I write...just about anything, but here is one of my poems. I get most of my hard core critiquing done in the OP/L but I welcome any comments and/or opnions

(D)rea(m)lity

Where once
your sweat and virility
invaded my bedroom innocence
your iridescent death plasma
now conquers
my night time pillowed escapades.

Now it’s my sweat
and naivety.

I thought you meant
for now
when you said
forever.
I hoped that r.i.p.
was meant for me
when I etched
your marble slab.

Well I am not much of a critique type person. I just generally say what I like and don't like. Though I tend to see the positive for the most part in a person's work.

This does have a nice dreamy quality to it while not straying into dream. I think "iridescent death plasma" is quite striking. I am not sure exactly what the last stanza means though.

Well, it does seem like it's about endings. Things that were meant to last and don't.

The first stanza reminds me of a relationship that is no longer and now all there is is the TV set (your iridescent death plasma). I guess because I have a plasma tv set.

Now it’s my sweat
and naivety.

The above sounds like you are alone.

I thought you meant
for now
when you said
forever.
I hoped that r.i.p.
was meant for me
when I etched
your marble slab.

The above sounds like something that ended...r.i.p.

So that is how I came to my conclusion.

somewhat intuitive...basically this poem is about the ending of mine and rayn's relationship and how I can't get over her, even when I should be able to, esp with the way our relationship ended. The death plasma is actually supposed to be her ghost haunting my mind/my dreams, and the r.i.p. is basically the death of our relationship and I etched the slab i.e. headstone because I broke things off. So it was something that was suppose to end, but for me hasn't yet.

*points to above* Yes, that is what I thought and said, but then you said it was the opposite.

Oh, no...this was not meant to last, it was supposed to end, but didn't, she still "haunts" me...so not totally opposite, but yeah.
