The ending..

I really love Chels for setting the whole contest with simple notions.... those notions that made TKR produce EPIC pieces...

LOVE THIS!!

Brilliant! Ilike the mixture of poetry and chemistry (formaldehyde). It really took my breathe away and not let it back.

This poem is filled with emotions, it made me think of many things. Really great piece, perfectly written..

My favorites seem to be filling up with your poems! Haha.

"Late at night, extinguishing memories

blazing within my feverish destruction,

blending a melting sunset, with

morbid thoughts of a violent moon."

^Late at night is when our brains come out to play. They love to torture us sometimes, I think. I always love when someone writes about the sun and moon... it always captures my eye. A melting sunset - such a great metaphor...as the sun creeps down, it does look like it is melting. Morbid thoughts of a violent moon - that flows so great. I just keep saying it over and over, lol.

"Hallucinations of thirsty rivers devour

my mental sanity, dividing harsh reality,

with a kiss of formaldehyde dreams."

^Seriously, only you would think of "with a kiss of formaldehyde dreams" ... it's fantastic. I'm jealous lol. Anyway, sometimes we would rather have dreams than reality...because like you said reality is harsh and just real... we can dream whatever we want. :)

"I'm a decayed train wreck, wasting

away those purple haze tears,

standing alone upon the bridge,

despair consumes my world,

not enough to jump,

but this bridge is my home,

for now...."

^Well, purple haze always reminds me of weed... so I don't know if you meant it like that, but I so took it that way...lol. I suppose you used it as some great metaphor that I'm too dumb to understand... yeah, probably. Standing along the lonely bridge, you don't have enough courage to jump so the bridge will just have to be your home. "For now..." makes the whole poem... it's fantastic.

Wonderfantasuperad... A new word just for your work :) Yeah, I've been up too long, looking at this screen too long, so I'm slap happy.

This poem is simply amazing and I am so glad that you beat me in that round. Your poem blew me away, especially the ending. Wonderful hun, the images and descriptions are in depth. Awesome write hun

LOVED IT
