Raver’s Ecstasy  II:  Dance of Eternity

*Thump, thump, thump*
Close your eyes, and see the music.
Lure yourself into the rapture of beats,
Find yourself assimilated into the crowd.
Your body becomes a ventricle,
For pulsating fury.

Immolation is the price,
For subjecting to the concerto of sounds.
Darkness claims its dues, as the bass settles in.
You are not of this world. It’s theirs.
Glow-sticks are their hand-lanterns.
Zombies of the dance-floor;
Lead me into deadly bliss.

I have to say this is a really dissapointing start, I think that " * " is quite alright for MSN or IRC but I'm not keen to see them in poetry, that however is my personal onion . As for the actual line, I like it, the repetition works well, so all in all it's not that disappointing really.


quote:

Lure yourself into the rapture of beats,
Find yourself assimilated into the crowd.

Wow, I really like this, such great imagery, I like the idea that you can see the music. This section works really well in my opinion, the imagery, the flow, everything works well.
quote:
Immolation is the price,
For subjecting to the concerto of sounds.
Darkness claims its dues, as the bass settles in.


I like the opening but got a little confused by the rest, this section continues with a very smooth flow. One point I'd like to raise is subjecting a word? I checked in my dictionary and couldn't find it, but I was also worried about the context, I think submitting might be better, of course this is just my opinion.

quote:
You are not of this world. It’s theirs.
Glow-sticks are their hand-lanterns.
Zombies of the dance-floor;
Lead me into deadly bliss.


Heh I just love these last few lines, they are just wonderful, especially "You are not of this world. It’s theirs.", I like that, but to me it says that your an outsider and I'm not sure if thats what you mean. This is a little darker than the previous installment and to be honest I think I like it better.

Anyway great writing Alex, hope to see more of your wonderful writing in this series.

Its ok. I replied to another poem the other day and simply said "um."

At any rate, " " meant that I liked it.

Yeah! Andrew---I agree with you on the "*" thing...I was pressed for time and dolley'd this together! Hahaha...that's quite the reply I got from you there! I love it, thanks!

And yeah...I miss the whole rave scene! *sniffles*

Thanks Del, and Kielo for your 24 cents!

"subjecting" is a word, but I do agree with Andrew on how "submitting" would possibly work better.  
I do believe that this is an excellent continuation of the first one Snake. I'm very impressed Good to see you around

*sighs* The rave scene - it bloody rocks.

This one is much better than the first one. You've described the scene a lot better and included the music a little more.
I wrote one on the rave scene a few months back called 'The absence of water'. I'll show it to you sometime. I think you'd get a kick out of it, especially if you're a psycho druggie like me - lol.

Hahahaha.... this is great, 'droid. I'm glad you continued the theme.

I enjoyed this one, but I have to be honest, and say I think I liked the first one better, even though you described it more detailedly (a word?) this go around. The other seemed more... less forced, if you will. The flow seems a bit... choppy. And I'd love it if it were longer. But, that's just me. You're getting good response. What you want to do is what you should end up writing. *bows out*
