Exorcised Doubt

by Cinnamonspice   Aug 19, 2011


Huddled in the arms of doubt
feeling the sickness spread.
Fires burn raw and ingenuous
deep within her soul

Passion flares at the sight
of him, the scent of him.

He feels the heat, flames
of love lick at his skin
tasting, searing, as desire
tries to devour.

It's mirrored in her eyes
the air is filled with it's essence.

Forever tattooed on her heart,
as fear chips away at optimism
Leaving behind a blank space
once colored in confidence.

Making her wait till dubiety
is exorcized

    Connie, I never expected to behold a write that is full of love, passion, desire and hope! :) What I loved the most about this epic piece is the flow, it is rare to find a poem that flows easily and smoothly, your poem did and you worthily deserve applause! :)
    I feel proud I'm your friend, and that your words sometimes praise my poetry, you are a very talented poetess. :)
    Well, let me start with the title, it was eye-catching and exclusive. I like it.
    However, mind me not saying that the last two lines of the opening stanza were a bit cliche, to write something about fire burning the soul to describe sadness or disappointment is overused and not that captivating and you know, I love your writes and think they are original and unique, so I want you to change these lines in order to pen your thoughts and emotions in a better way. :)

    How passionate, here. I almost imagined him breathing in a sensual way, looking at you. You've nailed it! :)
    I love the originality of most of the lines in this piece, for sure, you cannot find that in every piece of poetry, there are lots of poems (including some of mine) that are just too simple.

    He feels the fire, flames
    of love lick at his skin
    tasting , searing , as desire
    tries to devour

    I would advise you to listen to Jennifer and remove the spaces before the commas, they really seem confusing and weird. But other than that, this stanza has so many emotions put within. :)
    -The ending was my favorite part of the write, I felt as if what I was looking for just came! (I was looking for an inspiration.:P)
    Surely five and perhaps nominated the next week. Good talent, never stop writing!

    A powerful poem expressing love (desired) and paranoia of a paranoid, as should be.

    Connie, girl, I think this is one of the best, no, make that the best love poem Ive ever read. From "Huddled in the arms of doubt..." to "Passion flares at the sight of him..." to "Making her wait till dubiety is exorcised." each romantic line is perfect, and also the title, wow. You, NO DOUBT, are one talented author Connie.
