Dark Veil Society announces the August 6th, 2025 release of Wilted Flowers, a searing collection of dark poetry by Despoina Kemeridou.

With minimalism and emotional gravity, Wilted Flowers captures a fragile descent into sorrow, silence, and rage. Each poem strips the self bare—revealing heartbreak, alienation, and the gradual withering of tenderness:

Words turn to emptiness.
Silence turns to dust.
Loneliness turns to anger,
And my little heart forgets to love.

This is not comfort. This is confession. Kemeridou’s poems ache with vulnerability and bleed with quiet fury. Through a stark lens, she renders human pain with the intimacy of a whisper and the bluntness of loss.

Early praise from readers:

After reading this collection of poems I feel like I’m the wilted flower and Despoina has seen right into my soul.
~ Rowena Turner, Goodreads (5 stars)

I’m pretty picky with my taste in poetry… so many good lines here and poems in general. Highly recommend if you like moody and dark poems.
~ Tasmin Bradshaw, Goodreads (4 stars)

Wilted Flowers is Kemeridou’s fifth collection and further establishes her voice in modern Gothic poetics. A must-read for fans of emotional rawness and shadowed verse.

Available now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
