Awesome I like it. AT first I didnt know what to make of it, and than it captivated me and brought thoughts of my past forth and made me smile a crooked one inside. This Dark room holds magic and terror that can save the world or destroy... HooRA Frontier you created a script of dark lust and song that whispers with skill and silence into men and womans heart stirring there subconcious will into the direction of your choice.... The Dark Room contains your arts..>THATS MY MANIFESTATION>>>> I LIKED IT ALOT>>>>;) keep writing...

I think many of us have a tendency to develop only what we want to see. This is great.

[Frontier]

Hahaa!! Very true Tim! Thanks

You're Welcome.

Amazing use of words. The word use was enough to create vision and thoughts. I like the term "Soul darkroom". Interesting concept. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I wanted to specifically come by and pause... wanted to hear -

This one really found a place within me... it speaks with a voice - a power full voice. This one is the thing of dreams...

[Frontier]

Thank you Chris!!

simply intense, very much gray and mind boggling.

[Frontier]

Thanks Mayank

I think the strongest element of this poem is the first line. I was absolutely astonished and blown away by that Idea. Overall, its an outstanding metaphor, which conveys so many things about the speaker. She is nurturing, and the kind of person you can come to for your undeveloped possibilities. In essence, she makes a sacred space. In that space, all of his most treasured negatives of the world are brought into focus.

I'd love to see your run with this metaphor in a longer piece, and tie in allusions to the photography process. I also think you can also tie in a few brief examples of what is developed in that dark room, and what that creates.

I like what you have here, and I look forward to seeing if this idea takes off in any new directions.

[Frontier]

I really like your idea....I'll see where it takes me. Thanks Clockwork :)

Oh my, you can not have one without the other. We either illuminate, or we subtract the light. It must be that way. You swallow the light because you can! There is so much depth here, or should I say, contrast? Love the way the speaker mirrors the subject's negatives with a positive reflection, and the way you play with the shade of text also, normally not a fan of that but here it works. Well done sister poetess!

[Frontier]

Yes and sometimes one needs to get thru darkness to see even brighter light. Thanks Mai. :)

[Mai Marquez]

Find the light. Push the darkness aside to get to the greater source. I love that. :)

This is really creative and the analogy of a darkroom is a wonderful idea. The light vs dark font adds to the effect. I enjoyed the content apart from the final line, which for me, didn't have the dramatic impression the rest of the poem has. In keeping with your first line that says "soul" maybe use a line that is connected to that? Something like "absorbing eternity"? (am a bit tired so any creative thoughts are sleeping). But I loved what you did with this. Penny :)
