Wretched

Wretched, but wrenching write, wreally wonderful...

;)

Thank you, my friend!
 
Pain is only relevant when it continues to cause overwhelming discomfort. The soul cannot truly exist unless one is allowed an escape...
 
Your comments are sincerely appreciated--especially at this time--'wreally, wreally.' :)

Dang! Can dark ink be more beautiful?
"The brilliant brevity
Of my soul's prismatic patterns,
Exsanguinates in frantic futile beatings
With shredded ineffectual wings"<-- my eyes had a WOW Moment.

If I haven't told you lately, you are Amazing! Xo

Rain, my cherished friend,

Your words have  both  lifted my spirit, and humbled me-- simultaneously! Thank you so very much, my friend!! I am most grateful!

(BTW....may i just say that i think that you are the one who is  a m a z i n g!)

Poetic respect....and love!  Xo

Enchantress - sometimes only when our body's torn is there the freedom for our words to soar - cool writings

Whale....i must say that i find myself agreeing with you.
 
Sometimes our very souls must be sliced wide open, in order for us to 'bleed' our words on parchment....to let our thoughts escape their bonds.
 
Thank you for visiting within my realm, and for leaving me your sagacious insight.  Much appreciated!

Gabriel, my friend,

Thank you for  leaving your generous words beneath my poem! You always know how to make me smile! xo

Thanks ever so much for your visit!  It is always a pleasure to have you within my realm! :) <3

Finding it hard to breathe...you sucked the air right out of me,and that picture it's so sad :( fly butterfly,fly...

O, Hashman, my friend,

Your gracious words have fairly made me catch my breath as well!

Thank you so very much! Your words are so very appreciated!

The picture is--indeed--very sad.....just seemed to match the tone of this piece.....

(the wings of my spirit are gradually mending...i will be soaring....soon.)

Sioch`ain leat!

Enchanted one
This is some surprisingly dark poetry from the get go. Marvelous usage of alliteration going on, maybe continuous instead of continued but hardly a game changer either way.

all in I think this one easily ranks up there as one of your best which is no frivolous accolade

great stuff Miss, fair play, shine on

Awwe...Mo Chara,

Go raibh maith agat.....so very much!

Your support, and encouragement are always deeply appreciated!  I am soo very honored that you chose to add this piece to your reading list!  This probably the best compliment that you could possibly offer!x

( BTW~~~After considering your suggestion, i find that i agree with you, and will implement the change. Thanks for your keen insight!)

This is so fantastic....reading list, my favorite of yours DE, well done, you're an inspiration :) ....in a dark poetic way....thank you

SW, my friend,

I am bowing my head in humility....such generous comments! You have inspired me---to be certain!
Thank you so much!

I am so surely honored by your reading-list addition...a special thanks, here! I am glad that you enjoyed this piece!

You've always been worthy; believe it and know it. Your cocoon holds jewels as proof of this poem. Dark doesn't always win. Forgive yourself and fly. Never stop writing.

Jake,
 
Thank you, my friend! Your belief in me---in my writing--gives me soo much hope!  I am encouraged by your thoughtful,generous, lovely comments!x
 
Thanks for adding this piece to your reading list! You have truly honored me!!
 
Your understanding is sincerely appreciated! In time,i will heal....with mended wings i will fly once again....  

"mica eyes" ... Brilliant! I was pulled in by this alone ... As noted by others - your use of alliteration was wonderful ... A gorgeously ghastful write

LSP,

I wish to thank you for your gracious, generous words of praise!  Coming from such an accomplished poet, i am so very honored--indeed!

You have truly strengthened my confidence, regarding my use of alliteration. This is one of my favorite poetic devices, and i am delighted that my incorporation has proven to be successful.

It is always a pleasure when you visit my realm, and i am glad that you appreciate my rather grizzly, ('gorgeously ghastful') style! :)

What can I say or do,
but agree with all of
the above...the
fragility of life is
indeed as vulnerable
as a butterfly's wing,
but there are times when
it can also be as beautiful,
such as when you write...

Paul, my faithful Friend,

I am , as always, so very appreciative of your support...your visits to my realm.

Indeed--life is a paradox...harsh, brutal...yet, fragile,and beautiful.  Thank you for understanding what is in between my lines....

And for seeing the beauty in my words.:)

My sweet sorceress Awesome script sweets!!
Love the read!!
I adore this new ink!!


Sir Lancelott

Ahhhh,Sir Lancelot, my knight,

I am delighted by thy visit within the shadows of my realm! Thou hast been missed--indeed!

I am ever grateful for thy sweet, gracious, generous words of praise!

'Tis glad that i am that my darker ink hath pleased thee. I extend my deepest gratitude to thee!

This is quite breathtaking in its darkness and its beauty.

Wonderful Enchantress.

My Friend,  
 
Thank you for your generous, lovely comments! Please know how much I truly appreciate, and value, your visits!  
 
Magdalena...you always bring gladness to my spirit, with your gracious words.

