The Peripetia Of Love

by Freedom   May 13, 2009


I still can't force myself
to understand.
The peripetia of love.
One day you say 'till the world's end.
Next day
walking on my heart's veins.
Drinking my own blood.
I'm watching how you're going away
from me.
Reminiscing the sound of your steps.
Familiar scent of your hair
when the wind touches it.

    You know what? I loved this poem. I'm really a big fan of short poems that say so much in so few words. I don't think it ended abruptly. I think it is perfect the way it is. And I feel for you, I'm going through the same torment.

    I don't think anyone can understand the peripetia of love :P I can't anyways. Anyways, your poem.

    I think this is a very gorgeous, short, and simple. I just got done reading this incredibly intense, crazy vocab poem. And then going and reading something like this is very relaxing and I don't feel like my brain is going to fall out. Ha! This is also very unique. It's cute and simple....oh wait....and THEN I read on and I read "Drinking my own blood" And that was unexpected! I like it. The reader gets surprised by the plot o your piece.

    ^I like the opening. It get's right to the point. It doesnt have an intro...it just goes right to the point. I like it. It's different :)

    ^I like the closing as well. It starts with the point and then it ends with an emotional spill at the end. I like it. It's very unique and it gets the point out. Excellent piece! Anytime you want me to check out anymore of your poems just let me know :)

    This poem ends abruptly. you should add a little more to it. the way the person u see walk away remind u of things like their smell and stuff like that and i like how u described that

    over all good job
