Gothic Lover

Gothic Lover

A Poem by Cardinal Robin

 

Gothic Lover

 

 

Warmed into Gothic

I was never born

so I can never die

I am not Alpha not Ever

nor Again and Again

 

I am an extrapolation

of infinite span well over

The Golden Arches of Omega

 

In the Halls of Never More

Bliss is the Death of Everness

and in the Soil of Souls

the Vampire Sisters

are Succubine playthings

 

My blood does not run

it has no freeze nor burn

it feels naught, zero, nada

 

Brethren in my Coven

know We are not Kings.

We do not create the circles

so our covenants are never broken.

 

Life is a wooden Token

of what dreams could have been

in a smoke and mirrored hall

stretching bonds less than

arcane Trinity and other

man made notions of Divinity

 

The foulest most cruel drivel

leads to bonds of shallow

Grave thinking backwards

 

Dark and Light

Good and Bad

Zeitgeist did you

really evolve at all

through your terrible Two’s?

 

Pray Thee you and a True friend

get your spirits together then to mend

and there I am with thee

 

And we shall partake of oysters

and horseradish lemoned lightly

and Eros and Handmaidens

will continue to string along

the forces of Love Unrequiting

 

 

For the rest of our eternities…

Unrequiting should read 'Unrequitting' I believe - otherwise a creative work - I like the notion of partaking in oysters and horseradish lemoned lightly - nicely worded as are so many passages in this work. I do not claim to understand the Gothic mentality (perhaps you can fill me in more, Robin) if this is what this is about but as a read this is enjoyable and sustaining. Thank you.

I love the juxtaposition of time and timelessness. "Bliss is the death of Everness," the transcendence of time/space on one hand, "And in the soil of soils," within time/space on the other hand. And, what a joy it is to know both simultaneously. I also like the question you pose, "Zeitgeist did you really ever evolve through your terrible Two's?" In this, I have an image of human beings ignorant of who they truly are, creating derision, division, and judgment in the face of the gift we have been given, to experience freely the wonders of space/time. This is going into my favorites list, Robin! Much love to you, my friend.....

nice...i enjoyed it...
it gave me a sense of diabolical darkness
and the perfect imagery of Lestat and how he feels
he's enjoying this realm of darkness and what comes with it
on the other hand he is frustrated my immortality
but tries to make the best of it

very nice, i had a visual of Lestat, pleased with himself, but trapped at the same time and making the most of eternity... all the while enticing others to join in the 'fun'... i love the darkness of this.