The last stanza just took my breath away, but then again the whole piece is so beautifully crafted that as a reader i felt the anguish and the wretchedness conveyed.  You are so right, the soul must be free for us to soar, it is ultimately our 'wings', thank you for this wonderful thought provoking piece my dear Enchantress.  

Nikki, dear friend,

I am honored by your visit, and by your gracious, generous comments! Thank you, ever so much! I am soo appreciative--to be sure!

You are so correct...when the 'soul' is held captive, we are without our 'wings'. Our quality of life disappears--as does our will to l i v e....we merely exist....

this is outstanding work.

Truly, i appreciate the time that you took to read, and to leave your generous thoughts, beneath this piece!

Thank you so very much!

Ultra, it is a pleasure, indeed, to have you visiting within my realm--once again.  Please know that you are always welcome!

Likewise

The beating of this butterfly's wings knocks me off my feet.  I wrote a poem not too long ago in which I mention "my onyx eyes."  Different mineral, save wavelength.  Enchanting as always.

Crow, i am so very honored by your thoughtful comments!  Thank you ever soo much!

It will always be a pleasure to have you visiting within my realm!

(Same wavelength...i rather like that we are, perhaps, in 'tune' in just this way!)

It appears I may have been a little preoccupied earlier this year and missed this gem.
 
It's a dark and powerful piece of writing, Enchantress. On my first read I got this sense of imprisonment, as if the protagonist was begging for freedom from a violent and tragic relationship. But the key for me is the last stanza and the words seemed too familiar for me personally and following reads of the poem gave me a sense that the protagonist was the enemy and the victim cocooned in the one entity, self loathing, self destructing and helpless  
 
The poem is very well written with great use of alliteration. I often apply subtle use of both alliteration and assonance rhyming in my poems, but you've proved that when combined with excellent word selection, liberal use of these subtle rhyming techniques can create tremendous flow without compromising on content, impact and mood.  
 
Concise and thought provoking. It's always a pleasure rediscovering and reading your beautiful craft, Enchantress.

Your ink just astounds me Lady. It truly does. I'm not going to pick bits. 'Cause then I'd miss bits. Beautiful as always my dear Enchantress. Every word and line. Thank you. xo

Impressive.

This is such a captivating write.
The intensity ...so very potent.
Brilliant ink, my friend.

My Friend....i am so very honored that you took the time to read,one of my older postings!! Thank you, so very much, for leaving your gracious words of praise, and for your RL!! I am truly humbled, and appreciative!

Intimate and soulful.  The alliteration and your choice of words are stunning.

Faint flutterings fade
Within toxic memories,
And anguish appeases from silent screams
To inevitable numbing..
So poignant!  Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, so very much,,,,,your gracious comments, and RL add, are deeply appreciated, my friend. Always brings extra smiles whenever a new member reads, and comments on older entries.  :)))

An irresistible masterpiece, which enchanted me..endlessly. You are stunning love,

I wholeheartingly love it,

Mo Chara nua....i bow my head--humbled and honored by your comments.....extending my gratitude to you for the pleasure of your presence within my realm, and your more than generous words of praise upon my page!

Thank you---ever so much! I appreciate you!

NOTE:  Split sunsets....this reply is for you! (I definitely need to take notice, to ensure that i click "reply"....rather than "comment"...my apologies!

This is an awesome dark piece and the artwork addition is perfect - I had to read this a few times and it left me feeling that it was what goes on in my head  - fantastic write :-)

Huge tartan hugs my friend :-)

David...your praise brings smiles to my very soul! More often, than not, it is a picture that inspires a piece for me. But, in this particular instance, i had completed this poem, and was randomly browsing online pics, when i discovered this one. It seemed a perfect pairing, and i'm glad you thought so, as well! Thank you, Mo Chara, for being so supportive of my work! I truly appreciate you!! Big huge hugs are on the way to you!

Holy crap! How am I just now finding this one... probably one of my favorites of yours I have read! Heart-wrenching, yet breathtaking! Excellent writing, Enhantress....!

My Dear Friend....

Thank You for (ALL) the visits to my realm....and for such  awesome words of praise!!! I am truly grateful, for the time you have taken to read and comment on this poem, and i am sincerely humbled and honored by your RL addition!

Your continued kindness, and support is deeply appreciated!!!

It is my pleasure... and you have certainly offered me the same grace :)

A dark fluent ink with no breaking points other then the breaking of the butterfly itself

Shakespearean-Sweet....

Thank You, so much, for such an uplifting, intuitive compliment! This is veRRy appreciated--to be certain!  In essence, this is the over-all concept of this poem....that one's spirit, like the delicate butterfly, needs to be free....to able to soar...in order to thrive!

May i say, Welcome to You...Mo Chara Nua! it brings me SMILES, whenever i discover a new-comer within my realm! Please know that you may wander thru anytime!

Sioch`ain leat--A l w a y s!

Thank you so very much, much respect. I love and enjoy , your display of emotions of words that are not slap words. Your intuitive style of writing is wonderful.
