The cup of truth. I like how you wrote that even though it is broken, it is its most valid form.

Hey Fia… thanks

I love the idea of painting over sorrow with gold.
The rest flowed flawlessly amiga.
It’s great seeing you post:)

Lots of wabi-sabi, now ma aware, the rhyme of one word…

As beautiful a write as it is strong. This is the type of write I search for. Strong, empowering. Hopeful.
I feed off such things, to better my own writing, by the mood created in a write. You succeeded greatly here.

Sinisterly penned, Brenda. A powerful dark write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Fantastic!

Powerfully penned, Adel. Into the book it belongs! Excellent write my friend, this one has layers. Appreciate you.

Damian

Truly engaging… tight lines… smooth rhyming

Thank you!
Wanted to try something different and from a victim perspective.
Criminal Minds sometimes freaks me out! Lol

There’s two of you!? What!
No way, you’re as original as they come sweetheart!
I’ve always enjoyed reading your material, obviously. It was what reeled me in to begin with. This write of yours shows your diversity in themes and mood too. Not too dark, but plenty of shadowy imagery to compel the reader to peek.
Solid write, super intriguing.

Hey babe,
Sometimes you write something and wonder if you should post. This was one of those writes. I posted it on
DUP a long time ago and heard about the whole Houston thing. It reminded me of this write so I put it back out in the writing universe. lol. Thanks for being my rock honey. You are priceless!

Well I identify as a rock, but we both know that I’m a stick. LOL
Smooch!

Just when we think we forgot a feeling, dreams give us a nudge
Thank god for dreams.
Nice to see you posting:)

Powerfully penned, Fia. My subconscious likes to play tricks on me. lol. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you, cuz.

‘Shuddered breaths’, what a sensual way to describe that moment when time stands still and hearts flutter. And the whole world awaits your touch. Nicely penned, Fia.

Beeeautifully laid poetry, Dear Poetess 🍷
But, what else would we expect from the gal with a star-blessed pen✨

While so many of us will easily relate to your sentiments in comparing the greatest love of our lives with every one thereafter, only a rare few can express its essence as eloquently skilled as you have here … tugs my mind and heart back to wondrous yearnings I still dream of and never got over, and most likely never will.

I actually felt “shuddered breaths” … amazing, Fia!
Thank you for sharing You! ⁓ Rascal🖌

This short poem read so wistfully. I could feel it all as the word unfolded so beautifully with that disquietingly powerful ending. A great reflective poem.
