Delusional Love Colors

~~~~~~~

Delusional love

spiraling ablaze

spinning pink threads

into scarlet cotton candy

I bet its spindle

must glint sharply

~~

a sweet rainbow abyss

sucking me in

with every bite

dazzling ecstasy-

falling into a world of colors

buoyant on the rings

of a multicolored lollipop

~~

dazzling ecstasy

running rampant in my

unmoving body,

but restless mind

Can’t fully wake up to reality

Don’t need to

Mere words and images

Swimming in and out of focus

On a staticky screen

As if they’re alive

Im fine with that

How entrancing

Bitter and sweet texts blending

Unable to differentiate

Everything’s pink, violet and crimson

How fun “love” is

Addicting insanity

Incomprehensible

Ecstasy

Painful lies

I can ignore.

Adrift

In

A world

of

Delusional

Love

Colors.

Hiya, this poem is a great representation of the emotions you feel in love. The poem is powerful and I just love it! It sends a message and it shows that not all good things happen in love. Really shows that meaning the happily ever after is not that there is a happily ever after. Keep up the AWESOME work, loved this.

Hello!
This poem is an extremely good way of describing how love feels and how it can go awry. The inclusion of words like dazzling, sweet, and color show the good side of love. For some, love can feel like a dream, something they never expected to happen. The title really moves this. "Delusional Love Colors" is a great title for what the poem is about. From what I read, it's about how love can feel unreal, something out of a daydream, but the addiction to love can be seen as scary. Something a delusional person would do, go insane over their partner.
Sorry if I understood that wrong, but overall, this is a wonderfully crafted piece. I love works taht make you think of what they mean, especially ones about love. It's such a good topic and you can't go wrong with it.

Heyo Corndog! Thanks for the review, and dw, your interpretation wasn't wrong at all! To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure myself what the poem was meant to convey... I was in an odd state of mind haha (but again, not from shady substances ofc.) But yes, I do think I tried to write about how addicting and terrifying love could feel. I love how you worded that in your review. Thxs again! :)

Hey there! I'm just writing a sort review.

I really liked this, I personally interpreted it as someone who is in love but also is aware that they are romanticising the other person "Everything's pink violet and crimson". Like they know that they aren't completely perfect and something is happening, but they ignore it because of the fun or just for sake of the moment. But still those lies are painful. "Can’t fully wake up to reality", They are aware of it but they still continue engaging in the relationship.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. It is wonderful and completely describes how it feels to ignore the pain that someone you romanticised is making you feel.

I loved it!

Came to leave a short review!

This gives Alice in the Wonderland vibes because of how random, fantastical, and vivid it is. Since I don't have much time to review, I'll make this really quick.

For me, I will interpret this as someone who is madly in love with another. So in love to the point that they cannot see the lies flashing before their eyes. The person they love may be a red flag, but as the title says "Delusional Love Colors" she may be mistaking it for a green flag or something else. Obviously the narrator needs someone to bring her back to reality before the delusion wears her down and consumes her.

Overall, this is a great poem! It throws you off like you're in a fantasy land, but holds a meaning deeper than its innocent playful tone.

This is alpacaboss, signing off.

You just explained the message a lot better than I could've done in a thousand years. Thank you for the review!

It was a delight to read! Keep on writing, you got quite a talent for writing :D

Hello there! You seem new here since you just joined approximately around March, this year. I saw this was a new writing in the Green Room and decided to review/comment on it because there are no comments yet. if you don't know me, this is Ina aka loveissourgrapes. I have a new poem too. You can read it if you want.

First impressions. When I saw the title, I wanted to read it. because I love reading poems that are relatable or are related to delusions. Since the title had the word "colors" in it, I excepted it to have great descriptions about colors. And you did great with that. Your note reassured me that you are not sad while writing stuff like this.

"Delusional love
spiraling ablaze
spinning pink threads
into scarlet cotton candy
I bet its spindle
must glint sharply"

The first stanza. This stanza felt like a great introduction to the message you are trying to express. The descriptions of different pinks are great and imaginative. I can see a pink cotton candy sunset, and glitters and all. So pretty. it explains that you have a imagination of what love is like. The first thing a person can think of when they hear the word love is the color pink. So, the timing of the mention of pink in the start was great.

"a sweet rainbow abyss
sucking me in
with every bite
dazzling ecstasy-
falling into a world of colors
buoyant on the rings
of a multicolored lollipop"

The second stanza describes love and your delusions as a rainbow. The description of a rainbow as a multicolored lollipop makes me imagine the narrator twirling and getting sucked my a slide that is multicolored and rainbow-like. The slide is like the narrator's delusions and their imagination. A pathway and escapism to reality about love.

I didn't put the ending stanza of this poem on my review about it is long but I will let you about it. It is beautiful to dream about love and fall into delusions. But is painful when you realize they are not real. The line "bitter and sweet texts blending" is a great explanations of how delusions, how a mad single person's way of thinking about love and how they may or may not accept the reality of life. Love to these type of people is stupid, and painful lies. Since these usually happened to people in our generation, this poem is pretty sad if you think about it more closely.

Overall, I love the writing style. And the message gives a great impact on people in this generation and how they can misinterpret what love is like because of their delusions and creative imaginations. Keep it up! c:

Have a great day/night too!

Woah. Your analysis is so deep! I feel like I learned something new while reading this even tho it's about my own poem. Thanks for the review, and have a great day/night too! :)
