Gone but Ever Near

Shivering and wet,
She bounded onto the sill
And made him her pet.
Her purr consumed his free will—
Though her meow was quite shrill.

Poem: Tie My Own Shoes Poetry's been way easier to write than my novels lately. Since I can't give a good update, I thought I'd share another poem I wrote this morning. Been going through some shit both physically and mentally and just needed a creative outlet. I'm sure some of you guys will understand this feeling and might even find the following poem relatable. …

Domina Nostra Oblivionis

She haunts the state born on Halloween-
Homemade syringe in her velvet sling.
Hard eyes glimmering an emerald green,
As the wounded become her playthings.

Poem: My Mistake My Mistake My mistake,I didn't know this would be grave,That I would see the hate,Pretend it's okay,But I've dug my own grave,The dirt fills my lungs,There are no words to be sung,I think that I'm done,Been hunted for so long,I want to be numb,Why can't I be dumb?Now I must succumb,To the things I've done.

Homicidal Mania By Richard H. Fay In the mad fantasies of my warped mind, I’ve murdered you over ten thousand times. I’ve killed you one hundred different ways, Each more gruesomely ghastly than the last. Sick of your harsh looks and judgmental stares, I’ve jabbed meatforks into your bulging eyes, Twisted ‘til your brain became gory mush, Then scooped out the bloody mess with a spoon. Done with your irate sighs and wrathful words, I’ve sliced out your tongue with a rusty blade, Poured a bucket of rocksalt down your throat, Then watched in pleasure as you gagged and choked. Weary of your cruel grip and clumsy touch, I’ve bound you in ropes and sawed off your hands, Flayed the flesh from your mutilated form, Then waited patiently while you bled out. I wonder what new horrors awaits you In my diabolical dreams tonight?

NEW DARK POEM, and it's possibly my sickest dark poem to date — "Homicidal Mania".

Writing a sick work like this shows just what kind of mood I'm in today — darker than dark!

Eh, it's cathartic!

A Vengeful Monster By Richard H. Fay Ravaged by hatred, Damaged by abuse, Wronged by humankind, I seethe in anger. Bloodied and broken But still drawing breath, I become a beast Feral and savage. My tormented mind Forms devilish thoughts. My tortured spirit Turns as black as pitch. This heart transfigures Into icy shards. This body transforms Into a brute’s frame. Human becomes fiend Lacking higher grace. Man becomes monster Lacking mortal cares. My fists will deal pain; My claws will rend flesh; My teeth will draw blood; Vengeance will be mine!

Because I'm in one of those dark moods today, I'm re-sharing my fairly recently penned dark poem "A Vengeful Monster".

Gone to a Better Place

Please, pay heed to the whispered warnings,
Lest you be snared on a hook
For despite your exalted learnings,
You may get lost in a book.

Carriage A quiet descent into the self…where movement is inevitable and awareness remains. Carriage by Tristan Robert Lange explores the mechanics of inward thought, the weight of consciousness, and the question of who—or what—drives us deeper.

🌑🖤 NEW POEM DROP 🖤🌑

“it travels the pathway…”

A descent inward…quiet, inevitable, and carried.

Within the Obsidian Turret A towering obsidian structure looms in darkness…its secrets whispering through narrow slits of light. This poem explores illusion, betrayal, and the false truths we trust—only to discover the deception was never external, but within.

🌑 NEW POEM DROP 🌑
where secrets scribble…
in silent screams

A descent into illusion, betrayal, and the truths we trust too easily.
