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 [This message has been edited by Juju (03-25-2009 12:28 AM).] |

"I promised myself then I'd do everything To make this the last time You will ever see me I too can disappear" this isn't sad to me, it's strong and I like it very much!! |

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. -P Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

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. |

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

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. -Juju |

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. |

I too can disappear Away within the wind's Cackles and hollow moans ~*~ Beautiful! |
