    Suspect Logic

    Looking back not so long agoOn the outskirts of losing controlGuilt is a cancer moving slowWhile fear bleeds a fractured soul When did it all go off the rails?That first hint of random changeRevealing a devil in the detailsSuspect logic...

    • Oof…i felt this one like a fist in the gut. Guilt truly is like cancer…eats you up. And fear will wear you down. And they tag team far too well. The amazing thing about your late night musing is that it’s not directed. You let it take the wheel…& where it takes the reader is anyone’s guess. But we’re all buckled in for a fantastic ride, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. They are a powerful tag team for sure. I try not to alter lines, other than maybe shaving a word here and there for better flow. But for the most part I don’t have a preconceived notion of what I’m writing about. That’s only on poetry though, proses I usually have an idea of what story I’m telling. The tangents I go on are improvised though. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Damian, I gave up living with guilt long ago. I surrendered it, to a force much greater than I.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I too have surrendered a lot of mine as well, to a greater force as well. Except for a very deep and complicated guilt over a situation, and it’s a work in progress at the moment. Appreciate you.

    • Life is a ride with different turns. Great ink

    • Guilt sucks. Practice in becoming a sociopath. It will erase all those guilty feelings. Great write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That it might, but I don’t know if I’d like myself anymore. Although if I was a sociopath I probably wouldn’t care, would I? No, it’s a hard no. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Maybe so, Adira,

      But, not quite as beautiful as You for sharing this rather lovely homage to romantic fate, with your ohhh-so warmly kindred spirit.

      What would you want that you cannot have, right now?

    • How did I miss this? First, I love the layout of it. Second, my favorite thing that you started out with is the mind. I was all on board. Third, you went and laid down brick after brick of gems. I enjoyed this piece. Bravo ;))

    • Ahhh, Adira🍷

    • Awww, Fia 🤗

      That you love anything about my humble poetic efforts is blissfully unexpected, but I’m keeping every fragrant word. ; )
      There’s nothing more preciously-inspiring than a lady-poet’s gracious praise to caress a hopeful bard’s grateful heart.

      Thank you, Fia, ever-so warmly! ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • Wow! Wow! Wow!
      This is stunning! So fresh, unique, and enchanting. The imagery is so vivid and palpable. I’m captivated from start to finish… a magnificent ending. Powerful and seductive. An all-inclusive masterpiece.
