Shade is the dim, the dark, the shadowy places underneath.
Shade is the damp, the dank, the hollowed places in-between.
Shade is the cool, the chilled, the trickling places underground.
Shade is the veiled, the shrouded, the obscured places that surround.
Shade is the hidden, the concealed, the buried places below.
Shade is the abandoned, the forgotten, the places lost long ago.
And As the years pass by toward the end of our days.
We soon shall return to the shade of our graves.
~Curtis Rx
Harken Strangers! So you’ve come here on this dark and stormy night to hear my dastardly little tale. Let me begin by saying, that no matter how shocking it may seem, every crimson ounce of it is true. I am an advocate of mischief and a creator of turmoil. I compose ghastly music based on eerie circumstance and delightful tragedy in the band Creature Feature and the band Rufus Rex. I direct strange films depicting ill-fated events and ghoulish irony. I am a writer of the macabre, as opposed to a revolver, I use a sharpened pencil to displace my brains. I gently squeeze the trigger and splatter the page with metaphor. Read, watch, and listen, you never know what wonderful terrible things you might unearth.
If you enjoy my website and like what I do, please donate toward my film projects, they desperately need it.

My good sir, I do believe that I have found a poem to add to my collection of favourites. :]
I love it… and without the light not have shade.
abandoned places silents and damaged is so pretty
so sit down in this places is very great to feel the silent world…
When I walk among graves, I feel the destiny and one great amazing peace
I don’t how explain, so peaceful and mistery in all it…
When you not know only the most magnificent in simple choices and few contemplate the splendid destination that gave us to the bones.
the way you finish this poem was perfect.
I am delight all it ahahahaha
You just made my allergy to the UV rays of the sun a good thing. Muchos Gracias, Mi Amigo.

This is magnificent! and because it’s all true!! Curtis i don’t say this to people…at all really but you are even more awesome than Gibbs! (Gibbs from NCIS that is….and to me and my unbio sister Gibbs is like god!!)
If we could read your poems in class language arts 11 would no longer be a bore. And it’s rare that this class bores me so as I enjoy writing and reading, but still, a first time for everything. *sigh*
