We stand in this delectable land,
a casing, enveloping truth.
Hi. I think the abstraction of truth coupled with the small simple words and relatively scarse language make the opening lines dull. For some reason, i want to reconcile the first stanza with second one but i cant make the connection. The top line has a positive connotation, while the second line, for me, has a negative one. Its like red on blue. They don't go well together.
]We live in a world sightless,
our faint ideas of the world.
I don't think this is a sentence. They are two incomplete thoughts.
A false belief is delivered,
a love that leaves us blandÂ
Kinda feels preachy. The short word followed by a single syllable each time, followed by two incomplete thoughts.... it gets monotonous.
a complex matrix of man,
a cloak over sincerity.
best couplet of the poem. There is a little bit if uniqueness here that is lacking in other areas of the poem
An embrace, that fixates,
an untrue fleeting grace.
We lie at the mercy of us,
As we let ourselves into the embrace.
This seems like it could be interesting, but you've castrated it into yet again another incomplete though. The poem sounds unsure of itself.
