Devilishly Dreadful: The Flames of Betrayal
Friendship said:
Your poem revolves around betrayal, love, and the quest for freedom. It explores the complexities of a relationship steeped in racial and social dynamics, illustrating the pain of deceit and the struggle for autonomy. The subject matter focuses on a woman, Ada, who is betrayed by her husband and confronts the harsh realities of her identity as a Black woman in a society that seeks to commodify her.

There\'s cryptic and there\'s cryptic and there\'s Tristan Robert Lange🙃😊Almost inclined to go with Popeye, but don\'t know what that\'s about either. I try not to go \'where angels fear to tread\', but I\'ve still got some vision and still am anxious not to miss your gallery and poetic structures.....

Deeply philosophical this write starts right off with a puzzle and ends with a powerful statement that love won\'t wait. Emotions come and go unlike logic that only slowly erodes with additions to the puzzle with time.

“The Shape of Why”~ the title itself is mysterious, does it not make you think of letter “y” in itself ?

Initially, this format drove me crazy, but I pushed myself to adapt to it. Although I\'m uncertain about the outcome, your poem skillfully explores themes of isolation, existential questioning, and the complexity of human emotions, particularly in the face of suffering and the pursuit of purity. The speaker grapples with feelings of despair and the search for understanding in a world that seems indifferent to their plight.

I felt it was describing how I feel during those extreme emotional short bursts. Some words stretch themselves, finally dissolving into- why were they at all important. I know I got it wrong. But I thought of sharing my unfiltered feeling.
A fave.

If you were confessing impure thoughts to the priest, you would be doing hail Marys till the day\'s end.
Just remember, you can look, but you cannot touch, well, not to you put a ring on a finger.
Glad, lookings free.

A little like my dreams - after they\'ve been extended, distorted, they are often enjoyable in their own right, so I just accept without understanding.
And so it is here. Though I doffs me cap at the amount of energy it must take to construct one of your word, or rather letter sculptures, Tristan.

This is only my take, someone is laughing and mocking at the misery (possibly that they have caused), only to happy to highlight it to everyone. Then seen as damaged goods they walk away, apart from that I have no idea!!. A enjoyable mind bender this one

A most interesting shape and manner of format. As direction changes and one letter runs into another. As the use special characters replace a normal letter they take on new meaning. To an obtuse soul like me a bit obscure. Mind provoking none the less. If I were to put myself in the place of the writer with no one touching impurity I would be left a lonely soul with no human touch.

This piece is chilling and unforgettable and its refrain of “you cared” works like a haunting echo, turning tenderness into something macabre. The imagery of coldness, rigor, and ghostly return makes the poem feel like a gothic ballad of love and possession. It’s unsettling, but in the best way possible, the kind of poem that lingers long after reading.

That is one hell of a way to describe a relationship that died a slow painful death. The coldness and despair that descended on the emotions until everything fell apart. even after experiencing that kind of emotional torment some will still carry the torch of love to their grave and beyond. Right i have finished waffling, great write, enjoyed the read

Tristan -when I first looked, I misread ‘ghazal form’ as ‘ghastly form’ 😅(You said it first!)
Do you need me to acknowledge the amount of sweat, energy and time you put into that, me old mate?

Tristan this could be called a murder love ballad it has a gothic flavor but at the same time could be taken as totally metaphoric and speaking of the death of the relationship not the person per say . The rigor mortis being nothing more that the stiffness of touch in a cold relationship. the pale and blackening face nothing more that change of emotions on the face of one that is dreading the view of the other or black anger at their continued presence. A relationship where one once cared but no more. Either way it is a descriptive poem of death either of the person or relationship or both. Ghostly indeed. Very nicely written

Well written, your poem explores the themes of lost love, betrayal, and the haunting nature of memory. It depicts a relationship that has soured, leaving the speaker in a state of despair and emotional coldness, even after death.

A most interesting dialog where absolute truth only exists in the mind and trust seen by one may be deception seen by another. In fine there is no truth only belief and trust is relative to perception and faith. A lovely wirte Tristan, thought provoking
