Comments : Burn After Reading

  • 15 years ago

    by Lu

    Black cloud rising from my ashes
    Blending with the scent of your skin
    Stabbed again on my death bed
    With memories of my lover's sin
    ^^^
    I can feel the pain in this part ... the flashbacks of betrayal stabbing and striking.

    What we called love is now war
    Your putrid heart so full of lies
    Time to rise again from my scars
    In the end, my enemy has to die
    ^^^
    The enemy has to die .... be it the memories or the failed love ... death of either would bring the anguished heart satisfaction.

    Sleep my love on the edge of a knife
    Be scared when I enter your dreams
    Tonight I will end your seven lives
    Dancing with your melodious screams
    ^^^
    I loved this part ... especially ...
    "Sleep my love on the edge of a knife"
    Chilling ... gives me goosebumps

    Hell awaits you my dear angel
    Pay for the blood spilled when I cry
    Trust my hatred for you this time
    Run to burn after reading this lullaby
    ^^^
    Excellent ending stanza Nitin!
    "Hell awaits you my dear angel"
    ^^^
    Awesome line ... Hell and Angel in the same line ... I can feel the air of sarcasm in the tone.

    You have penned an excellent read Nitin!

    Nitin
    You did an awesome job on this. Your poem went so well with the title you picked for the challenge.
    As I read this I got chills. Very dark, disturbing and just plain spine chilling. You really succeeded in pulling off the creepy feeling you were going for. You talent shines in this dark piece yaar.

    Black cloud rising from my ashes
    Blending with the scent of your skin
    Stabbed again on my death bed
    With memories of my lover's sin

    The imagery and word choices in this poem left a very vivid picture in my mind. Jilted and betrayed by a lover and now seeking revenge.

    What we called love is now war
    Your putrid heart so full of lies
    Time to rise again from my scars
    In the end, my enemy has to die

    The way you have written this it is like I can see each scene from each stanza as it takes place...almost like watching a movie.

    Sleep my love on the edge of a knife
    Be scared when I enter your dreams
    Tonight I will end your seven lives
    Dancing with your melodious screams

    Here I see a lover so insane from the pain of what has happened. Just the thought of someone dancing with joy while the other is tourtured is just mind boggling.

    Hell awaits you my dear angel
    Pay for the blood spilled when I cry
    Trust my hatred for you this time
    Run to burn after reading this lullaby

    Boohooo Nitin!

    You scared me with this evil promise!
    The Nitin I know has the friendliest face on the planet, so this must be another Nitin, lol!

    You did well on this, but it is a very cary poem!

    Hugs,

    ^Black cloud rising from my ashes
    Blending with the scent of your skin
    Stabbed again on my death bed
    With memories of my lover's sin ^

    Excellent use of a metaphor in the opening stanza.

    ^What we called love is now war
    Your putrid heart so full of lies
    Time to rise again from my scars
    In the end, my enemy has to die^

    Excellent portrayal of the thin line between love and hate.

    ^Sleep my love on the edge of a knife
    Be scared when I enter your dreams
    Tonight I will end your seven lives
    Dancing with your melodious screams^

    OOOH what a dark and evil stanza.

    ^Hell awaits you my dear angel
    Pay for the blood spilled when I cry
    Trust my hatred for you this time
    Run to burn after reading this lullaby^

    Well, you grabbed and kept my attention. Although this genre is not my favorite, you have done a good job on this piece.

    The sadness and anger is so intense in this piece, the smooth flow and rhyme was so clear, the words haunted like a loud whisper.
    Powerful words gripped the very soul clearly ripping you up inside.
    well done for expressing so well 5/5
