Charles Morrison
Charles attended classes in English Literature at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. His favorite poets are
Charles Bukowski, Jim Morrison, Hart Crane and William Blake. Charles looks for inspiration in the simplest things, investing them with a strange poetic energy. He tightens every perception to a focal point of clarity and extracts meaning from the most compact phrases. His love for music influences his compositions. Charles enjoys the rich tapestry of language, imagery and sound in poetry, particularly works by the French decadent poets. His poetry has appeared in the online journal
Remark.
WHISPERS
I'm living in whispers
behind gray walls,
a decadent phantom
hidden from earthly view.
I'm free to live
the way I want
until I appear
in the celestial theater
that awaits us all
where the documentary
of my life will play.
I hope you like the show,
it cost me everything to make.
DESCENT
Life is a descent,
a slow decay
into forever;
losing sense
and senses –
eternal night begins
as the sun fades
into an ocean
of blissful ignorance
and we swim
alone.
ECLIPSE
Let’s walk together
on starry floors,
above heaven,
where nothing
can bother us.
Wanton darkness
surrounds us –
luxurious,
delicious night.
Reality’s light
so far away,
it has no power
over us;
let’s celebrate.
