    • hello dearest Benny my pain is just too great to live any other way I’ve really honestly tried more than once and I will never willingly put myself through that again… this is powerful if you have a better way to cope I am happy for you my friend ❤️

      • The root cause of all suffering is thinking.That’s where the answer lies.
        I coped by reading as much as I could about depression, grief,the way our minds work and trick is.The best material,without sounding religious,was in Buddhism.
        Happy to share some authors with you if you’re interested.
        🙏🙏🙏🙏

    • Dearest Light💕
      You may not post that often, but when You do, for a moment at least, I swear You make the world feel a calmer and much better place by lending me the comfort of a warm glow, even in winter .. Neville 💛💛⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌻🌻👍

      • Sometimes I feel that I’ve lost it, but then comes sudden at times a heartwarming review from You* I read it enough times, and note this note of gratitude, “Thank You, then, now and later.”Me*☺️💕

    • Good Morning my extra sweet friend 😊

      We all have a moment/moments when we don’t want to be strong anymore, and surrendering to whatever comes is not weakness in fact it’s an ultimate courage. Thank You for your genuine feelings and extra kind words💕 may peace always wraps your heart and mind 🤍✨🙏🏻🌻💖

    • Brilliantly penned, Light. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • This is heartbreaking. Never to return to the one you love.

      • Sadly, it happened at least 22 million times between 1914 & 1918 .. but thanks for the positive nod Fia .. AGT’s Neville 🌻👍

    • Powerfully penned, Neville. Excellent storytelling my friend. Some never learn it seems. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Tremendous. Powerful work, my friend.

    • Please excuse this late response to your heart-warming and otherwise encouraging review comments for which I am seriously very grateful .. Kind regards and wishing you and yours all the very best of All Good Things, Neville 😎🌻👍

    • War is not for lovers, nor for any real human… Unfortunately even when you don’t want to fight, sometimes there is no other option. sadly… it’s the people who get the bad consequence while the ones in power stay in power, greed… greed and more greed… their ego seems never to be filled, and I don’t believe these kind of people will learn anything, because they don’t look to this as “mistake”. Still, good peaceful coffee morning ☕☕ dearest Neville ✨🌻

    • Of course, You are absolutely right & I know no one who know this for real more than You .. I am raising my extra large mug of strongest black coffee to You write now my dearest G .. 😎💛🌻⭐🌟☕☕👍

    • There is no future in the past. Only lessons. Nice one

    • Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
      The only real problem with AI is, that it makes the truth almost impossible to discern.Seeing used to be believing but not anymore.No doubt, the powerful and the wicked will use AI for any other reason than to create poetry etc.

    The Shadow of You

    The Shadow of You   Sitting here thinking, drinking my Black and Tan contemplating the stormy motion I see in shadows   *****   Yes, it’s dark in there but, occasionally you can see different shades of black mixing with greys and an undercurrent of blue. Sometimes, usually when you least expect it,...

    • Powerful work. I felt this to the core of me.

    • This is a very beautiful work, my friend. I love your, “unruly midnight moon,” and there are so many other lines that touched me deeply; if I tried to mention them here I might as well write every line.

    • Someone told me that to describe the feelings within shadow was a testament to writing good poetry. I don’t know about that, but I admit, I love this poem, the flow of it, and that you saw and felt it is warmly appreciated. I knew an artist friend who drew scenes in pencil. She had one piece, a landscape, done in black pencil that I swear when you looked at it deeply, you could see blue streaks flow in it. Some of that experience of seeing this piece of art is what I tried to capture in this poem and where that line: “…kaleidoscope of greys” came from.

      Mary, thank you, your visits and comments mean a lot to me.

    • FlatDaddy, it thrills me that you were touched by this poem. You might be surprised to know that unruly moon gets really rambunctious at midnight. Then again, we are the same age, so you probably know all about unruly moons. At any rate I truly welcome your visit and thanks for a great comment (and message).
