    In Retrospect

    Is there something I haven’t seen yet in life? Is it something that will be revealed to me? Is this life one of perceptual distortions? Is nothing really what it seems? All this frightens me! For if I made it this far in...

    • Life…so many questions! Are we “living” in a simulation? Not real at all, but a “player” or side character in a futuristic game based on 2025. Another theory is the multiverse. I drowned as a little girl. They revived me and I lived on. But in another realm did I die and just shift to continue on? Are any of us real?

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. Incredible write my friend, human nature has a twisted side. Appreciate you.

    Alone

    I am alone. I have been for a long time. I don’t know what friendships are like anymore.   I am alone with all these ghosts of my past! Memories that I cannot tell were real or imagined.   I am alone with no...

    • Well I can’t say I relate exactly because I’ve always enjoyed more alone time than the average person, but there’s definitely a point where it isn’t what you want or need anymore. There is some value in learning to be by yourself but it’s still not always fun. I liked the repetition, really helped drive the point home.

    • You could have wrote that about me. So relatable! Awesome!!!

    • Great write Daniel

      I’m alone most of the time but seldom lonely.Lots of people fill their days but are still incredibly lonely.You can’t run from loneliness so best bet is just to make friends with it…works for me.
      I guess loneliness is different for everyone.

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. I can relate to this write my friend. I like being alone at times, but I’ve went spans without interaction when on a drinking bender, I started to unravel a little. It was a deep rabbit hole. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

    My mood mimics the moon

     It starts off full and swelling bursting at the seams as if it will engulf the world in its beauty  Slowly, ever so slowlyIt begins to disappearAnd shadow creeps in  I secretly prayed for it to stay To embrace me in its warmthMy prayers...

    Silent Surrender

    She slept turned gently on her side,Her back to him, her breathing deep.He lay behind her, hands still tiedBy fear and years and broken sleep.He longed to touch, to press, to feelThe shape he’d loved so long ago.But silence...

    • Echo the others
      This is how erotica is written

      Bravo !

      • Thank you Poetspeak. I’m grateful that you spent time to read and comment.

    • I steer clear of porn for the most part. But this is not that. It has taste and intrigue. It’s a thoroughly enthralling read. Well done.

      • Thank you so much. I know I have the tendency to straddle the line between erotica and porn, so I am appreciative of your comment.

    • Passionately penned, RPM. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

    Acquitting Sin

    Screams are amplified inside the chamberInsults are hurled before any intent is shownThey speak of harming their leftist neighborWhile calloused hearts become hard as stone Hate-speak echoes off cold desperate wallsEnvious egos grow bitter before turning sour   Hanging judges fill...

    • Right from the X posts to the Headlines. Radical right meets radical left – everyone in between pays the price! I’m going to end here but I’m coming back with a link to one I wrote.

      • Thanks so much for reading, Paula. This write is just an observation, it’s not about left or right, blue or red, donkey or elephant to me. It’s more good vs. evil in my opinion. It’s about wealthy vs. poor. Most politicians are owned by someone, a corporation, a wealthy 1% family. Sure I used the word leftist, but it can be whatever at the end of the day. But that was the flavor I was going for was money and power equals no accountability. Appreciate you.

    • Damian great write but the buffoons that run the world aren’t listening.
      Too busy making money by any means possible.
      Lies have become the truth and truth lies.
      Orwell saw it coming.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Peter. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree they aren’t listening, and making billions. We’re going to have Trillionaire’s soon, corruption is all that’s trickling down in the end. It is topsy-turvy, everything has been turned on it’s head. Appreciate you.

    • It doesn’t surprise me that rich people try to screw over the poor. What surprises me is how many people are so happy to get screwed while complaining that they have hard lives. They want war. They want blood because some people disagree or just tell them reality. It’s wild.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It seems the more I observe humanity, that there are people who look for scapegoats, especially the wealthy 1%. Such vampires. lol. Appreciate you.

      Song: Absolutely Sweet Marie

      When there’s so words of my own to describe something I go back to the Master

      That’s happening a lot lately …

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Speak. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Love the Dylan quote. Great song as well. Can’t go wrong with Mr. Zimmerman. I get spells of that sometimes. Appreciate you.

    • I believe this one will only continue to become more relevant as long as they wealthy hold the keys to freedom. Unfortunately. An reverse Robin Hood situation we got going on. I swe things happening & quietly write down my suspicion on their next crime. I wish I wasn’t right so often. And you…prophet. I hope it’s not too late & the scales can still be tipped, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I couldn’t agree with you more. It is Robin Hood in reverse. The world has gone all topsy-turvy lately, the lines are blurred. I wish I wasn’t right so often, actually I would loved to be proved wrong on a lot of things. I hope so as well my friend. Appreciate you.
