What gothic poetry is to me?
I dont see why Gothic Poetry should be only stuff about dark things like death, sadness, lost love etc.
Gothic Poems can tell almost about anything if they do have dark emotional load behind them.
I think Gothic Poetry is all about poking those dark fears every one have, fear about death, fear about losing the love, thoughts about suicide, etc.
I believe it's much better to deal such a things through arts, like Gothic Poetry, than other ways which might be fatal. Things must be talked about because that is only way that person can deal those things and emotions.
If you wish to read more my ramblings about this matter, go to my Dark Gothic Poetry Pages where I will put more thoughts about Gothic Poetry when I manage turn some of my ideas to HTML code.
