The Poetry of Eric Z Fox

Why must I watch this beauty from afar?

I wonder can she heal the scar



Upon my weary heart

Could healing she start



But alas you belong to another man

So admiration is my plan.

I'll adore you from a distance.

That way I get no resistance.

Your face is a beauty with no equal

To bad for true love there is no sequel.

Your hair was spun by angel's fingers.

Your voice is wished for by all singers



Soulful giant eyes,

When I lose myself in them all I hear are sighs



So this poem is the closest I'll get

And NEVER you'll read this, I'd bet.

  By ERIC Z FOX





When is it that you stop the battle?

Is it when you hear the ghostly rattle?

Perhaps it's when hope is lost

And the price does cost

Greater than your heart can give

And you know it's not worth it to live

Yet I am no coward

But my heart feels devoured

So will someone please tell me what must be done?

Because fighting is no longer fun

I can scream and cry

And eternally I can try

But will this ever be resolved

Will my case ever be solved?

Will I ever save the one I love from purgatory?

Will I get a happy ending to my story?

Will promises ever be fulfilled?

Or is the unhappiness what God has willed

For me to fight may way through

Is the thought of heaven that untrue?

The Vampire Lestat









The moon is above me bright and full

I'm a hunter with body and soul as my tool

With immeasurable senses I stalk upon this city

Look for evil doers and people without pity.

Because those are the hearts upon I feast.

Every morning I hardly fear the east.

Cuz it will take more than the power of the sun.

Cuz Saint Lestat Is having to much fun.

Fighting monsters, and easing suffering these I do.

And the Catholic edict I hold true.

And once in awhile I do give the dark gift.

But to stop me you better be swift

Cuz I can cloud your mind.

and you'll think your desires you'll find

but it will only be my dark embrace

Cuz I am the brat prince of my entire race.

The City Of Sorrows



It is a dank and awful place

Not held by any one race

It has us all in a melting pot

Just ready for the right spot

A situation to light the fire

To start off the bombs higher

But this land that time forgot

is the feeding grounds for the juggernaut

It is a world that God misplaced

Or sent here all the waste

Because here it is horror

And the hour never reaches half past quarter

Yes the days go by but time does not

It is the land of the Devils rot

So this city of useless tomorrows

Is the famous city of sorrows.

My words

It is something special to find her

Something that is the all cure

It heals old wounds and opens new doors

It is something I would always want by scores

It is something that fuels all my words

And I know its something you've heard

Still though I'll say it again

You are my stain, the goodness

Of my heart is due to your bliss

So you I'll never want to miss

And this you should take in stride

I still wish some day you'll be my bride!

My Dilemma

What makes a man a good dad?

Is it that when she's in trouble he is sad?

Perhaps it's that he chooses to be in her life

Even though her mother is not his wife

But what if that puts her in danger

Because she's around a person worse than a stranger

And what should her father do

To prove he loves her true

It doesn't help to be in constant mourning

And that his eyes keep pouring

But he has exhausted every resource

Could anyone help him set his course?

Well if it's giving her everything he never had

Then perhaps money is more important than a dad

Because this dad believes in morals

But that doesn't help his quarrels

And the fact this his child might be lost

So evil has a cost

But this dad can't bring himself to break the law

So he hopes this visit won't be the last he saw

Of his poor little daughter

Because that will bring his heart to slaughter

So in his heart he'll hold to hope

That her mom will not bring her around dope!

By Eric Z Fox

Justice

There is something I once heard

But today it sounds absurd

Even though it's only a two syllable word

I thought there were laws to protect

People and things from harm and neglect

But I think this system has broken down

Well perhaps it's because we are slightly brown

Or maybe it's because I am a man

But that's ok cuz I have a plan

And it's such a doozy

Because the mother is an evil floozie

Who's taught her kids to fear cops

And that drug dealing pops

So hopefully the world will see

How bad certain mom's can be

And even though my reproduction tool-

Is exterior- I am no fool.

Nor am I inferior.

IMMORTAL LOVE





FOR EONS PAST- AND TIME SO VAST

I LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALY

AND THOUGH WE AREN'T TRADITANALY HUSBAND AND WIFE

WE WILL ETERNALY HELP MAN THROUGH ITS STRIFF

FOR WE ARE KINDRED CREATURES- UNDYING TEACHERS

AND YES OUR KISSES PINCH

WE NEVER TAKE MORE THEN An INCH

JUST ENOUGH TO QUENCH OUR THIRST

AND WATCH MAN WHOS CURSED

BY THINGS MUCH WORSE THEN US

AND WE DON'T PUT UP MUCH FUSS

UNLESS U TRY TO KEEP US CORNERED. TRAPPED!

