Dark Oblivion

by Aisha Baranowska

Fourth and final anthology of my Gothic-Romantic-existentialist poetry series in English. A journey through the sorrows of life, the beauty and allure of the dark realm, the classic Dark Romantic aesthetics, to love and distance; the yearning of a tormented soul that finally finds a companion – however, miles of the ocean separate the two loving hearts that burn with the flame of eternity... Dark mysticism, surreal imagery, symbolism; an entire philosophy rather than a mood – and immense love, like only true Romantics can love: with strength, power, beauty, longing and passionate devotion...

About the author

"I was born on 1st of April 1988 in Cracow, Poland. I graduated from Milton Keynes College with a certificate in Travel and Tourism in 2009. I write poetry in several languages, for languages and poetry are my two most pursued interests. I sometimes translate my own poems. My poetical output consists of Romanticism, existentialism and personal perception of reality, skilfully dressed up in my ornate and a bit archaic writing style which is what makes my works somehow original and unusual in modern world. I have always had a passion for history and that passion is reflected in my language, my choice of music, art, fashions etc. - generally everything that has anything to do with a slightly outdated aesthetics. Gothic ''Dark Romanticism'' is also one of the factors that I consider my poetical inspiration. I believe poetry should be lyrical and so, I write it while listening to music which makes my verses sound so musical. I strive to achieve poetical excellence and I am always looking to improve my literary workshop."
