Fantastic!

Truly engaging… tight lines… smooth rhyming

Thank you!
Wanted to try something different and from a victim perspective.
Criminal Minds sometimes freaks me out! Lol

There’s two of you!? What!
No way, you’re as original as they come sweetheart!
I’ve always enjoyed reading your material, obviously. It was what reeled me in to begin with. This write of yours shows your diversity in themes and mood too. Not too dark, but plenty of shadowy imagery to compel the reader to peek.
Solid write, super intriguing.

Hey babe,
Sometimes you write something and wonder if you should post. This was one of those writes. I posted it on
DUP a long time ago and heard about the whole Houston thing. It reminded me of this write so I put it back out in the writing universe. lol. Thanks for being my rock honey. You are priceless!

Well I identify as a rock, but we both know that I’m a stick. LOL
Smooch!

Excellent thoughts on the physicality of intimacy. Well articulated. Great write.

I agree absolutely to you, Peter! Love is a holy union of body, mind and soul. All sides want and need to be addressed. Ideally, a relationship is based on intimacy, soul- and mindful conversations and wild and ecstatic sex. Great write, my friend!

Love requires too much. Lust is quick and easy and short term.

Nice write, Pete. Vivid, lustful, very creative.

So dark… loved it!

Darkly penned, Brenda. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

I don’t like arrogant people, I’m sure most don’t. Trying to get along with them is almost impossible so I don’t try. And being in a band with one can be maddening. I don’t know, often times I wonder if they’re just wounded and like a dog they try to fight the world and everyone in it. It takes patience I guess, and a lot of it to get through and heal those wounds. Whatever. Good one, Damian.

I consider myself a peaceful person for the most part and do want people to heal.
I always wonder what the hell happened. Everyone is born innocent but living can change people.
Experiences change people. Some grow from it and others don’t and fester.
As I got older I also learn from observing and knowing when something is a lost cause.

Enjoyed the read amigo!

You truly succeed in unlocking new points of view with your brilliant and thought provoking writing, dear Damian! Many people become hard-hearted and bitter, when the storms of life challenge them. But it is never too late to reach their hearts. ‘Aren’t we all beautiful flowers covered by thorny vínes?’ in the end, love will win over arrogance, ignorance and violence!

Superb work.

I always try to be conscious of the fact that I don’t know another person’s pain. But sometimes I really just want scruff the arrogant ones and tell them “Stop making your damage my trauma!” Wouldn’t do any good anyway. But the urge is there. That arrogance is usually armor. Crack the armor and it crumbles. Then we get to the heaet of the matter. The places you go with your musings, my friend…

That first line really hits–‘Ignorance is bliss amongst the arrogant.’ It sets the tone for such a sharp reflection on how perspective shapes truth. I love how you balance disillusionment with hope–the idea that words and compassion can still open new ways of seeing

Beautifully penned

Perfectly poemed my friend .. makes perfect sense and looks so good sitting on this particular page .. which was obviously made for it .. write on brother .. Neville 😎👍👍

Damian, this is strong tonic on arrogance. You put the iron to the fire with this without a dull moment in the. You concisely and powerfully express your views and emotions that spill across the page brilliantly.
