Gothicpoetry Stories

Cover Made by Canva A piece I wrote about my journey from questioning the religion I grew up in to becoming a witch, embracing magic, discovering freedom and self-worth along the way. And learning that my power was within me all along.

THE ANATOMY OF DARKNESS A collection of poems about decay, death, grief, obsession, identity, loneliness, nightmares, mortality, and survival. There are things that break. Things that disappear. Things that die. And then there are the things that remain. The memory of a voice. The shape of an empty room. A name that refuses to leave. A wound that never completely closes. A flower that remains beautiful while it dies. The Anatomy of Darkness is a journey through the darker chambers of the human experience. Ten sections. Ten forms of darkness. And somewhere between the decay and the silence, a question remains: What survives when everything else is gone? - N. Nash

The Moor of Shadows A gothic narrative poem in five cantos. A bride. A raven. A moor that holds what the living cannot release. Written in the tradition of Poe and Shakespeare - where grief becomes landscape and mourning becomes myth.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 - 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔.. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 is a descent into the many faces of power: desire, rebellion, control, silence, surrender, ruin. Each poem is a voice. Each voice is a fragment of the same empire - the one that breathes beneath your skin. Once you enter, it will not let you leave unchanged.

The infuriating madness caused by bloodlust never ceases until it is quenched in full. Will the blood rain upon you, or will you be a part of the rain?

Poetry from 2021-2022

The 'Swan Song Synthesis' is the process of creation, be it art, music, writing, or whatever, beginning with the rush to grasp or 'bottle' a thought / memory or dream before it vanishes forever. The drive to create becoming an absolute necessity as after a while instead of needing to 'catch' them, they start to become real independently and rush in, demanding constant access to the physical world, causing a tidal wave which forever 'blends' the subconscious with the conscious, the physical with the metaphysical, as easily as mixing 2 colours on a palette. The need to let it all in, as the 'hyper - wired dominion' or human vessel 'attracts' it, then trying to push it out into the physical world, in spite of the inadequacy of the somatic state to keep up with the 'light energy' constantly rushing through. It is creation saying goodbye to eternity / infinity for a short while, to enter here and manifest in physical form, to exist in man - made time, in the same way that all life does. 𝓛𝓲𝓷𝓪

The brainchild of a dark winter's night. My darkest thoughts on death and morality recovered, compiled and translated into verse. Somewhat grim, infinitely deep and plenty of meaningful symbolism.

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.
