Thread: Strength

  1. #1

    Strength

    Shallow grave dug within my own poisoned mind
    Demons take flight within the recollected prisms
    Shards of crystal to impale the fated heart sorrowed
    Rainbowed against the steel of a stone pressed soul
    pray to the gods he does not blemish me
    Close the mausoleum door upon my comatose body
    Lifeless as your words strangled me into harsh hypnotism
    A breath shallowed by vengeance and fighting flames
    Apathy drifting my tears to the oceanic ebb of time
    please understand I tried to be the best I could
    Chaotic gleams of indecision twist the cry of echoes
    Anger, hostility, love, sorrow entwine the fragments left
    Barbed wire form the halo you strategically placed raged
    Cries of weeping willows taint the breeze with shrillest yawns
    you played your role as well, I’m not solely to blame
    Tears like gasoline fuel the emblazed instinct within me
    Fight or flee seem null to void when encompassed in rusted chain
    Fingertips shall wear to bone and blood to release the locks
    Residue of submission worn ragged by the frictioned call
    arise the wraith, scorned unwilling to bear the rooted swor
    Seduced by lightning I showed you as you were meant to see
    Hiding the inner venom from the licks of self imprisonment
    Struggling to slip through the crack in your subconscious infuriated
    Implanted delusions from my sorrow to your blind ego
    you are of dust and to dust you shall return
    Your hostile aggressions fanned the spark inside my lips
    Your viced grasp attempted to steal my breath and life
    Your vehement assumptions awakened the fallen angel
    And your walking away gave me strength to live life for me
    from amongst the ashes, the phoenix rose within her glory

    Man your vocabulary is dope, i really liked some of the words you used, it was a very image inspiring depiction. That said i felt like some of your imagery was a bit misplaced or odd, one that stood out as an example of this is this line: "Cries of weeping willows taint the breeze with shrillest yawns" Taints brings a kind of negative cononntation (at least in my mind) but willows, breeze and yawns are softer words, while shrill is also a strong word, it kind of made a weird contrast. I got what you were saying but i feel it should have been worded differently. That aside your imagery was top notch and it was very easy to folllow top to bottom, i'm glad i checked this piece out, nice job man, just needs a little polish, elevation is the key.

    This is the best thing Ive read from you in a long time man. Last time I saw your pieces was over on Rb and they were lacking, to put it lightly. It seemed like you had just kind of lost the drive an imagination that you once had before with your writing, but judging by this... You've found yourself. The imagery in this was definately the high point, the way you used such original concepts to describe your messages was amazing. The vocab was pretty beefed up aswell, only further supporting the complex messages and metaphors of the story. Ya man, not much to say. Everything in this was on point and there wasnt a fault to it. Maybe creat some short stanza's out of a bulk next time? That's about my only suggestion. But ya, excellent piece, I'm hoping you're really going to get back into writing and spread the talent around some more.

    "Shallow grave dug within my own poisoned mind

    Your opener was awsome because you painted a picture
    in my mind. I could actually draw what you wrote nice
    job. Your vocabulary helps with the content of strength.
    Definitely nice poetic touch.

    Only critique is don't over do it with vocab you were on
    the boarder with doing that. But eh I will let it slide lol.

    "Struggling to slip through the crack in your subconscious infuriated"
    The best line to me that symbolizes "Strength" when I first
    read it that is, then when I kept analyzing that line it felt different
    to me so I will stay with my first comment. It reminded me of
    something in my metal struggle hence which symbolized strenght to
    me.


    Overall definitely a job well done. Very discriptive piece.
    with very good content.


    stay writing.

    This was nice in the beginning I thought u were rambling, just trying to find something complex to say so u would stretch a point that is nonexistant but u came off totally different, I would like to say this is some of the best poetry I read but I cannot because celestial topics are too common now because noone really can make any good sublinary poems any more (I think) dont get me wrong this is extremely good and I can tell u have considerable skill, elevating and expanding always help....nice drop

    Check Out: A Poet...A Pen (this is celestial too lol)

    Amazing. Your theme had a great hook on the reader, created by your seductive imagery. Vocab was great also.
