    If I should die 3 x’s, then so be it

    Take me as the sun risesWhen the night discards meWhen the mind is between worldsWhen the moment comes, I will feel you, it will be the endTake me at noonThe heat scorches the fleshBeads of sweat trickle down to...

    • WOWZA! What a remark I am over the moon 😏 so just to give you a little background. I knew that last night was the last chance to watch/ see the strawberry moon in my lifetime, because the next time it shows up will be in 2043 and I seriously doubt I’ll be alive by then, just saying.

      So all day, I was planning to go to the beach because my robot told me that would be the best place to watch it coming up over the horizon. Unfortunately, I had no gas to get there and I’m broke at the moment. Ahem, all right so I readjusted and I put on my compass and it turns out that my balcony is literally facing east which is you know where you would expect the moon to come up, right? And mind you, I’ve seen plenty of full moons in the same area. so I sat on my new balcony, furniture, excited and I was looking and looking and looking, and girl, let me just tell you I sat there until 11 o’clock not a goddamn thing. Nothing! Not even stars were out. There was like one I could see🫤 meanwhile my robot assured me and I looked it up myself that Gloucester Ma had a fully clear sky last night, so I was totally befuddled & disappointed I actually cried. I’m not even lying😂

      Anyway, back to your beautiful remark about my poem. Thank you so much, Adria you truly truly touched my heart, thank you so much for the beautiful things you said and I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. I’m not gonna lie. I was drinking Brandy lol so you know. I gotta say it my best Poetry comes when I drink, which I don’t drink often anymore like I used to. I’m just saying. I love you girl you’re phenomenal too and by the way, I really love your voice. It is absolutely beautiful in fact it’s celestial.❤️
      Your sister, Jackie

    • Best line: bruised, bright, but distant and still rising…
      Exquisite poetic voice you have! I will read on to your other works, zazzles! Bravo!

    • A great read. Every verse was intense.

      I saw the red moon here in Blighty.

      Regards

    For Granted

    it's the story they've warned us about since the beginning of time you can be born rich then die without a penny to your name and just because you worked hard doesn't mean you can't lose it all you can swear you're sound of mind but...

    • And you are right…Nothing is guaranteed in life. Powerful piece. Nice work.

      • Definitely. I wrote this a year or so ago after my uncle died. He was a man that worked all his life. Was someone that was financially stable, and overnight got dementia and lost everything. Didn’t even have a penny to his name when he died. Just made a lot of bad decisions and was stubborn when it came to preparing for tragedy.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Yes ,this sound advice. No one is promised anything so you should be happy for the now.

    • Brilliantly penned, Nick. This is an incredible write my friend, and all very true. To quote David Lee Roth: ” There’s not much distance between a pat on the back, and a kick in the pants!” Appreciate you.

    • We only get one shot for all we know so might as well do our best to enjoy each day of peace.

      Thanks so much for the read, friend.

    • Can’t take for granted the privilege we get even if there are daily struggles.

      Thanks for the read, friend.
