MOZART`S DEATH "VAMPIRE" Book One "ALUCARD"
In Vienna, in 1790-91, police were mystified over a series of deaths of young women who seemed to have been drained of blood, possibly by some apparatus attached to their necks. There were eight murders in 1790 of poor impoverished women, and four more in the early months of 1791.
Investigation into these deaths was cursory since the women were presumed prostitutes and there was little public outcry.
However, starting in June of that year, there were four more deaths of young women under the same peculiar circumstances. These young women were of Society, one of distant royal birth, and the police scrambled for solution, to no avail. The last of these deaths occurred in November, 1791, and suddenly Vienna was free of this evil.
Van Helsing continued; there was information in the society pages, in the same two years, of the temporary residence in Vienna of a Count Vlad Tepes from Roumania. This was the same Count Tepes, using the name Dracula, who van Helsing`s grandfather had battled 100 years later!
The newspaper clippings were almost entirely an account of Tepes` attendance at performances of symphonic music and opera, usually written by Wolfgang Mozart. In the year 1791, Mozart was in the last year of his life and was working on his massive “Requiem ", his first religious piece in eight years. He finally succumbed to what was called "feverish illness", "anemia" or "consumption".
Given the murders in Vienna, Dracula`s hate of the Catholic Church, and Mozart`s mysterious death on December 1, 1791, it was evident to the first van Helsing that the end of the murders was due to Dracula`s returning to his native land shortly after Christmas, 1791. And it was equally clear that he had accomplished his task, that of the murder of Mozart, before he could complete his liturgical masterpiece!
Van Helsing sat next to me and took my hand. "Carrie, tomorrow evening, The Opera Company of Philadelphia is producing "Die Zauberflote", "The Magic Flute", Mozart`s last great public success in Vienna, which was being performed during the time of the murders. I have no doubt that Alucard will be attending, and I have no doubt that he will approach us there. Tomorrow night, you and I will be attending the opera!"

A Collage Of My Paintings In PSP [Draculucky by my son]
" There`s Something Wrong With Her "
There`s something wrong with her
A certain sadness, lingers in the air
Pronounces her passing,
as clouds conceal the warming rays.
Lifelong burdens, never truly gone,
The grimace in her sometimes smile
reveals the weight of destiny.
People question her activity
the glee she sees in mural`s lens
captured one by one
and every day a symphony.
Yet lying down at night, alone
awaiting Somnus` divine repose
She cannot help but think of things,
denying life its happiness.
The nights are endless, yet
an inkling, a spark is kindled
from the beauty
a mural allowed her.
In reverie, she thinks
of butterflies and flowers
of children`s smiles
of moonlit nights
and stars divine.
Awakened with a start,
a smile upon her lips,
she stretches like a kitten
her thoughts in happiness.
Perhaps the mural
brings focus to her life
What is gone is done
and Art is happiness.

Giaccomo Puccini " La Boheme "
The arias when Rudolfo and Mimi first meet are, for me, the most beautiful, most romantic. PLEASE CLICK on the Title Words. The Arias, in Italian, can be heard as you read the words! {Thanks, Ayn}
"Che gelida manina" Rodolfo [second stanza]Who am I? I`m a poet.
My business? Writing.
How do I live? I live.
In my happy poverty
I squander like a prince
my poems and songs of love.
In hopes and dreams
and castles-in-air.
I`m a millionaire in spirit.
But sometimes my strong-box
is robbed of all its jewels
by two thieves; a pair of pretty eyes.
They came in now with you
and all my lovely dreams,
my dreams of the past,
were soon stolen away.
But the theft doesn`t upset me,
since the empty place was filled
with hope.
Now that you know me,
it`s your turn to speak.
Who are you? Will you tell me?
Mi chiamano Mimi Mimi [first stanza]They call me Mimi,
but my real name`s Lucia.
My story is brief.
I embroider silk and satin
at home or outside.
I`m tranquil and happy
and my pastime
is making lilies and roses.
I love all things
that have gentle magic,
that talk of love, of spring,
that talk of dreams and fancies----
the things called poetry....
do you understand me?
