great poem Uriah...the beauty of a drunken, depressed, angry, abused, ...poet...it is all good.........Vallerie
Yikes! This poem is permeated with abstractions. Try to make your images more concrete by invoking direct, absolute feelings from the speaker. For example, 'The mysticism of a passionate heart'. The reader is uncertain what this means, because it lacks immediate emotion. Here are more examples: ' magical vision of poetry, ' 'growing everyday into her goddess, ' 'conviction of human dignity, ' 'understand the voice of truth'. Solidify what these mean.

Sadness in her soul? That isnt a prerequisite for love, Uriah! The right one will come along sooner or later. God bless. Raynette
