Lost in the Wave

by My Beautiful Curse   Mar 25, 2012


Feelings of emptiness in this vast desert
Always a sense of tranquility
Looking at me seems so overt
Love being a possibility

Can't find my way through this haze
Feeling of daggers stabbing my heart
Everything always seems like a maze
Feels like I've been marked

I know your there drowning in darkness
Trying to catch your breath
I'm always there in the shadows
Always saving you from death

If your not to preoccupied
I've been waiting by the shore
Waiting for you as you sink
Your not listening anymore

    First of all, I love the title.

    Second of all, I enjoyed reading the poem
    But there were parts that seemed to me like there were just put there as a way to fill the lines.
    Other than that it was good. It reminded me of two of my poems combined.

    Keep up the good work.

    I like that title because there is so much that can be associated with it, that it basicially makes the reader curious by only giving them an idea about what to find, but not actually revealing it.
    Obviously the poem will be rather negative because being lost is not what one would refer to as a happy moment, but I was eager to figure out how you'd connect it to the wave (ocean and its powers).

    First of all, the fact that you ended every line with a period bothers me, it seems kind of distracting and I do not think it's necessary either because one will automatically pause there because of the flow, since you decided to write a rhyming poem. At times it almost feels like you focused on the rhymes working so much that you ended up forming the sentence according to the rhyme. (I chose not to write rhyming poetry because it is really tough to make it sound naturally and good, yours isn't bad, but it does need some improvement)

    The third stanza was my favorite out of the four because I could feel the connection to the title and you actually used the image of the ocean, which I thought worked out pretty good.

    I did see that this is your first poem and I am positive there is potential, keep up writing! :)

    - I do not mean to sound like my poems are perfect, they are very far from that, just trying to offer some constructive criticism
