Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

Loved how you used sounds is so many metaphors.

It means that I express my thoughts by writing them in form of poetry which is 2d world.
Thanks for the reply

I like the repetition of this, using But as the start of the even numbered lines.  I always wonder when people write poems if those sorts of structures are planned or emergent; for me they’re emergent.  I like the concept of foreign characters flooding attention: as if the brain is seeking attention and affection in any form; that’s very relatable.  I wonder exactly what the ‘drain in second dimension’ means to you; that was the most interesting line for me.  Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback. I also tried to increase the lines gradually in their complexity so it makes sense that the last lines need some research.

thanks for the insight, i always prefer to have the authors interpretation available because often a readers interpretation is more shallow, by necessity i think- because the reader doesn't have as close a relationship with something as an author most of the time. i did get the sense that you were talking about the process of writing (very meta) somewhere along the line so even if the subtlety didnt grab my awareness consciously it definitely had an effect unconsciously, its good that you trust the reader to make that connection, asking more of them than what a more explicit style would, very modernist of you lol. 

i hadnt heard of shepard tones before but it sounds like the symbol of the ouroboros sums it up well - a snake eating itself/positive feedback loop, although it would be hard to translate that symbol into the poem and shepard tones have a bit more nuance if the reader is familiar with the reference. im trying to think of something critical to help you improve but i cant thi

Actually I made it complex on purpose. I wanted to see how many ways a line can be interpreted and till now everyone had a different one. My orignal interpretation of the lines were -

'Dust of honest affections often cluster in my mind'
Dust means the remains of my actual affections still sometimes settle in my mind.

'Wind of somber reality blow it off in time'
This means that the current circumstances do no allow these emotions to cluster and blow them before its too late.(before i fall in love again)

'Wardens of my heart often mistake fallacies for love'
It means metaphorically my heart is a kingdom and its wardens allowed the disguised fallacies to enter

'But my conciousness kills the camouflaging doves'
And now my conciousness kills the intruder which was hiding in my heart


'Drops of thoughts often drain in second dimension'
This means that I express my thoughts through writing which is 2d rather than speaking it out loud. This line also spontaneously describes my writing sty

this was somewhat difficult to interpret, (which isnt necessarily a bad thing by the way) but i got the intimation that you sometimes naturally engage in positive thoughts like 'honest affections' or experiencing love, but these are being made ambivalent in their filtering through some scrutinising part of you. im just gonna try lay out my interpretation:

in the first two lines, you contemplate 'affections' which are deemed them 'dusty' - old, worn out and are dismissed in favour of 'somber reality', a realism which negates the value of emotion. in the second two lines this rationality/consciousness dismisses love as being a deceit, your consciousness as a murderer set as antagonist in relationship to emotion. the third stanza escapes my comprehension, the drops of your thoughts draning i can see meaning that your thought drains you of your vital emotion, but im not sure what you mean by 2nd dimension, and 'streams of foreign characters flood' - my instinct is to assume that here you 

"Dust of honest affections often cluster in my mind, But the wind of somber reality blow it off in time."

That's one of the best lines I've heard in a while. Simple yet powerful. Short and bittersweet. 

Look forward to more from you.

***Dust of honest affections often cluster in my mind,***  
***But the wind of somber reality blow it off in time.***  


***Wardens of my heart often mistake fallacies for love.***  
***But my consciousness kills the camouflaging doves.***  


***Drops of my thoughts often drain in second dimension.***  
***But streams of foreign characters flood my dry attention.***  


***Rhythm of my nerves often vibe to shepard tone.***  
***But the beat of heart drops when I am alone.***
