abuseThis poem is interesting. Like other pieces of yours, there is a sense of reality to it, by which I mean truth. It makes me want to approach you with something of a talk-down -- e.g. "You don't have to jump. Go on, get down off that ledge..."

Your poetry is worth reading. There is a surface style which is both compelling and surprising. For example:

"His face so elegantly gnawedfrom the hounds of worryAnd the beasts of fear, his eyes perfectlyPumped with veins from the sleepless years,"

At this point I am hunkered on the edge of your seeming contradictions, "elegant gnawing", "perfectly/Pumped with veins..." I am pumped...

then...understated terror:

"But a smile does twitch to life,Like a beaten wifeWhen such a drunken husbandDoes call."

I found my mouth twitching in fear.

There are a lot of great expressions in this poem "the squeamish organs of fear". Refering to secrets as "sleek and fleeting frills".

The other thing I noticed about this poem is that it seems to be a dream or out-of-body experience, as though "he" passes in and out of death.

Very well done. You've justified my adding you to my favorites. Thanks for sharing your words!

Please, keep writing!

abuseWow... I loved it! This one was absolutely amazing. I just wanted to check out some of your own work... thank you for reviewing 'Disillusioned Hearts.' Keep up the good work, and also, if you're interested- please check out my chapter story: An Assassin's Bounty. Thanks again, and good job.
