Well this is my first time sharing something in this forum so I hope it is well received. I guess I'll start things off with a poem:


Ennui of a Beast


to come upon a somber horse
in a field of its own solitude
by its own making
a spectre by design and in its own forsaking
ennui, ennui, you say it hath too long bathed in
but do you not see the sepulchral storm beneath and within
not on the horizon but in the horizon the hordes have amassed
samael, I heed not your warning for I have eaten their bitter melon
sin against sin surpassed

to come upon a somber horse
in a field of its own solitude
and to learn to leave it be
leave the useless thing be
just be

That poem is really good! I hope you to post more of them!
I think I liked especially division in those two parts, and the fact the first one is more explicit, while the second one, though it's not clear without reading the first verses, it's really the one that gave me the idea of the "ennui" ( I won't ruin everything translating in english the french term :right: ). BTW, the language is really suitable and ok, I liked it!

Sorry if I ask, but ennui means boredom something like the latin "taedium", right?

Don't know why, but this poem, despite its beauty, gave me a sense of anxiety :P

It was a good poem. I really liked the language you used. It made it enjoyable to read. I think the deeper meaning takes me a while to really open it up.
