Gothic Dream Poems

I heard the dogs howl in the moonlight night;

I went to the window to see the sight;

All the Dead that ever I knew

Going one by one and two by two.



On they pass'd, and on they pass'd;

Townsfellows all, from first to last;

Born in the moonlight of the lane,

Quench'd in the heavy shadow again.



Schoolmates, marching as when we play'd

At soldiers once—but now more staid;

Those were the strangest sight to me

Who were drown'd, I knew, in the awful sea.



Straight and handsome folk; bent and weak, too;

Some that I loved, and gasp'd to speak to;

Some but a day in their churchyard bed;

Some that I had not known were dead.



[11]A long, long crowd—where each seem'd lonely,

Yet of them all there was one, one only,

Raised a head or look'd my way:

She linger'd a moment—she might not stay.



How long since I saw that fair pale face!

Ah! Mother dear! might I only place

My head on thy breast, a moment to rest,

While thy hand on my tearful cheek were prest!



On, on, a moving bridge they made

Across the moon-stream, from shade to shade,

Young and old, women and men;

Many long-forgot, but remember'd then.



And first there came a bitter laughter;

A sound of tears the moment after;

And then a music so lofty and gay,

That every morning, day by day,

I strive to recall it if I may.

This World

in this world

am i here

taken by your stride

showing me to hide

away from what i fear



distorted images

are disturbing me

letting me see

what i will be

as if a reverie



taken away to see

what had happened again to me

lifeless for the dangers taken

she was distorted in fragrent death



for the longer she kept

the longer they wept

at her body sinking into the sea

is this the fate for me



never had i seen a thing of such grace

falling away from the darkness of this world

and hated in me

i should see

still i left her be



thrashing waves taking her

my loss controling my mind

i stood and watched

as i stabbed him from behind



he'd taken her away from me

so i took a knife and showed him

the blackening world as he left this earth

and fell into hell unlike my kim



water blue as the sky

and filled with dangers

after the blood stained the sands

the water just restrained her



taking her final breathe

the light coming through the surface

no hand to pull her up

i stared at the water and saw the race



was it me holding her down

or just me not allowing her to come back

forsaken to the depths of darkness to drown

she can never take back the crown



but now do i feel better as she's died

or just hate myself more

for i could have lived with the lie

that she never actually loved me

and used me for what i could do

i gave her what i had

my heart and my secrets



blood soaks the sand

water floods the lungs

i shall never speak of this tragedy

of my love for her undone



forsaken to my just like my tongue

for i let her know how i felt

so she went away with him

and all the blood spilt



cruelty spoken to me

hating the way she took away my heart

drowning in the sea

is myself along side her

whilst we are still torn apart

Within Darkness Of Night
00:56 Jan 01 2009

"Within the darkness of night,

Bring forth the black rose,

For thy morbid mistress awaits,

Hear the mortals screams as she wakes,



Her beauty shines from the darkness

within her eyes,

Skin white as snow and eyes dark as sulphur,

Oh what I would give for her,

Just to hear her call my name,"



What I would give,

For her to be mine,

I'd dig my grave,

For I want her beauty to be mine,



Oh what hath spawned

that evil vixen from hells gate,

But only from lucifers mouth,

Can her freedom be set,

She walks the path of darkness,

That will always be met,



She mourns the day,

And with the darkness comes

her appetite to feed on human flesh,

Morbidity within her soul,

and hatred for those who do not know,

Of the life that they could have,



Though darkness has claimed her soul,

She walks as though she doesn't know,

The end for her is near,

And it is truly clear,



"Remember the days,

with the sun and it's rays,

when it shined upon us,

no judgement was passed,

and we walked free in the world,"



Is it true what they say,

There is no beauty without cruelty,

Though to take her life from her,

Would be far worse

than she could ever do,



"now we feel the pain of it all,

for our memories kill her,

and I cannot lose her,

for she is so cruel."



