A Vague Repose

by ghosts in bloom   Jun 19, 2009


You emerge from things filled with spirit,
a mosaic nightmare;
you are the word ---
lachrymose.
lamenting like a fallen dove.

scream for me once more,
amidst the marble staircase
to the gods.

tell me you are wholly
responsible for breaking down the doors
to my reliquary, and sing a requiem of sorts
into my gutless ears.

don't leave me
begging.

when you choose to be silent as a star:
remote and candid, in the penetrable sky,
I still know your fear: and I will follow you.

    You emerge from things filled with spirit,

    *I would take out the "from things" it seems odd here and doesn't flow well with the rest of the line.*

    a mosaic nightmare;

    *I love that you said "mosaic" I don't think I've ever seen that word used to describe a nightmare before. But it's a good word, because nightmares are often just a mixture of pictures.*

    you are the word ---
    lachrymose.
    lamenting like a fallen dove.

    *I love ow you break this down here. It's ver simple but I get so much for your words. The alliteration is nice as well*

    scream for me once more,
    amidst the marble staircase
    to the gods.

    *Whoa...this was a little random, but I like the way you worded it*

    tell me you are wholly
    responsible for breaking down the doors
    to my reliquary, and sing a requiem of sorts
    into my gutless ears.

    *Wow...now that stanza before makes sense lol. Your diction is amazing here. "reliquary" "requiem" those are perfect. Wow...where do you think of these things Nova. I have to know what made you so talented. Jeez I'm jealous lol. I loved this stanza. My favorite I think. Your words are so powerful. :) *

    don't leave me
    begging.

    *I like how you put this here after such a powerful stanza, it slows things down a little and picks the flow back up, clever clever :) *

    when you choose to be silent as a star:
    remote and candid, in the penetrable sky,
    I still know your fear: and I will follow you.

    *That line is super creepy and I love it. I'm nor sure what to say about this poem hun. I liked the attention to deail and the imagery is so well done. Your diction blows my mind like literally and the emotions are hard hitting. That's all I can really say. Good job :) Nik*
