    Let Me Kiss You

    The loneliness of lips  as Hollywood scripts unread,  tells mother mouth  to only speak in whispers    Within and without  each biography has a margin,  but fuck protocol  tonight the moon is slut coloured red  sensual are the bed sheet library    Up and over, around and below  what side of the...

    • The moon is slut colored red. Yes!!! Love this

    • hello dearest poet you make me wonder who you are I think you know me from DU…this is so full of hunger and passion ❤️ p.s there were only a few that really impressed me but clearly you are one…

    • I like how the poem moves beautifully from quiet whispers to a bold, sensual crescendo. The shift from the quiet “loneliness of lips” to the sudden, overwhelming urgency of the final lines is brilliant. I never would have thought to describe the moon as “slut coloured red” -that vivid, daring language perfectly captures the poem’s alive energy.

    • i love how you interpret my tatty words. you just may have inspired me to write something called ‘slut’. that word carries such negative connotations, but within the language lexicon, it is a universal desire scream. thank you romaj.

    Art, Humanity & Friendship

      Art, Humanity And Friendship   A friend once said to me her writings - poems, short stories; even how she dips herself in a variety of hues, then throws herself on a canvas, is more or less her memoir. Snips of her life taken, compiled, then thrown into the air for all...

    • Art to me is polished work and imagination in the same brushstroke. The best art remains for generations. It effects people in a way they can see something in life that grabs them and holds them. This includes writing as well.

      Nice one ~Relic~

      • Hi Relic/Tim (I am assuming from WC), thank you for your view on art. Yes, art should grab and hold (if done well) or as Ntozake Shange once said, “poetry should make you feel”. I think this is true for all forms of artistic endeavors.

        Thanks for your comment Relic and it’s nice to see you here at the SR.
        -Curt

    • You’re welcome, Curt (Redzone). And yes, It’s me. 🙂

    • Hi Fia, Relic is Tim’s pen name. He is one of the poets who has come here to SR from Writers Cafe. My real name is Curtis (Curt) and my pen name is redzone. Sorry if I have created any confusion.

      Yes, I think we write for ourselves (be ourselves) because art comes from within us, from our imaginations or from our lives. But I also think it’s our way of communicating to others. We bare ourselves to the world when we post or get a book published or in the many other ways that our poems are seen by other people. Yes, poems are “vivid” and should be. They should grab us, hold us tight and make us feel, and see the world though other’s eyes. I used to paint, but haven’t done so for many years now. I think about picking up the brushes every so often.

      Anyway, thank you Fia for sharing your views on art. And thank you for your visit to this poem, it’s much appreciated.
      -Curt

    • Art is a place for me where I can become more myself. Vivid in each pen stroke. Whether its poetry or stories. ( I used to draw, but that ship has sailed.) Nice piece, Redzone. Sorry for the confusion

    • Powerfully penned, Curt. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Thank you, Damian. And I appreciate your visit and comment. Both are muchly welcomed

    A Dream Of Light and Unlocking

    In the nighta half-light came -bearing offerings:some kissed by fire,others raw,still waiting for flame.She placed them before meand slipped awayinto another chamber.The door swallowed her -but when I touched itthe lock surrendered.The scene dissolved.Young ones appeared,long shadowed by confusion.We...

    • Yikes. The ambivalence of this is where good literature should lead one. Your typing fingers fall as effortlessly as snow onto the keyboard.

      • Thank you so much, Ghosteen. I’m glad the poem gave you that sense of ambivalence; that’s exactly what I was hoping to convey. You have a beautiful way with words, and I truly appreciate your insight.

    • A surrealistic journey of assurance and faith. I like it.

      • Thank you, Tim. I can’t think of a better way to put it. “A surrealistic journey of assurance and faith” truly captures the feeling I had when I wrote it. I’m glad that came through.

    • hello dearest poet I love the message you received it is beautifully written ❤️

      • Dearest Crimsin,

        Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say. I do feel the message in this dream so strongly. It brought a lot of comfort, especially since it touched on something that had been troubling me for a while.

        ​It’s a powerful feeling to know there’s a force or even a divine intervention that will be our advocate, even if we’re not there to witness it.

    • Beautifully penned, Roma. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you so much, Damian. I really appreciate you taking the time to read it and for your kind words. It means a lot.

    • Sweet Sisters

    • Thank you so much, Jim. “Sweet Sisters” means everything, as the poem is indeed rooted in the unseen bonds and protective love between us.

      I’m truly happy to hear it resonates with so many readers. I think at its core, the message of trusting your inner-light is something we all need to carry. I appreciate your kind words!

    • Trippy, peaceful, cosmic. A magical journey here. Nicely executed.

      • ​I appreciate that! This poem began as a strange, trippy dream that stuck with me, so I’m glad it translated into a magical journey for you. It was a release to write it, and I ultimately found meaning and comfort in it -a message about trusting our inner-light and finding peace.
