As the Clear Crystal Cold Caresses My Soul

Every Guy's Fantasy Came True In This Video

A still from the video

It's no secret we're close

As sweaty velcro

Like latex, fur and feathers

Now

In their '62 Vette

Sharing one cigarette

in a black light trance then

Go go dance

Then

Go go trance

Then

They keep me warm on cold nights

We must be quite a sight

In our meat triangle

All tangled

Wow

TY to Trench for this email & poem sent to the blog:

First I want to express my condolences. While the world has lost Peter I

know how hard it can be for a family to deal with such a loss.

I've been listening to Type O since I was in my mid 20s. I'm 42 now. I

was never the type to follow them from club to club and I only got to

see them once and that was in North Carolina of all places. However I

suffered from depression for the longest time and I when I heard Pete's

lyrics the depression didn't seem as bad as it did knowing that a talent

like him had similar doubts and fears.

I constantly thought of suicide but instead of taking my own life I

decided to put pen to paper as many people who suffer from depression do

and I banged out a few lyrics or poems, depending what you want to call

them.

The one I'm going to show you was heavily inspired by Type O Negative. I

had wished that if I ever got the chance to meet Peter that I could get

his critique on it even if he hated it.

Thank you for your time.

“Dark River”

October leaves fall dead upon the water

Bitter stench of romance in the air

Shadows offer me no refuge

Just my black cross to bear

The great sadness sickens me

Heed the dark river water’s call

Breaking through the glass surface

Off the banks of the river I fall

Fall backwards into the water

In a frozen crucifix pose

Too late for me to turn the tide

This is the liquid fate I chose

I can no longer fathom my existence

As the clear crystal cold caresses my soul

My eyes close as I lose sight of the surface

Open my mouth and let the water take its toll

Come to rest as my body reaches the bottom

Sink softly into the rivers sand

Death’s kiss is fresh upon my lips

Then she takes me gently by the hand

My body looks so peaceful as I leave

Crests of the river begin to swell

Death gives me one last embrace

As I begin my descent into hell

Thanks to Jana for submitting this poem that reminds her of Autumn:

ALL HALLOWS EVE

The air is warm – it`s the breath of autumn

Falling leaves is dancing through the streets

A colourful death – year is dying

Farewell my God

I won`t crying

I visit some graves

Send a flower-greeting

And turn on a light (might the way less dark for the night)

Every year is one more

So am I get older every hour

One day to get none is my fear.

The day is filled with orange

Nature presents their best dress

Hear a soft knocking at this days door

Let the ghosts of the past in my floor

The evening sun send thoughs of thus what will come

Burning candles all over and the pumkin grin

The horrible nightmare will soon begin

Invite the dead ones – those who were gone

Like every new year I will run out in grief

This is my day- it is

All hallows Eve
