A moonlit lake seen through a broad picture window above an empty sofa. In the glass, a faint remembered scene shows a young woman with straight sandy-blonde hair playing piano while a young person with chin-length blond hair reclines on the sofa, eyes closed. Warm lamplight contrasts with the dark lake. Bottom branding reads “Tittu” and “tristanrobertlange.com,” beside a TRL crest.

i can hear you
there, near the

picture window

of your parents’
lake community house—

there, my soul,

by the picture window—
sofa-lined,

there i sat
eyes closed
open in a universe of

sacred sound—
Beethoven’s
moonlight masterpiece
brought to life

by you, there—

like my poetry
lampblack inked

into your walls—

goth rocked—

there, no more.
haunted, a miasmic

memory—

there
no
more—

just a black
eventless horizon
on the northern shore

of nevermore

An early recording of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, from when I was just getting started recording with virtual instruments. Rough around the edges, but it’s mine and fits this poem well. 🖤🎹

Tristan Robert Lange
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.
