Clever wording Tristan the first line starts off well and very poetic. The second has a great feel in that consumption or TB is based upon the consuming of the lungs and here the originally intended meaning makes it the simple using up of love and life. The TB metaphor is emphasized in the next line with blood. The idea of life and love in the second stanza where we do not know what ends life or love. Such a lovely weaving of words. Very nice a fave

Love the metaphor of tuberculosis which parallels and even surpasses that of classic syphilis catalyst in literature 🙏🏻🕊️

Sleep is that cheeky thing that will grasp your wrist tight during the day when you need to be awake, and will abandon you at night! Well expressed!

Things playing on our minds; sometimes can get to point of obsessions. I can see you don\'t write \'dark\' just for the sake of it, not to promote darkness, horror, etc. Peace of mind to you.

Here anxiety reins. For years suffered from bouts of anxiety some stimulus related. As a poet have tried to capture it in words that are never adequate. You have done well to image many of the symptoms but in this poem I see not just nightmares but day ones too. A life that we wake to each time we get into and out of bed. Anxiety a type of emotional pain draws all focus to it eliminating our view of the world around us. I like how you use alliteration to accentuate this obsessive focus. It is an autonomic process and your use of jolting current, tingling, cold sweat, knots all such involuntary processes works so well. It is indeed a war between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Well worked out this poem delivers to any that have suffered such. Very nicely done Tristan

I\'ve had a couple of paralysing dreams last week.
Unusable for me to have that sort of thing, what\'s happening?

Nightmares have been my fare waking and sleeping for over a decade until I cannot bear the seeming good wishes of souls who tell me \"sweet dreams!\" since I know too well such do not exist for me. And now, after a nightmare which left me in terror, what?! but you must ink it out on the main page????! What is happening?! Superbly rendered with not only excellent imagery but also that delicious skill utilizing consonance and methinks assonance, the haunting poignancy throttles the reader until who shall escape? Thank you for sharing. What on earth is...today?

The late winter moon is one of the finest because indeed like that image when in snowy weather moonlight is the most mysterious lantern there is!
Just last night it was the pink moon, spring moon. I didnt see the moon but full moons are vibrant energies. A lovely write!

Words cannot be weighed in kilograms, pounds, or stones, but they can be heavy. It seems it comes down to how much weight you choose to carry... This is a beautiful piece.

We can\'t - or can\'t always - and we shouldn\'t really - write our poems to \'fit in\' with what we may feel will be acceptable to others. We certainly won\'t please all the people all of the time, as the saying goes.
At times, I feel I may write as if to suit others, but then sense I am being \'un-original\' and think \'That\'s not what I really wanted to write\' - certain line(s) or stanza(s).
An aside maybe - I rarely get the meanings of cryptic-themed poems! If I get too cryptic, I dunno what I\'m on about (no change there then? lol).

\"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.\"(Prov 18:21) Are there truly any inconsequential words? Is that not the reason our consciences torture us internally over this speech or that? Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a keenly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A very interesting and quite powerful write, first i think people can be to worried about what they write and how those words come across and then over analyze the words in response, and after all are probably no wiser. Secondly in person words are very powerful if you can see and hear them being said, then you can judge how they were meant to be recieved for good or bad, enjoyed the read

I obsess over words that I read and write wondering how others will take them or how I should have taken them usually to no avail. A wonderful read for poets
