Solitude

Solitude

A Poem by Sumit Datta

Me and loneliness
Behold each other's face
In the mirror of silence.

Reflections ripple 
Over stillness of oblivion,
Nostalgias are born. 

Pearls of remembrance
Ooze out of traveled trails
Like mystic fragrance.

Sublimes touch the
Sedated passions of heart
In sweet seclusion.

I was particularly happy to see that, even though this poem did not rhyme, it still worked quite well. And for this one too, my favorite stanzas were the first and last, the last being my top favorite. I liked the slight alliteration with "sublimes... sedated... sweet seclusion," and I like how you started with loneliness as the topic and ended with it as well. Plus, there is the oblivion, nostalgia, and remembrance antitheses in the middle that I liked. Mirrors are one of my favorite poetry subjects, since they can represent so much, and I liked how you worked it with loneliness into this one.
As for suggestions, I have a few.
First, change the first line to "Loneliness and I."
Second, change the comma in the second stanza to a semicolon.
Third, I would have preferred a more poetic word than "ooze," since "ooze" sounds a little gross and simple. Something like "drip" would have probably been better.
That's it from me for this one.

Neurotically yours,
