I can really feel the pain of lost love here. Very powerful images. I love the idea of this: 'I drink to the love of The fever that is my essence.' I can relate, as it brings to mind a lost love of mine, when I was young, thinking the hurt would never end, but it does. Well done, poet! -mia

I was doing well in understanding your poem right up until the last line, which really threw me. An interesting write in terms of imgery, which was vivid and has much clarity

Hi dklrd....a very dark poem...Poe would be proud of you! You have used some powerful wording that captures depression very well. I do think you can tighten up the lines by deleting some unnecessary words..() = delete
(The) clouds of....

These are just suggestions to tighten things up that you can either use of lose. Good poem....chey

Great poem about a topic I live and breathe every day. I love this part the best;
Vein after vein, closing, intertwining
With a barren soul of loneliness.
Pure intoxication purifies the heart.
Look forward to reading more soon.

Stirring, clammering for life,
The clouds of despair linger
Over the shadows of once was.
Lounging with a quart of poison,
I drink to the love of
The fever that is my essence.
Can you stand the pressure
That explodes with intensity
When the liquid of ice enters?
Vein after vein, closing, intertwining
With a barren soul of loneliness.
Pure intoxication purifies the heart.
I felt this work was very well described and very strong and scary.
This was a writing of great imagination and knowledge.
I loved this poem.
