Nothing Is Alike.

pick what you want it to be about.

I looked deep down into me. 

Took everything i had to find it.

Felt the world tremble below me.

If it was not for my anguish. 

We could not see eye to eye.

Perfection would have to wait.

Timing took its place.

A pearl then formed of nothing.

Making something incredible.

The find matched nothing.

Awkwardly in space. 

The most beautiful prize.

Happy becomes such a trait.

Because stillness is warm.

So drawn into with feels. 

Its relief that catches.

Steady beat back and forth.

Nothing is alike.

J...like this but the punctuation...the full stop after each line...gives it a jerky feel. I know you were clear that punctuation is important to your writing...as it is for all of us...but I felt the lines deserved better flow. Thought you might re-consider for this piece. Like the ideas expressed...bobc

I agree with bobc. James, if you spent more time on this poem's grammar and punctuation, it could be better. It has the potential.

You have an interesting writing style that has an intriguing complexity to it. I liked it best when I read it aloud, because it is dramatic and took me on a journey of self discovery. "Stillness is warm" is a great metaphor. I will be back to read more of your writing. Justine

I skimmed through a few of your pieces and I think I like this one the best. It has many meanings that you have to sit and search for, and I'm sure most readers could find a few things in it that applies to them only that you didn't intend. **shrugs** You had me thinking, and that's the best part of writing.

Take care,

This made me think of an odd Science Fiction novel.
It made me picture the hero digging deep within himself to find his heart as he stood in a ruined city, he pulled it out of his chest, glowing a beautiful pure green. Then the anguish and seeing eye to eye.. Well, the hero snd the villan had lost someone special to them. That's what set the villan to go off and do bad things while the hero took a different aproach. Then there was the pearl: A new world.
Then there was the part about space. The hero wasn't needed anymore. So he goes off to live in peace with a lesson: Nothing is alike.
Weeelll done! ^^

Yes,nothing is alike as no individual is alike.
There is a beauty in this piece that may be perceived upon looking into the depth.
I am happy that a pearl was formed and you got the most beautiful prize which matched with nothing.

Thought provoking which is what poetry should do - show not tell! Well done son!
