Mano a mano it seems in this poem of vale tudo. Nicely taken to the mat where it is the last man standing. Very nice

ankh
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is raw and unflinching. It doesn’t soften the question… it confronts it. The tension between temple and desecration lands hard. You’re not so much whispering doubt here, as you’re demanding reckoning. Powerful and unsettling. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

What a most interesting poem that speaks to the purpose of life. Existential in nature this question ponders what is of value if all turns to ash in the end. Poetically stated it brings the image of a temple (and they too eventually crumble) and love (that has changed lately to be more temporary). It is deeper than surface appearance and may well have to do with societal changes and definitions. It is in the depth of this poem that I give a fave

How can we view the world without first knowing it?

Indeed.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this hit me hard…there’s something suffocating and electric running through it. The tension feels physical, like it’s pressing against the ribs from the inside. It’s intense without losing control…just raw and deliberate. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Here in this poem there is a bit of the surreal. It is a bit mind provoking the last line for I see little sanity in humanity to separate. Nicely penned

Flowers all the same. It\'s amazing what we deem disposable, no? Powerful write in minimal words. Wonderful restraint makes this poem all the more powerful. Fantastic write, dearest hayleigh! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

All a matter of perspective where, when, by whom all things can be and are all things at different times to different people. Very nice and a fave

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is a tight, searching piece. Body as machinery, mind as saboteur, and free will caught in between…it’s a brutal triangle rendered cleanly. The final question doesn’t seek answers, it demands recognition. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

This one is mind provoking and although at first it appears clear upon reflection it prompts deeper thoughts as one dwells upon the relationships. I love poems of this type where they tend to linger in the mind. Nicely done

A Collage
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is brave and unsanitized. The wall becomes a witness to grief, desire, and survival all at once. Nothing is resolved here, and that’s exactly why it works. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Memories, fantasies are what dreams are made of. Nice that one still dream while awake.

A Cave
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is stark and effective. The shadow devours everything vile, yet leaves a mask untouched…and that contradiction is exactly what haunts the piece. Minimal, sharp, and memorable. Very well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This senryu is most thought provoking and deserves deep thought

no heart no face no purpose
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is spare, insistent, and deeply human. Each question strips something away until what’s left is presence itself. By the final line, the silence you’re pointing at speaks louder than any answer. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

no heart no face no purpose
sorenbarrett said:

If we see others as opinion alcoholics that can not be helped until they want to be and unable to give up their views for even short periods of time. Furthermore they do not see their addiction just as an alcoholic will not admit that they are. A good write.

Closing Time
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Hayleigh, this is controlled, honest, and self-possessed. You name the hurt without dwelling there, then step forward with clarity. By the end, ownership replaces grief, and it feels real. Strong, grounded work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A poem of enacted revenge it seems. Well written

Odette\'s Lament
Friendship said:

I enjoy your story. Your story explores themes of love, heartbreak, and the internal struggle that arises from a seemingly unbalanced emotional connection between two individuals. The references to gemstones symbolize the preciousness of the relationship, while also indicating the deep wounds inflicted by love.

Odette\'s Lament
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, I’ve known that space where pain gets misread as play and silence becomes self-protection. The way you frame love as something that both dazzles and destroys feels painfully true. This stays with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Odette\'s Lament
sorenbarrett said:

This poem is full of jewels and with them it is a shame that love could not be purchased. Well done

Fearing God
Demar Desu said:

People want love and don’t even know how to love themselves, their neighbors… I feel like a lot of these guys have entitlement issues. Great poem and way to release frustration

Awesome haiku, but sad poem . I myself am not a fan of winter but I am a fan of rest… feels like it

Sylvia Plath
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Donnie Darko is a classic! Love that film! As for being sick...oh no! Sorry to hear that! As for the poem...perfection! Love Sylvia and love this poem...love the ending too...as it can be interpreted in different ways. Very well done and a fave! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Sylvia Plath
sorenbarrett said:

Now this poem has a most interesting ending. It may be taken in a dark manner or a most erotic manner. I believe the first is the one intended.

What a delicate poem. Your way with words and pacing makes it easy to picture what you\'ve written. A good write.

Powerful! Very intimate, haunting. Wonderful poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

For Peter
sorenbarrett said:

What touched me the most in this poem is the casual and yet knowing acceptance that today is not the day.
\"Someday,\" you tell me.
\"We\'ll both be happy,
but not today.\"
Very nicely done
