― Charles Bukowski


Your tongue is caustic, felling
men left and
right,
like buildings in the apocalypse
of your affection,
and I cannot fathom the depths
of your blue eyes,
which speak music to the heart
yet drown me in
apathetic
seas.

No it's okay! Great criticism, thank you. Actually, a lot of my poems are started off of a single word that I find pretty or interesting, and the word for this one happened to be "caustic" :P. Sorry if I came off as a but grumpy, and thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it.

Ur welcome :) I didn't mean adjectives i just meant sort of... complicated words. they do hold some value (obviously, they're words) but i just find them a bit irrelevant maybe? Sorry i don't mean to be mean.

There are only 6 adjectives and 3 of them are the word "your". Thanks for reading though :)

I like the meaning behind this, but I feel like you've kind of put in too many adjectives just because it's a poem? I don't no if it's because i'm simple or something... :) However, I can feel the passion in this and I still really like it :D
