Dedication
To the people who saved my life - my family and the Early Intervention Team.
Foreword
This work is my juxtaposition, my happy grimoire, taking you through my experience. Importantly, people will understand that Gothic culture is not just about vampires, werewolves, gore and death; it is about mortality itself, who we are individually and our place in society. A reflective, invasive study of ourselves. We respect ourselves and society with a philosophical view that not everyone agrees with. We, mostly, are interested in paganism, herbology and Wicca, but not directly involved in them completely.
In the midst of life we are in death.
Burial of the Dead, Anthem, Book of Common Prayer
We suffer, but gain experience and bury our unhappiness, our pain. It can leave us in silence, but we need somehow to find a medium in which to express ourselves.
This work is about my relationship with the world, the people around me and myself. I hope it marks the end of a journey for me - a painful part of my life. I hope others find the strength they need in difficult times or feel they are not alone through reading my words.
Poetry is for finding words to express how you feel - for lovemaking, life celebration, death or a wonderful dedication. Explore.
Ignis Fatuus
Spoiled clocks and artifices
Sinewy speckles of nuance in white-water eyes
In these rooms of shaded memories
We are felt in rebounded waves
Stripped drapes discarded, defiled
Torn clothes and cushions meted out on sodden sails.
Lifted from scrutiny
Raised from vanity
Taken by faith
Held by trust.
Spoiled clocks and artifices
Scuppered nightmares of rebellion in translucent eyes
In this room of captured actions
We were heard in rebounded waves
Stirring cushions, discarded, besotted
Drawn curtains of modesty at the owner’s behest.
Given a name of the devoted
Seen
