Comments : Missing Her Everlasting Love

  • 14 years ago

    by Lady Nik

    My dried eyes wake to pronounced silence
    permeating the atmosphere with a dead song.

    *These first two lines seemed very sad and somber, but I like that they were first. I think that's a very strong way to open a poem*

    I break off from what was

    *I love how you use "break" here that's brillant.*

    tying scattered thoughts together
    while the kettle violently hisses
    and watchful clocks emphasize
    precious memories of the past.

    *I like how simple this part was. More poem need this. Great imagery, game me a warm at home kind of feel to it.*

    as I put on a winter's coat

    *I think this should just be "winter coat"*

    I step into pure angelic snow
    nipping winds playfully teasing

    *That's a beautiful image. I love the diction here too :) *

    She bore the most celestial figure
    that always swayed with grace
    singing fruitful lullabies

    *The diction here is strong as well. "celestial" I hardly ever see that word, glad yuo used it here. It fits perfectly.*

    Hounds cry into the evening
    and I am immediately reminded
    her being great with child

    *Should there be an "of" before "her" in the third line?*

    My hearts moans in painful agony

    *Should "hearts" just be "heart"?*

    My soul wanders in chaos

    *That line bothered me a little becasue you already said "my soul" I'm mayeb use a different word that means soul like spirit or something like that*

    I realize every breath I take in
    is simply a waste of space
    committing the sin of omission
    but then I recall her saying
    lives were made for a purpose.

    *I feel like that sometimes, Like I don't know what I'm here for when I rememebr the words of other people. I think a lot of people can relate to this stanza.*

    My fingers reach anxiously 'cross
    peppermint clouds in vain
    hoping to catch maiden Sun
    and draw her dangerously near
    just to feel warmth once again.

    *I love the detail here, I feel like I'm right with you. *

    My spirit is zealous and eager
    bestowing upon me willing strength.
    My cracked lips open
    forming the cherished words
    "I love you for ages to come"
    speaking with utter truth
    straight from the core.
    I listen as I joyfully hear
    soft murmurs through evergreens
    reassuring the concerns
    and magically replacing them
    amidst soothing remedies.

    *This has to be my favorite stanza. You write with such tenderness that it makes yours words come to life for me. The imagery is breatking and really makes this poem a love story*

    I leave behind distress
    and join her figure in Heaven.

    *This ending was lovely. You've done a beauitful job with this piece. I love the softness of your words and the beauty of your images. I love that you use all your senses as well. This was wonderful. Most love poems aren't as detailed and don't tell the reader all they want to know, but this one does. Brillant work dear. Nik*
