Welcome to Ocean Grove, New Jersey

A white marble statue of Jesus stands on an ornate Victorian porch near the ocean, extending one hand toward the shore. Its enormous shadow stretches in the opposite direction, pointing inland and away from town. Text along the bottom reads “Tittu” and “tristanrobertlange.com.” A Tristan Robert Lange monogram appears in the lower-right corner.

high society jesus
does just what pleases
those highfalutin’ sensibilities
of the white porch rhesus

escaping the city diseases
for those godly ocean breezes,
blowing down the pilgrim’s pathway—
did you know?—population increases.

wealthy soul salvation freezes
for serious hotel building—which eases
the financial needs of the town,
material abstinence thenceforth ceases—

still can’t buy wine for cheeses.
sing too loud?—the cop beat seizes
anyone who breaks the serenity code;
the cost to live is what squeezes.

come! but hope no one sneezes
and angers the white rhesus;
you’ll be shown the way out
by high society jesus.

Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
