Gothicpoetry Stories

Welcome to the dark side of poetry ~

A collection of poetry about death, sorrow, intense emotions and my own personal feelings about the world around me

My dream is to write a novel before I die... I dunno how far I will succeed in that dream but this book serves as a step in a positive direction. I am gradually creating my own mythos, a mythos that i cannot even fathom. It transforms over time, from prose to poetry, grave to gothic, epic to empathic. What I upload to this book will be chapters of short stories and poems, or both intertwined, and will serve as practice for me. I would really appreciate it if all those willing will critique my work so that I can mature as a writer. Thanks in advance to all who read this (If anybody indeed does) and for your insight.

"The Well, the Well; Calling out from the waters of hell-- Legions lost to the murky aquamarine; The air of the valley, thin like a dream." -- A poem about a haunted spot in the woods.

Short poem

my own original work poems of grief, love, pain, and lust.

This poem explores the deep pain of loss and the struggle to maintain sanity amidst overwhelming grief. The speaker vividly expresses feelings of despair, isolation, and the haunting presence of dark thoughts. With powerful imagery, it captures the chilling absence of peace and the fragility of hope. The poem ultimately reflects the relentless battle against inner turmoil, offering a poignant insight into the complexities of emotional suffering and the search for solace in a world filled with pain.

A short poem about when satisfaction either drowns you or never gets there.

"ʜᴇᴀᴅꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴅɪᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴀ ꜱᴏʀʀᴏᴡꜰᴜʟ ᴍɪᴅɴɪɢʜᴛ- ʙᴜʀᴅᴇɴᴇᴅ ʙʏ ᴀ ᴍᴏꜱᴛ ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴘʟɪɢʜᴛ; ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍꜱ ꜰᴀᴅɪɴɢ ꜰᴀʀ ᴀᴡᴀʏ ᴀʟᴏɴɢꜱɪᴅᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ- ꜱᴏ ᴇʟᴏQᴜᴇɴᴛʟʏ ᴅɪᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ɴɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴᴠɪᴛᴇ." -- A poem.

A woman roams the shadowed woods, consuming not flesh but emotions, memories, and desire. Her hunger is endless, driven by a yearning to fill the void within. *The Hunger That Knows No End* explores the fine line between longing and fulfillment, darkness and light.

Writing poems for the blues. To let my inner voice have her own podium. Just for fun actually. Or maybe not, depends on how you interpret it, It still all depends on the human mind And heart in the end.

An anthology of Gothic poems.

Welcome are you ready to delve into a world with a deep connection to gothic dark poetry? Let me take you on a journey to fill your curiosity for your darker aesthetic interests. My facebook page is Beautifully Gothic Morbidly weird photos, poems and more

Burning through the 'fault lines' An obsidian rush towards the surface Rising from the depths of deception Departing, radiating in all directions Uncontainable. Poems for those who feel dropped off on the wrong planet, homesick for something indescribable.

I just wrote these out of boredom, frustration or because I felt tortured and depressed and decided to write these poems instead of cutting myself, which I never had done in the first place although sometimes I feel like I want to. Vote and comment please:-D (Discontinued)
