Once upon a midnight dreary....
...While I pondered, weak and weary,
over a half pint...I thought I would
pay a tribute to one of the patron
saints of Halloween....Poe!
here's a page with an audio version of "THe Raven"
Read by Basil Rathbone...an actor who played a
charator(sherlock holmes)who was inspired by
the stories of Poe...bout a ten minute listen...
The .ra file plays in realaudio
Listen!!!....Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Having abandoned my search for truth,
I am now looking for a good fantasy.

I didn't know Nick Lowe was bi-polar as well...
He writes like I do...
The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bonds
Restless by day
And by night, rants and rages at the stars
God help, the beast in me
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me
Sometimes
It tries to kid me that it's just a teddy bear
Or even somehow managed
To vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me
That everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
The beast in me
—Songwriter Nick Lowe, “The Beast in Me”
Cheers Nick!Rant and rage at the stars!Like me...

ok...
Its called,Its What She Says
Its what she says
Goodbye angry honorable son
Sick of your dirt on my floor
Tired of your whisky lies
I’ve waited for you
Sitting in the freezing snow
Too many years now
Its what she says
Tired of your gin rhymes
I’ve waited for you
Sitting in freezing rain
Too many hours now
Its what she says
Goodbye, goodbye
You opened my eyes to your lies
Absinthe driving you mad
So why pretend?
She says, she says
Been sitting in your darkest days
Too many years now
All alone and a bitter man you are
Twisted and mad
So whisper me a goodbye
Its what she says.

Thanks Chispa...I just wanted to see ONE thing written by me in print...for me.Its all I own and I enjoy writing.I fantasize about seeing something I wrote in a publication or put to music...then you are truly immortal;you never die;even when you're gone.I can't afford to publish my own poems so I give them to people.Its a grand reward when people like my poems and lyrics.Feels good,y'know?Thanks again...
Does anyone else write?.....I know Glenn does and he's great!

Numb
I’m cold again
So cold the birds have flown away
leaving me in silence
Just the cold remains
The wind tearing through me
Clouds rolling over the stars
Now I can’t dream
Its all I had, now gone
I’m blinded, cold
Numb.
I can’t see your face
Its raining again
So frozen the rain it falls in slow motion
So cold and frozen
Numbing my lips as I look to the heavens
I’m cold
Numb
I can’t breathe
Can’t catch my breath
Its snowing again
So frozen I can’t feel my heartbeat
Skin so frozen my blood hardened
Just the cold remains
I’m cold
Numb
I can’t feel, can’t feel your touch
Its hailing again
So frozen I can’t feel the pain
on my dead flesh
Can’t hear the hollow sound as it pounds me
Just the cold remains
Demons stabbing and cutting
I can’t smile or cry
Its quiet in this existence
I’m cold
Numb.
