Essence Fading:


Loosing clarity from within my eyes.
I see no way, but I see the lies.
It's heavens gate and the hell we know.
My very own mind is my only foe.

Clouds of never surround my soul.
My puzzle is missing its completion, its whole.
Burning embers in the distance steam.
Energy in form, live on light beam!




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Hah... nice critique message.
Want constructive criticism?  I really can't add much to what you already have here, y'know.  You did a great job on this.
Simple format and scheme, but nice ending line.
I like it.

well I dont think you need to get better. first stanza was very vivid and clear, I have absolutely no problems with the beginning...

I have not a clue what your saying in the ending, although i see images....maybe you should try and be a little less subtle?

good job tho bro

I like this one.  I like the smaller poems you've been recently writing.  They're pretty good little pieces.  They really hit hard.  Your imagery mixed, with metaphor, is quite admirable.

As far as critique is concerned, I am with Jeremydraul on that last stanza.  I am getting the vibe that it is talking about telecomunications.  IE, the last sentence:

"
Burning embers in the distance steam.
Energy in form, live on light beam!
"

Just taking a wild guess, you're talking about soe disaster scene that you are seeing on TV.  Of course, if my english teacher from senior highschool were here, she'd be chewing me out, saying that I'm speculating too much. :D

Well...with this one...how much better do you want to get?   Your pieces in my opinion have always been above average. I'll keep reading, and letting you know though!
