BELOVED ETERNAL READER: Your Modern Ghoul

Created by Jacob Rowan

“Your Modern Ghoul”

My Beloved Eternal Reader, hello; good day,
a-ha hey hey, I must start with this —
I am glad you are here,
with me in this journey through mystery.

You are like I, are you not?
First steps in cemeteries, your favorite memories,
that sound heard behind you,
the exciting spiritual solitude of God's Acre.

You remember, because you are like I,
my Modern Ghoul.

Horror movies, haunted houses, Halloween please!
We love wrestling, colors,
and love the dark just as much—
green clothing, red hair, nudity, tattoos,
and abstract art.

We like to smoke, some of us like to drink,
and we love them because they drink
and tell us their problems, and it’s funny.

We love bats, bridges, and the monsters that lie beneath,
the homeless and lonesome,
skeletons, fogs, frogs, pegs.
We love pizza and PPU!

Black roses, candles, and Ouija nights.
Psychiatric illnesses and mental homes,
freedom & unity.

We love holding our loved one.
We love reading, escaping into different worlds—
and that’s how we can always be together,
my Beloved Ghouls.

My spirit is right here,
for I will never leave you.

My need for you
is like my need for the love metal of H.I.M.,
chocolates, chains, change,
inner beauty, lovely Goddess, best friend.

I love your eyes upon me,
and I love you.

For aye and ever more, we are
Your Modern Ghoul
