THE DARK SIDE

I enjoy reading horror stories from time to time. I have also written a few horror stories myself. I like exploring the other side of people's emotions. I.m drawn to weird and unusual people and places. I can write a story about an abandoned warehouse or an eccentric person who lives in the park.

CONTRASTING LIVES

I am writing about two contrasting people. One is a multi millionaire filmmaker who lives in a mansion. The other lives in a basement apartment with the bare essentials (by his own standards). Ironically, these two men are friends. 

I just thought of a millionaire marrying a girl who works at a fast food place. Also a king who marries a peasant girl. This may have happened much in the past and today. I want to put my spin on the subject.

POEM

 ALONENESS


I'm acquainted with it

I'm not lonely

I enjoy being by myself

A solitary figure in the sea of life.


I trek to places I'm intimate with

Washington Square Park

St. Mark's Place. Port Authority.

The Forty-Deuce

Christopher Street Pier.


Even in these crowded environs

I can find solitude

Shutting out all the distractions

Like a caterpillar in a cocoon.


~Genevieve
