Catharsis (short poetry art film) [2002]

Poetry art film by UK filmmaker Owen Tooth.

Words:

This goes out to the broken hearted
Gone but not forgotten
The dearly departed.

Murky overgrown hollow green
We once lived here.
You and me
In our necromantic philosophy
This dark love won't set me free.

They will never now
How deep this pit goes.

I've thrown a thousand stones
And never heard an echo.

A zephyr peels
Away the leaves
Unveiling shattered remains.

The sun turns its back
To reveal the (?) moon.

Eyes are the windows to the soul
I'm searching for the door.
The handle is a line scored in my heart.
The key is a long forgotten song.

All those petals fell to hell
When I lost my immortelle.
