That was beautiful! I like the simplicity, mixed with the passion and the pain. Sometimes massive description destroys what you are trying to say...and the simplicity of this is just...stunningly beautiful. Makes you sit and just let it wash over you. I like this. When I get a little more time, I'll review some more of your stuff. Keep writing!

uhh...wow. i'm glad you've started posting again...

hmm...I've always loved religion-themed poetry, especially ones that deal with crisis/loss of faith, more for aesthetic reasons than any personal connections...

this was no exception. I hope that, by writing the poem, you were able to solve or ameliorate whatever problems you were having. I love the imagery.

beautiful.
in that torturous lovey brilliant way, simply (or rather complexly) beautiful.

This poem is.

Well, the theme is in conflict with Christian beliefs ( yeah. I'm one. ) but the way you've written it is simply amazing.

Thought out extremely well, and your descriptions are gorgeous.

Intense! I like the images and the emotion.. seems a little too overdrawn to me, but it's still really good. Very meaningful.!

Good poem portraying reality coupled with the Christian beliefs. *shrugs* I'm not Christian, but to my religion Jerusalem has a meaning of hope. keep hoping, and Jersualem might glow golden again.
