Stained

You appear like raindrops,
extinguishing, suppressing,
these raging demons, enflamed fears,
leaving charred remains to wash away.

You speak with gasoline,
arousing, igniting,
this wild, dangerous love,
my heart implodes, explodes, every word you say.

You leave like you sink through,
forever staining, breaking,
this already crippled heart,
hoping, praying for your return one day.

Comment please! (Will always return the favor!)

    The imagery in this is awesome. Starting with water, then going to fire, then finishing it off with the after effects with both. Keep writing!

    This piece was well structured, thought, and formed. I liked its simplicity but also loved how deep it felt when reading it. Poetry comes from the heart and mind. Emotions on paper and this is a good example in my opinion. The title works well also. Good write, thanks for this!

    Nice!

    I like the vivid descriptions. It goes a long way to explain the feeling of a broken heart. Good luck.

    Great

    This is great. I agree with grannyari, the "-ing" adjectives are wonderful. Metaphors, like comparing words to gasoline and starting with the raindrop-like-entrance, are done just as well. It really says a lot for such a small poem. This reminds me of an emotionally abusive relationship, where one person is cruel to the other, but the second person still cares deeply for the first. Overall, I can't think of anything that needs to be improved. Well penned.

    This is a very passionate piece, passions almost too hot to handle
    'this wild dangerous love'
    one moment inflaming...
    'you speak with gasoline'
    the next moment extinguishing...
    'You appear like raindrops'
    The heart seems to have been so hurt by the experience, one wonders why the return would be prayed for!
    Some very effective imagery to convey the strength of uncontrolled feelings. Well done

    Powerful.

    The language is powerul and leaves vivid images in the mind, of rain, of flame. The use of two related words side by side (lines 2, 6, 8, 10, 12) makes for a memorable description. I love the comparisons you make (lines 1, 3, 9). This is a poem that I will remember for its rich descriptions and words.
