'Nymphs Dancing to Pan's Flute' by Joseph Tomanek, (1889-1974)

The first time I saw this painting in a book, I was absolutely mesmerized. I could feel the heat on my face from the fire, the chill of the night on my back, and the tittering & giggling & laughing out of echoes of delight. I was a lost boy then, so of course I relate to Pan.

I watch you when you go; every time, smiling like an idiot. I think, "How lucky am I!?" & "How rare this must be!" You are so cute. I, on occasion, swell with pride at my ability to turn a phrase; In fact, I can flip it up & rub it down too. But whenever I see you I'm stunned! I haven't the words. When I see you, everything, all the words I conjure pale to what you are. Everything I say comes out silly. Everytime you touch me, I'm Marv being electrocuted.

Nautilus can be so hurtful at times, he's also sweet & kind & I'm thankful for, & love him very much. I will fight the world by his side.

Elison was a quiet baby with quiet cries & it was heartbreaking! She's a breathtakingly beautiful little monster, one that I will do anything for.

Annabelle has cuteness overload, she talks & it's cute, she walks, & it's cute, she sings, & it's so cute! I will protect her all the days of my life.

🍍I chalked this! In this spot on this day & if you were there, you know which day it was. If you were not there, you won't. And that way we can know exactly who is in & who is out. if you know, you know. But *I* did that. DANTÈS! Let not some stumbly tumblr artist claim credit for MY ART!! Let not some shakily ridden tumblr painter say they chalked MY ART! and if they claim credit for my awestriking ART! Bt double-U, that shadowy hand stretching irrilly into frame isn't even MINE! I am Dantès! Too uncatchable is my mistique! Too awestriking is my art! Too swollen is my prestiege! You think I would let slip into my art something as monatinius as a shadow of MY hand! NAY! I had one of my doubles "PRETEND" to take the picture while *I* DANTÈS! Took the real picture!! ...whilst wearing a disquise... That's how swollen my prestiege! Ha-HA!!! And Brah.. if you even think about dunking on me for bringing chalk to a park, I used those chalks from a kids birthday party! I just STROLLED UP! Started arting with chalk. Hagh! I am Dantès! I am an attractive yet tortured artistè...with presteige! My prestiege is so intense.. that when I enter a room, you can FEEL it! Dance with me, and you will HAVE-NO-DOUBT! Everyone wants the prestiege! In the movie prestiege it was a vital component to naming the movie the prestiege.🍍 Good morning. When I get high, I turn into King Ezekiel, aka Khary Payton in the walking dead. Idk why. But I'm proud of that. 😊 I love you all, my poetic hearts of tumblr! 🤗🎩🦚❤️❤️❤️🤙🏽

[If you are hurting, seek help! Talk to someone!❣️]

...Alone...

Cast away.

Trapped in these dark asylums,

Without a heart to fight with.

My only friends in the world were the shadows crying,

Saying, 'Just let go Dantès, join us dying'.

Alone with Lilith in the darkness,

A lustful tempest siren,

Her soft hands upon me as she's gently sighing,

Saying, 'Don't fear the fall, come join me flying,

I'll give you everything that she's been denying,

Just stay with me forever and I'll show you Zion'

"Craven boy who's Sorrow Laden!

Beset by dreams more gravely graven,

Than all of sorrow's souls both lost or taken.

Give your heart to me, you'll no longer be jaded,

& Bear what time remains with fairfarren maidens." 

"It's all untrue the love you think you feel,

It can never exist because it was never real,

Unless you choose to choose me,

We can make a deal,

Not a drop of blood pour it out with zeal!

Come Dantès, you do see my appeal,

I could peel away your skin & watch your blood congeal,

I won't steal a kiss but to you I'll reveal

Everything your dark heart's tried to conceal

Then you'll choose to love me more

Not that pseudo-gilded-slight Lenore!

I'll teach you to HATE her now and evermore.

You won't be burdened by her love forlorn,

You'll quoth to the sky, to that demon raven, You'll shout it with bloodlust, 'NEVERMORE, NEVERMORE!'

You'll be my savior, my own angel Agale!

Just crawl to me, submit to me now, and I will heal,

All the HEARTBREAK! All the SUFFERING! All the ANGUISH & SORROW you could EVER FEEL!!!"

..

......

...............

...................................

...Alone...

...I am alone down here...

Cast away.

Locked inside a room, in the dark, in a desperate place.

A place you don't go to by mistake..

A place they put you so you can be safe..

Safe from yourself.

Safe, & Alone.

But I'm never alone.

Even to this moment,

Since that day as a child when she spoke to me straight through the fucking ether.

Even now, bound by chemical chains,

With talons so deeply lain, to me she cleaves

...She is silent now...

But she never leaves...

She haunts my mind & senses,

She haunts my dreams,

& Only death will grant my longful reprieve.

Now, ten years & a lifetime ago,

Feigning innocent eyes in the light just for show,

But if you find me alone in the dark,

as by & by you happen to go,

With gleaming fangs, & bloodied claws, & eyes all aglow,

You will see me alone & you'll know that I,

I am never ever alone...

