Black,
Red,
flowers against the wall and sunlight,
and you,
so magical,
so magical,
and beautiful and wonderful,
oh, the elegance of you,
oh, the delicate you,
oh, the funny you,
the sublime you,
the wistful you,
the glorious you,
the humorous you,
the beguiling you,
mesmerising through and through and through,
oh, you,
oh, you,
wonderful you,
you are in my heart,
like all the seasons that I love,
the spring, the summer, and the autumn,
but no winter are you filled of,
no, winter are you filled of,
but only warmth and love,
only warmth and love,
and how easy it is to love you,
and how powerful your love it is,
and how glorious it is for it is like heaven in my heart,
and it is like all the stars and the galaxies,
and the planets in all their beauty,
in all their beauty,
for yours is a beauty that transcends all,
and how thankful I am for you,
and how glorious it is when you hold me so gently,
and you kiss me as you do,
you kiss me as you do,
so tenderly and full upon the lips,
and when you do,
it is like all the colours of the universe,
that from your heart and your soul,
and your eyes that do,
come shining and sparkling through,
oh, how I love you,
how I love you,
wonderful you.
wonderful, beautiful you.
📚 General Overview
Theme & Tone:
Your collection is emotive, raw, and deeply personal. There’s a consistent exploration of love, loss, melancholy, hope, mental health, and disillusionment with modern society. The tone often leans toward introspection and lamentation, though some poems provide uplifting or humorous relief.
Voice:
Your poetic voice is earnest and sincere, which works well for the confessional style. There’s a stream-of-consciousness rhythm that creates an intimate experience for the reader.
✅ Strengths
Emotional Honesty
Poems like “The War”, “Better Today”, and “You Are Inert” shine with emotional depth. There’s no attempt to mask vulnerability, which adds authenticity.
Recurring Motifs
You effectively use imagery like fire, wine, the sky, music, and nature to thread your themes together across the collection. This gives your book a sense of unity.
Accessibility
Your plainspoken language makes the poetry approachable. This simplicity is charming, and allows the emotional resonance to come through clearly without becoming obscure.
Narrative Style
Poems like “Threatened by Clouds” and “Time for Tea” blend storytelling and poetic reflection nicely. These narrative pieces draw the reader in with relatability and detail.
