"Hyalescent"

Hyalescent
Tangerinepie

No visible extrication from this oubliette,
Where I wither away from whence I was robust.
Now vilified and classified as unfeeling marionette,
I am as transparent as glass...soon invisible.
I do not seek pity from your denigrating vignette,
My misfortune... to love you as never one before.
Briefly--the macrocosm flared,now an expiring briquette.
You denied my sincerity out of your own guilt.
Let death be the mediator in this macabre historiette.

Love the rhyme ends, well done for that! Without giving much detail you show us the dark and damaging side of a relationship. The victim/subject slowly withdrawing is handled with aplomb, tragic, meadow

I liked it too, the consequence and the glaring before that. Is building up well too.

Cheers Rob

I totally commented on this yesterday... But when I hit send you'd removed it! *sobs*

I originally said something like this: I absolutely love how you have utilised language in this piece. Such a strong and vobrant vocabulary goes to work on the redaer's imagination and it is quite the excercise considering some of the words aren't necessarily classed as 'everyday'.

Now, last time I read this I oculdn't se the picture and I hoped that it would enhance on the reading experience and it truly does. A quiet kind of Darkness piece, if that makes sense? That sings loudly in my ears (Gee.. I'm seriously waffling..)

I really dig this. Superb work!

Lily^^

Tangie Your command of language is outstanding and the subject of this piece while dark is exquistely lighted by your use of the bonne mots you have chosen to use.

I checked this one out after hearing a glowing reference to it, and it didn't disappoint! The diction, as with all of your poetry, is excellent. However, for me what took this to the next level is the utterly brilliant rhyming choices! With the confined imagery to the fore, this is a distinctive darkness poem with a lot of flair, well penned :)

I don't know how I hadn't seen this piece sooner, but I'm so glad I happened to catch it. I loved the language, the word choice, and the image made the feel of the piece all that much more bleak. Absolutely brilliant writing tangie. Also love saying the word "oubliette" out loud, so I ended up reading this out loud and it sounds amazing. Kudo's girl!

I can see why this is one is in darkness but filled with immense sadness you do show us how deep a woman heart is when she expresses the hurt, anger, and darkness, from her soul places where most dont tread just keep looking toward more brighter skies and now I know why darkness is a dessert for you

Best wishes

Mr Goth

Striking use of language, and striking rhyme choice!!
This is such an eloquent piece of writing; a beautiful blend of darkness and melancholy in a harmonic way, and again, I was taken by the ending rhyme!

Stunning dark work, Tangie! Always a pleasure to read you.
