Close (1st part)

by Something Diabolical   May 26, 2008


You've become too close to my heart
Our fears of hope are dying
The corpse of love has started
Although we keep on trying

Together for all always, forever we'll be
But what isnt new dies fast
When we get old we finally see
forgotten tears of relationships past

The "love period" is when you start anew
After, our dark hearts start weeping
The crimson tears of Rose's in bloom
Stops us both from sleeping

So now we are in darkness
not knowing where our hearts lie
Time has entombed our hearts
Waiting for us to die

    Reasonably good... A few quirks here and there. I'd have given it a 4.5, but that wasn't an option so I went with 5.

    Stanza 1: Strong start, good rhythm and meter.
    "The corpse of love has started
    Although we keep on trying"
    Not sure what exactly you mean here. Corpses don't start. Change it?

    Stanza 2: "Together for all always, forever we'll be"
    Not all always. It sounds awkward. It'd be tricky to change, since "All eternity" just won't work. I'd switch the sense of the phrase around.
    "When we get old we finally see"
    Not get. People don't get old in poetry. They grow, they become, they watch the person in the mirror change.

    Stanza 3:
    "The "love period" is when you start anew
    After, our dark hearts start weeping"
    Absolute genius. Been reading Robert Herrick's "To The Virgins?"

    Last stanza: You've used "hearts" twice, dear. And in the same stanza, no less. I'd put
    "So now we are in darkness
    not knowing where WE lie
    Time has entombed our hearts"
    This way, it'd solve a meter problem in line 2 and line 3 wouldn't sound too repetitive.

    Together for all always,

    Hmm...
    Do you mean...
    Together and always?
    Always's part meaning is all.

    But what isn[']t new dies fast[er?]

    Alright.
    I usually imagine things in my mind when I read a poem.

    For this one, specifically,
    It thought of a person up in stage,
    Mumbling, scared to death, looking at her/his shoes.

    It's probably because most of what you wrote
    Were ramblings to me.
    They didn't really connect with one another, or at least not that well.
