This is a heartfelt tribute to your friends. Lovely

Beautifully penned, Brenda. Excellent tribute my friend, some people come into our lives to change it for the better. At least that’s been my experience. Appreciate you.

Ahh, Brenda, I think our days in the Underground molded and changed us all in some fashion. You will always be my leather thigh high stiletto boot stomper. Nobody lays down fire like you. There’s a lot of echoing back to us still, isn’t there from those halls? I found my fierce…in no small part by watching you rock it out so fearlessly. Love you, girl 🧡

good evening dearest Damian I feel the emotions behind your lyrics well done ❤️

It reads like an anthem for introverts. Society doesn’t like us much. They don’t like nuance & complication. We often find ourselves at the mercy of the abuser without even playing the game. They want easy, straightforward answers and guaranteed results, but like Kierkegaard said, “the crowd is untruth”.

Phenomenal piece of poetry (lyrics) Damian. You are a talent. Your writing always shines!

This hits hard and I like the rhythm of the piece.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. One of my goals as a writer whether it be lyrics, poetry, or prose was the hope that my readers or listeners would know they’re not alone in their troubles in this world. Appreciate you.

It’s a damn shame this one didn’t get its voice. I can hear it in my head. It’s powerful. You going to give it an album slot? Hint…hint… Seriously though, this is a fantastic piece. Going in my list, my friend!

Powerful work. Great writing.

You did an exceptional work here, You’ve expressed emotionally and psychically what abuse is, another lines that caught my attention,

“i am judged for their crimes
captive in a cell called resent”

It’s when we get above our victim character we forive and we are free, we don’t forgive for them, we forgive for ourselves, for us living a life we deserve. Yet, some people don’t understand that this process doesn’t end in one day or two! and even many of those who were under abuse may spend their whole life without completely recover, and You see some people judge their actions, behaviors, way of living… etc putting more pressure on their emotional state making them shrink more into their own safety bubble. They don’t recognize the amount of work these persons have been doing to overcome their pains and hurt… then You see someone throw a silly ignorant word/s making things worse, like You are being the criminal instead of the victim.

Brilliant work.

It is aways a pleasure to penned with the Queen of Haunt.

DAMN! This is phenomenal. The wording, the image, the fonts, the whole package. Great work the two of you did.

Powerfully penned, Brenda & Adagio. Amazing collaboration you two. Nicely done. Appreciate you, both.

Damian

This is very good, Brenda.

Yes, we all hope to see our lovers in our next life, cheers to that!

Passionately penned, Brenda. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Chère C.,
Oh yes, I can relate to this: between hope and fear.
Love your talent and your ability to (re) organise my mood.

Warm regards, Gus

Sexy write Brenda. Nice work.

I enjoyed this. My favoirite line was “mingling on the winds” something magical.
Kind regards
