Thanks for sharing! I can definitely hear Eliot in these lines.

From a Guilty Heart to a Broken Soul
Inspired by Orson Scott Card, T.S.Elliot, and a friend of mine who called himself my poet.
---
I'm sorry
Sorry sorry please
Seeds of death within me dwell
This silence, like a winter freeze
The sorrow of a broken soul ----does a broken soul apologize? why?
Your goddess
Was created not
They find their feed in happiness ---who's they? I like the alliteration of "find their feed!"
To dwell above the one she thought
A flame that could not go amiss ---I'm confused by the imagery here. Who's dwelling? Dwelling above a flame? Do flames "go amiss?" How so?
That word
With power to change a heart
Their joy in my repeated pain ---How is the heart changed if in "repeated pain?"
Innocent bond that ne'er would part ---It's my opinion to avoid archaic forms, case in point: "ne'er." Write the modern form?
Το shinning screen, a hidden stain ---Totally Prufrock here!
My mind
With guns and knives it asks
They grow in all I dare to touch ---What grows? "Guns and knives?"
An empty soul, not made to last
A fallen world, not made for us---Great closing lines!
