abuse of self

I walked with desires burning like fires.

Anger and tears worn with great pride 

A stitch of the lip 

voices now silent.

The blood red eclipse has begun.

Shatter...

Welcome to the site, incarceration does give one time to reflect... I was wondering why some of the words were bolder... if it's to emphasize importance, it's unneeded... in poetry, each word is a layer in itself. I feel this poem isn't quite finished, for me it doesn't quite connect the title to the poem, but I could be missing something, I am old and slow at times... for me you have a great first draft, but it needs something for that connection... just one man's opinion, feel free to disregard my thoughts as I am often wrong... that damn human thing always getting in the way... welcome again Richard
