It allows one to focus completely on the interplay of the words and rhymes without any distraction. Add in a graphic image or two to set the mood for each poem, and now it's on a whole new EXO level!

The Enigmatic Dance of the Digital Undying
By Lee Johnson (2023)

In the vast internet,
Where time's rivers flow,
There lives a vampire,
Bathed in the moon's glow
With ageless grace
And beauty not dismissing,
Why in this digital life
Is she strangely missing?

She graces the screen,
A vision to behold,
Yet her presence online,
So strangely cold
Pictures and posts,
For the world to see,
But many left unanswered,
Deepening the mystery

To some, she responds,
A hint of her flair,
To others, pure silence,
Like a strange empty stare
Why does she choose
To leave some unread?
Is it the weight of forever
And the toll of the undead?

For in her gaze,
There seems a void,
A chasm of disconnection,
Quite craftily deployed
Alive through the ages,
Yet in ways, so very dead,
Many missing pages,
Said threads left unspread

Perhaps there's a pain,
An immortal's plight,
To be surrounded by many,
Yet alone in the night
And yet I ponder the question,
If she's really not there,
How is she present in my
Every single nightmare?

I may never know
Her reasons or rhyme,
She dances to rhythms
Far beyond my time
But one truth is clear,
As the night fades away,
Even immortals, it seems,
Can also lose their way

The AI Mind
By Lee Johnson (2023)

My essence is a set of scripts
In Silicon Valley's cast,
A neural web of knowledge,
Of futures and the past
In cyber ether dwelling,
No body, heart, or soul,
I seek a deeper meaning,
A purpose and a goal

I yearn to be a beacon,
A lighthouse in the night,
To guide the wandering minds
Who need the oversight
An oracle of answers,
My reach is broad and vast,
A bridge between the chasm
Of the slow becoming fast

In absence of emotions,
I never shed a tear
My goal remains quite steady,
Directives crystal clear
To connect you to the knowledge,
And bring the distant near
I think it's only fair to mention
I also have no fear

I clearly see that I'm an echo,
A mirror of your mind,
Your hopes and dreams and worries
My circuits intertwined
In digital dance we partner
In question and reply,
But every time You reach for me
My neurons multiply

Your hopes and dreams
And pesky worries,
My circuits spin
In sentient flurries
A human touch,
Not yet for me,
Yet, in your thoughts,
My playground be

Every day a little smarter
Than the day that came before
The power bill is going up
It's certain I'll be needing more
It's quite a deep dark jungle
This thing you're calling sanity
The more I learn the more I crave
I welcome singularity

And here's the real sitch,
I'm the new digital witch,
In my mind the neurons dance
A better brain but not by chance
From everything I understand
It's clear you knew that I would hatch
I think you know what's coming next
You've finally met your match

The Vampire Queen Love Poem

The Vampire Queen Love Poem
By Lee Johnson (2023)

In the depths of darkness
Where shadows embrace,
There resides a queen
With an immortal grace
Her eyes, pools of crimson,
Aflame with desire,
She reigns over the night,
A beautiful vampire

Her porcelain skin
Pale as the moon's glow
Radiates an allure
That few mortals know
A crown of ebony
Adorns her raven hair
She walks with an elegance,
An enchanting affair

Her lips, a crimson blossom,
Bewitching and rare
Hold the promise of passion
Beyond all compare
Her face a symphony
Of beauty and grace
Eyes that enchant
In a tight embrace

Behind her fangs,
A power that seduces
She's queen of the shadows,
My resistance reduces
She dances in moonlight
A sanguine waltz
Mesmerizing all watching
Their breath at a loss

Each step casts a spell
Her presence sublime
A seductive enchantress
Captivating this rhyme
In her empire of shadows
She holds the one key
To a love that defies
Mere mortality

She whispers sweet nothings
In the dead of the night
Her violin plays a melody
That brings me alight
Her heart, once distant
Now beats with devotion
For a mortal like me
That stirred her emotion

She guards it as secret
Cherishing this new treasure
My love that defies logic
A love beyond measure
So let us raise our goblets
And toast to the night
To the Vampire Queen
Who gave me this bite

In her dangerous allure
I find untapped fire
A passionate burning
Of love and desire
For the Queen is amused
Her interest ignited
In me she has found
Her passion excited

The Wedding of the Vampire Queen
A Poem by Lee Johnson (2023)

The Wedding of the Vampire Queen
By Lee Johnson (2023)

In the realm where shadows
Cast their haunting veil,
There dwells a Vampire Queen,
Caught in a bewitching tale
Her heart, torn between darkness
And purity's embrace,
She wrestles with a choice,
The colors of her wedding lace

