The formatting of your poem gave me an “aha” moment. Now you’ve spoiled me for the left side of the page! Very impressionable lines throughout, like “a storm of naked syllables”. How I wish I had thought of that one. Do you prefer “Benny” or “Peter”? Let me know!

Do I scare you? Lol. We are all damaged in some way. Some of us try to heal and those efforts may damage others. Everything pours out of me and I write it down. Most if it is “brutal” which is how I described my writing around 2000. Now I use “gritty”. You can empathize or just be thankful for the life you have. Most memories or thoughts can be put down to share.

Excellent piece. I’ve read this poem twice and I can feel your passion & respect for her. Well said.

This poem is a vivid, honest look at desire – full of passion but also quiet vulnerability. The contrast between the “neon God” and “bluebirds” is striking and memorable.

I feel these words. They are otherworldly, uttered from another world beyond the one we inhabit.
Kind regards
James

We are born into circumstances. You control how those circumstances affect you. They may burden you. They may show you the right path for
you. Some people live a glorious life while others struggle to survive. So far, I have survived! I have been broken and I have pieced myself back together. I have taken many wrong roads. I have been very lost at times. Be yourself always.

I totally get this. Social media has hijacked our brains in a detrimental way to get clicks. People are going to have to wake up and purge themselves before life gets better. I see too many bad things especially on youtube.

Social media is blatantly set up to keep us angry yet we all act like it’s ok. I mean I fall for it as well. It’s hard to ignore the bullshit. But they want us angry at each other and not the crooks on the Hill. It will only get better when we vote in kind people and stop hating our neighbors. Though at this point we are way too far down that rabbit hole.
Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.
