pause. BREATH by ~Admantina:iconAdmantina:



They're electric blue lights
dancing across the skies
Staining black velvet, with
incandescent lapis

Hand me your paintbrush
and let me trace each star
with fluorescent pink
and charcoal black

The sky's the limit -
there's nothing to stop us.
Pause. BREATH.
      thump-thump.
                    thump-thump.
You hear that?

It's your heart.
          my heart.

The world's heart.

This is really, really random. Umm literary diarrhea? Hm, I dunno. I really like the beginning. (and yes I know it's lapis lazuli, but that doesn't fit.. it just doesn't)

I don't know where the ending came from, and where it's going. But meh..

Enjoy~

(category's weird again, but I dislike the word general)

Sometimes the best pieces come from the worst word-spew-mess imaginable. I feel for this. It's got somewhere it longs to be, it just hasn't quite found it yet. But it will. With your help, it could be more beautiful than it already is. Great work.

the world outside no longer shows.
And here, within this dream, I'm caught...

I like this piece. It's quite "bouncy" and unpredictable, which are traits that I just so happen to enjoy.

The "to and fro" movement that your writing imitates, creates an enjoyable and fun experience for the reader.

Furthermore, your use of imagery further enhances the reader's experience with this piece. It happens to act as a paintbrush, creating a painting in which the reader can visualize in his/her mind and thoughts. Excellent.

Overall, you did a good job in this particular piece, while maintaining a fun and thrilling environment for the reader.

Nice!
:iconadmantina:
Ah, thank you!

I didn't think of that at the time, but now that you mention it, the way it hops back and forth between things does seem bouncy. :aww:

Do you have any ideas on how I can improve the ending?

well since ur previous stanzas is already covering the sky, it makes it a massive concept, so it fits the "world"

i dont know if u understood what i said.

You're very welcome.

Well, for the ending, it would be pretty cool if you included a really energetic, "big" ending that leaves a hyper, rejuvenated impression on the reader. Perhaps, you could edit your prose, in which you slowly build-up to this conclusion (or the ending) with energy, and at the end let all that energy fly loose.
:iconadmantina:
Oh, that sounds really interesting. I know what you mean, but I'll have to think for a while before I can figure out how to carry that out. XD

Thank you! :hug:
