The Demon of Whitechapel
Part 1: Blood and Unrest
Inspector Tom Grassford leaned over the cluttered table, poring over the latest reports from the Whitechapel district. The incessant rain tapped against the windowpanes of their shabby office, while Inspector Alfred Sharp sat across from him, his expression equally grim.
"The Ripper continues his ghastly spree," Grassford muttered, pushing a strand of his damp, graying hair away from his brow. "Another poor woman, Alfred. God help us all."
Sharp nodded, his face a portrait of concern. "The...

Whispers
In the early morning
I can hear a small whispering voice
That's not my own
I don't know where it's coming from
Everything is normal except for the whisper
All day long it's fine
About 4 hours till night fall
It starts to get dark the a strange fog
Caring that whispering voice I hear
With each second passing
I feel a cold wind blowing ever so lightly and
the fog coming closer I hear whispers and screams
I shiver but not the good kind of shivers
A shiver that tells me to run
I'm frozen still
The fog is almost at my...

The Final Ember
In a dim and somber chamber, there sat a man of weary conscience. His study was a tapestry of ancient tomes and forgotten lore, casting spectral shadows upon the wainscoted walls. With trembling hands, he clutched a volume bound in tattered leather, and his thoughts, like ravens, circled darkly over his past deeds.
The fireplace, a source of feeble illumination, flickered and struggled to maintain its warmth. As his conscience gnawed at him, the fire in the hearth began to dance with fervor, its flames casting a macabre glow upon the room. Shadows twisted and writhed in...

Halloween Stalker
Where is it that you live?
Do you go out every night?
What time do you come home?
Am I giving you a fright?
If you would let me in,
I can be there every night,
even though you don't want me to,
I will be a dreadful delight!
I'll be there just for you.
What might a good time be?
Even though you don't want me to,
we’ll have so much fun, you'll see!
Do you go out every night?

Spiders
Eight legs and brown,
it ran across my bathroom floor.
I smacked it with my shoe,
it doesn't live here anymore.
But then I looked around,
and there were several more.
How could they multiply so fast,
I headed for the door!
But the door wouldn’t open,
not like it had before.
And as I looked around,
several had become at least a hundred and four!
Now I knew I was doomed,
these spiders had me trapped.
I tried to beg and plead,
but they wanted their buddy back.
Needless...

Greedy Soul
knock! knock!
there's a demon at your door
here to collect from a life time of sin
you took from the needy
to feed your own greedy soul
always making excuses
for why it was you who was in the right
but deep down you know the truth
you benefited from others hard work
never thinking of their lives
only throwing them scraps
the bare minimum
knock! knock!
it's me again
too afraid to open up?
don't worry
I'm also under your bed
the creaking in the basement
I'll get you for the pain you caused ...

Little White House
Little White House...
Why do you have a red door?
Why do you have black shutters?
And vultures that fly a soar?
Little White House...
Why do I hear screaming at night?
And glasses breaking?
As children are crying in fright.
Little White House...
Why am I the only one not afraid of you?
Even I could be tortured if I enter.
I know you could make me black and blue.
Little White House...
Who do you have hiding inside?
Why won't you let me see?
And have your curtains opened wide?
Little White House...
What is that...
Why do you have a red door?
Why do you have black shutters?
And vultures that fly a soar?
Little White House...
Why do I hear screaming at night?
And glasses breaking?
As children are crying in fright.
Little White House...
Why am I the only one not afraid of you?
Even I could be tortured if I enter.
I know you could make me black and blue.
Little White House...
Who do you have hiding inside?
Why won't you let me see?
And have your curtains opened wide?
Little White House...

Running Amok
Feeling a harrow dragging plow over the résumé
of the blooming shadow in the Gethsemane of my
insanity. With an arc of ashes kindling my soul
castrating the pendulum down the hall. Listening to
the insane Coocoo as it rewinds the clock backward
ticking out its androgynous tongue. Playing a little
widdershins on my knee.
Tipping over the bottle of beer. Welcoming you to
my rum yard of the raven's claw in my poetic
Odyssey. Setting sail with my quill. Wearing my
Buster Brown's. Playing Knick Knack...

Harnessing the Inferno
Fear... Fear's a powerful thing, flames of force,
An inferno within, a relentless source.
Yet, can you turn it into a driving light,
To push you forward, through day and night?
If you can wrestle that fear, a tempest's might,
And channel its energy, like morning's light,
Then you'll find a power that's hard to compare,
A force within that will lead you anywhere.
I always felt I had to outrun the sun,
Toil and strive until the race was won.
Working harder to match the pace,
Of others' strides, in life's grand chase.

The Bloodstone
One fine Summers day
A young girl, aged about eight
Went home, and said to her mother
That she had decided to become invisible
And within a blink of an eye
She disappeared!
Quite naturally
The young girls mother
Was horrified
As she couldn't of imagined
Even in her wildest nightmares
For the briefest moment, of even one solitary second
That her daughter, would literally disappear
Her daughter, meanwhile
Saw this as a great opportunity
To tease her mother
By playing hide, and seek
Without actually telling her ...

Fears
Fear,
I'm constantly running away,
No place to hide, no comfort in sight,
It just keeps holding onto my soul, never letting go.
My heart races like a pounding drum,
Danger surrounds me, no way to escape,
I feel trapped and paralyzed, unable to overcome.
I try to break free from the despair, but it's overwhelming,
I'm stuck in a prison of fear with no windows,
There's nowhere to go, no safe place to find.
Desperation takes hold, and tears flow freely,
Everything I once had is shattered by fear's spite,
My thoughts...
