Curse of Mayweather House In RhymeA Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader
Curse
of Mayweather House In Rhyme
*
Lovers who felt the curse
Loved
each other
Like
the words in a poem's verse
Nothing
could extinguish their love
In
death’s dark sting
Love
will keep them searching
For
another spring
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
This
curse began
Many
centuries ago
Listen
children
And
you will know
A
Slave Trader
Brought
about this curse
Uttered
by his victim
Within
her demonic verse
He
brought destruction
Upon
everyone’s head
Ghosts
will walk
Neither
alive nor dead
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

Mayweather
House Cursed
All
those who crossed its threshold
A
beautiful voodoo priestess
Voiced
the curse on young and old
Steer
clear this house
Or
suffer and burn
On
the altar of James Hundley
He
caused my blood to churn
On
Mayweather House
I
cast my curse
In rhyme
I
chant my demonic verse
It
cannot be undone
Mayweather
House is mine
For
eternity long past
Till
the end of time
On
you James Hundley
I cast this curse
Your
death will come
And
there’s no reverse
The
curse you craved
Your
enemies to dread
My
curse has settled on you
Your
very own head
You’ll
die at sea
A
painful death
Sharks
gnashing frenzy
To
your very last breath
Your
brethren
Will
feel my wrath
Unless
they steer away
From
the Devil’s path
On
Devils Bluff
All
will die
My
voodoo curse
Has
gone awry
You
brought this curse
Upon
all you love
When
you donned
Your
whip and glove
One
and all
Beware
this curse
Or
be lost inside
My
demonic verse
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
My love blazed
For one far across the sea
Ripped
from my arms
By
Slavers’ terror spree
Cursed
is the land
Where
my blood was shed
Devils
Bluff is befitting
For
the dead
No
one will escape
There’s
nowhere to hide
Upon
this land
My
curse will reside
Hearts
ripped apart
In
darkest night
You’ll
search forever
For
the light
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
I
cast a curse upon your love
It
cannot be undone
And
so is the favored son
This
Curse of Mayweather House
Forever
takes its toll
Devouring
life from many a soul
Leora
Grace you'll die too soon
Way
before your time
Within
my demonic rhyme
The
price was paid
And
you are mine
Cursed,
trapped in time
You'll
search forever in the fog
Stumbling
behind the veil
Marring
your beauty pale
William
can't save you
From
the dark and gloom
A
dark and lonely tomb
Whilst
William roams
Devils
Bluff by night
Searching
for the light
William
gazes out to sea
Strangling
you will drown
Sinking
many fathoms down
An
antique box will surface
From
a watery grave
Release
the house you crave
Evil
has spoken
Do
not try to break this curse
Beware,
beware, I'm watching
I have cast my demonic verse
A
warning to all others
Do
not tempt your fate
You
too, lost in the fog
Your
life span will abate
Interfere
at you own peril
Of
this you must construe
You
too will be my victim
This
curse gone askew
My
curse takes root in England
Cross
the ocean loosed unbound
Curse
comes full circle round
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
On
Devils Bluff
Ghosts
walk by night
Sending
many screaming
At
their sight
Are
they to be pitied?
Or
should they be feared?
Ghostly
sounds are heard
On
the nights they appeared
Moaning
cries
Are
heard in the smog
That
rolls in from the sea
A
haunting fog
Dance
on the cliffs
Till
your mind is gone
Insanity
brought on
By
this evil spawn
Waves
call out
Beckon
victims close to the edge
Its
deafening song
Lures
weak minds off the ledge
Sane
minds return
As
each falls to their death