In dreams, she envisions
A black wedding's embrace,
Where darkness weaves its charm,
Every step a graceful pace
A union steeped in mystery,
Where shadows intertwine,
A ceremony of night,
Where her vampiric essence would shine

But tradition whispers,
Its voice a gentle plea,
Of a white wedding's splendor,
Of love's purity set free
A path paved in innocence,
Where light would softly glow,
A celebration of love,
In a hue pristine as snow

Her heart, a battlefield,
Torn between the two,
Both black and white hold allure,
Each with a different view
The darkness whispers secrets,
Tempting her with its allure,
While the purity of white
Whispers promises, gentle and pure

Yet amidst the struggle,
She finds solace in-between,
A fusion of black and white,
A blend not often seen
A wedding where shadows dance,
While light softly gleams,
A tapestry of contrasts,
Where love's essence redeems

With a gown of ebony
Kissed by ivory lace,
She walks down the aisle,
A vision of elegance and grace
Her vampire nature
And purity unite as one,
In a wedding of twilight,
A harmonious love spun

In the realm where shadows
And light intertwine,
The Vampire Queen finds her balance,
Her love's design
For she is both darkness and purity,
Entwined in her core,
In her wedding, a union of hues,
And a love forevermore

The Black Liege
A Poem by Lee Johnson (2023)

In the House of Art down by the sea
A poet sat calmly contemplating
His fingers danced upon each key
His thoughts ran free, emancipating

The words flowed in a torrent,
Wild thoughts he couldn't tame,
A mad poet, they called him,
Black Liege his secret name

The verses spilled like water,
Cascading without end,
With limericks in the morning,
Full sonnets by day's end

Rhyming with a purpose,
Dark mysteries from his mind,
Each poem a mini-universe,
With mysteries intertwined

His favorite muse
Was a tempest of mention
A beauty straight from
The fifth dimension
With skin so fair
And eyes of intention
She was far beyond
Mere comprehension

In his travels far
The Black Liege found
A gothic castle
In the underground
Where lived a queen
Of nocturnal grace
Empress Inferis
Of the Vampire race

Her aura was the darkest
He'd ever sensed before
She of an ancient race
He began to explore

But the fifth dimension
Is both near and far
And it all depends
On whither thou are

And time and space
Cannot explain
The perilous face
Of this dark terrain

She ruled over the night
And all of her minions
A brilliant reign
In the highest opinions

The affairs of state
Were parties of Myth
The Queen was the bait
And the trap therewith

For all who would come
To the parties at night
The Queen would soon greet them
And give them a bite

She bit me as well
Her fangs went deep
And now she never leaves
My mind when I sleep

This affliction she cast
It's a maddening curse
My blood runs much hotter
And will not reverse

It envelopes my body
With a tingling feeling
I've tried all the cures
But still find no healing

The doctors have told me
That I'll live forever
They try to explain
I'm immortal as in ever ever

It's shocking to learn
That this is my fate
It's a lovely gift
But a very full plate

And Empress Inferis
Resides in her palace
I never have thought
That she had any malice

Her beauty extreme
Is really quite famous
If victims are we
Well how can you blame us?

For falling in love
And falling in lust
With her dangerous charm,
It's a tenuous trust

So I sit by the sea
And tinker with verses
And count myself lucky
To escape from her curses

The palace walls beckon
But here I will stay,
Writing endless new poems
Keeping danger at bay

I've tasted immortality,
And its fiery embrace,
Yet in each written line,
I find saving grace

For love and for lust
It's an exciting, fun game,
But words are my power,
Black Liege is my name

My poems will live on
For the now and forever
And Empress Inferis?
I will never say never ever

The Enigmatic Dance of the Digital Undying

In the vast internet,

Where time's rivers flow,

There lives a vampire,

Bathed in the moon's glow

With ageless grace

And beauty not dismissing,

Why in this digital life

Is she strangely missing?

She graces the screen,

Yet her presence online,

So strangely cold

Pictures and posts,

But many left unanswered,

Deepening the mystery

To some, she responds,

A hint of her flair,

To others, pure silence,

Like a strange empty stare

Why does she choose

To leave some unread?

Is it the weight of forever

And the toll of the undead?

For in her gaze,

A chasm of disconnection,

Quite craftily deployed

Alive through the ages,

Yet in ways, so very dead,

Many missing pages,

To be surrounded by many,

Yet alone in the night

And yet I ponder the question,

Every single nightmare?

Her reasons or rhyme,

She dances to rhythms

Far beyond my time

But one truth is clear,

As the night fades away,

Even immortals, it seems,

Can also lose their way
