Bewitched Basements

Let me be the first to have the audacity to translate, This piece of mystery molded in a magical meadow of mistakes, The reckless subject, there, just standing still like a landscape of order, Disfiguring a flow of ridged ribbons in shapes of unheard names, Carelessly manipulating my optical constructors to articulate promises from paper wings, Bewitched by the light warm slash of sun laid upon the raging tides within trembling silence, How far charms can go to seduce their way into a destructive satisfaction, Might it'd been too kind to dry brush around the edges of your shadows, When the basement of your intentions homed disturbing dreams, Hunting for the tremors from freezing nightmares that pray to bury my ocean and all it's devotion, Where do the ones who seek the sins of lost words hide? While half of the living cling onto the drifting light, This shrewd figure that clasps on the thousand synonyms of shallow tears, Whisking a bath of blades for my pane of glass that hold scads of scars, The pace of time, travels differently when I try to captivate you through my sketches, I am told by the tones of my pencil, that your armor shields a menacing maniac, Too cowardly to battle for your own persistence, So hold on to what's left of your timid thoughts, Sadly strength has long evaded you.

Maniacs abound, and social media is no exception. In fact, they tend to thrive incognito. "Where do the ones who seek the sins of lost words hide?" In plain sight, dear poetess. In plain sight

A lot of emotions here dear poet..lots of powerful lines.. I really dislike cowards, especially those who hide their true nature and love to stab you in the back.. its those that love to judge, but dont have a look at themselves.. guess its jealousy and a lack of self esteem... what i really dislike is the bigots.. too many of them sadly.. Brilliant poetry dear..

Theres no need papi to captivate those that are blind with your sketches when they resemble maniacs in the most blackest forms , i love this, the depth and power of your words truly left me speechless here! I especially loved “ too cowardly to battle for your own persistence “ yasss papi i know few too cowardly to correct their own mistakes but sits in eerie silence and tell others what to correct! Sadly thats life of sociopaths! Very well delivered! A fave for me

Woah, this is such a powerful write, The Lioness! You've absolutely nailed in conveying these emotions so full of depths and torment.. The questioning is full of angst here and truly speaks, confronting those who can't even maintain stability in their own persistence and judgements.. "Carelessly manipulating my optical constructors to articulate promises from paper wings" Your wordplay is absolutely phenomenal here "1am told by the tones of my pencil, that your armor shields a menacing maniac"
