The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Okay, well, I thought I should start posting my work here a bit more, soooo here's my latest piece still in the works:

 

 

You surround me

like a film across water

tha ripples beneath my fingertips

yet does not break.

An osmotic layer

through which I feel

warm breath against my neck,

spectre hands apon my shoulders:

a constant presence and reminder

of what I really mean.

 

You within me within you,

miriad images reflected endlessly

into which we both look earnestly

hoping to see through that last door.

 

You plead

but I cannot reach out,

can only streatch the film.

You beat against it with your soul

and I wish to break forth my spirit

but I implode onto myself

curl up in thick darkness

and fade back into you again.

 

You search

yet I know not what to find,

what to offer in exchange for freedom.

For I protect you from yourself,

from things you never dreamed to imagine

or that there is nothing beyond

the last mirror anyway.

 

I am just a projection of your imagination after all.

 

- November 20

 

I'm really liking this piece, and I've tried to put a concerted effort into imagery and word use and such. If you see anything, and I mean ANYTHING that sounds awkward or could be made more clear or whatever, please tell me.

And give me interpretations. It's neat to see what other people get out of your work.

Thanks

mmmmm definitely an interesting piece. i'm far too tired right now to do much analysis, but will be coming back to this.

 

A few minor edits for spelling would be helpful.

 

tha ripples beneath my fingertips

that?

 

spectre hands apon my shoulders:

upon?

 

miriad images reflected endlessly

myriad?

 

can only streatch the film.

stretch?

 

from a read-through, even sleepy as i am, i really like this. i will come back when i'm more awake and able to trace the imagery for meaning.

I don;t see this very often, but I like the decesion you made to only capitalize the first letter of the first word of each real sentance. It helps ther reader follow along with the lines and connects them as a whole as well as apart.

 

You have quite vivid exploration in your writing concerning spirit....I like that (I like to explore that aspect of everything through poetry). Really really nice, Ceylara, I look forward to reading much more.
