I'm A Poet,' The Young

I Can See In Your Eyes That There’s No Seam Of Untapped Joy Left In You. The Best Of Life Has Come And Gone. Those Days When Sudden Epiphanies Swept Over You, And You Had Visions Of The Rightness Of All Things And Of Your Place Amongst Them; They’re History. You’re In A Darker Place Now.

Welcome To The Worst Nightmare Of All, Reality!

I Want To Be Remembered As An Imaginer, Someone Who Used His Imagination As A Way To Journey Beyond The Limits Of Self, Beyond The Limits Of Flesh And Blood, Beyond The Limits Of Even Perhaps Life Itself, In Order To Discover Some Sense Of Order In What Appears To Be A Disordered Universe. I'm Using My Imagination To Find Meaning, Both For Myself And, I Hope, For My Readers."-clive Barker

I Don't Like To Make A Distinction Between The Writer And The Painter , Finally , Because I Do Both Things Anyway . Everybody's Dreaming And Trying To Put Down Their Dreams In The Way That Their Hand Knows Best . I Feel As Much A Unity , As Much Comradeship , With Painters As I Do Writers .

Darkness Always Had Its Part To Play. Without It, How Would We Know When We Walked In The Light? It’s Only When Its Ambitions Become Too Grandiose That It Must Be Opposed, Disciplined, Sometimes—if Necessary—brought Down For A Time. Then It Will Rise Again, As It Must.
