    • hello dearest poet greetings…this is very masterfully written I can sense its heartbeat 💕

    • Okay, this took me a minute to break down. In the beginning, you give me an archaeologist digging up an Egyptian site, but then you put the chimera in, and that’s Greek. So that put me on pause.
      So I came to settle on this poem is about the Gods. (I could be absolutely bonkers with this one) Good piece.

      • Supernatural entities think they can create situations where they can feed on our thoughts & emotions through mindless entertainment and misleading media, not to mention religious and political corruptions that create a culture of authoritarianism through false scarcity and fearmongering….and they are right!

        I got my crime shows and horror flicks at the push of a button for approximately an hour every night…voila, dopamine city! It really is sorcery, which I try to seek in the mundane everyday shit we take for granted. Our minds don’t register certain things as magic because they are commonplace to us. This technology we use….it is true wizardry thru n thru!

        Thank you for that observation! Very helpful.

    • Death and passion rolled up in one. The repetition of the heart beating makes it more powerful.

    • Sounds like something Type O Negative could put music too. If Peter Steele was still with us. Nicely done, Daniel. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

    Slowly

    Slowly you pussyfoot to me and my eyes become chained to you, and slowly I pull you into me, and slowly our hearts chain together, both our heartbeats  in a rhythm the other recognizes.  Slowly our lips make the connection and our eyes remain gazing into the beauty...

    My Gothic Heart Afire In My Teary Sea

    My Gothic heart burning  in the sea of tears within.   Wrapped in thorny vines, dangling  by a thread from the surface. The teary waves above in my eyes are turbulent and the emotional winds lashing.   My Gothic fire, my tears of high emotion, my crimson shine...

    Hauntingly Beautiful

    My gothic castle stands  with spires outstretched  like fingers dipping into  the thunderclouds.   Blue stained-glass  windows for eyes. Colors of the sea beam through.    Though in this mind  the light distorts into something paradoxical.    Something  hauntingly beautiful.  So I ink the page with words    that evoke  internal ghosts within  my readers...
