Quote:Heart capsized
no longer drifting
further away
swims reality
This is ambiguous because of the lack of punctuation. Reality swims further away? Somewhere in the distance, reality swims? Is reality no longer drifting? Or is it the heart that is drifting?
I'm not going to assume you did this deliberately, because the lack of punctuation seems consistent throughout, rather than being a stylistic choice for one set of images.
Quote:submerged
eyes blurred
limbs wavering
unclaimed depths enticing
Are they enticing? It seems to me as if the descent is reluctant, above all.
Quote:mindless pressure pulsing
in the mirror
of dark distortion
surrounding me
numbing pressure pulsing
through the dark distorted mirror
all around me
(too much emphasis is on the "surr" ins "surrounding", leaving the stanza unbalanced)
Quote:Heart capsized
No longer drifting.
further away
swims reality
You could change this to make the ending more satisfying, e.g. switch it up -
Heart capsized,
No longer drifting;
Reality swims
further afield.
