I was just saying how perfectly it came together before I logged in I had the start of a poem forming and you inspired me deeply to continue on thank you for the honor of collabing with you💕

I really like how it turned out. You make my dark thoughts turn blue.

I think we are tuned into the same channel.

Beautifully penned, Brenda & Adagio. Amazing collaboration you two. Appreciate you, both.

I got caught in the description of she being married to the demon and being convinced to go to hell, Nice done crimsin

Passionately penned, Brenda. Incredible imagery my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Brenda, your gift at creating an incredible visual with your writing is top of the bar. I’m speechless

It’s the same for most mental illnesses.
Those that have never suffered from them cannot entirely understand what’s happening in the mind of the afflicted.
My mental health illness of choice (as if I had any) was depression.Everyone looked for a reason as to why it happened and yes there may have been some reasons but essentially I am predisposed to it.
They also presume medication will fix it when in fact it can’t.It can lessen the impact but the brain and the mind of a ‘ looney’ neuroplaticly savant ( I just made that up so no point googling it) in that it’s like trying to catch the wind and tame it.
I’m rambling a bit but today is a suffering day and writing ,as you well know,calms the mind.Doesnt have to be good writing,just has to be good enough to quiet the mind.
You’re husband is destined for heaven,if there is one,just tell him to keep away from my wife.They are saints in the making.It cannot be easy for either to understand our suffering but without them we probably wouldn’t be here?
One final thing.For all the shit that depression brought it also helped kick open a door that let kindness and compassion flood into me.
I often encounter people in social settings that trivialise or worse vilify those with mental health issues.What they don’t understand is they are only a bees dick away from themselves.
You take care sweetie and I mean that from the heart of my bottom…lol.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

thank you beautiful Mary it’s just what I’ve been through go through I deeply appreciate the lovely comment and understanding 💕

Powerfully penned, Brenda. The human mind is powerful, but it can be like putting together a puzzle, with very vague directions. Amazing write my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

Damian

This is sweet and insightful. If only people could see the reflection in the mirror. Do onto others as you would like them to do onto you. (I remember some school teaching)

Ich liebe es, Elke! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Beautifully penned, Elke. You’re a gifted storyteller my friend, really enjoyed this. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

Damian

Such a sweet and uplifting tale.
You are a wonder with so many diverse styles.

Thank you very much for reading and writing such a lovely comment, my friend!

An excellent story, to remember.

I enjoy fables, folk tales, fantasy and the like, and so I enjoyed this quite a lot. I wish this dervish could visit all around the world and teach people to behave better.

Yes you are right, Sam! The earth could be a wonderful place, if we worked together and took good care of one another and the whole planet.
Thank you very much for reading and commenting!

Beautifully penned, Benjamin. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

I can see why it was nominated. It has a dreamy and faraway quality to it.

I always think unicorn is code for a secret society this made me feel God himself was talking to me just beautiful…

I brow my spells
in leafy black-green
where sullen moons
sulk in pretty-pink

love it 💕

I was raised around poetry books, and my dad liked to dabble in it late at night. My oldest sister too, had books around, and hers were more what developed my tastes. Like this write of yours. It reminds me of old Dylan. I don’t know why. yet that’s a good thing to key my old memories of reading his stuff.
You sir, are a poet. Not just a writer. an actual poet. And that is a very good thing.
