abuseah, ah, ah

"hanging low & obvious" "holes in the darkness" "flirting vibrations" "drawling despondence" "leak liquid glass"

and of course... "you never were a diamond"

how i love it. excessively. it has been some time since i have been so impressed by a poem that all i'm capable of doing is throwing lines back in the feeble guise of a review.

truly adored.

abusei wanted a knife, or maybe
just to use my hands
to rip into your shadows and
see if you would laugh
(would you leak liquid glass?)
or if you'd scream
and bleed.

Chilling. Beautiful.

abuseyou're so talented- it's incredible. you seriously need to be published in a journal or something. this was gorgeous, and more of a testimony to that fact.

abusei can understand the character you're describing so well...i think it's because i'm like that. just a little bit. the last stanza...brutal but honest and it's magnificent i must say. you absolutely astound me with your imagery and the sheer COLOR you add to your words. it's marvelous. great work.

abuseThe imagery here is so vivid and surreal, truly describing and empowering to the emotions you seem to convey. I agree with a previous reviewer, in stating that stanza four seems off, but.. overall, the poem is a masterpiece. It speaks of raw pain and realism, yet with maturity as well. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

abuseYou have some really interesting images in this - I love the lines "shook the wiring of my heart" and "would you leak liquid glass?" the most. It's mature and questioning and just wonderfully done. Keep writing! :)

abusethe last stanza is my favorite. there's a kind of cold thoughtfulness to it, instead of the violence you might otherwise associate with that imagery, that makes it so much more raw and real.

abuseyour imagery is vibrant and alive with passion. stanza 4 is missing this color and is therefore somewhat out of place. liquid glass, wiring of my heart, ice/smooth against my pupils, all of it... it's beautiful in an exquisite way, very delicate and yet harsh with the power of its content and connotations. i've missed reading your work. i hope to see more in the future.
