 Amplifier (Expanded and renamed: Rhythm Driven)

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

***Rewrite***
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
