This is my time.
The time between times.
And those who journey forth
See things others cannot.
For a while, at least.

Dark figures do battle
In the eternal war
Greater than humankind
Would ever dare to dream.
I am one who fights.
Awake to the war
Most have no inkling of.

These are my friends.
The few who feel the same as I.
Alive for a night,
And merely watching other nights pass by.

This is my feeling
On the Hallowed Eve.
Each time it touches Earth,
I live again.

holy smokes, flayed! i was thinking the exact same thing reading your poems:
"this would make a really good illustrated story."
seriously, if you ever get it made, be sure to let me know cause i'm buying one.

speaking of books, i'm thinking we could throw all of these poems (plus all of marley's others, of course) together and make a "poetry of HDC" book (hey, it even rhymes!)

Thanks, Doc. That means a lot coming from a published writer. I'm very lethargic in submitting my material, and I get down on myself for it. I have a story hanging around down in the Horror Fiction section which I wrote to submit. I ended up only submitting it once, and I have no excuse but laziness. What I really need is a fire under my ass because I haven't been paid or won anything for writing in almost ten years.

That one you just posted has been around for a while hasn't it?

Fortunato is not Doc, and to my best of knowledge, is not a published writer- though he might be.

Do you mean the poems, or the story "I Love You?"

Wow. I guess I'm more tired than I thought tonight. Sorry fort & doc for the confusion. It still means a lot to me that an articulate member such as fortunato says those kind of things about my work.:o

Yeah, it's actually went through constant updates for almost eight years. I never seem to be able to find an artist who is willing to commit, so like Xanadu, my work remains unfinished, possibly for eternity.:o

Drawing for dummies?
MissMacabre?


I hope I can buy it for kids I hope to have someday.

I'd work with MM in a heartbeat, if she was interested.

And Despare, you wouldn't need to buy a copy. I'd send you a signed one for free.
