Unwept Goodbye
sorenbarrett said:
Normally such topics I ignore but there are exceptions to every rule and this poem with hypnotic flow and meter drew me in. it is enchanting and carries the reader on in a dreamlike state. The rhyme adds like being rocked on the waves. I find the topic sad but the poem so soothing. A fave

Indigo and Stone
sorenbarrett said:
To appreciate a poem to its full extent one must have been there in some way. It is the identification with that glimmering piece of humanity that makes a poem great to someone. Shared love, joy, pain from a poet makes this bond and here I have felt it and give it a fave

The Weight of Normal
sorenbarrett said:
Sad and tragic the scars of abuse that remind us of the past. A dark write where coming into the light still leaves the dark door open behind us.

Well written and compelling this poem speaks to me of hidden things that one must carry alone and that eat at the soul. Although surrounded by loved ones, one is still alone. Very nice

A Whisper Against the Cold
Soman Ragavan said:
“faces that reflect indifference…” : if it is not indifference, they are actively betraying you.
“carve a canyon in my soul…” very deep, poetical words, transmitting powerful feelings.
“architects of pain…” : it’s pain actively made and dished out.
“Repeating the mantra of my worthlessness, again and again and again…” : non-stop breaking you down, ramming down your throat that you are “worthless.”
Sister, sister-in-law and stepfather, all conspiring to destroy you little by little.
“puppeteers” : other join in the war against you.
“fractured compass…” : something that can never take you to a safe road.
“The final thread that tethers me teeters …” : your last hope, that which was supposed to be the shoulder on which you could take refuge, turns against you.
“feign a stoic indifference…” : indifference come someone near is crushing.
“her vacant gaze…” : the face tells a true story, clearer than words. The vacant gaze says that all relationship has been destroyed. This is why you are being “swallowed piece by piece.”
“the marrow of my bones…” : the utmost depth of you.
“I crave the void…” : family is supposed to bring support. But here it is the opposite. Thus, you are driven to aspire for solitude.
“feeling fades…” : it is numbed feelings that will give you repose, in the circumstances.
“ fleeting joy…” : most of the time joy is something fleeting.
“butterfly\'s kiss…” : a powerfully poetic turn of phrase. A butterfly is soft and fragile. So are its movements. It can hardly break anything. Therefore, a butterfly’s kiss is something most delicate
“relentless, heartless abyss” : this summarises the life you are living.
Overall, this is a powerful poem full of deep human experiences. You have found the right words and expressions to describe what you are going through. I suggest that you submit this poem to an Artificial Intelligence platform (eg ChatGPT) for analysis. Best wishes. Soman Ragavan.

Pain and anguish so aptly expressed where the past is an anchor that pulls one down into a sea of memories. Dark and sad.
