Usually getting your meaning across to the reader is very important to a poet. By submitting your poem, the implied intent is that you invite all feedback with the understanding that you are open to editing and improving your poem based on the critiques you receive. I was trying to address your grammar more than your meaning. The meaning of your poem is very clear, and poem-worthy, but the language you used was awkward (to me) in places.
It's an old piece (I rarely write poems and when I do, they're basically my personal experiences) with abstract nature. The lines have meanings but I don't expect anyone to understand them (it would be impossible to do so without having background knowledge of the writer), instead I just wish for readers to interpret the piece using their own emotion.
your poem is a sort of lampoon, possibly of "Singing in the Rain"
No.
It was inspired by FFVII Crisis Core.
Are you burning to death in the flaming rain?
Yep, though burning not flaming.
How do you get your blood to stick to flaming raindrops?
By using runic alphabets - believed to have mystical properties.
The rain burns, not flaming - think of acid as analogy.
Quote:"Bane" is a noun. Is "the night" your bane?Quote:What else might be mourning if it wasn't "only" the moonlight? btw how does moonlight mourn, exactly?"The night" is the other side of reality that are hidden, it has no witnesses (moonlight mourn is a reflection of loneliness of those who suffers - i.e. no one knows about their suffering but themselves) and it's filled with death, ruins and destruction (bane).
