Maybe I can broker a deal with the angels..
Elegiac offering versed
rien n'est éternel
I promise to behave~
If the heavens ever
Decide to take me.
In the purple stillness,
I douse my fevered mind with bloodroot
And come back to myself
To breathe the haze of emerald hues.
I cry with my eyes
But without tears
That’s how broken heartstrings feel
Like the song inside the soul of a bird in winter ..
When a butterfly dreams of flowers
In an autumn wind
Filled with violins
Kind of blue—
The sound of jazz
vie est brève
For that brief moment
When the light went out
Of your eyes—
Even the day felt lonely.

I like your style a lot. The inclusion of multiple languages, the control of form and the kind of diction. I actually did not give proper attention to the content of the poem until my second read because I was surprised by how much I appreciated your writing style. I was very caught off guard by it, it’s very unique yet feels similar to the poems of older eras. On a second reading I noticed that the content was also something to behold, very tragic. In some ways reminds me of how I feel when I read Poe’s poems lamenting the loss of his wife.

Life is only about loss. I like to give my readers sense of freedom that perception intuitively spills. I hate setting guidelines or boundaries. The human mind is a gold mine. Let it free. Imagination is a wonderful way of letting the aesthetic take over.

This may be my favorite aspect of the poem – I’ve yet to attempt that myself… but you made it work so well, Yassy. I’m deeply impressed. Also:
I agree with this sentiment too, but I couldn’t find the language to express it until I read Dionysius’ comment… but he’s spot on. You have an old soul, I think, Yassy.
Also, in terms of the content, I’m still grieving over my father, whom I lost some two-and-a-half years ago… so you really hit a nerve in me. Thank you for this experience.
