    About this ebook

    Looking out upon an external world, which seemingly appears transformed by the light from a gothic window, is ... where J J Ginty likes to sit and consider his poetic observations - exploring the deeper psyche within his gothic outlook. Viewing motifs from the extraordinary and other-worldly, to espying themes from the more ordinary and down-to-earth. 

    These reflections are introspective; largely inspired by the author's own personal encounters, exploits and inscapes; thus creating this poetry piece; found to be encrypted with interpretations and comprehensions from within - designed by life's worldliness from without.

    Views From A Gothic Window is a selection of poetry and prose, which is intriguingly dark in nature; though, it does occasionally permit a little comedy and sentiment to tiptoe it's way into the foreboding and peculiar imagery ... of the natural & supernatural; the normal & paranormal.

    This book is the second in a series dedicated to viewing the external world (and it's seductive, unworldly inner-natures) from a beautifully gothic perspective.

    Author

    J J Ginty

    J J Ginty is an eclectic writer who is indeed a poet by nature and selection; and beautifully exhibits his artistry through the composition of verse and prose. An author who could perhaps write about any theme in any place, in any time, or any space. Composing his work to suit almost any style, and almost any taste. Having a propensity towards the darker characteristics of life (and death); whether they'd be real or surreal; natural or unnatural (supernatural); normal or paranormal; ordinary or extraordinary. It would be difficult to sum J J Ginty up as a writer; but for now, at least, it shall be said ... he is a writer/poet who has crafted his style to articulate the Dark and the Gothic.

      Dark Poetry, Volume 3 - J J Ginty

      THE CRYPT KEEPER

      It must be understood,

      The motley nature of these souls:

      Their many altering states of imposture

      Masquerades, which were long imposed

      Upon the caverns from behind their eyes

      Come long and winding decrees –

      These are explicit, nevertheless.

      Now the blackened silks drape

      To clothe the nakedness of their bones

      For we are happy! do say this row of fellows.

      ––––––––

      So hereby carried off into a pitch-like nothingness –

      It does though embosom much more than enough.

      Spiraling downwards into a void-like endlessness –

      Whereby decrees shall remove imposture

      And masquerades shall no longer impose.

      There coiling along a twisted stairwell

      To fathom beyond the foot of the shadows

      The barest entrance snakes its trail into the crypt

      For this here happy row of fellows

      Sharing their motley natures with my
