Deep contemplative thoughts translated into a wonderful piece of poetry. Thanks for sharing the philosophy of life: You yourself built this heartless space / to guard against a cruel world,

A very well penned poem about how life sometimes becomes so bleak and troublesome.. The title too is really apt for such wonderful lines.. A well conceived poem that captures the existential angst of the speaker in a very chilling yet calm manner... A great read..

Fantastic poem giving the eternal truth, Too late you find out that this our world can not be shut out Except by sentencing your soul To dark eternal drought. Very nicely penned verse. Thanks for sharing.10+++

A witty title with a twist that made me recall Forster's work, A Room with a View...sentencing one's soul is not everyone's art...this is dark one may be the experience of life carries the general complexion like this...the flow, the rhyme and the rhythm is making it a wonderful read aloud experience...!

What a powerful message you send - and how true unless we remain vigilant. Thank you Rory for helping to keep me awake.
