    • Omg, there are so many layers to this one. I read the comments above mine & saw where each came from. This one is a head tilted, brain-teaser. I see isolation, slight inspiration skirting around the edges, darkness peering though & the inevitability of death. I haven’t figured out an improvisation for that one yet. My daughter has decreed I’m not allowed to die though. Not sure that’s gonna workout for her but she says “that’s a you problem, figure it out.” If you know a cheat code on that, I’d be grateful if you’d share, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think you’re pretty much spot on in your analysis, there are multiple elements in there for sure. Usually is in my writes. lol. I don’t know a cheat code, I don’t think there is one. Appreciate you.

    • Seems like a cool person. I can relate a lot to the guy. I am more into music than books and poetry. Also reminds me of all the great poets I came across through the years. How I admired them and miss many of them.

      Great interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s a very cool person, hopefully he might show up someday. That door is always open. Thanks so much for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • Great piece Damian. Your a talent my friend. Is Pete aware of this site?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s aware, I think his profile is set up here, he’s just taking some time away. Which I understand. I took over two years away from writing. Thanks for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I enjoyed this this Damian. I hope he gets to see this interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I hope he sees it too. I miss him a lot. Thanks so much for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I miss his rapid-fire style & quick (sneaky) wit. Wherever he is now, I hope he’s blowing people’s minds & being properly appreciated. Sigh…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I’m sure he is, he is a talent and a gentleman, and it is a sneaky wit. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. I miss him too, he is a talent and a gentleman, I keep hoping he shows up as well. Appreciate you.

    • Wait, you’re saying Pete is missing? Damn. John Lennon was one of the all-time greatest lyricists ever. It’s so cool that Pete comes from Liverpool.

      A lot of guys don’t like taking Propranolol regularly. It’s not a friendly drug for the bedroom, if you get my drift. Works good for hypertension and tachycardia, though.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. Well, not literally. lol. He’s taking a break after the closing of DU. Lennon was an incredible lyricist, the Liverpool part was really cool. He was a gifted writer with a distinct style, and a true gentleman. Unfortunately, they all have some kinda effect. I get your drift though, my bat is still effective when I’m at the plate. lol. Appreciate you.

    Within These Cracks

    There are such long-forgotten tracks,hidden here within these cracks,between each and every line...a most nefarious sort of design. While the poetry seeks to beguile,such venom behind every smile—meant, then, to be kissedafter any warning is missed. Or so it always does...

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Pulls at these old heartstrings my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Look back but always step forward. This was inspirational, Brenda. Thank you.

      • hello dearest Daniel thank you for the love on this I was feeling stuck so I wrote about it I’m going to keep pushing forward 💕💕

    • I’ve been telling myself the past is not a destination. But it is a guidepost. Despite memory & fear, there’s nothing waiting there. Just an empty space of was-ness. The step forward can be terrifying though

      • hello beautiful Willow I can’t help but retrace my steps thank you for your understanding heart yes it is scary I’m doing my best though I deeply appreciate you bein here 💕

    Transpoetic

    With every new coin I toss,or every bridge I dare cross,I do love to step over the line,upending every poetic design. As I again try to make my way,in the quest to somehow unsaythese stanzas within the night,left here forever...
