Into and out of Mirage

By Richard Gurnsey

In this book of poems I talk of everything. From the mental breakdown of a society and generation, from the past to the present. I also talk of romance, psychology, spiritualism, mysticism and the struggle of life, or death for that matter. But I think Into and Out of the Mirage is also about hope, and reaching, trying to find a place within ourselves where there is no despair. The only way to go is forward. I think in time all wounds will heal, from the past to the present and beyond. But the one thing about a poem is the depth of the poem, and its hidden meaning. Also a poem can be an escape from a harsh reality to worlds of wonder. Sometimes a poem can leave you hanging on for dear sanity, or maybe it can be of enlightment. So maybe tomorrow will follow today and maybe there will be a sign, written on pages and sorts of strange lines.

Richard Gurnsey

Although I’ve gotten a few poems published, strange as it seems, I didn’t take writing seriously until my early twenties’. I was born on September 15. 1979, to Gerald Gurnsey and Deborah Martindale. I’m the seventh child of eight. I had a good child hood. By the time I was a teenager, my step father, Mark Sculley, got me into Stephen King and Cclassic Rrock Mmusic. It was then I wanted to write stories and poems. When I got to Hhigh Sschool, it was different,. iIt was a coming- of- age. Everything changed,; everybody was experiencing different and new things. I fell in with that category. When I was nineteen, I had brain surgery, which was a set back. I wrote a few things, and everything started to come together again. But then when I was thirty- three, I was in a coma for two weeks,. I recovered. And now twenty years later and with all those experiences Tales of Infinity.
