Blueprint of a Schizophrenic Mind
unknown

Grotesque beauty frames a monarch within a landscape of perilous flame.
 1
A singe of death hangs in the air like a feud between candles.
 2
 
 
In the gears and teeth of this underworld, there is no recourse to privacy-
 3
Dominion lies in the thoughts of the many; in the twilight whispers of the singing voices.

I really like the imagery. I love line two. This is really well written. I'm just not sure I'm entirely getting it, which considering the title and everything, may have been what you were going for.

This is good because it is. And because it is, it is good.

not so sure about "blueprint" in the title
but this is brilliant
2 is bright and clear
1 murky - a bit schizo - but then, that's as it should be.

Enjoy your time on the top. I have a feeling someone's gonna come in here and fuck you with a 1 for this poem. And no, it won't be me. I already rated it.

Grotesque beauty frames monarch within landscape of perilous flame.
Singe of death hangs in the air;
A feud between candles.

In the gears and teeth of this underworld, no recourse to privacy.
Dominion lies in thoughts of the many; in twilight whispers
of singing voices.

Nice, nice work.  It aims for chilling reality and hits it near dead-on.  And that's from someone with a mentally ill brother.

sorry, not quite my cup of tea, but moleishly majestic
 — ningyochan

The garden stretches in torn landscapes
of the flesh of the universe,
a canvas is folded.

Random spurts of meaningless doodles converge like
sea-wave frothing pure energy.  

a vast ocean of fractured infinity
which the sun's eye cannot spear
and truth flickers above the surface
in shark fin silver lear

i dig it :)
