Citadel of Doom

Name doesn't have anything to do with the poem, fyi. :P It just sounded cool.

He exemplified bravery,

she exemplified pulchritude.

She was a neophyte in a world of chaos and despair with bereft of happiness.

He had a tendency to be absurd and baneful, with the anguish tears he cried.

She feels like an fiend in a horror movie with him,

he feels like a fiend in a horror movie without her.

Denigrate judgments invade her mind,

while abstruse thoughts invade his.

Her feelings of emotional inadequacy, 

make his mercurial temperament angry.

She can't live with him,

and he sure as hell can't live without her.

This is like a poem made for The Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship. It describes it perfectly. I was taken to an Arkham Asylum type scene when reading this, and I absolutely loved that your poetry was able to take me there. Your word choice was truly great 'neophyte', 'fiend', 'bereft'. Really the only criticism I have is that it reads too much like full sentences rather than lines in a poem. But no, really, this was so tantalizing and dark and brilliant.

What a bloody mess they're in. All tangled and confused like that. The piece itself makes you really think hard about what's happening.

I like this poem. Opposite attract and hell can break out. I like the description and the ending was outstanding.
"She can't live with him,
and he sure as hell can't live without her."
Those words are most of our problems. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I imagine the reader falls into the depravity of false humanity, tired answers are always loosley spread like sand in the sun, however questions seem never to fall, you my dear freind have opened a room full of thought, well done, good read.
