    Point of No-Return (Collaboration with Duhsjaak )

    Point of No-Return Like pearls your tears glisten on the leavesA masterpiece of nature's magicSo marvelous and yet so tragicBecause it was us who caused your grief  We live as if there was no tomorrowGlobal warming and droughts we acceptAs progress'...

      Also on behalf of Sappho, I would like to thank you for listening.
      The lyrics are about something we both care deeply about. And she was the one to write this inspiring poem. And artwork of course.

      Thank you so much for your very fine compliments. They go a long way!

      Kind regards, Sappho and Gus

    • I said it before. Wonderful collaboration ❤️

    • Powerful penned, Elke and Gus. Excellent collaboration you two. Great lyrics, Elke and excellent music, Gus. Your guitar tone has a little Neil Young vibe going on. Top notch both of you. Appreciate you, both.

    • I bow most reverently to Sappho ‘n Gus 🙏

      Stunningly beautiful, You Two, in every sense of the word.
      Artwork choice, title, and the Envelope Form in its abba rhyme-scheme (with spot-on and soft rhymes), work perfectly together, just as writing and musical skills came together in rendering this lovely, impacting virtual masterpiece in homage to Mother Earth’s ever dwindling beauty and life sustaining wonders.

      Simply, an enthralling co-write … love it deeply!
      Thank you both! ⁓ Richard🖌

      Nits:
      (Check V1-L3, “get” may have been meant as “yet”. Final stanza, L1, should “plead” be “plea”?) 🤓

      • I bow with gratitude to you, dear Richard! A breathtaking comment and the appreciation of a writer like you means a world to me!
        I have gratefully implemented your kind suggestions for improvement. As English is not my mother tongue I appreciate this all the more! 🙏

        • What lovely sentiments you share, Elke …thank you ever-so warmly.

          You’re a beautiful person and wonderfully enjoyable poetess!
          A Most Happy New Year to You! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • I’ve written a few from this vein myself and no doubt we’ll write many more, trying to get people to pay attention. The both of you did an amazing job on this. 🙌

      • There is a lot of work to be done to raise awareness of nature’s uniqueness and to call for its protection. But we won’t give up!
        Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear fellow campaigner, for your wonderful comment!

    forever keep silent

    "Zwijgen Voor Altijd"Within these walls,memory claws again—talons once rakedthrough tender skin.The bars still holdtheir verdict tight.The sound of bootsin narrow hallsmarks a rhythmtoo sharp to forget.Each strike recallsthe sentence spoken.Two figures bend low,eyes narrowed,searching shadowsfor a place to breathe.Their...
