• Starving Artist Mentality

    It’s not about the fame or accolades  That’s a young man’s way of thinking My flavor’s breaking down barricades  That’s why I quit the whiskey drinking    Success is my double edged sword Staying grounded to the harsh reality Unwilling to completely cut the cord Protecting my...

    • Art is tragically undervalued. But all artist do it because it’s a calling.

      Great ink.

    • Keep the roots. Too many get lost in the accolades & forget where they came from. And that’s how they lose the spark & become sell outs…the roots made you, carry you & they can break you if you forget. True to yourself, my friend, you’re always on point

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you wholeheartedly. I try to stay humble, as a form of discipline, to the craft. Appreciate you.

  • Change Identities

    Has worry creeped into the conversation? Something different about the atmosphere Mixed messages complicating information Mass chaos masks insanity walking in fear   Why do people constantly fuck themselves?

    • Damn you just did a mini backroom confessional. What would they not do to rise, and there is always someone there to take it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It just kinda spilled out, it had been an idea for months. I just let it stew awhile. Appreciate you.

    • Monsters believe they hold all the cards. The funny thing it’s the people that give them power.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Spot on, it is the people that give them power. Appreciate you.

    • Powerful and poignant.

    • Holy crap, what did you just do?! This is phenomenal!

      “Savagely sedated saturation”

      That is incredible alliteration right there! This whole thing just rocks the reader along…& that isn’t even saying anything about the message. Which is its own bag of holy crap! Clearly your late night musing hit a stride & you just ran with it, my friend!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yeah, I’ve learned to get out of the way when the muse is driving. lol. I just follow. I loved that line as well. I was just trying to recreate a harder hitting answer to: “Casting Couch Confessional.” The whole three C’s, Then became S’s. Sometimes my lyrical instincts take over. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. You wouldn’t be the first that felt that way, my own mother wanted to slap him upside the head a couple of times. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Reminds me of a poem I wrote around the whole invasion of iraq. The poem is lost to me, but I remember some of the lines were.

      “you can go ahead and die for your country
      I value my life over everything
      and if I’m gonna die
      it’s not gonna be me wasted away
      for a bunch of fucking creeps”

      This poem has fire and I love that.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Nice. What you remember of it. I had a lot more fire during this era of my life, I still have fire but I use it differently. At least that’s how it feels anyhow. Appreciate you.

    • I’m gonna say I would love to throw a shoe at Joey G. If Adira doesn’t get him with her boot first. Ironically, I know a lot of musicians. All young & vibrant…& all in Nebraska. It would be amazing to see your words given the credit & voice they deserve. My partner wanted me to do songwriting for musicians but I shut it down because I “only write poetry.” 🤦‍♀️ I would write with you any day though. And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that your words are properly heard, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friends. Joey G, has that effect on people. I’ll keep your offer in mind my friend, I’m thinking about trying to use GarageBand to arrange the music, and I’m gonna sing the songs myself. But down the road anything’s possible. I’m curious to see what I can come up with now, that I’m sober. Always open to collaborating. Appreciate you.

  • Dad, It's Snowing!

    solid white plains meet the horizon crystalized fine like powder   ice figures sculpted by free hand on every tree   wind swaying arctic breath flowing silently snowflakes dance   innocent eyes childhood ideas good memories nestled inside   from the window looking outward deep in thought weaving beauty   when a voice so familiar warms my soul with splendor   my son says.. Dad, it’s snowing!!     Copyright @ Damian DeadLove...

    • Awww that is so sweet. Nice memory.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. I don’t always give a lot of tender moments in my writes. lol. Tell you the truth, they’re the biggest reason I quit drinking. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. I don’t show my tender side often, this one was letting my guard down, big time. It was a special memory, in fact they’re the biggest reason I quit drinking. That and I didn’t want to damage them mentally by not understanding why daddy drinks so much. I didn’t want to scar them. I brought tears to my own eyes now. Best choice I ever made. Appreciate you.

    • Born in Minnesota so snow has a special place in my heart. Although I prefer to watch it through a window. When the kids get excited about it, it’s like magic is happening. My daughter is a huge winter fan. She talks about how she would beg to go out in snowfall & I would bundle her up to keep her warm. Made sense to me. She saw it differently…”Mom, I was bundled so snug I practically needed to be folded to get on my sled. I was a starfish!” This one brought back memories…& laughter, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked snow until I grew up, and had shit to do. It’s a love/hate deal. In your defense, it never hurts to be prepared in the elements. lol. Thanks for sharing a snow memory my friend. Appreciate you.
