It was called Dark Shadows.
And it’s still one of my favorite shows.

To you my Heiroglyphic Monad,

In a world of make believe
Inside my T.V. screen
I was mesmerized by a show,
The likes I'd never seen.

Barnabas, Quentin and Angelique;
Inhabitants of Collinsport, Maine
Lived a life like no others.
To miss it caused me pain.

This tale...
