(#) The Blue Moon

Rating: 5.0


a night mantled in silence,
as the veiled-moon
clings to solitude.
the past marred her luster.
contemplating...
his mental faculties
drown out her inner voice.

she cleaves a path
through the thicket,
her sense of propriety
downtrodden by desire

the firmness of her grip
is now tapering off
growing hours of madness
half-ruled with
passion...

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Carl Harris 24 February 2009

This is quite an exceptional and very intense poem, Kandice, one which is so beautifully and expressively written it literally takes a reader's breath away. It is terse in wording, but vast in the emotions it unfolds before the reader. It is just the kind of poem that is a treat to read over and over until it becomes imprinted on one's mind. I liked your ending very much, but was wondering if that next to the last ine would sound better if it were phrased, 'solely ruled by' instead of 'half-ruled with' although both mean almost the same thing. Thank you for this remarkable poem. Carl.

The feminine in this poem speaks out loudly. Salazar, you have a knack of creating imagery.10
