Moon-Doused Memories

by BrokenREALiTy   May 1, 2008


"And here's to happy endings, and their ridiculous sense of purpose."
Glistening beads of champagne hummed, flooding the edges of a frail glass,
Flowing through her tattered words, dusting them with blemished stains of ink.
Arid dimples danced across the darkened parchment, tainted by a lasting glow,
Depicting two desperate shadows lolled within each other's arms.

(He whispered words he'd never felt, triggered by a poison surging through his veins,
A soundless lexis whispered through his gaze that concealed her own unrest.)

Visions of a velvet crimson swathed her, wrinkled against his sheets,
A silent flicker of moon-doused light seeped through their tattered window.
One peek beyond the private dream revealed a blotted sky--
The fallen stars distorted splendor, as they bathed her muffled screams.
(Remnants of a shattered feat infected by their broken dreams)

*My personal release, so it's not meant to impress.
**A work in progress. I know, it's awkward like most of my other works. The big flaws that really stick out, I just don't know how to fix. So I posted it here.

    Ummm...... waw.
    i liked it, it was confusing at times and i dont think i understood the whole thing but it was still good. i loved the beginning, up untill....."Visions of a velvet crimson swathed her....." after that you kinda lost me.
    but the use of words paints a picture in your head of whats going on, you just have to explain a little bit more.
    nice. keep it up. =]

    First,
    I believe you should fix your format.
    It'd be easier to read.

    Also I found no rhythm in this.
    They're just... well, a bunch of words.

    What I do admire about this poem,
    Although it's quite chaotic,
    I like the vocabulary use and the details.

    I loved the metaphors, for example, poison through his vains.
    I was thinking that it was alcohol.
    But I'm pretty sure alcohol doesn't go through vains.

    OoOoOo...
    Again the imagery and all of the descriptive words
    really hit this poem out of the ball park for me
    it was phenomenal
    I really enjoyed the second stanza
    it just had a certain flare to it
    nice work
    5.5

    First of all I must tell you that your word choice and the way you place your words in this poem is amazing. I also think that the descriptions are great and the poem as a whole is just beautiful. 5/5
