Gothic Surrogacy

By Bidisha Chakraborty

Gothic Surrogacy
Night, so alluring as phantasmagoria
Steeps within the juncture of normalcy
Walking all alone I am,
My companions restricted to amphibrats
An old church tempts my veneration
The dark was never so desolating
As synonymous to Gothic surrogacy
Surrounded with bottle green vegetation
Vegetation, as deadening as delighting
The church bells criss crosses
Signifies some Gothic fluency
I am tenderly holocaust-ed
My mind looses temptation
The dark was never so desolating
As synonymous to Gothic surrogacy
Assaulted vibrations meets the way,
As I enter the dead end
No looking back, restrictions over loaded
Neither church, nor temple
Heals the vampire - self
Am I a living dead body pissed under havoc catastrophes ?
Darkness, so tempting
Numb my senses,
I am not a certified killer but an apocalyptic hemlok
An emblem of Gothic surrogacy
