Lone, rusty light bulb- illumine my thought.
Flick'ring periodically, shining through the clutter.
Canvas in corner, half-finished portrait of which I can't even
Remember – the subject.
Some scripts (for the studio) stand to be sold on the side.
Back to me – Hey! – Over here! – closer –
Stop! Hammertime (literally) trashing
The basement with nuts, bolts, and screws
Twisting tighter, snapping spilling over the floor
Wood held together by mettle of metal, forcing (puns) parts to
Fit in.
Of machines, Leonardo made multitudes; this one sweats out a few.
Now just engines, power, to fit and finish off the earlier work.
Good stuff, right?..
WHAT?!
Bills, contracts, leases, hassles – I know not, I know
Not!
Let me alone, begone with you, you raven!..
Did Da Vinci have it this hard?

I think this is rather beautiful, but it shouldn't be to the right, it made it somewhat confusing!
I want a lover I don't have to love.

Hey ilyaeelz!

This was a really interesting poem! I liked it. Is the formatting purposeful? If it has a meaning to you, I would keep it that way, because it's a really interesting way to read this poem. Kind of enhances the oddity of the poem. If it's not intentional, there's a way to reformat it to be on the left ;)

My comments are in red!
Lines I really liked are in blue!

WHAT?! I don't understand this line. When I was reading, it broke me out of the poem. It also seems like their should be a better transition between the line before this and the line after, this felt awkward and actually made me go "what??"

Overall I really liked this poem! With a few tweaks it will be superb.

Keep writing you talented poet!

This kinda sounded like a contemporary poem...I don't know what I just did say
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

I wonder if people felt the freedom in our culture to love louder, if they'd be quicker to say "I miss you" when the absence of someone is felt instead of just thinking it.
