the coldest hell (Free verse) by skaskowski
the coldest hell is whispering your name into and empty ear unlistening, This old familiar fear becomes reality... the coldest hell is satin in a fireplace, a baby born in outer space, forgetting a beloved face... wasted. the coldest hell, the oldest hell is waking up to nothing but pain that quickly muffles the chirping birds and rising sun, a dying day that won't begin... The Coldest Hell is when you start to hate me piece by piece, and withering, i do not have the strength to stand from knees. .. The coldest hell for me would be if you told me goodbye, but your Heaven might be the same...

Down the ladder: She and He

really doesn't work for me. a combo of "cliche" and "huh?", with a bit too much "cutesy".

empty ear unlistening = good. face/place/outer space bit = weak.

Social Parody and Voluntary are much better than this.

Social Parody and Voluntary are much better than this. This poem is self-indulgent.

This really gets my heart. I honestly have chills.

This made me feel a very particular emotion, but I wasn't very happy with the end wording. Very blatant after a very subtle rise and fall.

I sure wish I know what the hell this one meant. Why The Coldest Hell and then the coldest hell later? And more brilliant use of the ellipsoidal!
