    • This is so beautiful. You still write to her.

      • Yes, I still write. When we first met back in college, I began writing her love poems. One of her girlfriends asked me if I would always write her poetry and I told her and the woman I would marry, “I will always write you poetry”. But I stopped, “life” was my excuse. We did not last (5 years total), not because of the poetry, but we began to see life differently and she got a boyfriend instead of us trying to fix things. But, always writing her poetry became a metaphor for my mistakes in our relationship, the things that I did wrong and contributed to our splitting up. I was more the “typical man” and had to learn the hard way to consciously give that shit up. I have believed that it has been this learning process about patriarchy that has made me more humane and a better human being. So yes, I still write her poetry because I never want to forget and want to continue seeing women with mutual respect and equality, as full human beings. Thank you Fia for reading and your kind words.

    • I just finished reading this and wow. It is so moving.
      Squeezes my heart while reading.
      And reading your reply to Fia made this piece even more special.
      I feel very lucky to have read this today. It’s fragile and beautiful all at the same time.
      Can’t say enough about it:)
      Thanks for sharing

      • Thank you, Adelphina. I really appreciate your comment and happy you found it moving. I often think about her, how she’s doing, is she happy, wondering how her life has been. She has always held a piece of my heart. Thanks again, I hope you are well Adelphina.

  • MaryJane’s Last Dance

    It was day 23 of Poetry Month
    when you walked through the door,
    And I said,
    “Oh my, my. Oh hell yes”
    as my eyes landed on
    that party dress;
    thigh high red with
    a side slit stare, and
    I was pulled into your sway.
    MaryJane delights
    played in my mind,
    like how smoke and fog
    swirled in kaleidoscope air,
    and we be…Read More

  • Hello Me
    It has been a while
    You reached a plateau
    traveling many miles

    What you failed to do
    Is see what is occurring around you

    Or you’re choosing not
    Not to see
    Not to hear
    Not to “oh my” share??

    Me this can not be
    Your voice and thoughts need..need..

    To be set free
    Free from the confines
    Of societies vines…Read More

    • Crimsin I love how you interwoven this with politics. “Should I die also so that you may live” that is deep

      • thank you beautiful Fia politics is his favored place to be…your comment made me smile also humbling me ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write that gives me Robert Johnson vibes my friend. He is involved in everything especially politics and Hollywood. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

      • thank you dearest Damian in my thoughts I always think I was at the rebellion and I had a choice then to leave with Lucifer of be born human to be tested and die…in my mind he comes around sometimes to mock my mortality…I always answer him the same that Hollywood and Politics are his favorite places to be…for the most part these distract him but there are times he acutally struggles with thoughts I appreciate your thoughts it does remind me of a meeting at the crossroads ❤️

    • It’s the journey and the mystique of your vibes that always
      keep this reader enthralled

      Much respect

      Naaj

      • hello dearest Naajir I know you may not hear him from time to time but I believe you are aware of his motive of operations…I appreciate you getting the vibe here really I was unsure if anyone would… I feel so kooky writing these but I always have to follow my pen thank you graciously ❤️

    • I don’t even know where to start with this one. There’s so much depth to it, and quiet emotion that unwinds in a shout. Incredible, Brenda 🧡

      • hello beautiful Willow thank you for feeling the emotion here it is indeed deep….this goes back to before the angel rebellion we all there some of us chose to born human to be tested God didn’t ever want another conflict…Lucifer feels a lot of guilt but he travels with an entourage and distracts himself in politics and Hollywood…on my end is torment knowing deep down he regrets what he did…I deeply appreciate your thoughts ❤️
