			<description><![CDATA[ I have decided to post one of my poems, as a few of mine may be to violent, or self destructive, which is against the board rules. I decided on this one
because it actually won me second place in a talent competition, and is probably the safest to post. Hopefully it won&#39;t be too bad, as I&#39;m not exactly
sure where the line gets drawn. But if anyone would like to read the rest of mine, simply PM me, and I will send you the others. My style is more of a dramatic
reading then a poem, as... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Good evening to all my dark brethren! I have recently stumbled across the forums for one of my most inspirational and influential people, Mr. Joseph Vargo.
I am very pleased to see others that enjoy his masterpieces. For me, it all started at a local store I walked into. I looked through the posters and lo and
behold I was fortunate enough to lay my eyes upon several of Mr. Vargo&#39;s masterpieces and was immediately spellbound by the sheer compostion of them. I
immediately purchased all... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ ive never seen a spirit in my life, but on 3 occasions i have heard noises, and one of these times i felt something very powerfull. when i tell people of this
time when i felt it, it always brings tears. at the age of about 8 i was camping with my parents, and almost asleep in the back of a station wagon. there were

What I have been denied

more images as we come across stuff he&#39;s forgotten about, or new paintings. For now it&#39;s a giant collection of over 245 images, some unpublished and

			<description><![CDATA[ This song is inspired by the song Blood of Angels by Michelle Belanger and Nox Arcana.
<br>
<br>
The Apparitions
<br>
I was alone in the dim, dim darkness,
<br>
The wind blew in with such agressiveness.
<br>
The dark shadows formed, the air turned cold,
<br>
I saw dark figures from the days of old.
<br>
They were as terrible as the daybreak,
<br>
They formed around me, they made the earth quake.
<br>
I cowered in fear as they said their names,
<br>
Their dark forms were surrounded in red... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This song is inspired by the song Forlorn by Nox Arcana.
<br>
<br>
I wear an ebon dress with a moonbeam,
<br>
Thing may not be what they seem
<br>
My shadow stirs in the dim candlelight,
<br>
When I rise to roam the dead of the night.
<br>
Haunted memories of bygone lovers
<br>
Centuries of dust on my covers
<br>
Past lovers fell to the shadow of graves,
<br>
To the night, I am its unwilling slave
<br>
The cost for eternal life was so dear,
<br>
Night after night I live in greatest fear.... ]]></description>

Ode to My  Ancestry

Mary, Percy; your literary genius power

My tears came raining in a shower

The name Shelley fills me with such pride

But your time has passed in a swift tide

Your features have passed unto me,

You are a vision I wish to see.

O how I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The Vampire&#39;s Kiss
<br>
<br>
I was out in a treacherous dark night,
<br>
Bats in the belfry took ebony flight.
<br>
I sat alone, clutching my darkened heart,
<br>
My darkened heart that had been torn apart.
<br>
I heard echoes nearby, from a dark crypt,
<br>
As I heard them, by great fear I was gripped.
<br>
The voices beckoned me to the dark tomb
<br>
I entered this forbidden place of doom,
<br>
In this dark hour, I saw a darkened form,
<br>
It approched me like a slow-comming storm... ]]></description>
