Without Fear

Without Fear

Inseparable
the words will be buried
in tongue like nails.

Like you want to
meet the Demigoddess, before
you go in bloom.

Ancient nemesis
takes the onus on, for
the fall of grace.

This poem is so captivating! I love the way you use powerful imagery, like "words will be buried / in tongue like nails." It really makes me feel the weight of unspoken feelings. The idea of wanting to meet a "Demigoddess" before blooming is so dreamy and full of longing. And the twist with the "ancient nemesis" adds a cool layer of depth. You’ve created such a rich emotional landscape here great job

a very thought provoking poem. after reading it through a few times, i tried to figure out the meaning, but i found it impenentrable. then i thought maybe that is the point. the poem beckons us to face the unknown "without fear." but i would really like to know what you thought about this piece.
