    With rope in handAnd a smile on his facePreparing for the journeyTo leave this placeFrom a tree branchA knot carefully tiedWith hope and anticipationOf his impending suicideHe placed the nooseAround his own neckNothing seemed to phase himThis surreal reality...

    • I often wonder about those who comit suicide,if at the point of no return,they reconsider their options.
      Well written piece about a subject that needs much more open discussion.
      🙏

      • Thank you..and thats a great question..I think some if not most might do..maybe there’s that brief moment of reflection or introspection where you realize suicide wasnt the solution but its not reversible..its a very dynamic and complicated matter for sure..and more discussion is def needed. Its a sad and tragic part of life that many ppl(family and friends)have dealt with..a haunting experience for loved ones for sure..thank you for commenting..I appreciate it

    • Perhaps in his contrition he realized a schmaltzy and powerful truth — “you live once then you’re dead forever”. I cannot recall where I read it but that line has helped me stay around for 8 years. The simple things… you know? Thank you for sharing this incredible write!

      • Thank you for sharing that powerful line..its so true and straight to the point..it puts life in perspective and teaches us life is valuable..and that time is the most precious commodity and we shouldn’t take it for granted..cherish every day..I appreciate your comment and glad you liked

    • I don’t remember this one? It’s awesome! I like the liberation that it implies, because creative writing is indeed a form of freedom. This is a very strong write, Del. I can see why you love it so. As do I!
      I’m so happy to see you posting in here. As some others are as well, I’m sure!
      Smooch!

    • Yeah, I think I posted it on DUP before you were there. It was one of those writes that wrote itself.
      I had the title. Just needed to write it. Thanks for you snaps on this write:)
      You are wonderful:). Smooch!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. Excellent write, again your imagery is crisp and precise. Appreciate you.

    • Hey Damian! Thank you. I’m trying to be online more. It’s been a busy year.
      Thank you for stopping by. It is appreciated!

    • I love how this poem blends cosmic imagery with the deeply personal act of creation. The idea of writing with stars, leaving luminous fingerprints on an infinite slate, beautifully captures the timelessness and universality of poetry. It feels both expansive and grounded, as if the cosmos and the earth are woven together through the poet’s words.

    • Sometimes when I listen to music it gives me images and I was listening to The Black Keys the song was called Little Black Submarines. It inspired everything for this write!

      Thank you for such a wonderful comment

    Even though sad:«That story was another encryption of light.»I wrote it down.

    • “Eyelids like asteroids hailing down unto the earth.” Fantastic!

    • I get almost the image of the female Frankenstein with this piece. I like it.

    • This is an intense write. Lots of raw emotion and great metaphors.
      It’s hard to comment on writes like these because of the subject matter.
      Brave write

    • Oh goddess, this feels so agonizingly familiar. That kind of damage leaves us so afraid to trust the good moments, the sweet touches, the gentle words. Because those things were once used as weapons. This bleeds vulnerability and honesty all over the page. You are heard…
