Trying

I try to smile 

Despite the vengeance looking at me.

Covered in your tomato paste

A man of many parts

I try to forget

Even the perfume of your passing

Lingers on.

More problems now

With all your bits and pieces

I try to run

And pinioned to this spot

In acres full of you,

Of dust and bones 

I try to remember

All our going on

To tie up the systems

Neat finale.

I try to ween

With you looming large in my cell 

Of problems to the grave

I try, I try

To unravel enigmas

And each way I turn 

I’m still holding you.

I try to breach

The broken dreams that spring

On chivered ends.

I try to smile but your not smiling now

In April death is dead

And the new life lives

Upon our garbled inquest

Silver Boy

I see my life,

In the eyes and the sights

Of the silver boy in November

They file past his bed as if he were dead 

And refuse to even, remember.

It’s as if the person

Held him dead,

Unnisen. In deep space-black November

Initialed DN 7/11/83 - 7th of November 1983

Different shifts in handwritting on different pages totaling 104 pages.

Great drawings and different accounts and stories. So many pages I cannot put them all in auction pictures but there is drawings pointed out as being also different body positions, victim drawings done by himself. I would say the book is signed and I’ve seen at least 5 signatures minimum from Dennis Andrew Nilsen to Dennis Nilsen with also DN initials.

Recent letters from 2000-2015 typed with a Dennis signature are commanding 400-500$ as we speak. Anything handwritten is very rarely seen and pre trial letters are even more difficult to come by. There is even Nielsen’s arrival recorded inside this diary by his fellow neighbor. A pre trial and post trial diary journal with all the Informations like this one on 104 pages is just never came up for sale. I haven’t seen one before.
