Gothic Poems

Rachel Lawson

The Ravens 
A flock of ravens floats upon the air over their prey, 
Like a looming black storm cloud of gloom, 
In the later hours of the death of the day, 
They fight each other for room, 
In the melee, one is injured it falls, 
Blood and gore fill the air, 
The air is filled with their dire calls, 
Little did the observers of this carnage care, 
To them, it was merely a display of the nature of the raven, 
Upon the hour they fled, 
They were neither crazed nor craven, 
They were happy and well-fed.

Stumblings

Keith Ravenscroft

‘Better to have questions you can’t answer than answers you can’t question.’
 
The author describes these poems as ‘stumblings’ because they are stumbling attempts to understand what can seem beyond understanding. In his writing he confronts the issues that are inescapably a part of being human, as he sees them playing out in the maelstrom of his own life. He takes us into areas of desperation, confusion, even despair, but also of acceptance, fulfilment, ecstasy, obstinate faith, and above all of tender love.
 
The poems range widely through philosophical musings, urgent questioning about what it is to be human, irony, self-mockery, overwhelming passion – and always with an intensity that acknowledges that everything matters, everything has meaning if only we could decode it. And throughout this volume the writer attempts to comprehend and reach the elusive God who 
he believes in but fails so comprehensively to connect with as deeply as he longs to. 
 
Any readers who are prepared to stumble with the writer on this poetic journey through life may find themselves in a place where they can at least begin to understand, accept, and even glory in their imperfect humanity as the writer does. And maybe hope to stumble into Grace, 
enlightened and affirmed.

A Deeper Anthology

Perry Douglas Sisk

I currently reside in Texas where I have established my home and lead a solitary life. I am a 28-year survivor of HIV which I contracted through a blood transfusion while serving in the military in 1983, following an oral surgery procedure. In my retirement, I have dedicated my time to fishing, engaging in home improvement projects, and pursuing my long-standing passion for writing songs and poems which I have honed over a period of 35 years. 
As an individual imbued with a strong sense of spirit, I believe that all of us possess an innate potential for compassion, albeit to varying degrees. Through my poetry, I seek to convey this inherent quality to those who may not be fully aware of it, but who need gentle reminders that they too are capable of empathy. I trust that my literary works will bring peace of mind and awareness to individuals navigating the stresses of our fast-paced, ephemeral existence, and provide solace by imbuing hope for a better tomorrow, informed by my personal experiences. Ultimately, my objective is to leave behind a brief legacy that inspires others to connect with their humanity and the compassion that resides within them.
