Epitaph to our fading love. Depressing sea of emptiness, A fading love she can’t confess, Desires so strong I can’t impress, Shrinking stars and tragic gloom, Empty sky so pale and blue, Void and empty, how our love grew, Thought that it was pure and true, In the darkness of my room, Love betrayed deep in her eyes, And I grew tired of her sighs, Underneath the darker skies, As summer lost it’s fresh bloom, Words like daggers cause me pain, Drowning me, my ball and chain, As love fades your powers wane, Bringing glory to the gloom. Zu  " In childhood we live under the brightness of immortality - heaven is as near and as actual as the seaside"- Graham Greene " Ministry of Fear [This message has been edited by Marshalzu (edited 08-18-2001).] |

Depressing sea of emptiness, A fading love she can’t confess, Desires so strong I can’t impress, Shrinking stars and tragic gloom, ------------------------------------------ The first stanza is amazing. I love the tone and mood it sets. ------------------------------------------ Empty sky so pale and blue, Void and empty, how our love grew, Thought that it was pure and true, In the darkness of my room, ------------------------------------------ This confuses me a little bit. In the first stanza you say "a fading love", this makes me think that the love was real to begin with, but is now diminishing. In this stanza you make it sound like the love was never true. ------------------------------------------- Love betrayed deep in her eyes, And I grew tired of her sighs, Underneath the darkers skies, As summer lost it’s fresh bloom, -------------------------------------------- Loved this one too. No complaints  -------------------------------------------- Words like daggers cause me pain, Drowning me my ball and chain, As love fades your powers wane, Bringing glory to the gloom. -------------------------------------------- Only complaint here is that I don't like the transition from me to my. Great end stanza. Perfect imagery and a great way to tie everything together. -------------------------------------------- Thanks for the read this is one of the best poems I have read in a long time. I hope you don't mind me taking it apart. ~Susie ~*~Born to Blossom and Bloom to Perish~*~ |

Deepest critique? Okies! "Depressing sea of emptiness, A fading love she can’t confess, Desires so strong I can’t impress, Shrinking stars and tragic gloom," This first stanza paves the way to a beautiful poem. The descriptions using the sea and stars was a very good idea. Makes the depression seem endless. This makes the poem almost have an eery tone to it. The next stanza... "Empty sky so pale and blue, Void and empty, how our love grew, Thought that it was pure and true, In the darkness of my room," The first line was good.. I like the way you used the sky.. also a very big object, giving you the impression of endlessness. (if that's a word) I don't understand why you explained the growing love as "void and empty". And I don't quite understand what your room had to do with the love.. Hmm.. maybe I'm wrong? "Love betrayed deep in her eyes, And I grew tired of her sighs, Underneath the darker skies, As summer lost it’s fresh bloom," This stanza, technically, wasn't as good as the others. There are rhythm problems, that effects the flow. The second line doesn't read as well as the rest... Other than that, the content is nice. I don't know why you included that you got tired of her sighs.. that didn't click with me. "Words like daggers cause me pain, Drowning me, my ball and chain, As love fades your powers wane, Bringing glory to the gloom." I liked the finish. Technically, I think you could add the word "our" in the third line, making it "As our love fades, your powers wane". That would make it read a little easier.. I liked the first two lines of this stanza. Using the ball and chain was creative, and appealed to me. All throughout the poem, I liked the way your rhymed all the last lines of each stanza. But, you used "gloom" twice.. in the first stanza and the last. I don't know if that was intended, but I think that you could change one of those "gloom"'s. You wrote a very nice poem here, Zu. Not your best, but still a good read. I enjoyed it! I hope to see more soon! Well done. --Marie If going to church makes you a Christian, then sitting in a garage makes you a car. |

Oh, what a beautiful write here Zu! And the first thing that came to my mind was " Oh no! Whats happened w/ him and Stace?" HaHa (Southern small town gossip traits come shinging through as always. LOL) BUT from Stace's reply I see all Is fine- Whew! HeHe. The poem was very well done though. I really really enjoyed it. I think the last stanza was probably my fav. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |

Wow, I really liked this one. it was really sad and the ending completely rocked. I enjoyed the ryhme scheme a lot. The flow was ok, could have been better in some areas, I think the 2nd staza was a bit of the problem. ANyhow, a poem well done and I loved it.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Zu, this has made me really upset damnit. Not that I wasn't already but that's not the point.  It is so full of emotion and pain that you can't help but be drawn in by it. "Love betrayed deep in her eyes, And I grew tired of her sighs, Underneath the darker skies, As summer lost it’s fresh bloom," I love those lines. All in all, a well written piece. Be proud. ~AF~ "Reality is only a feeble rendering of the energy brought forth by the imagination" |
