I stopped appearing as Dracula in 1972 because in my opinion the presentation of the character had deteriorated to such an extent, particularly bringing him into the contemporary day and age, that it really no longer had any meaning.

Why Should I....?

You have your wife and,
I do have my wife as well;
So why should i look at the nakedness of your wife?
For this volcano is giving out its fire out of the ice! !
And the Dragon and the Dracula are now alert;
So why should i watch the nakedness of your wife?

Romania (december 2009)

lured by bloodcurdling tales
we made full trips out of Transylvania’s castles
and lovely medieval Saxon towns
like Sighiş oara,
where the ‘real Dracula’
(Vlad Ţ epeş ;)
first grew his teeth.

the suspense
made me forget
what Liza did.

A Few Things You Should Never Do

Never date the Wolfman
on the night of a full moon.
You could end up
with a very nasty love bite.

Never date Dr Frankenstein
on a stormy night.
You might just end up
with a bolt out of the blue.

Never open Dracula’s coffin
as the sun begins to set.
You might end up
opening a box of your own.

Purple Stain

To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin

Python power straight from Monty
Celluloid loves got a John Frusciante
Spread your head and spread the blanket
She's too free and I'm the patient

Black and white a red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain - I know

Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood

Halloween Creatures Of The Night

(10/5/11)

This was the night that I was told
Not to walk this lonely dark road
For this was the night that they would all come out
This is what Halloween was about.
Out of the shadows they all came
And many of them was known by name.
There was Frankenstein, the werewolf, the mummy too.
There was count Dracula and his batty friends
The line continued - there was no end.

Then came the witches mixing their brew
In a cauldron pot - would this line ever stop.
The ghouls, the goblins and the ghosts
With their glasses ready to toast.
Backing up the line with sickle in hand
Was the grim reaper, the most feared in the land.
They would go to every street in every town
Letting the kids know that they was around.

Yet, she is my wife

Painted with greed
Masked with hypocrisy
And her heart is frozen

Blessed with queen of a face
Decorated with a soothing voice
Yet, her heart is cold

Born in church
Born to a priest
Raised by Christians
Yet she is a witch

Behaves like a Samaritan
Walks like a pageant
Talks like an angel
Yet she is evil

Mistaken for love
Married for love

Me And The Man In Black

At Finale In Song
Me and the man in black sit at the top
Nestled under some trees
We share a smile and a laugh

As Finale ends
We leave our seats and pause for a moment looking at the stage and crowd

Side by side
Him and I share a moment that's reminiscent to me of a time when a couple vampire hunters defeated Dracula

Me and the man in black call it a night
Bidding farewell to the Faire
As well as bidding farewell to each other
But we both know we'll cross paths with each other again
Someday in time

Crystal Ball

Nowhere to go
Nowhere to belong
Places to go
What challenges to face
Without a soul
Who can understand?
Lost in this ocean
Of unknown faces
Coming in and out
To have their futures read

Drifting from place to place
Like gypsies
No place is home
Yet everywhere travelled
Crystal ball in hand
Fortunes to scan
Gold coins hidden in bosom
The moon at night

If only my eyes do not pain

If only my eyes do not pain
If only these eyes do not get tired
Eyes they are of a human frailty

I could have written a thousand
More poems in
256 ghz

but I am just a man
a mere mortal
with mortal eyes

I am not Dracula
I am not God

I have eyes that pain
I have fingers that tremble
I have a body that is frail
I have a soul that once in a while
Falter and fall and stumble

This Land Is Your Land

Baby soon the summer will come
Were going to race down to the sea
Let love drown us in a kiss that never quits
No beggar hands
No acquiescence to the fat cat liars
Fight the gated communities
Don’t let your neighborhood become nothing
Don’t let it become the new reservation
Don’t let their bull and flag waving deceive you
Fight these vamps for the rich
Push the shills out of the way
These right-wingers work for Dracula
Baby can you feel it in your veins
Stand by your man and fight them with me
This land is your land this land is my land

How Poetry May Not Be Taken Seriously

when spontaneously
a poem comes along
you grab it like a chicken
and choke it
with your usual grammatical
errors
and words not so well chosen
like a stream of erroneous
thoughts misspelled
and put out of context
and then you are too busy
to correct it
and post it right away
and then it comes back
to you when you
read it
after a while when you
come back from office
work and you
realize

Black Valentine

black Valentine girl, you are!
my first love upon the sight that hurt
as beautiful as you are!
as much I must hate you
the love of evil femme fatale
is my passion in pain ail
An ailment has dawned on my Summer sun
old and daisy chains of laughter that are broken
black Valentine girl!
Thy Scorpion sting in the early years
a child murdered in infancy
and my everyday encounters with insanity
This Valentine! I love you
Those years of teen when we are true

Night of the Red Satin
Lady Dracula in thee dream
there is no king in comedy
the only king is the king of tragedy

An Ode to Halloween

I am new to writing poems and I hope I can learn from all of you.
By the way, I learned how to write this kind of poem because of
An Ode to Christmas. Thank you very much!
An Ode to Halloween
When you see a child
In a costume scary and wild
You know it is Halloween.

When kids go trick-or-treats
And get lots and lots of sweets
You know it is Halloween.

When the trees give up their yellow leaves
And the dead give back their R.I.P.s
You know it is Halloween.

An Ode to scrumptious snacks
An Ode to skeletons that clack

An Ode to Dracula

The Devil's Sweets

The Devil’s sweets

This afternoon
I waited too soon
and let you in a secret
I hope you can keep it

I saw you sucking on the devil’s sweets
like a chocolate treat
if Dracula were around
it would make a sound
that would make the transformation complete

Don’t go
Don’t ignite the flame
Don’t spread the blame

Don’t wait
Why don’t you hesitate..
Anymore?

Tales Of Horror and Suspense

Madame Pompadour honoured us by graciously
informing the Department a terrible bug bit her in
the neck during the night, must have been Dracula
we immediately surmised, she a Damsel in distress
trying her best not to waste her time with the rest
of us plebs in the open-plan office, her door must
have been open and the evil monster attacked
perfectly on cue; mesmerised by the marvellous
adventures of our haughty Madame keeping her
head high while one event is followed by the next
incident; her list of original excuses is growing and
soon we shall publish a book delineating the lovely
progress of her exciting life, enlivening bureaucracy
with tales of Horror and Suspense!

Perfect Murder

Move inside my daydream
Like fingers in a glove
Twisting round and round and round
Round and round and round with love!
The meeker sleeker circle girls dressed in docile white
Spinning on a hill they follow the dracula kite
The first idea flew thin and uninvited from the sky
I reached out my hands and held the knife of ice
Very thin red water flowed underneath my skin
I turned their eyes blue children
The perfect murder
Wait until the darkest coldest summer nights
Thats when it starts
But if you blink you'll miss the fun
You'll lose their pretty hearts

The Curse Has Killed The Laurel Tree

The power of Dracula's curse is felt everywhere in Transylvania
The countryside is run down
The towns are feeling older than they should
Bridges are broken apart in pieces
And the minions of the undead grow in numbers more and more every day

And interestingly enough
Someway, somehow
The curse has killed the laurel tree

Walking up to the laurel tree
While protecting myself from the effects of evil
While being blessed in the time of sunlight
I can tell the laurel tree is so far gone
I can tell it's dead
And in my heart, I feel its pain
I feel for it, I really do
Because it didn't deserve this fate

And to the people as well as myself