THEN OUR FANGS PROCEED BLOOD STRAPPED

CLAWS BIGHTING SLASHING ALL THESE YOU'LL GET

TRY ME LETS BET

The ending falls out huh?



I am Immortal



Do I know from the things I smell?

Or should I know cuz it truly is hell

Is it because this hunger I feel

It's because this things kiss did seal

A bargain from the depths of the pit

And this evil just won't quit

She made me drink upon her soul

After one taste I had no control

It was the sweet nectar of God's fruit

And I loved this thing to boot

And her kiss pulled gently upon my heart

And that's all it took for this evil to start

So unless I will step into the fire

I will forever be a weary vampire.

By Eric Z Fox 4/25/07





For most people does the good out way the bad

Maybe that's why I am so sad

Because I am unworthy of happiness

So I'll wish for a God bless

To get me through the trying times

And really only love is my crime

Because I've felt it to strong

Or held on too long

But a father to daughters bond is eternal

Well that's the definition of fraternal

But sometimes the darkness is so alone

And my hearts beats to a dreary tone

From my friends I lost

To true love that turned to frost

But for my daughter I have to fight

And push back a horrid night

But sometimes I wished someone could carry me

And help me live happily

But that's for dads to do

Because my daughter I love you

BY Eric Z Fox

Father Hood

Being a dad is not a part time thing

Or some weekend fling

It's vigilance on going

And we are supposed to be showing

How a functional adult acts

And to teach young minds the facts

That life is a beautiful experience

And that friendship is held with diligence

That we love those whom are deserving

And forget them who are unnerving

To respect thy self and all

And that someday they will grow tall

Teaching how to read & write

How to walk & talk and facing the world with might

But most important are kisses & hugs

And night time snuggs

Into beds of warmth and love

So I guess Father Hood fits me like a glove.

"Beware the Ides of March," isn't that what the Etruscan said?

About the day Julies Caesar bled

Could that be the day liberty died?

And the day that justice cried?

Or could it have been simply balance

With the equality of malice

Two wrongs don't make it right

But it does make it an even fight

Do I know what justice is?

Do you know what you did?

Who is worse Brutus cuz he was first?

Or Augustus because democracy he made burst?

So if in these words you see my truth and implication

Help me in saving justice from starvation.

So I sit here thinking of thee.

And how we could live happily.

How you are a beauty that should be worshiped.

And to ETERNITY you should be UPED.

A Goddess of true divinity.

That's what you happen to be.



On my knees I'd pray to you.

Just to hear you say, "Me too."



But alas I'll worship you from afar

And forever I'll be your avatar.

Your prince of protection and love.

In thy name ill release two dove.

Representing both you and I.

Within those feelings I could never die.



Immortal Goddess that you are,

Please allow me to be your avatar.



By any name you chose for me I'll respond

Because of you I am fond.

Of the Simpler things in life,

And anything I'd do for you to be my wife.



So to ancient elder God's I'd pray.

For your hand in mine to stay.

And a kiss from your lips I'd steal.

Because I know then my heart would heal.

But even two words to you I can not utter

I think it's because I know I'll stutter.



So again I'll watch you from a shade.

Because cowardice must be my trade.

Amanda





I sit here trying to write words

A simple poem no one has ever heard

But no amount of rhyme

And no amount of time

Could ever do her justice true

But she I've always knew

From the day that she was born

I have always sworn

That I would be her protector

From our parents home to the grown sector

And when we were young we played a game

And God gave for her the perfect name

Cuz in her life I will never miss

Because she is my lil sis

•          The poetry of ?????



























































































Eternity

For thousands of years it was only you

Yes, as Egyptian slaves my heart was true

And as Romans we danced through ancient wonders

In Iceland we worshiped Thor god of thunder

For you countless times I've died

And for me I know countless times you've cried

Yet, still I fight to go on

Because I know you'll never be gone

So once again in purgatory I wait

For three sisters to decide my fate

Just like three times before

When I gave my life so you'd have more

Several times I gave my Gods for you

Just to hear you say you love me too

Yet now we live apart

And I wish for a start

Truly though I know it will come

Because eternity has just begun.





























