Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:

I 8 your darkness last night
Han

for the longest time i wondered what my problem was
 1
 
 
so angry, so hostile
 2
 
 
i used to be gentile and kind
 3
 
 
now i know, just don't go
 4
 
 
is all i can plea
 5
 
 
I love you more than you will ever know
 6
and now I know how much you love me
 7
 
 
if it was too hard for me to swallow
 8
then i wouldn't be here right now
 9
 
 
lest i could say, i love you for thinking it was so bad
 10
and how it haunts you, i pray that I took it all away
 11
 
 
just know now that I am whole again
 12
you should not fear one minute longer
 13
 
 
 
 
my light shines for you
 14
no one loves like you do
 15
 
 
no one is ever gonna replace this light
 16
that shines on your soul
 17
 
 
made perfectly to fit you
 18
i am enamored by your darkside
 19
testament to me from you
 20
as i watch your soul forever remains true
 21
 
 
your a reminder to me everyday
 22
why i do the things i do
 23
please trust in me
 24
your faithful and true
 25
 
 
your darkness into me
 26
i heal
 27
if they only knew
 28
i really did it all 4u
 29
 
 
now healed
 30
i fall in love with life again
 31
