    Slicked-Back

    The rain didn't just fall; it styled. It combed the city's black top, sleek and purposeful, smoothing down every loose gravel hair, every gritty imperfection. It left the asphalt not just wet, but slicked back, gleaming under the bruise-purple glow...

    • Yes, if this is the darkness You are speaking about, more gloomy, lonely and mysterious.

      “And there it was. Not silver. Not white. A single pearl earring. Small, perfectly spherical, with a tiny diamond chip embedded in its silver clasp.

      Not expensive. Not overtly valuable. But personal. Painfully so.”

    • Thank you kindly.

    • No one in their right or indeed write mind wants to feel down or depressed .. I found this post/poem very much to my liking indeed it was compelling .. Kind regards, Neville

    • When you’ve been there, you know

    • Peter, this touched my heart. Suffering is used to refine and strengthen us, much like a blacksmith uses a furnace to refine precious metals. Stay strong. 🌹🌾🕊️

    • I’ve had my share of dark thoughts. I don’t want to go back to that place. One can only hope the future is better.
