  • Bright Blushes of Color

    By Jason Zapata

    The trees shed their leaves
    In bright blushes of color
    When your hand – still warm with summer
    Reaches out and claims my own

  • A Public Service Announcement

    The recent tectonic activity that occurred on 8/24/11 has caused long dormant deposits of Solanum to be released. Solanum is the chemical agent responsible for the zombification process. These deposits were located near deep impact drilling sites throughout Pennsylvania. Already partially uncovered – the earthquakes along the Atlantic Seaboard released massive amounts of Solanum into our atmosphere.

  • Dance For Me

    By Jason Zapata

    From the refuge of a lonely rooftop
    I watch paupers and princes fight
    Their battles fill the streets below
    There’s no reason to get involved
    In the class warfare being waged
    So with a half blind, mute charm
    I walk self consciously amongst them
    Embraced as the King of Fools

  • I, Dracula: Part Three

    By Jason Zapata

    There are some divisions no force can reconcile
    My presence is a blasphemy the faithful resists
    To keep humanity ignorant such evil exists
    I dwelled in the Carpathian Mountains in self exile
    Power and wealth I began to gradually compile
    Plotting a conquest even God could not dismiss
    Fulfilling my role as adversary and antithesis
    The only purpose I held to be worthwhile

  • "A New Path"

    By Jason Zapata

    I will not allow this history to play out again
    My cyclical existence maintains but one purpose
    To force this restless spirit into conflict once more
    Fighting futile struggles with inevitable conclusions
    No longer will I participate in a self-perpetuating purgatory
    Haunted with the specters of unrequited love and defeat
    Accepting this fate would be an act of capitulation
    Decisions I’ve made created the circuit before me
    But I renounce those choices and walk a new path

  • ‘Stiltskin Inc.

    By Jason Zapata

    Perhaps I should have insisted on seeing an offer letter
    But during the interview process no one really suspects
    Their boss of being a gnome with a napoleon complex
    Tragically, the working conditions proved to be no better

  • The Rain

    By Jason Zapata

    It’s raining again in this world I carry
    A sky of troubled clouds drift ominously
    Over a turbulent sea whose waves crash
    Against the windswept shore I stand on
    The dull rumble of distant thunder sounds
    Reverberating throughout its somber depths