Awakened
in horror
With
your very last breath
In
the darkness of night
Your
foot will slip
Lost
in the fog
Losing
balance you’ll trip
Evil
is there
Gnashing
its teeth
Pulling
you down
To
the rocks beneath
Darkness
calls
Its
victims in
Blotting
all light
Evil
finds sin
Claws
glisten
In
the dark and gloom
Fangs
dripping venom
Primed
to consume
The
lighthouse strobes
Its sinister glow
As
the surging waves
Thrash
to and fro
Run,
don’t walk
From
this haunting spell
Or
join Teika this night
In
her torture cell
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Titanic
heard
Evil's
haunting call
Sending
shivers
To
one and all
Lifeboats
lowered
Into
the churning waves
Some
will live
Whilst
others go to watery graves
He
stands on the deck
Bids
her goodbye
Moments
later
Her
lover did die
Dark-haired
beauty
Cried
out a plea
Whilst
her husband
Died
at sea
He
joined Leora Grace
Haunting
the dark waters
The
dark-haired beauty
Is
now Evil’s daughter
Forever
searching
In
the fog
Behind
the veil
Nathan
and Natalie Alistair
Forever
wail
The
Leora called the Titanic
To
join the curse
Now
four are lost
Inside
my demonic verse
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Timothy entered this world
Second of the twins
Fighting for his breath
Bluish of skin
Older sister Sarah
Never drew a single breath
Her little heart was silent
Overwhelming was her death
Breath stolen by Evil
In this haunted house of hell
It tried to steal her brother’s breath
Making it a double kill … but well
Somewhere in the darkness
A spirit of light stepped through the veil
She held this evil force at bay
Allowing the child to breathe and wail
Timothy’s life spared that day
To further the family tree
Fathering Justin, Michael, and Lyndsey
To end Evil’s tyranny
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
He
walked out on the deck
By
night
In
the mist he sees her
Engulfed
in light
She
fades in and out
Like
the waves at will
Her
ghostly echo
Sends
a shivering chill
Joined
by another
Tall
and dark
Circling
below
A
man-eating shark
Together
they speak
To
his haunted mind
Soon
the three
Are
entwined
Auburn-haired
beauty
Feels
death sting
When
a knock is heard
Message
of woe to bring
Her
sanity lost
That
very night
Once
beautiful eyes
Absent
of light
A
shell of the beauty
He
held dear
Falls
from the bluff
Screaming
insanities fear
Swirling
wildly
Are
her auburn locks
Her
broken body
On
jagged rocks
A
British Officer
Floats
upon the waves
His
auburn-haired beauty
Is
now Evil’s slave
Calvin
and Judith Alderman
Have
joined the curse
Six
lost souls
Inside my demonic verse
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Six
spirits
Join
full force
Eyes
on the prize
They
stay the course
Enlisting
an old soul
To
complete their goal
Until
each half
Has
at last become whole
The
trios guide Nancy Lee
Through
the past
Walking
through time
When
the curse was cast
In
an altered state
She
watches and learns
To
lead the young ones
When
their aura returns
Spirits
of Light
Join
together with might
Shielding
all
From
Evil’s plight
Three
young couples
Separated
through death
Hearts
of love still beat
But
without breath
Alone
in the fog
They
stumble along
Connection
made
To
make them strong
Evil
cannot
Snuff
out their light
Together
their spirits shine
Lighting
the night
Spirits
of Light
Come
together as one
Evil’s
power
Will
be undone
Land-of-the-living
joins
The
underworld-of-the-dead
When
their paths cross
Evil
will dread
Evil
forced back
Through
the portal of hell
Breaking
Evil’s
Diabolic
spell
Freeing
the tortured soul who
Cast
the curse
Binding
Evil
In
its own demonic verse

Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

Six
English teens
Ventured
into the maze
This
one encounter
Enveloped
all their days
Joined
in their twilight years
Americans
from across the see
Their
hearts be joined
To
Lady Nancy Lee
Three
siblings try their best
To
end the Mayweather Curse
Love
released
Like
the words in a poems verse
Many
a relative
Claimed
to own
Not
realizing this quest
Leads
them to a cornerstone
An
antique box
Contained
the freeing key
One
would help them
The
teen now old
Known
as Nancy Lee
The
ghosts called out
Before
their love can fade
Nancy
Lee, lead the siblings
To
our aid
Years
have passed
Puzzle
is complete
Those
in bondage
Will
find their true love sweet
Time
has come full circle
Once
again
Time
has come
For
true love, to finally win

Three
siblings discover
An
antique box
Warnings
of death
Upon
the rocks
Secrets
revealed
From
a hidden past
Lost
ancestors
Discovered
at last
An
antique key
Opens
the box
Tick
Tock Tick Tock
Echoes
of many clocks
Sounding
their chimes
To
the spirit world this day
Time
has come
Stay
the course don’t stray
Mayweather
ghosts
Are
waiting for you
Whilst
Evil lurks
Its
curse gone askew
Atlantic
ghosts
Wait
on the waves
Wait
to be called
From
watery graves
Justin
remembered
A
beautiful ghost of long ago
Standing
in the corner
Gleaming
all a glow
Hush,
she whispered
Her lips emitted a foggy mist.
She vanished before his eyes
But did she really exist?
Michael,
a brave
And
trusting youth
Considers
himself
A
ghost-busting sleuth
He
has yet to see
A
ghost up close
The
closer it gets
More
excitement grows
Lyndsey
feels fear
Deep
down inside
With
her brothers
She
doesn’t confide
She’s
the mirror image
Of
Leora Grace
The
spirits of light
Long
to embrace
Siblings
three
Are
England bound
Curse
coming Full circle round
With
another three
They
will break the curse
Freeing
the ghosts
From
Teika’s demonic verse

Three siblings
With iron box in hand
Fly through the air
To take a stand
A quest to find
Their ancestral home
To learn about ghosts
On Devils Bluff they roam
Oh be cautious, oh be aware
Tread carefully this ghostly realm
Far from where eyes can see
Three spirits stand at the helm
Their arrival on English soil
Wakes the demon to destroy
All beware, it’s come to pass
Be on guard, golden haired lass
Stay the course … there’s
Safety in numbers
Siblings three
Count the trios 1-2-3
Join them now
Living and dead
Making them four
Then you’ll open the door
Be strong of heart,
Sane of mind,
Keep your cool,
That’s the rule.
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Alone in the fog
They stumble along
Connection made
Making them strong
Evil cannot
Snuff out their light
Together they shine
As love burns bright
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Past and present memories
Converge in the mind
As confusion builds
Memories
intertwined.
Myths and legends unwind
Keep those memories precise
Don’t allow your mind to wander
Always be concise
Ramblings of the aged
Sounds like senility
Listen closely and you will hear
Echoes of legibility
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

My
ghost emerged
From
the depths of the sea
To
right the wrong
That
was done to thee
I
heard your cries
I
saw the chain
With
each crack of the whip
I
felt your pain
I
saw the Evil lurking about
At
a picnic
And
there was no doubt
Tommy
Lee was the one
He
cursed your love
In
that cellar dank
I
looked down from above
I
walked with you
Upon
the ship
I
was there
I
saw you slip
Into
the swirling waves
You
fell
I
looked on
But
who could I tell
I
watched him morn
And
grieve his loss
The
child of love
Left
a toss
He
died
Of
love’s sweet sorrow
But
awoke
To
Evil’s tomorrow
Roaming
Devils Bluff
By
night
Enlisting
others
In
his plight
She
followed suit
Calling
them in
To
roam dark waters
Until
the end
I
watched
The
great ship sink
Bringing
others
To
the brink
Many
would die
But
only one arose
His
great love lost
In
insanity’s repose
A
Naval ship
Downed
at sea
I
heard the cry
Of
the banshee
One
to death
One
gone insane
Each
one forever
Feels
the pain
I
was there
On
the day of your birth
The
Evil took your breath
It
knew your worth
Three
siblings too
I
know them well
Who
am I?
I
will not tell
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

Haunting
friendships
Linked
somewhere in time
Generation
apart
But
hearts link sublime
True
sisters in heart
As
well as the mind
Together
forever
Three
intertwined
I
watched
As
each came into being
Destined
a trio
Of
haunting agreeing
Each
stepped into
This
haunted realm
Long
before William
Stood
at the helm
Two
may be young
The
other old
All
three cut
From
the same mold
Of
destiny’s child
Three
will learn
Paving
the way
For
his return
He
will be part
Of
another trio to come
Revealing
His
true dad and mum
All
is made clear
Of
this puzzle rhyme
His
identity
Will
be known soon in time

