Cemetery man

Nothing!
shall I long for!
Nothing! but the dawn!
...

When beauty fades
and your youth wastes away,
What will become
of your pretty face?
...

Goodbye
my lullaby soul,

Now in this world
...

Never! shall I wander
from my old cold withered home,

where the rain streams down
...

Between shadow and light,

and the pale white of moon,
...

In an old cemetery
by the sea,
I buried my father
then I buried me,
...

All those nights!
she read me poems
until I'd drift away to sleep.
...

Where I buried her!

.....without shadow or light,
...

Everything I am,

and all that I believed,
...

Ride for your life!
Ride it to the end!
But dont live like you loved
or you'l die til! you're dead!
...

Will she miss me
when I'm gone,
When I've left her
and moved on,
...

Frozen cold

Forever still
...

TELL ME, GOD!
that you'l let me dream,

that I'l dream of a heaven
...

Don't shed a tear!
Not a single drop!

Dont feel sorry,
...

27 years
and I had had it up to here wth the Bronx!
Had it up to here
with the smell, the stench, the filth and the noise.
...

Having beaten
the devil once before,
I was ready to place a bet,
...

I should have known
he'd read my words
and test my mortal faith.
...

Am I truly happy?
My mother wants to know.

Am I ever lonely?
...

I'm tired,
and I'm broken,
all these years have left me worn
............And I'm looking back,
...

When heaven's prayers
haav turnned to dreams
and dreams have turned to dust,
...
