    Pill

    Bloodshot eyes stare wildly Just looking for a reasonChemicals come on mildly Within the mystic season Watching stars drift slowlyI cast my gaze inwardWalking amongst the lowlyMy skin feels awkward Panic races through fearWalking across the wireMuted sound going clearAs my pulse spikes...

    • Wow, you gave me bits and pieces of a fairy tale example, Little Red Riding Hood. This is good.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. I never thought of it like that, I had to reread it after reading your comment, I see it as well. Nice interpretation. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Magnificent piece Damian. Great description my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • As a former redhead I had to smile at the redhead reference. The chill you build in this is palpable. But where would we be without our muse? Mine can be a technicolor bitch but I’d be lost without her. The places you take us, my friend…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yes, they are always guiding us along the path of creativity, indeed. Appreciate you.

    • I remember this spotlight. You both were amazing on this.

      • Thanks, Fia. It was a great interview, I can’t really rate them though, because I love them all equally. I learned in the songwriting world, a song is like your own child and you want it to succeed. Well I have a lot of creative children my friend. Between songs, poems, interviews, and music commentary. Like real life some achieve others not so much. I got deep into that metaphor, I did a me. I miss, Duende as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Duende is a marvelous woman. Talented writer. Cool person all around. Great piece Damian.

      • Thanks, Keith. She is all that my friend and more. It was a great interview for sure. Thanks for reading and your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I keep hoping she’ll show up again. Maybe one day. I know a lot of people struggle with the closing of DUP. The transition to new lands can be a challenge. I miss her too, my friend

      • Thanks, Willow. Maybe one day, we can hope my friend. That they are, it’s understandable though, it was their creative home. Yes, I miss her too. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks, Mary. That she is my friend. Hopefully she’ll see it’s posted. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • One of the best poets, and thankfully one I call friend. Her heart is big and forgiving. She sees the good in everyone. I wish I could read more of her, but when her poems pop up it is always special. Now log on! Haha.

      Was nice learning some new things about her. Great interview.

      • Thanks so much reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. She is one of a kind for sure. I miss reading her as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much, Duende. I’m glad they live on in a new home, while still honoring our former home. It was an honor interviewing you my friend, I’m glad you said, Yes. lol. To quote David Lee Roth: “We were laughing like pirates!” Well it was two friends chatting. 😊 I appreciate you as well, Duende.

      Damian

    • This was such an interesting interview. I enjoyed hearing Duende’s explanation about the meaning of her name and how she learned about poetic elements. I didn’t know she was from the Netherlands. You tease out some fascinating material, Damian.

      Duende, it must have been quite frightening to go for five years without any literary inspiration. I can’t imagine it, because you’re a gifted writer and writers are called. I’m so glad you found your muse!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I’ve learned every interview has it’s on flavor, my guests are an important part of the dance. In fact I usually let them lead, it’s their interview I’m happy to follow and add some ingredients into the pot. Duende, is a cool lady, and an incredibly gifted writer. Yeah, she’s from the same place as the Van Halen brothers. She even messaged me a pic from her local paper, showing the a candlelight vigil that fans made after EVH’s death. Appreciate you.

    • Comes off to me as someone fighting depression. Finding away to move forward. Or maybe that’s just me hehe.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m sure depression is one of the crucial ingredients in the mix. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Life is hard because of those rich fucks in Washington. Great piece. Well said!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. They sure as hell don’t help matters. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Fantastic work. Powerful.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Omg, there are so many layers to this one. I read the comments above mine & saw where each came from. This one is a head tilted, brain-teaser. I see isolation, slight inspiration skirting around the edges, darkness peering though & the inevitability of death. I haven’t figured out an improvisation for that one yet. My daughter has decreed I’m not allowed to die though. Not sure that’s gonna workout for her but she says “that’s a you problem, figure it out.” If you know a cheat code on that, I’d be grateful if you’d share, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think you’re pretty much spot on in your analysis, there are multiple elements in there for sure. Usually is in my writes. lol. I don’t know a cheat code, I don’t think there is one. Appreciate you.

    • Seems like a cool person. I can relate a lot to the guy. I am more into music than books and poetry. Also reminds me of all the great poets I came across through the years. How I admired them and miss many of them.

      Great interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s a very cool person, hopefully he might show up someday. That door is always open. Thanks so much for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Great piece Damian. Your a talent my friend. Is Pete aware of this site?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He’s aware, I think his profile is set up here, he’s just taking some time away. Which I understand. I took over two years away from writing. Thanks for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I enjoyed this this Damian. I hope he gets to see this interview.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I hope he sees it too. I miss him a lot. Thanks so much for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I miss his rapid-fire style & quick (sneaky) wit. Wherever he is now, I hope he’s blowing people’s minds & being properly appreciated. Sigh…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I’m sure he is, he is a talent and a gentleman, and it is a sneaky wit. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. I miss him too, he is a talent and a gentleman, I keep hoping he shows up as well. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Wait, you’re saying Pete is missing? Damn. John Lennon was one of the all-time greatest lyricists ever. It’s so cool that Pete comes from Liverpool.

      A lot of guys don’t like taking Propranolol regularly. It’s not a friendly drug for the bedroom, if you get my drift. Works good for hypertension and tachycardia, though.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. Well, not literally. lol. He’s taking a break after the closing of DU. Lennon was an incredible lyricist, the Liverpool part was really cool. He was a gifted writer with a distinct style, and a true gentleman. Unfortunately, they all have some kinda effect. I get your drift though, my bat is still effective when I’m at the plate. lol. Appreciate you.
