Citadel of Doom

Name doesn't have anything to do with the poem, fyi. :P It just sounded cool.

He exemplified bravery,

she exemplified pulchritude.

She was a neophyte in a world of chaos and despair with bereft of happiness.

He had a tendency to be absurd and baneful, with the anguish tears he cried.

She feels like an fiend in a horror movie with him,

he feels like a fiend in a horror movie without her.

Denigrate judgments invade her mind,

while abstruse thoughts invade his.

Her feelings of emotional inadequacy, 

make his mercurial temperament angry.

She can't live with him,

and he sure as hell can't live without her.

This is like a poem made for The Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship. It describes it perfectly. I was taken to an Arkham Asylum type scene when reading this, and I absolutely loved that your poetry was able to take me there. Your word choice was truly great 'neophyte', 'fiend', 'bereft'. Really the only criticism I have is that it reads too much like full sentences rather than lines in a poem. But no, really, this was so tantalizing and dark and brilliant.

Speaks of a division. Happens all the time. You can agree to disagree. A composition of curious contradictions in bed together.

[NightShade]

A stupendously magnetic tower of emotion; showing the absolute NEEDS and Desires of predator and prey. I think I've had this relationship before...

[AndyJCash]

It's genius, there's obviously much care and thought in these words!

[Darksummerswind]

I like the whole opposites theme. Don't undertand the name though.

She was a neophyte in a world of chaos and despair he had a tendency to be absurd and baneful. Can't live with him and he can't live without her...........what a dilemma..........brilliant!

It seems their need and appetite for the other is all that each has for his or her own identity and survival. They feast upon one another for intellectual and physical enrichment. Their physical bodies entwined as one strengthens their bond and the power they need to move forward in the world. A great poem I enjoyed reading!
