abuseExcellent language. I especially enjoyed your last two lines. Caps (or lack there of)...intentional? I like it. It makes you think. Actualyl I'm not sure if perhaps this is common in all of your work, maybe you just can't find taht damn capslock key, but I like it in this piece. Fine job.

abuseMy favorite line is, "I'm loving you in fear / in sickness and in health and I don't know which one this is..." Ooh, and I also like, "kill the lights so I don't have to see myself." The way it rhymes in some lines but not others is very interesting. Great poem. I love your work.

abuseThe twenty-fifth line is my favorite. You know, this poem makes me want to go back to Jules Verne. Don't know why.

abuseW.o.o.o.w.

This is -so- wonderful. This, I think, is my favorite piece of yours besides "x". I love the imagery (so original and striking), and the flow with the sporradic rhyming and the repitition of a few keys words... wow. The title sums it up great, especially considering your -gorgeous- ending. I am in absolute love with the last 5 lines.

"love is what the sirens sang while the streetlight prowlers wept" ah. i love that. it catches you short while you read through and really makes you think.

I adore this. It is beautiful.

abuseWow! This has definitely got a Borges tingle to it, and thank the stars it's written by someone of our time!

I love your title, alchemist, and how it ties into your last line: "and i deserve everything that comes back to me in the end." Whether to be concerned about *Fate* seems to be a big theme here.

Whereas mortar is dead, the ground is alive and shaken, like love. I'm no poetry expert, but gawsh you must have taken a long time layering so much meaning in! Hope you don't mind if I randomly post a question on a phrase, cuz it is just sizzling with meaning!

P.S. Thank you so much for your kind review!

abuse"cut the stars from the sky so the light can't tamper with my easy emotions" I never get sick of your words. How do you keep doing it? I love the torn beauty of this...so broken and tattered, yet wonderful.
