    St. Augustine

    At work today I couldn't help but notice the war pictures in my office men in uniform with guns in their hands in black and white photos and I couldn't help but think about you how you've seen the world at its cruelest in its most...

    • It was a great vacation baby! And when I saw this title, I was expecting it to be more about that, and not about my Army years, etc.
      I used to write little snippets of lines on whatever scrap paper I could find back then. It was my woo-sah thing. Nowadays we have computers and Ipads etc. My ol tablet was my go-to for years! It’s ancient and still works, like me. LOL

      This is a beautiful gift, this write. I took it to heart, right beside where you reside already. You are incredible.
      I know how lucky I am, to have found you. Or you snared me, whichever it was!!!
      This is quite a write, babydoll. Dammit.

    • Well it’s all true. I wanted to post a pic but I couldn’t fit it and I was excited to post this!
      I didn’t want to try and figure it out.
      I was jotting things down at work after lunch. Came home and wrote this.
      I’m lucky to have found you too. It’s a two way street here pal!
      Okay. Time to go to bed! I’m fixing to call you goodnight!

      I love you too!!

    • You had us at St Augustine, you couldn’t had read us at DUP and not know we have tons of family there. We read this seeing Seminoles, and Spanish cannon offering freedom to runaways. Tight

    • We went to go see the fountain of youth museum and they fired the cannon!
      OMG Meme! It was awesome! Viva St. Augustine they shouted before they lit the cannon.
      Had a great time and beautiful memories. You are so lucky to have family there. It’s beautiful.
      That was my first visit. Hopefully with more to come.

      Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

    • Adelphina, I was expecting to read about a vacation to St. Augustine Florida but was so moved beyond words by the story that unfolded before my very eyes. Truly a treasure of a poem that I am most honored to read by you tonight. This is filled with everything great poetry is about. A gently scribed lovers passion of a poem.

      John

      • Hi John!

        I jotted things down all day at work. Went home and got started writing.
        I caught my small little typos – it’s vs its and fixed!!
        I was in a rush to get the words down they slipped by me!
        I’m glad you enjoyed :). And it’s nice to see you on my page.
        I hope you have been well amigo:)

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Blimey A. This pulsed my heart a little bit faster. A great eulogy and metaphor to your love for each other.

      • Hey Rob:)

        It was time for me to show Mark some love. Our vacation was spectacular
        so I used it for some inspiration.
        This came to me at work and I was so excited to get home and write.
        It was a beautiful place. Even went to the fountain of youth museum.

        Thanks for stopping by!
        Stay cool amigo!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. An amazing poem about the love and memories you and Mark share. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      • Hi Damien,

        Mark writes such lovely poems about love and I wanted to give him some back.
        I sent him the draft before I posted and he texted me right back with an OMG! Lol
        He was so thrown off he didn’t tell me about my two little typos that I just fixed. Hahaha

        Have a great evening amigo.
        Thanks for reading:)

    • The darkness has a power of its own at times. Especially when one is alone and thinking of someone that sets them on fire with lust. This is one of those dark writes, but an alluring one to. Well done, crimsin. 🙂

    • Your poetry lives deep within my heart forever. Even if I don’t get a chance to read your work for a few weeks, your words and poetry always amaze me. xo

      • hello dearest Keith I’ve missed you… you do me great honor with your thoughts thank you my friend…I deeply appreciate the love you show me the affection is returned ❤️

    End of a Good Thing

    you're always sad because someone you love has passed seemed like it would be forever but nothing ever last you still remember his muddy shoes he used to leave by the door and how his laugh brightened the room never felt the need to be taken...

    • A tender and compassionate writing, dear Nick! The death of a loved one will always leave scars on the soul. But the memory of the time this couples shared can’t be taken away. Gratitude helps coping with the loss.

      • The good days are the now. It’s important not to take them for granted for they won’t last unfortunately.

        Thanks for the read

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. This one tugged at my old heartstrings, outstanding write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Life can be hard but I always have my support from my wife. I think it would be impossible for me without her. But I’ve seen a few people go through this tragedy.

      Thanks friend. Much appreciated.

    • Life is short and tragedy comes fast.

      Thanks for the read friend

    Nothing's Good Anymore

    walking down the street isn't like it used to be the colors on buildings have dulled everyone's looking like zombies trying to find identity digging up relicsbut the soul is long gone it reflects in the day to day wearing clothes with no personality the mind always...

    • Your words are from wisdom. I’m a bit older than you but I can identify with all you’ve said. Growing up for me saw some great music that was uplifting and fun. I hear todays music and it is so negative. I can see it affecting people around me. So much violence. There were always drugs when I was growing up and friends I know are suffering today from their effects.

      Life is fragile and dark today. We’ve had that in the past but there was never an internet so we weren’t as exposed to all the negativity and social media we have today. A lot of people are leaving it behind. Those zombies walking the streets should consider that to.

      Great write.

      • Social media is a unregulated poison. I don’t mind angry or sad music. Heck it’s the best way to get out my frustrations poetry wise. But when I think of todays music I don’t get it. It is nonsensical. I don’t know if it’s mad, sad, happy. All I hear is lazy garbage. As for when I was younger I did have a good sense of right and wrong. Unfortunately many friends and family didn’t. Drugs and partying… Being careless. It catches up to you if you don’t know how to moderate it.

        If I were to say what this generation feels to me, I think it seems like generation no identity. And that’s sad.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • I completely agree with this write. Everything is so turned up right now.
      I remember, back in the day, I used to be able to walk home after a movie with my friends as a kid.
      As an adult now, I wouldn’t even consider it. For me back then, nighttime had teenage magic in it. It was a time
      to be brave and do something daring, like sneak out to meet friends or go to a party, without getting outed by a post on Facebook. lol
      I enjoyed this, thanks for posting

      • I think the 80s and 90s were a time of over flowing creativity. Also a time of humanity. We could trust and be friendly without worrying about upsetting someone. Also some things we could all agreed with, like earth is round haha.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. I connect with this one my friend, I think anyone who has mileage in this life can relate. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

      • Sure does feel different these days. I know the world changes and when we get older the world gets stranger. I just never thought it would become everything we were told was bad. Like having individuality is wrong now. Having emotions is wrong, having an opinion is wrong, and being creative is seen as unvaluable. It’s just bizarre to me

        Thanks for the read friend

    • I remember when expression was everything. In how we dressed, how we spoke, the music, the art. Seems like its seriously frowned upon now to step outside some vanilla lines and be unique. I’ll never fit normal, so I’m not bothered by the judgment. But the world does feel like its lost its lustre these days.

      • It does seem like there is some line. I can’t see it though. I never been good at limiting myself because of what others think. But image is everything to people these days. Stuff like tiktok is built off of attention starved people. It’s all about doing whatever it takes to get a cheap like. I honestly grew up being told people like that are pathetic. Now it’s seen as an accomplishment.

        Thanks for the read friend

    • Life is an incredible gift we all take for granted.

      Thanks for the read friend.
