Nausea lurching on an untrembling cliff.
Branches reaching out to the sea of abyss.
These sombre thoughts metamorphose,
A state.
Of metastasis.
A clasp of narcosis now relinquished
Positivity in nascent.
Fetters need not be removed by a form of ectomy
As this pain is now exiguous.
Our lives become ambiguous
Not merely a medium for atavistic desires
Or hedonistic devices
But also a vessel to carry the cargo of despair
Atop these crumpled waves
During carnal days.

I think the message here is strong but the wording is far to complex. For example: "Fetters need not be removed by a form of ectomy as this pain is now exiguous". Way to extraneous. On the other hand " But also a vessel to carry the cargo of despair atop these crumpled waves" is wonderfully worded yet simple and straight forward. The best poets use simple words but weave them in a brilliant way. good job. |

i agree with you up there. impressive vocabulary but the eloquent wording overrides the meaning, and nothing should detract from the truth in your write. |
