Having closely followed your other works, I was more than a little surprised by the turn you took with 'Somewhere I Belong'. I was also greatly delighted, the Egyptian mythology angle being highly fascinating (I have long been an afficionado of ancient matters).

Well done!

This is a very original poem. What I find wonderful about it is that it is not related to that overused, overestimated, currently-hyped theme of undying love ( Thank God )
This poem certainly is creative though it can be improved.
I think you should have shortened it slighltly because it was a bit draggy, threw me off momentum. Some of the rhyming/structure scheme wasn't too effective but came off alright.
Other than that, this is very fine poem.Fine!

Okay. I have an aversion to long long poems. I do. Milton's poem destroyed it for me. But I decided to give this a go. And glad I did.
K, there's not really a regular rhythm going here. I don't know if you care about that or not (I don't in my poems) so... *shrug*
I think in some stanzas you use "heart" too often. Of course, it's practically impossible to find a non-scientific synonym for the word "heart"!
Vivid imagery. I do not know anything about Egyptian Gods, but you seem to describe them and their 'duties' very well. Like the lines:

Standing on these polished stones,
That has no permanent surface,
That sinks and freezes beneath my feet.

Very good poem.

Chris, i think you repeated some of the words too many times. The poem is great but i think you repeated 'Here' too much.That's all. It really is very good.
