the monster never lived under my bed instead (preferring darker places) he thrives in the cold cave of my body (rib)caged in my chest between back and breast he lurks where light never leaks (where sun never seeks) and slowly he'll sneak up my spine and sulk behind skull convincing me of my woth less whole (my worthless hole) in my head i role play (i'm dead) without cause he feasts on my flaws and we fast(ly feed) on thoughts of fat and flesh on flesh i want (to refresh) to purge my...

Would you rewrite the streets? retrace reform rewind Snaking and suspending Dipping and descending Intersecting at even our most infinite expanse Would you cast out the rain? pulsing pacing pausing Spilling out and sobbing Thawing out and throbbing Where clouds of damp matter lick the road's vast domain Would you enable time? flying falling fleeting Lapsing by and leaping Kidnapping and keeping With moments stored like jam(med) in jars Is creation even ours? &n...

"How have you been? Have you endured? I heard you were sick Have you been cured? I'm happy to see you but something's not right Where is that spark you used to ignite? Something is missing Why do you hide? Where is your courage? Where is your pride? Your hair is all tangled Your eyes lack their sheen Where is your spirit for all the unseen?" "I'd tell you the same but surely you know You also look different You too lost your glow. But see I've been thinking and ...

Our plan was impeccable impermeable even the most divine saliva could not break us down break us up We were inseparable attached like dislocated limbs. In the mornings we'd renew rehearse nothing could deter our preparations up from bed down stairs. We ran on smoke inspired through glass creations. She was experienced exquisite never admitting her mileage run down kept up she'd collect men with quick words. Her secrets were inviolable invulnerable. even her pettiest privac...

Ironically, I deem the title of this too ambiguous, and don't really see it's correlation to your poem. In the first line of S1, I don't really understand "nirvana of seeds." What does this mean? "Nirvana" generally implies a tranquil state or heaven. Maybe something like "fortune" would be more applicable, as it still leaves room for intepretation. "To all it is hard to resist" would be more fluent if you added a couple syllables. Maybe something like "after all transformance / is hard to re...
This reminds me a lot of Baz Lurhman's "sunscreen" where he says something like "worrying is about as effective as trying to solve an algebraic problem by chewing a piece of bubble gum." While it's not entirely original, it's at least entirely true. The ellipsis seem unnecessary, I'd suggest removin them and capitalizing "It."
This is the best poem I've read in a while. The theme is nicely symbolized in the use of a person's hands during their life span. I actually am usually relatively finicky when it comes to line breaks in poems (especially my own) but I actually love the way you've broken up the lines here. They were cleverly constructed to allow for multiple interpretations. Your use of "as" in various lines I think helped with the ambiguity. Also the references to different events/stories throughout biblical ...
First this needs to be broken up into verses. It would improve the fluency and be more engaging to the readers' eyes. The rhyming is spaced out nicely, which is nice, as rhyming poems generally lack depth/real creativity. This actually conveyed a lot emotion and is very relatable. I have a couple friends in the situation you've described, such a delicate thing. I really liked "as sunlight stuck to here hair." It reminds me of all the hairspray my sister layered on her 'do at her wedding. Anyw...
