Memento Mori
A collection of poems
Within the eerie embrace of mortality's shadow, her soul dances with death, a macabre waltz echoing through the annals of time. In the darkness of their undiagnosed melancholy, they found sanctuary in the fading echoes of life's finale. A siren in black veils, death wafts her intoxicating fragrance, an eternal perfume lingering in the air like a haunting melody.
Through verses woven from threads of sorrow and fleeting joy, the poet beckons readers into a realm where mortality intertwines with memory, illuminating the human experience in all its fragile beauty. Each poem a sepulchre of emotions... from the desolate voids where light fears to tread to moments suffused with bittersweet ecstasy.
For twelve years, this collection has been a whispered elegy to life's transience, capturing fragments of existence before they slip through time's relentless grasp. With each verse penned in blood and ink, they explore existence; embracing decay as ardently as one would clasp a lover's hand.
These poems are not mere words on paper but portals to realms where love mingles with hatred, nature bows to entropy, and every heartbeat echoes closer to that final cosmic dance. Through themes of grief and meaninglessness intertwining with delicate strands of hope and despair, this collection becomes a fathomless reflection of our shared mortality.
Peering through this poetic looking glass reveals truths both stark and sublime, reminders that we are but ephemeral dancers in death's grand ballroom. And yet, within these verses lie sparks of defiance against the ever-marching spectre of oblivion; a whispered promise that even in the throes of decay, beauty endures.
As you embark on this journey through verses veiled in shadows and illuminated by fleeting lights, may you find solace in the unending embrace of death, for it is only by facing our darkest fears that we truly learn to live amidst life's gentle fragility.
