Beloved by Justin Ratcliff

Do not hide your face from me
Let your light touch me
Dearly beloved
Hear unto my plea
Let not any barrier
Come betwixt us
May we be
Forever entwined
Till the celestial bodies
Turn to dust and ash
May our hearts’ tantric enigma
Be a fire that surpasses all bliss
May hell’s heat pale
When compared to our
Splendor



Justin Ratcliff is a new emerging poet, who was cast into the depths of himself during the Covid-19 outbreak. Born, raised, and still preceding in South Central Alaska. From a very early age he had found a haven in his local library. Each new book was a new world in which to escape the harsh realities of life’s bitter brew. Draws much of his inspirations from psychology, philosophy, theology, nature, and dark fantasy.
