    Lost in my subconcious

    I lay there in my sancturary with a struggle for existence
    The mankind in me is a prisoner of the past
    There is only one way to find me, I will not find you
    I lay there in my sancturary in a peculiar prolongation of infancy
    Childhood is a period of immunity from the serious life
    My passion for pain burns like fabulous yellow roman candles
    You must follow the dark river
    Do not be frightend by its shadowy vastness
    You will come upon the gates
    Allowing ever less daylight to penatrate
    Hence the dark clouds
    Ravens commence over the entrance
    A dark feathered angel with a taste for blood
    The immortal desires of the human heart are denied by reality
    We stand there knocking on the man's door
    I remain unconvinced because in infancy i tasted the fruit from the tree of life, I know that it is good and I never forget

    I find this poem very dark and rather disturbing, because I feel it is from the soul. because of the age of the poet it saddens me

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
