ha ha ha, this was comical to me. Not because inherently it has comedy in it, but the juxtaposition between love and misery, fighting and surrendering was evocative, in a way that evoked laughter. This is certainly different than most writing here, and I don't mean that in a good way or in a bad way, it's just different with no positive or negative implications attached to it.
The tone of this shows a very intuitive person, one who's in touch with their self. But, this connection has a crux, that sensitive individuals tend to know. Sensitivity brings out the ability to penetrate insight into things most cannot, due to being able to gaze into the mystery, into the subtlety. However, the double-edged sword is that the burning desire to understand this inner world means the creation of your own trap. Here, you display these trappings; love within misery, misery within love, never fully revealing your intention. Paradox is a great tool, but eventually you must allow the winds of your own non-conformity to settle for a moment to lead us, the reader, out the dungeon that you yourself guided us into. Now, while you can leave us trapped in there, that is only a tool that should only be used at particular junctions because it leaves a sense of disastication on the reader because the path never went anywhere, it just went kind of full circle, without probing the depths of what can potentially be.
You also have a very rich voice to your writing, it seems experienced. What you lack though is the ability to go outside of yourself and disregard these barriers you created, so you can add other dimensions to your writings; other things that will add more richness to your pieces. And this other syntactical devices that could help are things that add a more tangible feel to your work, similes and allegories that pertain to something outside of your own feelings. Perhaps, you sometimes you do muster this, but its an exception and every writer has tendencies they must be aware of so they can deconstruct themselves constantly. Tendencies that show in the tone, in the language, vocabulary, voice, setting, emotion, choice of images and etc.
"Ambrosial refuge" I like that, will probably add it to my list of phrases I keep in the back of brain.
Thanks.