Twas
spring when Nathan joined
Leora Grace in her search
Natalie
joined William
The
lighthouse their only church
Nathan
made sure
Natalie
was safe in the boat
He
waved goodbye
His
last sight was Natalie afloat
The
great boat sank
With
Nathan standing on its deck
Natalie’s
tears fell
Watching
the famous shipwreck
The
great ship sank
Deep
beneath the ocean swells
Natalie
heard in the distance
The
sound of another ship’s bells
Too
far away, the Carpathia
To be
of any help at all
Others
heard, but did not believe
Titanic’s
distress call
Ghostly
duos roam at will
Still
there’ll be two more
A
beautiful redhead
A
naval officer fighting a war
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

Calvin
completed
The
Atlantic trio of ghosts
Judith
joined William and Natalie
On
the Bluff off the coast
Calvin
saw the ghosts
While
walking on the deck by night
She
was surrounded
By
a golden light
A
few days later his ship sank
But
only he was lost
Judith’s
grief was double now
Her
little girl had crossed
Judith
went mad
Forgetting
her daughter’s twin
Even
the babe’s tiny cries
Never
penetrated within
The
child couldn’t stop
His
mother’s sadness
Judith
was engulfed
Within
her mind of madness

Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

Antique box has surfaced
From many watery graves
Release the house you crave
Evil
has spoken
Do
not try to break this curse
Beware,
beware, I'm watching
I have cast my demonic verse
A
warning to all others
Do
not tempt your fate
You,
too, lost in the fog
Your
life span will abate
Interfere
at you own peril
Of
this you must construe
You,
too, will be my victim
In
this curse gone askew

The
Curse of Mayweather House
Be
laid to rest
Lovers
defeat Evil
Finally
pass the test
They’re
fight till the end
This
haunting Curse
Love
will conquer
Teika’s
demonic verse
Mayweather
House punished
All
that crossed its threshold
Beautiful
voodoo princess
Voiced
the curse on young and old
Steer
clear this house
Or
suffer and burn
On
the altar of James Hundley
He
caused my blood to churn
On Mayweather House
I cast my curse
In
rhyme
I
chant my demonic verse
It
cannot be undone
Mayweather
House is mine
For
eternity
Long
past the end of time
My curse
takes root in England
Cross
the ocean loosed unbound
Curse
comes full circle round
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
Leora
Grace
Your
gown of white
Hidden
Where
there is no light
Away
from prying eyes
That
tell
Inside
my secret
Torture
cell
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul
*
My
heart was pure
But
Evil took hold
How I
wish
My
flesh had been sold
To a
gentle master
With
my sanity in tack
No chains
or whips
Ripping
my back
*
Curse of Mayweather House took its toll
Devouring life from many a soul

The
time you’ll know
When
it comes
You’ll
hear the sound
Of
Satan’s drums
Calling
to battle
His
evil horde
Each
demon armed
With
a fiery sword
Face
your fears
Stand
your ground
When
this curse comes
Full
circle round
Those
who live
And
those at rest
Will
come together
And
pass the test
Join
hands
Ye
spirits of light
Encircle
the chosen
At
the stroke of midnight
On
the anniversary
Of my
tortured soul
Consumed
with evil
That
took its toll
Darkness
of evil
Can’t
exist in the light
When
love bands together
Defeating
the night
Hearts
of love
Will
break my curse
And
free us all
From
my demonic verse
Torture
made me evil
I
wasn’t evil from the start
Innocence
lost in pain
By
James Hundley’s evil heart
Chained
to the ceiling
Agony
flamed this curse
Screams
in the night
Help me to reverse
Each
crack of the whip
Burned
my delicate skin
I
opened my mouth
My
voice found sin
To
all involved
Hear
my echoes in the rain
Count
the lashes and …

James Hundley fueled my sin
Victims paid the cost
I felt helpless
So many lives were lost
I’m stepping out
Of my dance of pain
Listen for echoes
In the rain
My haunting vow
Curse be undone
Teika prays
James Hundley hasn’t won
My love stands waiting
To take me home
He’s waited long
On swirling foam
*
Beginning in England,
but West Virginia bound
Back to the British
Isles full circle round
