The way you structured the poem it looks calm then increases with intensity just to calm down again. There is so many twists and turns in one life that it is impossible to get the nuance of it. Between the government and the churches and the societal acceptance of things that should not be accepted. Very interesting write

This one hits like a freight train of memory, madness, and raw observation—gritty, sprawling, alive with every sense screaming at once.
I love how it doesn’t just tell a story; it drags you through the chaos of life, pain, and revelation, leaving you dazzled and unsettled in the best possible way.

I like how you put in there I am not sure you meant to tell me because sometimes things slip and they were never meant to be said out loud. Lovely

eternally lovely, your poetry, HJx

hello dearest Damian thank you graciously for the love on this ❤️

Simply sexy and classic

Incredible! It’s like she doesn’t want to desecrate her sacred holiness even though it begs her to give in to human desires and lust so she transforms back into smoke. Really incredible poem and picture, Crimsin.

Nice! Enticing and not tacky at all. This is pure poetry, Crims. You did a great job with it. And what a pleasure to read it.

Passionately penned, Brenda. An amazing write my friend. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Everyone who loses someone should read this to know what grief is. I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Ellie. This one pulls at the heartstrings my friend. Thank you for sharing such a personal write with us, this one illustrates how grief truly works. A very powerful write. Appreciate you.

Thank you. It’s all still so raw. L died in tragic circumstances in February. She was only 17. I miss her so much, but have just started to write again to help me process things.

Chère E.,
I hope that others, more fluent in your language, have the right words at their disposal to give you the support you need.
I read your writes in the DUP and will continue doing so here.
No one deserves this kind of loss.
And what a lovely photo you posted.
Please stay strong.
Warm regards, Gus

Each step of this transient thing we call life has its own taste of pain. I send you love, which is all I have to give.

There’s a moment in grief where realization hits like a brick…it’s always going to be different now. You captured that so perfectly. It’s more than a vacancy, it’s a new reality unexpected and unwanted. My heart is with you in your loss. 💔

Hi Elle.
I just read this. Im so so sorry. There are no words that help process loss.
All I can say is your life was blessed in having the time you did I have.
My aunt lost her two son and her husband within two years time.
She is now getting to the point where she thinks about them without crying all the time.
When she prays she occasionally will light them a candle.
She doesn’t talk about it but I think it gives her a sense of peace.
That’s what I’m wishing for you in time. A sense of peace when it feels unbearable.
Until then god bless.