Last night I dreamed of watching the sunset with you

Together we watched the disappearing color of blue

Then you placed your hands inside of mine

And I lost track of all time

Slowly bright stars came to life

And from my heart I lost all strife

The bright moon caused your dark hair to gleam

Then I knew for my broken heart you were the seam

Leisurely you looked into my eyes and held my heart in your arms

And you, I knew were heavens charms

But alas you belong to another

Fortunately it's not my brother

And so for your love I've decided to fight

Yet now I'll enjoy this heavenly starlight.



















I can't love you any more

I can't love you any more.

Because you already shoved me through a door

I have to let you go

My resolve I do have to show

I must not imagine how much of you I do adore

Because then I know you'll make me soar

Into a place it's already been

A place that's hard to mend

But that is what I must deplore

Because I can't love you anymore



Yet this I know and this a try and show

But you feel the same even if you're hiding in a game

From your touch and eyes I can see

That I make you sing happily

But you probably won't change

And my life you'll want to rearrange

So I can't love you any more

Because you are a whore!







Gwen

Who can you trust more than I?

When surely you know for you I'd die

When I would take your burdens upon my shoulder

And for your candle I'd be the holder

Into your arms is where I wish to be

But you think this is absurdity.

So with my heart you'd rather play

When all I want is for you to stay.

Maybe I'm that ugly or awful

Or perhaps just pitiful

Do you still think I am unworthy?

Well I guess that is surely

Than tell me what to do

And I'll do it times two

But this must be done

So than just stop having fun

Or say goodbye!











Jackie/Gwen

Were you once called by another name?

Because I know you have already played this game

For countless centuries you've conquered the strong

And you've played a repeating song

That! Is how I know you

It, is what has shown me true

That you are a demoness of several guises

And your face is on temple rises

Is the fall of Rome upon your head?

Is that why evil will never be dead?

Because for all time you'll give it birth

You are the source of all evil mirth

So are you the bringer of all that is leery?

Are you the ancient Nefateri?

Then why can I not be Pharaoh?

Why can the God king not be me?

So I could send your heart away unhappily

To wonder the endless dessert sands

And be broken by a slave masters hands

Even if he is deliverance

I will destroy him for six pence

Even if it is hell that is my destiny

Than still I will search for my eternity

That demoness who bites me still

I will always cherish with all my will

So to any god I would pray

If it makes my love stay.























Two Wrongs or right

I know I committed the worst atrocity

But why do you have so much hostility

All I've done is love you to long and much

Thought it's your fault cuz your touch

I know you think I'm unworthy

But how could you think I'm undeserving

My devotion to you has never swayed

And how dearly I wish you had stayed

But to another man you went

So know I'll never be heaven sent

Though you too were wrong

To push me away when we made our own song

So though you love me will still fight

Do you think two wrongs make a right?

















Do you know how hard it was to allow my heart to grow?

Do you know how hard it was to let your heart go?

And do you believe, that my soul grieves?

Do I have faith in a being that is all seeing?

Omnipotence

The word is quite fancy

When I looked into your eyes

I saw heavenly skies

But you pushed me away,

And did you think I would just stay

That I would want you any day.

There was once a time

When I would give all that is mine

Unfortunately things were changed

And there is nothing that I can do

Well 'maybe' I Love You

But I bet neither of us would say it out loud

Because we are both to proud.

But I know its true,

Why don't you???







Gwen

It's not that I fear straying eyes

It's that I fear love dies

And I will keep it alive no mater the cost

I don't believe ours could be lost

My soul shimmers just when I think your name

Please don't let this be a game

I would hold you even if it weren't needed

To God I've already pleaded

I'd listen even when you're mad

And give you space when you are sad

I've broken your wall before

So, please, open up that door

And let me in, my dearest,

Dearest Gwen

















If the Phoenix rose from ashes gone

And exists to times beyond.

Can a past love be regained?

Can a broken heart be tamed?

For several years past my love was away

And a tear I dropped for every day

Every night I have dreamed, that you were in my arms

But every morning you were gone..So I screamed

Soon time went bye

And still I would cry

Then one night you were alone

But I was unable to match your tone

So I watched from a far

And to God I asked for an avatar

But I was still alone

So this is my testament

To a time when I could repent

So if you at least read these words

Than at least you would have heard.









You lied and tricked and fooled me

Why would that be?

I loved you truly with all my heart

Almost from the very start.

Oh how I miss you, my dearest, dearest, Gwen.

How easy it is for me to think back to a time when

I thought that you cared

And my heart with you I shared.

Without your voice ringing in my ears

My heart is streaked with horrific tears

Oh, how much I do long for you

But you lied, so I guess it's through.

Yet still I love you. That is something I hope

You already knew.
