This is remarkable. It evokes so many important things to think about. I might have reversed the order of line 6 and line 7.
Outstanding poem. I look forward to reading more of what you write.
I love this poem. Your are getting a recommend. However, it needs an edit as there are some cliches and redundancies. It's easier to show them than tell. This just my opinion:
I hold you tightly,
clinging by moonlight,
but you are only
a shadow ,
my antiself,
a virtual abyss
from the false quantum vacuum,
waiting
reabsorb me,
reunite me
with the perfection
of empty blackness.
i'm of the opinion that i like what's being said, though i'm not enthusiastic about the way it's being said. that's the overall feeling i get from this. however, your title, and 'my antiself' alone are phrases that make this worthwhile reading, for the imagery they conjure and the thoughts they send rippling outwards....
Suggest rewrite first two lines using only one verb, you don't need both "hold" and "clinging"
"silvery moonlight"...Ugggh
last two lines maybe lose "with, the, of, 'tion and 'ness, and reorder perhaps.
But I still like it a lot.
