      why tell

      College first and competitive, too many conquests tried me: I gave little but smiled a lot!  Clothes a la charity shop became popular, its volunteers who ran them admired the flat-breasted touch of my body! That meant I had...

      • Emma, this is a well narrated story of the history of your writer’s life where college took you. This glimpse into the past was quite stimulating to read. I loved how the life events unfolded and reading this story that felt like an entry for a memoir.

      • Many thanks, you found the thread running through time and kindly accepted the truth of my words. There is a future to come but with pauses for self reflection. More than that, I don’t know yet! Patience or adventure!?

      • I just found this… Oh! You write, such indigo between lines.

      • weirdly, this reminds me of someone that i used to love, from afar.

      The action takes place in a bathroom. The actor, an average looking man or woman wearing casual contemporary clothing, will be addressed from this point as ACTOR. Dependent upon the size of the stage and the budget, another room...

      • I can see why there is silence and then applause. It is poetic the way she decided to leave this earth the moment she arrived, but still, that is something. I like sending it to the senator, showing what happens to people with budget cuts to needed medications and research for a cure.

        • Thank you, Fia. It was a trip performing this, especially at the end. The first time I did it the crowd just sat there, silent. I thought, oh, fuck! I guess I’ll never do this one again. Then someone started to clap, then another, then everyone was applauding — but not very loud. And I understood.But that was a hellofa time, very scary, especially for the people who had been infected. A sure death penalty, very slowly.

      • I read this late last night and had to log off before I commented.
        This is intense. For as dark as it is it has a lot of intimacy.
        Through you the audience got to know her and in turn care about her.
        Bravo!👏

        • Thank you. I do appreciate the comment. I was in the middle of writing a message to you about “Pretty Eyes” when I got your notification.

      • A bit macabre, here. Quite appropriate for this time of year. Poe might be jealous. Very good writing, I’d say.

      Neruda's Lips

      Neruda’s Lips   I have flayed your body with my tongue of fire, suckled your youthful breasts with lust and desire, eaten your musky whispers with the deadliest of sins, and all the common words of my peasant’s pen.   You are the poetry of my land, the dark earth...

      • This poem beautifully channels Neruda’s sensual spirit. The union of passion, earth, and language. The imagery feels both intimate and elemental, echoing the way Neruda made love and nature inseparable.

        It’s a stirring tribute that captures his essence…beautifully penned.

        • Neruda’s love sonnets are some of the best poetry ever written (IMHO). And yes, exactly, love and nature are inseparable, flowing in and around each other. Thank you, RomaJ for your lovely and muchly appreciated comment and visit. You are always welcome to walk through my poetry.

      • This has so much passion in this. I agree with Romaj beautifully penned.

      • Damn!
        Excellent! You had me at “flayed”. What a vivid, well placed word.

        • I love that word (flayed). It felt and sounded right to use it in this poem. Thanks for your observation and for the fine comment.

      • You turned the poem into something else with this, “and all the common words of my peasant’s pen.” Following the next verse, IF you didn’t brilliantly did this, it would have been just a strong sensual poem, but with how amazingly You brought a higher level with the last two line of verse one, then the gorgeous verse two, is what makes the poem very special to me, exploring and expressing a deeper connection. I believe Pablo would admire this🤍

        • One of the things I love about Neruda’s poetry is his use of everyday words. With them, he word paints images, metaphors and a feeling of LIFE that exists and surrounds us with HOPE.

          Light, thank you so much for your insight and understanding of what I wanted (no, needed) to express. If Neruda were still alive, I think I would be tempted to send this poem to him.

      • It was/is my pleasure to “whisper” and a big Thank You to the Roman Goddess, daughter of Cupid and Psyche. It’s not often I get a comment from royalty. Not sure I am worthy, but it is appreciated muchly.

      • You are most welcome my friend🌸 and consider your poem sent, his soul is still out there, just call Him 😊

      • Yes, please post it. I would love to read what, how you see Neruda’s love sonnets.
