Knowing

KNOWING


She surveyed the subtle differences
between
the reality of the situation and the fiction she had created
Feeding on hatred
and
resonating pain
coupled with discord
She had anticipated the struggle from within
either way
she had even calculated this sort of reaction
but
by someone with far less intelligence
than
had been portrayed up until this point
So, she sits
in hopelessness
bitter desperation
always in search
of
a solution
throw her hands up in defeat
or
dream of an opponent worthy enough
to stand up to her indecent,
emotionless reveries

I absolutely adore this poem. As always, your word use is stunning and accurate. It is frightening how closely I can relate to this work. You have communicated in a way that the affluent reader can truly appreciate, but may be lost to some readers. This is what good poetry does. This is art, a very honest expression of disappointment, despair, and the beginning of hopelessness. A very successful write. Kudos!

Let me paint the picture I see from this.

I see a slightly nerved, little angry, under appreciated for her talents in the field of Domination. Yes, black leather in all the fine style of a Catherine of Russia, riding crop in hand, worthless peasant of a subject not actually worth the muscle reflex of a smart whip across his back side (i personally see the subject as Bill Clinton but that is just me).

Wanting the need to match wit's, chess move to chess move and someone worth breaking. So sitting on the bed looking at the worthless bum, there is a sigh of discontent.

Deep as always. Nice write

...or maybe "emotion slayed"???

I enjoyed this piece. There is something clean about the way it is written...no syrupy flourishes, to the point...no wading through honeyed muck. Only, I'm not sure about "emotionless reveries." It seems as though she does feel emotion in her desperation, hopelessness, and frustration. If that's the case then maybe use "emotion bound" or emotion filled," or something of the like.

Nice job.

You have beautiful word use and paint amazing works of art on the canvas of my mind. Very well done.

I agree your use of language is exceptional and you are well rounded in your ideas so you produce fine pieces like the above

Where the heck is the "favourite" button... This is my favourite poem written by you. It's one that I, and many other people, can relate to. It has the truth and third person view of desperate knowing. Bloody good work mate!
