She Whispered in Your Ear


The weight of the past
Anchored my composure
Into a symphony
Of the breached emotions
Exposed upon my face

Thoughts circled in my mind
Until panic set in

-Her gazed fixed upon me-

I promised myself then
I'd do everything
To make this the last time
You will ever see me

I too can disappear
Away within the wind's
Cackles and hollow moans


-Juju


-Juju

-"So you found a girl
Who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts " Silent all these Years, Tori Amos

I too can disappear

And sometimes, that's the only option besides breaking... Wonderful write!

Stand tall Juju.

It's a healthy thing to do.

That's strong writing Juju.  

Perhaps a slightly weaker point is S2:

"Thoughts circled in my mind
Until panic set in"

The language doesn't live up to the originality of the rest, but most of all that strophe seems redundant - i.e. you can remove it without affecting the remainder of the poem.

But overall, I thought that the piece grew as it proceeded, and I enjoyed the closing lines especially.

Many thanks.

Well, don't go too far.

Nicely done with a unique perspective.

Moonbeam, If you have ever been in a true panic... you don't think.  You freeze.

Ju?

Some people just blow the stuffing out stuff when they freeze.

(*wince* I've got a little adrenaline problem)



Still good stuff, no matter which way y'go.

Yeah, the adrenalin thing is better, cause your not waiting for something to snap yopu out of it.  Though I have to say that the one sentence was awkward, I didn't have an issue with it other than that.  I was just retelling an event in my life.

I totally agree Juju.  But I wasn't commenting on the accuracy of what you were trying to depict, but firstly on whether it was really necessary to say it, and mainly the way you said it.  But like I mentioned, it was a small point.
