    It's Already Here

    I write to express my emotions to let pain out let joy in  if I find a place to publish  I expect good and bad reviews   A good review and my ego dances A bad review and it gets the blues Sometimes I write with a...

    • I hope I never have to rely on AI to write for me. Sometimes I’ll use a proofreader to correct spelling and punctuation but that’s it. The human element is what makes poetry real. The compassion, the anger, the love, the empathy, and even the laughter are all something that made men and women write poems in the first place.

      The future is scary being we won’t know what’s real and what isn’t.

    Upon My Death…

    Upon my death…   I will ascend one foot to heaven and stubbornly descend one to Hell. I care not what God has to say! I care what death will mean for my life’s work, not my soul.   Upon my death…   I will be...

    • hello dearest Daniel this is really good…darkness and light I’m afraid are one… in the lowest depths of hell God is there also not as religion preaches but there none the less 💕

      • Love your comments, Brenda. Darkness and light coexist, indeed. Religion is so fun to play with creatively! Thank you!

      • Thanks as always, Damian! Heavy fucking write and powerful, indeed! I was once told by a wise man, also a writer, who said to me, “Whatever it is you write down, make it goddamn prophetic!” I’ve always kept that in mind over the years and the more I remember it, the better my writing becomes. True story…

    Bad Breakup

    I knew it was over… the day your hand lay lifeless in mine. That sudden goodbye and that iciness you shared. Glares… not beautiful gazes. Sharing hands with a corpse then made it a wintry day. It was a shimmering...

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. Can feel the weight of this write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Your poem is so beautiful and sad, Daniel!
      ‘Sharing hands with a corpse’. This speaks volumes, and cuts like a knife. As always, your work is beautifully written with a masterful use of imagery, brilliant!

      • Ja, ich schreibe wunderschön mit einer meisterhaften Verwendung von Bildern, Elke. Ich denke gerne, dass meine Arbeit brillant ist, aber ich weiß noch nicht, ob ich ein Meisterautor bin. Nächstes Jahr werde ich einen fertigen Roman haben und ich bin nervös. Hahahaha!

    My Gothic Candle Flame

    That teardrop shape of my light! A glow with many shadows cast. The vaulted heavens above catch the long thread of smoke rising when my candle flame’s pinched. My smoke pools and condenses as my blackened wick cools. The teary streams of wax dry and my tears...
