that was so good... i love how you used different colours and the contrasts. there's really good imagery and your rhyme and rythm is really good as well... love it...

nice rhythm and rhymes. i like the use of colour in all three paragraphs: "Brown tears of muddy ochre", then ruby, finally blue. it helps create strong visuals. nice work.

Your descriptions and imagery are always spot on, so GREAT. :) I could write on and on about how great your writing is! Keep it up!

I like the darkness of the piece, especially enhanced by words like 'blunted' 'crimson' which bring out images of death and mystery. But I think the rhyme and rhythm here aren't as strong as they usually are in your other poems; I guess the gentle flow gives the narrator a weaker character, but I always prefer poems with regular metres xD

"Muddy ochre." Vivid description.

"Its crimson colour finding." This part of the poem flowed particularly well.

Aw!
Not sure why, but this reminded me of Tir Alainn...
Maybe it was the whole female torture/suffering thing.

I liked it. :)

But still there flows the ruby, its crimson colour finding,

And dripping it too stains, the purity of my binding;

Lovely line. Its so terriably sad, the flow is well done and the images you convay are strong but oh so sad.

You are so good with words! *praises for eternity*

I really think of that movie now! Even though she did not die...

Its so sad, your words really get the tragic feel across and all the imagery. I like "marring snowy white in shade" and your last lineshows she was ready for the release of death... poor woman :(

Darkly, hauntingly beautiful, like a distant nightmare sound rising from an inhuman howl to sad music. I felt that some of the lines could be improved, but "...the purity of my binding;" and "...as calmness takes an owning hold," slide down the spine both tingling and soothing.
