The literary genre known as horror has gone through some changes as of late and, for those among you who cling to the old traditions, these changes do not bode well. However, before going into that topic, it is best to first offer a brief explanation of what the horror genre is about.

I look to the sky,
so clear and blue
peaceful,
calm.
The trees,
brown and dead,
yet they still have
some kind of luster.
The fields,
so expansive,
but like everything,
still enclosed by boundaries.
The road,
the smallest wall in height
to ever separate two things.
I see the breeze,
an impossible feat,
but not for this philosopher,
writer,
poet,
lover.
I see homes,
scattered like
raindrops on a windshield.
A tower or two,

Forbidden love
Ever hungering
Constantly yearning
Like an empty spot
In my soul
Your beautiful face
Haunting my sleep
Making me wish
That I could keep
You safe from harm
In my faithful arms
