Bass pulsates, shock waves of air Sweat, perspire As friction flares Grinding vibrations, desire Muffling tunes of despair Escape through the amplifier

Rhythm Driven
Bass pulsates, shock waves of air Sweat, perspire As friction flares Grinding vibrations, desire; Muffle despair.
Escape via amplifier!
Together, Selective Simplicity This frequency inspires, Experience electricity Holding tightly the equalizer
Songs of life, incomplete Passions, Smiles As pain competes claiming victory for a while; but hearts speak Melodies inspire denial selecting what we keep.
The equalizer, a distribution Of reality, often bleak; Life, our only illusion has yet to be complete.
So, escape via amplifier the only reason being desire You choose what you require; Reality-- Fantasy inspired.

I will come back to this if u want a deeper critique (put a copy of it in Tough Love if u do) but I do see an improvement on your last poem...still a little bit cold, especially for the subject which is very close to my heart by the way

rhythm-wise, Dev...I am not getting this so I suggest Thoth has a look at it....he might be able to explain why it's not working...of course, it could be me but I am finding the stresses all amok....and I rather feel like a poem about rhythm should be strong rythmically
