Electrocuted

by Italian Stallion   Aug 2, 2009


Assaulting life's essence -
a diffused and wrinkled love
lingers in the depths of sea (you)
destroying the once standing,
destroying the lines of life (me).

Rigid wires embraced by plastic
strung upon fat wooden straws.
Touching ground, electrifies,
touching you releases my pride.

Smacking the ravenous,
I cause an outrage
while trying to stay a float.

Splashing. Zapping. Embracing liquidation,
natures endearment turned vicious
as the tears of the world swallowed me.

    *I have no idea how this didn't win >.< it was simply brillant. Man...makes me mad that it didn't win.*

    *I love that part soooo much! The use of one word sentences is so effective to me. It's like writing each word by itself adds emphasis on it. I feel like feeling each word as you write it, if that makes sense lol. I love the last line. It's perfect and it really shakes me at the end. I finished this and I was like "wow" that's how good it was. Great piece of work JOE JOE :) Nik*

    This was very creative, and I really liked it. Great use of metaphors and wording. If I had to choose, I'd say the last stanza was probably my favorite but it was all very well written. Great work :)

    `What a sad beginning this is!

    'lingers in the depths of sea (you)
    destroying the once standing,
    destroying the lines of life (me).'
    `This as well! But I love the metaphors.

    'Rigid wires embraced by plastic
    strung upon fat wooden straws.
    Touching ground, electrifies,
    touching you releases my pride.'
    `You must be talking about...power lines? or making a references to them as a metaphor? I have no idea what I'm talking about, thats all I can think of though... cant think of anything associated with seas that would be like that.

    'as the tears of the world swallowed me.'
    `Very powerful.. it made a wonderful ending.

    Well done. I hope my comment made sense. :]
