    Rab & Sunny,

    I love this type of formed poem and when they're in a string they flow beautifully if written well and with that I can tell you this poem was well written.

    "unwrittten words unspoken"
    ^You have three t's in unwritten here.

    I have a few favourite lines but I must say "poetry of skin" intrigued me. I am an art student and the other day in class we were speaking about the body as a canvas and it's true the skin is one of the most beautiful and complex designs created. I am currently working on a sculpture based work that incorporates my poetry and the human body so to read this line I can just imagine the beauty of it in my mind.

    "thunder bolts spark fingers" wonderful description, unique. I liked this poem simply because it talks about the connection between two people and yet it doesn't specify if it is between a couple, two friends, two collab partners or even between poetry and person.

  • It helps to listen
    as much as it helps to talk
    therein is balance

    ^^
    I like the truth in this opening stanza.
    Some poeple talk and talk, yet find it difficult to just listen - and we need to have that balance.

    within sweet silence
    a simplistic bond is formed
    between two lost souls

    ^^
    I love this stanza. Again the honesty here simple yet beautiful. Sometimes the silence doesn't necessarily have to be awkward... sometimes it can imply a calm between two people. I think the bond formed between those who are able to remain in a comfortable silence together can sometimes be stronger than words.

    sorrow splashes tears
    distance unfolds our passion
    connecting pure thoughts

    ^^
    At first I thought that first line needed rewording a tad, but it really fits beautifully.
    The previous stanzas (to me) implied friendship whereas this one seems to imply a loving relationship. But I suppose all great relationships first begin as friendships and even remain a friendship through.

    poetry of skin
    unwrittten words unspoken
    drawn within our blood

    ^^
    I loved that first line! Quite unique.
    'unwrittten' should be 'unwritten' (less a 't')
    that last line describes the poet's work perfectly - our poems are apart of us, an extension of ourselves - we express our pain, sorrow, happiness, love, thoughts, memories... and with each finished piece we share a little part of ourselves - so it can be seen as our blood, our life captured in a written rendition.

    raw emotions sing
    as thunder bolts spark fingers
    uniting as one

    ^^
    Beautiful detail here. A nice ending to the piece, especially that last line - it really ties all the stanzas together -- each you have described will unite people.

    A fantastic collaboration!!
    It was seamless which really made it perfect.

    5/5
