IGNITED AWARENESS

Incapacitated structures
For the survival of an aloof mind,
Encompassing flesh
embodies this lightening filled soul.
As the haste of random
frantic whisperings,
Cause foreign feelings of fear,
To creep upon the surface of this psyche.

Now hauntingly detached
In the face of vicious validation,
A blazing burden that glares
In radiant, intense distress
Down onto sullen extremities,
Tugging through emotional viscosity.

These affected elements of affection
Plagued by jabbing and gnawing
of apprehension,
And this muffled shrieking
splinters sanity's logic,
Imposing lethal noise
On desire's calm silence.

I always try to find the peak of promise in another's writing &

I always try to find the peak of promise in another's writing & certainly there is loads of promise here, but if you are ok with honesty (remembering it IS only my opinion & means nothing negative) it kept undoing itself every line or 2, or sometimes in the same line. There is so much fantastic passion here & some brilliant expression, but I am hoping with just a tiny bit of tweeking you might have a truly excellent piece (though clearly I am the only voice here wanting you to to step up further... it's only because I think you can). At this point it feels like an uncontrolled rage an outpouring, flailing wildly, which has it's place, but if there was a little more pause for thought I believe this work would shine so much brighter, & fall more comfortably on the ears of the reader/listener. Despite the feedback I still say a strong congratulations, glad this came to Spotlight, I have been so busy I would probably have missed it, well done!~ Anni ~~~ "The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself" Henry Miller

Hello

Congratulations on this poem earning the spotlight, it is highly deserving! I love that it contained two of my favorite words; "vicious" and "viscosity." Two very different words. Always, Cat