-Dantès

This poem is about a prevailing aspect of my life; my mental illness, my psychosis, & a specific moment as a child as well as a specific moment while inpatient at a psychiatric hospital.

My love, my dear, my darling bae

My angel Agale,

With tempest winds & hurricanes

You keep and keep the sirens away

Winged seraph, my only one

You walk unharmed through thistles & thorns

And leave every step a gleaming mark

The only light on this distant shore

A desperate message,

Quilled in candlelight,

Inked in the shadows,

That are borne by the night

I struggle to see by sting of the rain

Peering through pain of the belaboring storm

Long since faded my yern for the marrow

& Damned my soul by way of this voyage

Once more I wish this journey to end

For no treasure on earth,

Nor time on the sea

Would ever sate the soul of a lost boy like me

Coiled in the fingers of death & perched upon the precipice of the deep

Rescued from the darkness that engulfed me

Loved, & healed from the pain therein

My life is that of calm seas, starry skies & peaceful dreams,

But it was not always so...

No, it was not always so...

Before...

The world is cursed by turbulent seas,

Dreadful nightmares,

& demons from deep beneath

Has this curse touched everything?

Or just the sea?

The whole of existance?

Or only me?

Stitched together by darkened shadows,

But then so was I...

Whilst standing at the edge of these dark waters,

That murky black...

Glistening, thick as the ink from fates dossier

An endless desolate sea atop an abyss,

An hourglass whose sands are slowly ever sinking,

Where all the unknown and unknowable reside,

...And wait

They watch, and they wait,

Waiting for the foolish,

To let slip themselves into that dreadful pool,

If only to test those demons down under the sea,

By a finger or a toe, then a ripple and to woe,

Waiting for those too deaf to listen to the harkened warnings of their own beating hearts,

Sounding an existential warning so primeval it has touched both kings & vagrants,

Tugged at those seen with all splendor & grandeur as equally as those thought insignificant & deficient,

The beautiful or fearful whispers to both the living... 

& the dying. 

This darkened sea;

The path that is open to all

While assuredly sealed is this gate...

And so I myself stay away from the waters edge.

But having turned round my head 

I thought I saw...

A girl..

Though it can’t have been; for I am alone down here 

Solitude broken only by waves,

Waves lapping upon the bones of those fallen carelessly into that sea.

But there again I saw..

Or rather, *think* that I *see*...

but no. not this. this cannot be. 

Too long have my ears listened and listened to this sea, 

and too long have my eyes stared and glared at this sea. 

Too far have I gone to not know that I am lost but no further shall I go that this too should be forgotten.

Dare I believe these eyes that have openly tarnished the trust between us with lies?

Dare I believe that I see?

Dare I believe?

Who would this be? 

This girl, 

This girl at the edge of the sea?

If my eyes do no harm 

I may believe this girl is stone

Beautifully made and forever to say 

Not a sound and to be here alone with only me.

How long has she been in this place?

How long has she stood before the gate?

And why does she wait?

And if she waits,

Could it be that this girl does wait for me?

I've never felt so loved until you;

Since the moment I met you a lifetime ago I knew,

Despite that I was lost & tortured I knew.

I just wish,

That I would have been brave enough to court you then,

With sonnets & lutes by way of tights & poofy-armed shirts.

Alas, you were my knight in shiny armor

& I, your damsel in distress.

- Dantès

[darkhorsedantes]

Abandodned

Exiled in these waistlands,

Built of my own dispair;

The crushing solitude

& the yearning for my only one

My soul aches for you

My lips, they burn for yours

The longing of my arms

If only to hold you close

You are my heart

Without you I am hollow

Empty

An automaton existing in a dystopian world

Continuing on but only by memory

The memory of what once was.

The occupancy of you,

¡Mi Corazón!

Giving power to these robot veins.

Giving me true life.

Shall I take heart

That one day you might return

Moreover that you may return for *me*!?

A thousand years it's seemed

& having waited these thousand years

Hollow & alone,

Heartless & dethroned

I will wait a thousand-thousand years for you

Heartless & alone,

If for but a kiss by your lips

Happily in my sorrow

With your ghost I will wait

For you I will wait

That one day I will have you again

& again feel your kiss

I will happily wait

Forever

*Forgotten kiss*

MY INSPIRATION

Within their epoch

I toiled away

Aeons pass

Yet still I wait

Always wary

I hide my face

From the searching sight

Of both Time & Fate

But for you I'll go

I'll brave this fight

Neither Time nor Fate

Will pass this night

These so called gods

Will not withstand

Against what I've stollen

The quill of Fate & Time's sand

~Dantès

Days & days pass by,

They pass by & by & by.

That ceaseless mill,

Slowly ever grinding on

& I,

As if paused behind glass,

A capsule of time,

Watching mountains crumble

& oceans dry

In the blinking of an eye,

All within that moment of mine

As if it were a room,

Without door or window there

No entrance or exit anywhere

& everywhere I look

I see,

A thick curtain of fog

Hanging in the air

Hanging just beyond my reach
