But first, on earth as Vampire sent, Thy corpse shall from the tomb be rent: Then ghastly haunt thy native place, And suck the blood of all thy race; There from thy daughter, sister, wife, At midnight drain the stream of life; Yet loathe the banquet which perforce Must feed thy livid living corpse. Shall know the demon for their sire, At cursing thee, thou cursing them, Thy flowers are withered on the stem.

I kneel and wait in silence As one by one the people slip away Into the night The quiet and empty bodies Kiss the ground before they pray Kiss the ground And slip away I sit and listen dreamlessly A promise of salvation makes me stay Then look at your face And feel my heart pushed in As all around the children play The games they tired of yesterday They play They play I stand and hear my voice Cry out A wordless scream at ancient power It breaks against stone I softly leave you crying I cannot hold what you devour The sacrifice of penance In the holy hour
TONIGHT Tonight I looked up at the stars, And I wondered where you are. Tonight I gazed upon the moon, In hopes that I would see you soon. Tonight I've been thinking of you, Have you been thinking about me, too? Tonight my heart is full of fear, 'Cause you are there and I am here. Tonight I will have a dream, And all too real it will seem. Tonight you'll look oh so fine, But It will all be in my mind. Tonight you won't even know, That I still love you so. I cannot caress your soft skin, Or run my fingers through your hair. For it's only your picture I see, An image is all that's there. I can admire your beauty, To which I must stare. Your chin, your mouth, your nose and eyes, All add to a face so fair. I hope that you can accept, How much I really care. A person who loves you more, You shan't find anywhere. Down the road, I see a day, When my feelings we'll both share. 'Cause the way I feel without you, I can only so long bare. *You* I want to tell you, "I love you!" This I'm saying is shining true It's from my heart A defenseless part I look into your eyes You look into mine I will give you no lies You are divine There is no pressure Being with you is what I treasure There is nothing I demand I hope you understand I am mature My love will endure Through heartache and sorrow I'll look forward to tomorrow Which will be a brighter day This I believe in and say Though nothing is as simple as it seems I give you my honor, my life, my dreams... The Afterlife I have just died, and nothing is happening. And I am very scared. I don't like this. But now I hear a voice, too quiet to understand. It's getting louder, and now I can make out the words. It's saying "There is no God, there is no God." It keeps repeating that, and it's very strange Because I realize that it is God's voice And I know that he's telling me the truth. I tell him that I don't understand what he's saying, That it makes no sense, but he just keeps repeating it. Now I'm thinking, trying to make sense of it And I've been here for days now, just thinking. And now something in my mind clicks together And I tell him something, I'm not sure what But he knows, he smiles, and now I'm in a new place A beautiful place, and all my questions are answered And as I'm flooded with Infinite Knowledge I start to mingle, to meet the people And I'm talking to several of them at once And it feels strange. But I like it here. Poet's Block I make lots of poems these days; I write them all the time But no matter how I try, I cannot make them rhyme How hard can it be, I tell myself, to find a rhyme for 'bird' For that I'm sure that there must be a million rhyming words Having all this trouble finding rhymes can be a pain I've been sitting here for hours; it's driving me insane I'm a damn good poet, and it sometimes make me mad That Dr. Seuss gets all the cash; he's actually quite bad But still the toddlers buy his books, and he gets all the dough 'Cuz he can think of words that sound like ones from the previous row If I could do it just one time, the public would be pleased And it would be my turn to get a cheque for royalties Now I'm even having trouble writing poems at all My mind is too preoccupied with this one shortfall I know I really shouldn't care if I find rhyming hard But I'm fast becoming paranoid; I can't get off my guard So please, if you can help me rhyme, I will not forget I'd give you anything you want; I'd be forever in your debt Sunrise the sun burns my eyes, but I can't look away the searing light from above burns the memory away so I'll stare until the sunset then I'll slowly remember what I've tried so hard to forget and as the darkness consumes me I'll wait for the sun to rise again My Love My love is like the universe Staying the same, but always changing All-encompassing, but always growing My love is like life Easily defined, but beyond explanation Perfectly simple, but beyond comprehension My love is higher than the highest mountain Further than the most distant star My love is who I am It is everything I know My love is all that matters My love is yours A Love Poem You asked me how I feel about you As if I could just open my mouth And give you the answer, As if it's even possible To describe what I feel But for you, I can try When I'm at school, I think about you When I'm alone, I write about you When I'm asleep, I dream about you I feel your pain I feel your joy When I'm angry, you calm me When I'm sad, you comfort me You are everything to me A part of me As essential as a heart, or lungs I can't explain what I feel I can only describe it But what explains it best When I clear my mind of everything When I block out the world All that remains is I Love You Cravings The mind craves many things Grows restless in their absence And rejoices in their presence Happiness and generosity Fairness and justice Reason, and truth And then there is love The greatest of these is love The great equalizer Which satisfies all cravings Hopeless Love I love you, with the strength of a hurricane I love you, with the power of the sun's rays I love you, with all my heart, and with all my mind I love you, and nothing else matters I would give anything that's mine to give I would do anything I could possibly do All for the slightest chance I could be with you But I've tried all that I know And still, you're not mine Fate tries to keep us apart I can't let fate win But I don't know what else I can do My love for you will never die But I'm afraid it's already been killed. The Summit The mountain stands before me I can't climb it, I know I can't It's too tall, too steep I don't have the right boots But maybe, just maybe I can do it anyway No, I can't I keep trying Sometimes I get so close I'm inches from the summit But just as I take that final step I slip Fall to the bottom again And when I look up The mountain is even higher Taller and steeper than ever My boots are torn to pieces But I start climbing again Slowly, I approach the top I take the final step Determined not to slip Shocked and surprised when I don't I've made it I pull myself to my feet Basking in my glorious victory When the wind picks up Before I know what's happened It's knocked me off the mountain Further down than ever Crushing me against the rocks below Falling In Love I'm falling in love with you I haven't quite yet, but I know the feeling I'm always thinking about you You're becoming a part of me I'm falling in love with you And I need to know Do you feel the same? Do you think of me when you're alone? Am I becoming a part of you? Are you falling in love with me? Or do you just want to be friends? Or not even that? Do you want to see me at all? I need to know what you want I need to know what you feel Before it's too late Before I fall in love with you Valentine's Day I hate Valentine's Day Every rose is a blunt blow to the head Every heart a rusty sword through mine The songs of love are a torch Burning away my soul And charring the remains of my heart Happy couples kissing on the street Are oblivious to me, the sole dark cloud On their bright blue skies I am isolated; I am alone A tree floating aimlessly in the ocean Never to feel my home soil again I love Valentine's Day Love songs on the radio echo my soul Shouting my every feeling to the world Hearts and flowers are all around A ceaseless reminder of her Of her flawless imperfections Each joyous couple I see Seems immensely distant From my flight in the sunny sky I am happy; I am complete The search for myself is over I have found my home soil
