Dark Gothic Poem: A Crime. Dust settles on the floor, Footsteps, unseen and ignored Mark the path of the shadows That drift in between. Mettle in a fire’s flame Remains cold as ice, The air heavy with whispers That creep past bones that crumble. Shattered glass sparkles on the grass, Daggers to those who peak Into the forbidden walls Of something that falls, Disintegrating, becoming ashes That drift away into the wind. Darkness haunts the hearts of those who stray, Clawing at flesh and bone, Crying out in hopelessness As fear drives warmth away. Desolate and empty, The walls break, Joining the broken shards, So the captives may be released From their cage, and their bones Allowed to be found by those Who have been driven By the stench of death. Courtney Lowe.
Dark Gothic Poem: I Am. Bone deep, skin deep, Selfless, selfish, Heart beating, glass eyes, Bare truth, twisted lies. A mirror, two sides, A coin, heads or tails, Choose a path, Life, death, grasp or gasp. Pain, shame, numb Shield stripped away Who are you? An angel blessed or demon damned. Wings- free and unbound, or broken, Quicksand sucking you under, Fly little one, Unless you're a pretender, so fake. Shattered surface, your soul Screaming truth, a core A truth you must know, The sky or the floor. We don't always like what we see, But acceptance is the only way, Maybe there isn't one place, But a naked truth, beyond a simple face. Love, hate, live, die, Let your soul go free, Chains will only choke you, Let your heart lead, let your soul be, Forever truth, to face the mirror and say With pride, this is who I am- ME. Courtney Lowe.
Dark Gothic Poem: In Loving Memory of Sophie Lancaster. Taken to soon, By prejudiced hands, Forever in our hearts, Apart of the sky and land. Your death will not go in vain, Blind eyes now see, For simply your name Makes our deafened ears aware. We can no longer ignore what was What is, and what will continue to be, We must step forward, Protect those in need. You are in the very air we breathe, Urging us stand up to the very hate That made your body bleed. Your soul is not broken And you live on in our hearts, An eternal flame of hope, To show are saddened souls, Love is greater than hate, Greater than any shadow that could ever take hold. Courtney Lowe.
