In the darkness of a man’s mind, he’s all alone,
His thoughts are a maze, with feelings like stone.
The mirror shows something not wanting to be seen,
Something inside him that he can not set free.
Stars disappear in a never-ending night,
He searches for answers, trying to make things right.
In this weird space where nothing makes sense,
His grip on reality starts to get tense.
Fate plays a trick, the universe laughs,
His world falls apart into broken halves.
In this place between shadow and light,
Normal stuff becomes something wild and bright.

No, no, I tell you, no
Do not go down there,
Turn back from the door
Step away from the stair
I cannot tell you, I can't
The secrets and the lies,
Because... it's too... dreadful
When a pretty thing dies
Yes, she was a pretty thing
But, should you see her now,
All gone and gray and sunken
O, I could not tell you how ...
Don't look, please do not
Well, the door is open a bit,
Peer inside, dare if you must
Do so without my permit
But, o, the sun, she must set
And another day be done ...
Then up jumps the silver moon
Now ... isn't darkness fun!

a master of suspense, a teller of dread
he wove his tales where shadows tread
with cameras rolling and stories tight
he painted fear in the blackest light
a train in the night, a stranger’s glance
he’d twist the ordinary into a dance
of danger lurking, unseen yet near
the thrill of the unknown, the taste of fear
a flock of birds, once harmless, now dire
a shower curtain veils the assassin’s fire
his genius lay in the slow, sharp tease
making hearts race with the faintest breeze
oh, hitchcock, maestro of cinema’s art
you gripped our minds, played with our hearts
each twist, each turn, a crafted delight
your tales still haunt, in the dimmest night
with wit and wisdom, a master’s touch
you showed us thrillers could be so much
not just blood, but the psyche’s maze
a storyteller’s crown, forever ablaze

English "Master of Suspense" director Alfred Hitchcock
would appear in his own movies, a character with bulk!
In "Psycho," one of his best movies from long ago,
Hitchcock's cameo appearance was at the start of that show.

Alfred Hitchcock
Filmed movies about folks which stalk.
If you watch one, don't let your fears overpower
You, or you'll never get into the shower!
Hitchcock is known to have been very fond
Of beautiful ladies whose hair was quite blond.
Kim Novak and Grace Kelly
Make men's brains turn to jelly,
And, also, this filmgoer to respond!
Ten times, I've watched every film Hitchcock has made!
Let's watch one in my lonely motel, can I persuade?
You know, maybe, one thing might lead to another,
But I'm not sure it would be OK with Mother.

on my ride home
from work i
witnessed
a crime
for sure
ly so
many
crows
were
flocking to
the city to
protest
what
was
to
be
a
banging
of bells and a
whistling of whistles
to keep them from roosting
and pooping on people though
a stupid solution hatched to keep
them from coming but now in numbers
they refuse to
be hassled or
rousted by the
man and his
unfortunate
understand
ingly less
then real
ity but
morbid
ity of
the word
human
kind
in no
way
to say
they are
kind but in their mind for now
they have consecrated these
crows to become a murder

Children in the schoolhouse
Chant a structured, uneasy song
“Risseldy-rosseldy
Mow-mow-mow"
Monkey Bars behind a bench...
She nervously lights a cigarette
Something is about to happen
A single crow lands.

After a thundering wet stormy night
I opened up the frig and had a fright
And out scrambled like it had an invite
Six frightening crab legs came and excite
Just out of Alfred Hitchcock movie write

Early morning rise, orange juice delight
When a six legged crab in the spotlight
Came scurrying at me with no invite

Alfred Hitchcock,
known for his awe and shock.
May have tried to impress Betty Hutton,
by surgically removing his belly button.
His belly button was surgically removed !!

Peaceful playground scene
Bars behind her smoke-break bench
A single crow lands...
