    Insidious

    I'm willing to sacrifice myself to prove the truth of my words of me   are you willing to do the same?   lies... in time... will be uncovered and everyone will see   the scuttling ear to ear insidiously whispering it will be seen   I have never changed   eventually they'll know and perhaps remember but it will...

    • Willow I was a target of gossip. A lie was told and the person who started it turn beet red when I confronted her with the person who she accused me of talking about. This poem is a slammer.

      • I try my best to not engage in that sort of interactions. If someone says something negative about someone else, I immediately wonder what they’re saying about me when I’m not there. I don’t know what they gain by it. Once the truth comes out, they look even worse. But they never seem to figure that out until it’s too late. Thank you, Fia

    • The person who whispered lies about me was a bully. Thought they’d always get their way because the mask they wore for everyone else was so attractive. That’s pretty much what I see when I look at the current completely corrupt regime. You know they’re lying because their lips are moving. But the fanatics still follow their premier bully like the blind sycophants they are. When the blinders fall, it’s gonna get ugly. We might just need a bigger bonfire, my friend

    • It’s how you sort the real from the face front friends, unfortunately. I lost a lot of people I thought knew me for me because they listened to lies. In the end, I didn’t need that kind of support. It wasn’t real. I learned a lot from the experience though. Thank you, Elke

    • Retrospect-ivision is the perfect view. Seems like there’s always going to be somebody who has to test the boundaries and write a new reality, one that favors them. That’s our world these days.

  • Friends, I want to share with you that I have channels on Odysee https://odysee.com/@ignatov:c

  • Nativity of Loss
    (I will always love you, my heart.)

    I read a poem that evoked a tear
    a single, trembling drop
    that spun me backward,
    into shadows of what was
    and the ever-present numbness
    of could-have-beens.

    25 days to go…
    The air tastes different now,
    heavier with memory,
    as the earth tilts toward the same cold light
    year a…Read More

    • A single trembling drop. that imagery is felt

      • Thank you…this really was a pouring out… a hard write for me.

      • Actually, two came out that day. and lots of tears… but something I needed to write. It’s been years, but some Christmases I’m a bit indifferent/melancholy… I will post the other as well.

  • Hello Me
    It has been a while
    You reached a plateau
    traveling many miles

    What you failed to do
    Is see what is occurring around you

    Or you’re choosing not
    Not to see
    Not to hear
    Not to “oh my” share??

    Me this can not be
    Your voice and thoughts need..need..

    To be set free
    Free from the confines
    Of societies vines…Read More

    • I feel you on this lovely Fia I used to clam up like that when my kooky thoughts would come but I can’t hold them anymore…be yourself lady we will love you ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write my friend. It feels like inner dialogue to me, you and your subconscious kinda vibe. Nicely done as always. I can relate.. Appreciate you, Cuz.

    • These conversations with self are some of the best. I enjoyed the way this one wove the reader into it

      • Thank you willow. Yeah, sometimes sitting and just think things through of what happened or what should happen. Helps.

    • This is excellent. It had some rhyme and rhythm.
      Nothing felt forced at all.
      Great stream of consciousness amiga:)

    • Sometimes its necessary to pause, reflect and take inventory. I like the honesty because we do tend to lose sight for a while until we become more aware of ourselves.
      Nicely done.
