Read MoreVulnerable... My wax-like existence in the presence of your flame makes my eyes drip with tears. This constant bleeding of my soul... This neverending torment... My waxy soul will sometimes avoid the world's flame, and my running tears will dry. And my wax figure will be silent... tears dried...

Touching and being touched is natures way of saying….’ I understand ‘.
Doesn’t always require sex but good sex always requires it.
Thanks Raven for your comment 💋

Death has its clock. It will not be rushed or pleaded with, but when it comes, you cannot escape its grasp. This piece was done nicely.

Great write…. paraphrasing some other person….Death awakens us from the dream of life.

We seek the same end but I choose Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” way of getting there. Good write 🌼

If you can approach your death with this kind of dignity, then you will have won.

Daniel this is magnificent. My eyes were riveted to the screen as your tale unfolded. A work of dark literary quality that was incredible to read. Truly a publishable story. Knowing this is just a chapter in your book amazes me. Truly fantastic story telling.

All I have is a pen, girl, no sword. But what do they say? The pen is mightier than the sword?

Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! The arrangement worked nicely with the words, whispers well placed, the piano was also a great choice. Amazing work my friend, excellent execution. Appreciate you.

This one is actually part of my book, From the Ashes. I always know when I have the music/vocals right when they make me cry. It takes me back to that moment, that feeling when I wrote it. I’ll be putting a number of my healing era pieces up over time. Clearing the pipes, as it were. Thank you, my friend. Your words mean more than I can express

I think that open vulnerability is a great strength, in a similar vein to how admitting ignorance is actually a sign of great intelligence. It’s easy to melt when you feel more than most…,most people wish they could burn like you.
