    Wait

    I wait and allow you to unfold Everything is rushed Nothing is savored Wait until the moment The exact moment When a tremor Signals It is time Time to allow you To unfurl like A deadly flower You tempt me To lean over Convince me that You are ready Still… Something… Is held back I’ll wait

    The Unchecked

    I sometimes wish I was like you.Free and untethered to any conscience.Void of external consequences.Churning the internal maelstrom into my favour at will.Scratching at the seams of a reality that everyone accepts but doesn’t realise.Then I wouldn’t have the...

    Shallow

    Something’s off can’t you feel that? Her cold heart it never skips a beat Graveyard smile sits under a top hat His bitter words swirling in the heat   Jealousy creeps into a sterile conversation  Insults being hurled through false information   Nothing’s wrong can’t you let...

      Yes.. yes this had me nodding my head. I like how you created this.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked those lines as well but there are many in this one I dig. I was just experimenting around and I wanted a third person vibe mixed in was my thought, and this is what came out of my brain. lol. Appreciate you, Cuz.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve been rhyming for so long as a writer that it’s become muscle memory. I don’t write many free verse poems because no more than I pen a couple of stanza’s I’ve already started rhyming without even thinking about it. lol. By that time I like what I got already, so why go back and take out the rhymes and lose the plot. I don’t count syllables because I’m too lazy for one thing and I always write while listening to music, so I guess I’m following the drummer. Or my wife thinks I follow my heartbeat which I guess could be the case, since I have wrote without listening to tunes it’s just not very often. Appreciate you.

    • I bet you feel so much better now this is out here and presumably doing the rounds .. well penned my literary friend .. Neville

    • I think it’s funny how everyone (including me) noticed the perfect rhyme schemes.

      Favorite lines: Everyone’s got a story what’s yours?

      He’s unable to read between the lines

      Looking different behind closed doors

      She’s left all alone where hatred dines

      Jealousy can tear two people apart as easy as a bird tears the limbs of a mouse.

      Another fine poem, Damian.

      • Thank you so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s my favorite stanza as well. I’ve been rhyming for so long it’s kinda second nature at this point. I’ve sat down several times thinking I’ll write in free verse. Two stanzas in and I got rhymes and once again the whole free verse thing doesn’t happen. lol. Jealousy can cause lots of turbulence for sure. Appreciate you.

    • There is so much in this one, and too many amazing lines to quote. This is a masterpiece in subtle storytelling, if one pays attention. That question of what’s your story carries a lot more weight than meets the casual eye. Because how do you answer that? My sweetie always says “Be more specific? I could answer from a dozen different angles, all truth, and still not answer what you’re asking.” Another incredible piece, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with write my friend. You got what this one was truly all about, I was focused on the storytelling throughout. I wanted the stanzas to connect as one through different scenarios. There are several angles indeed. I don’t think there is a simple answer to that question my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • That opening line is an attention grabber.
      I’m loving these with the couplets and rhyme scheme.
      Excellent work sir.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It does grab one’s attention indeed. I’m glad you’re digging them brother. They’ve been fun to pen while having a different vibe to them. Appreciate you.
