    About this ebook

    Nocturnal Sunrise is a collection of dark sombre verse reflecting the thoughts and memories of the author. Its deep and often menacing content reveals life as seen through her eyes. Each verse concentrates on the heart rendering pain explored within relationships, trying to capture the torment, pain and suffering that is felt when betrayed. Each poem tries to explore our deepest turmoil. Emotions we often refuse to recognise, demonising such thoughts as though they dont exist. By ignoring such observations we become lifeless corpses on our own empty stage of life.

    The idea of Nocturnal Sunrise grew out of a sadness that could never be lifted. Not unlike Pandoras box which should never have been opened. Happiness shattered within a blink of an eye. Some sorrow lasts forever, especially those of memories. Never to be erased, forever within. Not only during waking hours, but when night falls. How ordinary thoughts are consumed by vivid memories both destructive and deviant. Such feelings were the basis behind Nocturnal Sunrise. How influences and comparisons exist in each and every waking hour. Never leaving, eventually engulfing all worth and twisting love into an obsession of hatred. Hidden beneath the darkened veil of sorrow and sadness lies great passion within the poetry. It would be difficult to feel such pain if such love had not been experienced. This is reflected by the use of angelic references in Euphoria and Cherubs as well as counteractive deathly images within Grin and Worthless.

    A sporadic tale of realisation when true love is eventually found only to discover its darkened past. To delve into the deepest annals of human nature .The frustration felt when an injustice is done. Nocturnal sunrise compares the death of a relationship to that of a mortal. Each stage presents a different emotion with deepened sadness, blame, anger and ultimately revenge reflected in such poems as Crucifixion and Peaceful Revenge

    Seeped in gothic undertones and imagery Nocturnal Sunrise also challenges the notion love conquers all. Love causes pain, but there is a glimmer of hope scattered throughout the poetry with uplifting moments of joyous times. More pure memories. It is indeed a morose and melancholy read but the message is positive.

    Memories and thoughts wont fade
    not even for a while
    Reminders of our yesterdays
    dwelling deep inside

    Author

    Alison Strange-Green

    Alison Strange–Green was born and raised in the sleepy surroundings of South Wales. During her early adult years she moved to North West England, where she resided for over 15 years, eventually returning to Wales in her late 30’s. Her introspective personality is echoed within this collection of dark and atmosphere verse. The book reflects the author’s own observations of love, betrayal and revenge, through her own very private memories and thoughts. “A broken body in a broken cage What happens to me when I reach your age?”

      Summers Day

      Love shone between the murky clouds

      One fine summer’s day

      I gave you all the love I had

      Only to take it all away

      Angels danced inside my heart

      Now only to rear their heads

      Love it shines so dimly

      In every single way

      Replaced slowly by the tears

      Thoughts of one fine summer’s day

      Time

      Forever facing backwards

      The forward facing crowds

      Across the darkened laden muse

      Empty shadows cast

      Blistering shadows of the rain

      A mist that turns to dust

      Forever virtuous, silent

      images in stones of love

      Broken

      "Within the deepest minds

      The darkest souls hurt

      Each blackened sun is divine"

      Adrift

      Bleeding souls are broken

      Sirens lost at sea

      Dizzy heights of yesterday

      Only vibrant dreams

      Dirty, vivid, dusty voids

      Crippled, ravaged bones

      Soulless depths of ignorance

      Glimmering, shivering cold

      Grotesque happiness laid bare

      Meaningless pots of gold

      Thousand waves crashed ashore

      A view I cannot
