Passionately penned, Brenda. Amazing write my friend. I saw Rob Zombie with Fear Factory in concert in 1998. Great show. Appreciate you.

This is sweat and stage-light devotion—desire roaring through amplifiers and shaking your ribs.
You kneel to the myth but keep your edge; the hunger is raw, but the awe is real.

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

This is so freaking tasty, you are one of the few that will take it this far Lady. There are those that love their actions but hidden, there’s nothing like bringing them to the light. Tight

Thank you! Thank you for explaining why we don’t like to completely shave bald! You explained it perfectly.
Mark has asked me the same question! He wants to shave it because he’s curious.
I mean, it’s not like I don’t have pussy manners (hehehe) I trim!
As for the rest of the write I bow to you oh great one! I loved all the witty banter. You are fabulous my dear!

You had me at butt sex haha. Super sexy and wonderfully written.

Disgustingly moreish and indulgent! xx

You really need to consider a literary agent Boo. Look at the commercial success of 50 Shades.

So now when I snack on my Cocoa Pebbles, I’m gonna be thinking’ about it lead to drrty buttt sexxxx.

~eats Cocoa Pebbles~

(And if anyone asks me what I’m thinking about, my response will be “you wouldn’t believe me if I told you”)

It is indeed an honour to be the very first to visit and leave their mark here sir Damian .. am under no illusion at all .. A fine read & no messin .. Message received loud n clear .. Neville 😎👍

The perfect description of that famous American Antichrist: Donald Trump. I feel for you all over there, your great nation being forced to change into a Fascist, Racist State. Great summary of your pain, Damien – you always write so expressively, never afraid to speak out! Take Care, Harriet-Jacqui, Communist Woke Hypercritical England.

Outstanding piece Damian. Can relate and I’m with you on all these points. Great!

Write on Damien. Creative and to the point. Precise even.
I have a family of all different sides of the political spectrum. We had to make a point
not to get overly heated in our group texts. I’m not loosing my loved ones over politics. If I feel
overly emotionally invested then I take a break from all news outlets. I’m not letting whoever is president Republican or Democrat ruin my day for 4 years or 8.
Unfortunately somehow it’s came to that for other families.

Sorry for the ramble!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, NTD. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That it is on both accounts. Appreciate you.

There’s grief under the anger here—the ache of watching something familiar turn strange in your hands.
You don’t rant; you reckon, and that steady disappointment cuts deeper than any shout.

You’ve touched on what I refer to as “The Beast System”, and we are all guilty of supporting it. Our clothes on our backs and technology in our homes and gasoline in our cars and produce in the grocery store are all brought to us by usury & exploitation of third world populations, natural environments, and the illusion of false scarcity. I don’t judge any political affiliations or religious viewpoints because we are ALL guilty, regardless of how we choose to see it or word it and I love the accountability you are taking in this piece. Do we even recognize society at-large these days, even in comparison to the recent past? You are eloquently pointing out why we here in the West can’t have nice things, creating some cool rhymes & flow in the process.

Most appreciative, Damian!

I’ve lost family and friends to this terrible time with the colostomy bag in chief. It seems there are those who simply can’t respect the idea to disagree and let it be. They’re almost violently adamant that we’re the corrupt ones who need indoctrination. And when we refuse to drink the Kool-aid, they turn on us. I disagree with their beliefs, but unless they get nasty, I just don’t engage on the subject with them. It is hard when someone you’ve known and respected for your whole life turns on you over this situation. It makes me sad to think of their realization dawning when time ends for them and they’re forced to witness their wrongs. And what they threw away because of it. Nothing about this situation is good. Too much loss, on so many levels. I’m feeling the sadness and frustration in this one, my friend

I was drawn to this because of the Title. It got me hooked.

It’s taken me by surprise though. I didn’t expect it to be about a relationship falling apart.

But it is very well written and I admire your inner strength throughout the stanzas.

You are excellent at describing a messy and difficult situation. x
