JOURNEY OF TOMORROW

Weeping blossom
Cremation of the hymn
Seclusion and pain
Heavens death of sin

Fragmented and cold
Spoken among tears
Scattering of darkness
Overcast with blasphemy
Bone turned dust
Soulful ornamented figure
Painted with angelic rust

Curtain drawn
Long lost journey
Velvet comfort
For a funeral companion
Organ orchestration
Farewell to the soul

Furnace gathering
Convey into doom
Hot bed of memoirs
Finale of tune

New day tomorrow
Sunlight smile arise
Warm soiled body
Celebration of death
Journey’s end
Of a burial breath
Decaying surprise

THE RISE OF THE NEW DAWN

The falling heavens, screaming in blasphemy and pain
Guardians of the dark, guidance by the mystics of light
Hallowed to cry, awoke an obsidian rebirth
Echoes and visions tempting fate of the godhead Mage
Gallantly posed with a fiery stained wand
Doctrine blessing, a guided illusion
Shadows the night

Mysterious waters flow,
Sub-conscious journey forthwith
Devoured and attained
Moon shine awakens, Isis like the sun
The order is beckoning
New dawn begun

TOUCH OF THE BLADE

Oak dust fades into my frail mind
A journey of lost freedom
I can hear the heavens screaming with cries
Why do I have to die?
In this secluded chamber of death
Immortal imagination
“Help me, God!”
Alone with the burning flame
Hypnotized among the darkness
An important number
I forgot my name?

A formation of shadows
Gathering of tomorrows dream
Red river begins to flow
A treacherous haven
An emotional stream

World of another wonder
A vision of terror and suffocating of light
Trembled with irritable memories
The pendulum shine of steel
Preparation of fright
Clutching towards the afterlife
Another cursed victim
The touch of the knife

Anthony Crowley (born 1979, Birmingham in U.K) began to take an interest in English literature and poetry from as young as age six. Throughout his teenage years, he studied music and song-writing while still creating his visions. He achieved a diploma in creative writing in Oxford, England.

He has written short stories for student newsletters, horror monthlies and he is also a proud member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA). He appears on the ‘A List’ of the IDPA (International Directory of Published Authors), and in the NFAA (Non Fiction Authors Association).

Today Anthony is a featured contributor to Haunted after Dark with his very own dark haven of “Crowley’s Crypt” and has written many works of literature and poetry for publications such as Massacre Magazine, Sanitarium, HelloHorror, Sub-Verse and Fiction Terrifica. He has also appeared as an official Judge for the British Horror Film Festival 2014 and recently his forthcoming anthology of horror tales Doomsday after Midnight is nominated at the AuthorsdB Book Awards 2014.

Anthony has published Tombstones, an anthology of dark verse, and soon the new paperback edition of The Black Diaries—Volume One, a short anthology of dark fiction and poetic verse.
