    Darren Carter

    Born near Manchester UK I attended Upholland boarding school. From there I went into further education at Liverpool John Moores University studying fine art and art history. The journey for poetry didn’t end there. Having studied the Bible profusely for many years joining a monastery seemed inevitable and the right choice in life. It was studying & singing the Psalms that gave birth to a passion of writing poetry. I have now been writing ever since, each day and every day.

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      ELYSIUM

      Through the gates of Elysium,

      Let your fortune be found.

      Heroic warrior,

      From a battleground.

      Meet the lost souls of your past.

      Their wait for you has ended at last.

      The Gods favoured your passing.

      They watched over your spirit at your life’s ending.

      Now enter through the open gate.

      Where there’s no sign of man’s evil hate.

      Embrace the dream,

      It is yours to believe.

      Let the sun and fire,

      Bring you your heart’s desire.

      With your last breath,

      You gave prayer to the Gods.

      Your spirit will never be lost,

      In the realm of darkness.

      You lived a life worthy of your sword and spear.

      Your spirit has gained its reward here.

      Across the barren waste.

      Let your spirit find eternal rest.

      Honourable dead.

      Your souls have brought you to this richness of life.

      Forever to enjoy your afterlife.

      The Temple of Love,
