    Tormented minds

    The restless tormented winds strip cleanly throu each other
    fighting over fields that smell of fresh grown strawberries
    beating each other down for land they want to own
    overlooking certain beauty in some of the purest unknows

    may one non-predicted day come that they will settle and see
    that the beauty in the fields they own could never over pass thee
    they might pause a moment and breath in the crisp tangy sights
    that cause a thousand brilliant feelings shivering, shakings slight

    Where the endless river forever flows into the not seen distance
    is where some exisiting day our two souls will face again
    to be able to look into the eyes that have seen what sights i did
    and i mind that seemed to pulse to a beat my heart had provided

    The two sets of feet settle on the salt glazed rocks
    inches divided them once,slowly backed away,they become lost
    till eternal distance of oceans and grass fell in between
    yet the two minds so close together as if the space where none indeed

    no spoken words, but still a communicating sound
    lush and simple, but quiet cause silent has no sound
    the heartfelt message sent with the beats that keep them alive
    will forever be exchanged, till one who passes with out name dies

    looking for some feedback

    It started out strange. A juxtoposition of good and bad. Line two talks about strawberry fields. Strawberry fields are a good thing. Line three talks about beating each other down. Beating aint a cool thing. And yet you mixed those two things and it worked. It's kooky, like summmer soup.

    But I was really feeling the last two paragraphs the most. Those I really felt. It's like here two people are, standing right next to each other. Entirely mute, so close to touching. And then they just drift away without saying a word. It's saddening, yet enlightening and good.

    Good because there were two people there and they were connected and even when they were apart they had something non-corperal holding each other together. That's more than a lot of folks have. Dunno if you ment it or not, but you managed to keep a juxtoposition of good and bad of a different sort at the end.

    BTW, Love your new avatar. From what I can see it reminds me of something Boris Vallejo would've painted.

    Spelling was a bit off at times, i though for a piece of this kind. And a piece that in a sense seems so complete. You could've gone over it a bit. Made it easier for the reader.

    Nonetheless, imagery was the most striking thing in this. Beautiful, graphic, intense...

    The meanings i got out of this were mixed. But it's a piece that doesn't necessarily need to have a meaning that stands out.

    One was the constant yearning for power that plagues humanity. And therefore, plagues the earth. For instance, the one between two nations. Like India and Pakistan fighting over Kashmir. It goes way beyond the whole 'justice' thing. They ignore the beauty of Kashmir, and the rights of it's people. Destroying it and it's people.

    There's also the one of maybe two brothers or friends. Rivals below the frail cover of their friendship. Ignoring the bigger picture and what they achieve. Of their ever growing rivalry.

    There's one more wich stands out. The fiery, consistently inconsistent relationship between two lovers. But i wont go into that.

    Overall, i felt the meaning was a bit here and there. Maybe cos you hid it so well under the dence imagery and what not.

    At first glance one might say you over crowded certain lines. Elaborating a bit too much at times,. But then once you dig into it, you can realise it's actually fitted in nicely.

    This was a piece ridden with vivid and varying imagery. That was the focal point of the piece. The core of it. And you executed it well (put it together well).

    ...resp...

    By the way. Typical girl. Your masquera is running...
    I'm too secure to have a signature.

    Oh.
