this is truly amazing!

wow :-) i like this a lot. a lot of feeling. intense poetry is the best kind :-)

Beautiful, I absolutely adore this, I love the "back then, the vision of purity/was blurred/ and now, blackened-/"absoolute power corrupts absolutely" bit. Amazing job! Thanks for the reveiws!

I really like the ending... "a different story/an alternative ending" are 2 awesome lines

Aw, again, sad but I really like this one, too. You're a good writer. Keep it up. )

I like it! It kinda reminded me of the stuff I write but with better ideas. That sounded dumb, okay :)

“absolute power corrupts absolutely”

-very true

it seems slight themed toward the idea of costumes

must have been the date.

Really, really vivid. I love the message and question you present at the end. I especially liked the image "like the darkening prayer/held by pale hands-" - what a stark, moving contrast! Keep writing, k.
