[hometext] => It's sad to say goodbye and it's hard to be alone. But sometimes, things like this come out of the darkness, and it lights the next step for me.
[bodytext] =>
Instantaneously I feel
wrapped in the proverbial cocoon
of hate and loneliness.
Alone in this empty typhoon
of hopes so tempting,
eternally out of reach you dangled
tantalizing images of future.
Choking on plastic apples I strangled,
you walked away to leave me sifting
sands seeking absolution in self burial.
A saviour from constancy of existential breathing
the mirage hovers above with cudgel
poised to free the soul to drifting.
Melt to mix in melted gold a fool
fallen from wisdom remitted to deserved state,
bleeding entrapped within a ghoul.
Dampened souls conduct pain's current
through veins shattered on impulse.
Writhe through images, torn, taken,
raped again, in memory convulse.
Shed a tear, darkened soul, shed a tear,
melt away the cocoon.
Shed a tear.

"Melt to mix in melted gold a fool
fallen from wisdom remitted to deserved state,"

Kara, you are so incrediby talented.
To be honest, I had to read this a few times to let it all sink in.
Very heavy, very sad, but you wrote it in a way where anybody could relate to it on some level.
I loved the last two lines:
Shed a tear, darkened soul, shed a tear, melt away the cocoon. Shed a tear.
Beautifully painful.
Very very well done!

Wow another hella good write and this made
a lot more sense once I followed the
punctuation (damn your a stickler lol j/k). I just
loved how you used the words "cocoon" and
"typhoon" at the beginning it really added to
the write overall.
"Dampened souls conduct pain's current
through veins shattered on impulse."
And what is not to love in those two lines?
*shakes head* I love the allusions to
electricity there that was just brilliant! There's
probably a lot more in this poem that I am
missing as well.

phew..
Kara..
Your write was an assemblege
of pain and sadness, written with
beautiful majesty..
imagery alone..earns 5 stars
though I would've personified a bit more..
and a division of stanzas perhaps..
(for more of a powerful write)
Either way..it was awesome-
5 from me-
B
