The Sun is Setting
The warmth of a dying sun causes the moon to descend into mourning
it's light slowly fading, asunder the weight of the cold is tearing off of this fabric of ambiance that shelters our seemingly vivid reality.
The tears shed reflect its aura, creating somber shimmers of beautiful hope.
Lost is an understatement as I am drugged into ignorant bliss. Let the light eat the dark and generate sweet apathetic passion, with intentions melancholic at worst.
A lullaby for the beast, set to induce eternal rest, for in death we are truly free. My Messiah guides me with heart in hand into the passage to the heavenly promised land.
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
I can’t remember when I wrote this but I remember being inspired after looking at the album cover from a band

Dear YoungPoetsdream
A warm welcome to Neopoet
I like your words very much and have taken a few minutes to show what it could look like with a bit of tydying the lines
The warmth of a dying sun
Causes the moon to descend into mourning
it's light slowly fading, asunder
The weight of the cold is tearing off
This fabric of ambiance----- i took (of) away---
That shelters our seemingly vivid reality
The tears shed reflect its aura
Creating somber shimmers of beautiful hope
Lost is an understatement
As I am drugged into ignorant bliss
Let the light eat the dark
And generate sweet apathetic passion
with intentions melancholic at worst
A lullaby for the beast,
Set to induce eternal rest
For in death we are truly free
My Messiah guides me with heart in hand
Into the passage to the heavenly promised land.
can you see that the reader can actually digest the words better when there is space to do so?
this is just an example, i believe that if one cares about the words they should care how they are presented.
Take care young poet and never forget to take some tips and ideas (thats what neopoet is all about) we are all here to learn.
Thank you...Teddy
