Vexation.

by Courageous Dreamer   Oct 4, 2009


Anxiety consumes years
of life without meaning.
Severely damaging
eternal being, threatening
to reverse sanity and afflict me
with psychosis for eternity.

Plaguing of questions,
earthquake shaking thoughts
torrential tears develop a
raging monsoon.

Hours are shredded, lost
in silence and curiosity
of a solution. I'm quickly
falling from this extreme
height of vexation.

    So sorry for my late comment Temps, I need to get back on track!

    "Anxiety consumes years
    of life without meaning.
    Severely damaging
    eternal being, threatening
    to reverse sanity and afflict me
    with psychosis for eternity."

    Striking lines, very provoking words that spread truth to the soul.

    "Plaguing of questions,
    earthquake shaking thoughts
    torrential tears develop a
    raging monsoon."

    Great use of adjectives here, some of these words are new to me, well at least "torrential" is in a way.

    "Hours are shredded, lost
    in silence and curiosity
    of a solution."

    This is a very relatable poem Temps, and that draws the connection to the reader and the poem ever so closely here. I liked "hours are shredded" that statement stated what you wanted to say very boldly.

    "I'm quickly
    falling from this extreme
    height of vexation."

    Wonderful display of your true emotions, another powerful poem by you.

    5/5 from me, well worth the read, realistic and thought-provoking...

    Keep smiling!

    Great title! Really captured my attention.

    "of life without meaning.
    Severely damaging
    eternal being,"
    ^I really enjoyed the eternal rhyme here. It was quite subtle and added a nice touch to the first stanza as a whole because it kept me interested to keep reading.

    "to reverse sanity and afflict me
    with psychosis for eternity."
    ^Great job with the rhyme here as well. I can see you trying new things and that its really good to see because you're growing as a poet with each poem.

    "earthquake shaking thoughts
    torrential tears develop a
    raging monsoon."
    ^there seems to be a comma missing here...like this just runs out and left me out of breath. I liked your choice of words and as a whole the image you created was quite powerful but it just needs a little cleaning up technically.

    "Hours are shredded"
    ^ I like that...never seen it said like that before.

    "in silence and curiosity
    of a solution. I'm quickly
    falling from this extreme
    height of vexation. "
    ^ I liked how you ended it with the subtle rhyme again...nice touch to tie the poem in together at the end!

    I could really relate with your words here Temps...the emotion you evoked with your poem was quite outstanding and it hit home with me. I'm sure many have felt in that position once or twice in their life as well which makes it an even better read because many can find comfort in your words. It might have of been short, but it packed a punch and I sure did enjoy reading it.

    Well done!
    *5/5*
