self inflicted

Missing image
The jagged, blinding whiteness?
the weeping face of divinity.
the center of forgiveness?
the ripple of infinity.

A victim of our circumstance?
a pain is self inflicted.
in a burning room we dance.
an ignorance depicted!

For in the darkness, the spirit grieves.
with great strife will she endeavor.
drowning in the stagnant seas.
should our eyes be closed forever.

In a list

      thank you

      i wanted to leave the reader with an urgent sense that there is more to be done here ... if that makes any sense ..

  • Great leveling here my friend. Truly deep

    I would prompt for greater detail(remember, a lived experience/potentially livable), but it could hinder a wonderful flow.

    Fantastic whisperings as always...

    I believe I read this in the past, but can't seem to find a comment that I wrote (which surprises me as I enjoyed the piece.) Anyway, here's a comment then. Nice emotion in this piece, as well as a nice job avoiding trite, cliche rhyme.

    Yeah I like the title, I use the last line as the title quite often. Very deep, but somehow I think it should be longer. very vivid imagery. good word

    i really like this, it's portrays a very vivid concept. the thought of escaping from the world through closing your eyes is just wonderful. i like the title as it is, because that's the main point i think. the rhyming was also very wonderful, not forced at all. great write, keep it up!

    With strong imagery and a great poetic structure, your poem grabs the attention and instills them with images of what's lost and gone. That's what I like about your poems, the fact that it's so well written that it grabs their attention and pulls them into it. With an amazing usage of words in flow and the rhyming scheme, this easily makes the poem a reading worth the time. Keep it up!

    Everything about this piece worked well! The flow the length, the rhyme and the deep underlying meaning. This gave incredible imagery of a passion for the eternal, and the despair for those lost. I really loved this, it touched me.

    This felt surreal and yet deeply meaningful. The rhyming is perfect and the words used are very strong and distinct.

    As mankind moves on to greater things I wonder do we disturb the balance of the universe. Can one person dictate others fate. Yes for history proves so. Danger lurks. great write & ty for your kind comment

    Ahhh... I love the flow here - it is as serene as it is poignant. Perception beyond what eye can see, set adrift in the waves.. This is truly a thought provoking write. Excellent piece.

    Wow I really like this!! I can read a lot of my life in those lines.

    I think you have left this abstract enough that the reader can interpret their own story to the words... though I am intrigued but what inspired it!

    Wow.. this was really really good.. You could take this many ways.. Yet it all has the same meaning..lol. If that makes any sense.. My way of seeing this is, that the world is a dark place(sometimes) and we doubt ourselves in everything that we do, also. We blind ourselves willing from the truth sometimes.. But thats just me being weird and seeing to much into it more then likely..lol. great write. You did a really good job on this one..
