Since the 5^th Grade, I have been writing poetry. Its been nearly over 50 years since I first began. I have self published seven hand-stitched books of poetry: Four Chapbooks and three mini-chapbooks. In my persona as Vlad, The Gypsy Bard, I am a member of The Niri Senti Gypsies, the Undead Poet’s Society and have read with The League of Vampiric Bards and at Coffee Houses, Dance Performances, Gothic and Science Fiction events.

An excerpt from my one of my favorite books, The Kiss of the Vampire:

Poor beauty, I am so sad you have enchanted me,
The world should have you as it’s wonder,
For more than nine days time.

Poor angel, you are too young to miss,
The ten thousand nights to come.

The stars are calling you,
But you cannot hear them,
For I have held you in my arms,
And put my mark on you,
And come heaven or hell,
I will have you.

For the next week, I will be re-releasing my Vampire Poetry Books for purchase to my fans who are living and possibly undead.
