A Twisting Mental Knife Comments

Wonderful words expressed. So right you are, .... But the answer is the love of self

The analogy is deeply appropriate, the expression of these dark feelings masterfully depicted and the end lines convey an absolute little-recognised truth. t x

This is a poem that speaks the truth of a time - of course, reading your other works, I see you've been to the mountain top - the experience is well worth the plunge off the cliff. In the darkness, one craves solitude. And, after all, you've extracted silver from the moonlight in this work. Thanks for the experience. A lovely poem. The knife is your friend.

Mental loneliness is the worst type. This a beautiful piece. Susie.

I really like this one. The imagery is clear to me.

Whoever has not felt true pain can only wonder at true happiness.You have a wonderful way of interpreting this.Love Duncan

Another very insightful piece Uriah. You see the soul and the truth and give them both form.

loved the stanza 'love of self.' great poetry Liz

I don't know who this is for, but I hope they read it soon. It is filled with longing and real sentiment and caring. All things that have made you such a wonderful poet.

ye gods, Uriah, this reminded me of me, coming to terms with dyslexia.

This is sensitive and wise. II think it is Uriah at his best. Nice images, good finish. Raynette