Her sins cannot be unmasked,

For she is the devil within our thoughts,

And pain she seeks cannot be reaped,

From the minds of mortal men,



"as the night closes in

and shadows lengthen across the land,

the mistress rises to take my hand,

her hands as cold as death

and eyes as dark as dusk,

yet I can see the cruelty

in her face but adore her musk,"



with all her beauty and flesh adored,

she took my hand and

delivered the visions

of the life she has led,

pain swept through my body

as I fell to the floor,

screaming in agony,



I saw her life through her eyes,

Felt the feelings that she despised,

And the screams of her victims,

For they hadn't moved from her mind,



And from the pain she'd given to me,

I received an eternity as she was,

Damned and departed from the lord,

Not that I wanted to be of the light,



Morbid Mistress,

Thy Morbid Mistress,

Morbid Mistress,

Thy Morbid Mistress,



My blood runs cold eternally for thee,

The Night As Eternity

This Night as Eternity

night falls upon the forest

the stars shine bright

revealing the haunted masks

of the dead souls taking flight



look beyond the windowsill

watch as they fly

aurora surrounding them

makes you want to cry



close your eyes

and go to sleep

i'll protect you

so don't weep



oh, beyond your smile

oh, sleep tonight

oh, the haunted mile

oh, the love filled tile



into the night sky they leave

bringing light unto the fern

they died because of love

and for love they will return



the world is brighter

now that you have appeared

now that i'm with you my love has seared

into the dark i will never ride

and into my heart you will never hide



don't worry my dear

nothing will take you away

you have nothing to fear

for with me you will stay



sleep forever if you wish

i'll stay with you

my heart is your hearts dish

to feed and true



oh, beyond your smile

oh, sleep tonight

oh, the haunted mile

oh, the love filled tile



don't worry my love is true

i will always wait for you

nothing makes me want to leave

and i hope nothing makes you too



beyond this world there is so much more

to make you look more beautiful

though it is hard to imagine

but your beauty cannot be fulfilled



entwining are the trees

reaching together for unity

they wish they could have what we do

you have made me fall in love with you



close your eyes

and go to sleep

i'll protect you

so don't weep



the world is brighter

now that you have appeared

now that i'm with you my love has seared

into the dark i will never ride

and into my heart you will never hide



as i look into your eyes

i can feel myself falling

into your heart

i want to stay crawling



the darkness unvails

your perfect face

behind the skin pale

is a heart that beats



the spirits dissappear

as i kiss your wine red lips

happiness devours me

as time strips

slowing down

making the moment an eternity



oh, beyond your smile

oh, the reverie mile

oh, entwining lovers

oh, spirits discover



i just wish this night would never die

forever you and me

take me with you everywhere

even into death for i'm in love with thee

Old Canal Waters

The waters of the old canals are mentally feeble,

so mournful, among the dead towns, along the quais

trimmed by trees and gables in rows, which,

in this impoverished water barely show,



aged waters lacking fortitude; malingering, deprived

of all impulsion to steel themselves against the breeze

that furrows them with too many ripples

Oh sad waters that go to weep



beneath the black bridges and are afflicted,

these waters obliged to wear reflections, truly enslaved

are they to what seems to them an unyielding burden.

But so ancient, that on the shimmering surface



they lose what reflects, as they lose a memory

and spin them out in confusions of grey mirages.

Waters so grief-stricken, they seem about to give in,

why so naked and already of nothing?

What is their problem,



lost in their slumber and embittered dreams,

are they nothing more than a deceitful frosted mirror

where the moon herself can barely endure?

Alone
00:52 Jan 01 2009

To live as in exile, to live seeing no-one

in the vast desert of a town that is dying,

where one hears nothing but the vague murmur

of an organ sobbing, or the belfry tolling.



To feel oneself remote from souls, from minds,

from all that bears a diadem on its brow;

and without shedding light consume oneself

like a futile lamp in the depths

of dark burial vaults.



To be like a vessel that dreamed of voyage,

triumphal, cheerful, off the red equator

which runs into ice flows of coldness

and feels itself wrecked without leaving a wake.



Oh, to live this way! All alone…to witness

the wilting of the divine soul's white flowering,

in contempt of all and with none the wiser,

alone, alone, always alone, observing

one's own extinction.
