Bitter Lust Blows

oh,
I tasted
hellfire-
[too inspiring
to be real].

Meet my sadistic delectation
as it melts down the lips
sealed with mutilated screams-
I trimmed my landscape longings.

On the other, lyrical side
the lawns are watered with sympathy,
ornamented with warm jewels-
This garden's burned down.

Embed dazzling cadence into moon's crystals
-- oh, now and then, I had surreal contacts-
Conspiracies beat with striking preoccupations.

Overprotected
oh,
I tasted
hellfire-
[too sweet
to be objective].

    Nicely done. Loved the opening and ending. Very effective.

    You used great vocab. Which always gives the poem that extra effect.

    There's not much bad things I can say about this piece.. It was very deep. Just keep up the great work, look forward to reading more in the near future!

    ^^ That was just... wow. I loved the structure of it. I don't know it just makes it even more appealing. The words though.. I mean that was just amazing. I don't know what exactly it means, but it's definitely something that will stick in my head and make me think about it. I'll be racking my brain to figure out what it means.

    ^^ Scary. o.o That really really makes me think you're psycho. LMAO. jk jk. Anyways, it was worded so brillantly, the first part makes me want to taste it [whatever it is.. o.o] even though I don't know what it is, your words make it sound so good. I also like how I don't know what it is, because it lets me interpret this how I want to. :]

    ^^ The second line makes me thing the lawns are being watered by your tears.. I guess it was because of the "sympathy" thing. Anyways, the last line was so vivid. I literally pictured a burned garded. Amazing.

    ^^ You're stanzas never seems to lack in descripting words. I loved how you mentioned the moon. I don't know why, but the moon always gives me a hint of mystery and beauty. It was perfect for this poem.

    ^^ I liked how you repeated this, but altered it just a little. I think I actually liked it better the second time I read it. This is definitely my favorite stanza in the poem. It's words, structure are just so compelling. I still can get the words out of my mind.

    Another amazing poem from you!

    Keep writing!

    I've read this poem before also. And I fell inlove with it deeply. I'm so glad I get to read it again. You started this poem impressively. You really caught my attention within such few words. I loved you word choice yet again, and I feel like i'm repeating myself with each comment I give you. Simply because i'm running our of nice things to say about your poetry.

    The first stanza, Yep. I'm inlove. I adored the first stanza. I don't think I've ever fell for words as hard I just did whilst reading that. Oh my. It was stunning. Gorgeous. Beautiful. Brilliant. You have me all jumpy now.

    "Melts down the lips" Wow. To die for. How do you think of these things. Honestly. I wish I had the same ability as you to do so. Your such a creative person. You write some of my favorite metaphors in poetry.

    On the other, lyrical side
    the lawns are watered with sympathy,
    ornamented with warm jewels-

    I loved this stanza. The imagery of two opposite sides. I found that to be interesting and powerful. Again you can paint well. Paint imagery into my mind that is.

    Loved it. What more can I say there. Your vocab overly strong and gorgeous.

    Oh how I loved that ending. The repetition with the first and last stanza worked so well. I liked how you changed a word though to create a different effective. Overall another favorite of mine from you. Loved it ~Mel

    I loved that you tried something different with this one .. and it worked! I applaud you. The word choice here as always amazing and what truly caught my eye and completed the poem for me was your title. It was just flawless and a poem in itself. Loved it all. The flow was just great and I could tell you put a lot into this one and it showed. Well done *5/5*
