The 2nd edition of Cyriades' poetry book Moonlit Journey now available!

Cyriades (Owen Johnston) has been an avid fan of poetry for many years, and has written some of his own during that time, as well as a handful of short stories. If you love poetry, please join on the second edition of this poetic quest in book form. The subjects range from dark and gritty urban exploration to themes of redemption.

Please join me on this quest through dark passages – yet there are rays of hope throughout as we seek paradise. First we must embark upon a gritty, dimly lit poetic journey through the dark hour, looking for the new dawn. Once we have found this new hope, we must stay true to the path and finish our quest. We ultimately find ourselves on a grim, fateful journey through the horrors of night, only to find tales of fantasy and hope at the end. The dark passages within this book contain a range of poetic and prosaic writing styles in one compilation that is thick with liminalism and imagery. A sample poem -

Farewell Party (Leaving the Old Church)
The ravens on the roof
Stand guard like gargoyles -
These grim feathered ghouls
Perch atop the once proud passages
That they now pretend to own,
And sing a sad a cappella
In mockery of memory.

Author's Acknowledgements and Dedication

I want to acknowledge my father T.O.D. Johnston, my college creative writing professor Kregg Spivey, and Edgar Allan Poe as being the major influences on my writing style. Without them, this modest little book wouldn't be in your hands.

This book is dedicated to Jesus Christ my Savior, and all those who have helped me come this far, and all of my diligent students over the years. God bless.

"In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death."
- Proverbs 13:28
