
Have a hold of me
This isn’t how it’s suppose to be ...

Reject It
People say Heaven
Like it's suppose to comfort me
They say God needed
Him home, like I didn't need him here
They say, It's all
Part of God's plan, like my plans
Weren't good enough
34 years old and I lost my father
I hide my pain with
A smile, drown my shame in tears
While deep down inside,
My soul is aching while my mind is
Breaking,
you see, when
You say Heaven, I get a clear image
Of a beautiful paradise
Where my dad can walk again, where
My dad is pain free
Because if heaven exist, noone...
Like it's suppose to comfort me
They say God needed
Him home, like I didn't need him here
They say, It's all
Part of God's plan, like my plans
Weren't good enough
34 years old and I lost my father
I hide my pain with
A smile, drown my shame in tears
While deep down inside,
My soul is aching while my mind is
Breaking,

You say Heaven, I get a clear image
Of a beautiful paradise
Where my dad can walk again, where
My dad is pain free

SYMPHONIYA DE TOSKA BOOK ONE: PREVIEW "IT'S ALL OVER."
It's All Over."
Where the sun dies,
The shadow of silence cries
On the wind where petals flutter
As we face each other
On the blossoms that grow
In the vision of the snow
Where the aurora of your eyes
Never dims and never dies.
It’s all over. It’s all over.
The pain is over.
In the underworld so cold,
We never will grow old.
Our passage will seem,
Like nothing but a dream.
We are falling leaves
In this desert of garden trees—
Our breath entwined in the sand
While we sleep here, hand in...
Where the sun dies,
The shadow of silence cries
On the wind where petals flutter
As we face each other
On the blossoms that grow
In the vision of the snow
Where the aurora of your eyes
Never dims and never dies.
It’s all over. It’s all over.
The pain is over.
In the underworld so cold,
We never will grow old.
Our passage will seem,
Like nothing but a dream.
We are falling leaves
In this desert of garden trees—
Our breath entwined in the sand
While we sleep here, hand in...

Just Heard That Lisa Marie Died
I just heard that the
King of Rock and Roll's daughter
whose name happens to
be Lisa Marie Presley
died from cardiac arrest.
I bet that Elvis
is in his grave wondering
who would be able
to inherit Graceland
from Lisa Marie's demise.
Personally, I
doubt that her mother would be
the one for the job.
So, it might as well be the
one kid named Riley Keough.
It's either her or
one of the kids she had with
Michael Jackson or
Nicolas Cage or this one
guy who's named Michael Lockwood.

Dear NK
I recall the first moment we met
Your tiny form a blur of motion
Your heartbeat a reminder of the impermanence of life
Your scent, a unique blend of joy and wonder
Filled me with a sense of purpose and love
I vowed to do all that I could to support and nurture you
But now, as we say goodbye
Both of us in the icy grip of death
My heart aches with grief and remorse
I would do anything to change the past
Your body, now still and pale
But your spirit a bright flame that will never be extinguished
You are forever etched...
Your tiny form a blur of motion
Your heartbeat a reminder of the impermanence of life
Your scent, a unique blend of joy and wonder
Filled me with a sense of purpose and love
I vowed to do all that I could to support and nurture you
But now, as we say goodbye
Both of us in the icy grip of death
My heart aches with grief and remorse
I would do anything to change the past
Your body, now still and pale
But your spirit a bright flame that will never be extinguished
You are forever etched...
