    • An awesome write by an awesome writer, if I do say so myself! I’m happy that you decided to post something in here! You’re needed! And this isn’t really a dark write, my dear. I get more of a vibe of searching for a solution to a frustrating moment, yeah? Anyway, I love the message you carried consistently throughout the poem. It moves along fluidly and keeps the reader spellbound to the end. Well done, my love!
      Hey, get some sleep!

      • Well hello big sexy! Haha
        My original write was a bit darker before I decided to change it up. I felt this write was more hopeful for a positive outcome. We all go through our own version of hell before we find heaven. I found mine so I changed the write to reflect my current state of mind. You have a lot to do with that mister! Lots of big changes on the horizon! I feel very blessed at the moment:)
        Love you sweetie.

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. Another excellent write with lots of layers my friend. I concur with Mark, I don’t think it’s a dark write, it does have a mysterious vibe though. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

      • Damien!
        It’s been a minute since I posted, so I’m thrilled you stopped by for a read amigo.
        In the original write I was speaking to my priestess about my demoness.
        Didn’t flow the way I wanted it to so I edited it out.

        Thank you for the comment. It’s appreciated.

    • Hi Gus!

      It’s so wonderful to hear from you. Yes I did! Willow is a rock star so her ode gave me an extra skip in my step. Haha
      I am so honored to have an Amsterdam fan base which would not be possible without you and your talent! No joke. You rock on that guitar amigo!
      As for the write I had not been on for a while and decided to post something. I’ve been busy finishing the first draft of my book! So excited for the future:). Life is a true blessing.
      Thanks for stopping by and for the read.
      Give Amsterdam a huge hello and thank you from me!

      • Hoi A.,
        A very small fan base, just the love of my life and me. And all the people that gave their compliment to you.
        I don’t believe in taking myself too seriously. If we don’t laugh at ourselves, someone else will.

        I try to match the lightness that you put into the ode to your love. And I think that this one’ just as good.
        Warm regards, Gus

    • Well hello Tim!

      Thank you so much for stopping by for a comment. It’s been a while since I came on so thank you.
      How have you been! Still drumming along I hope. Haha
      Yes, I wanted it to have a witch doctor vibe to it.

      My grandmother would always give us blessings if she knew we were having night terrors or having really horrible luck. It was her way of trying to help you. I look back at it now and realized how much power she gave her faith.
      I struggle with that sometimes but other times I’ve realized it’s all you got amigo:)

      Stay cool Tim!,

    • There’s definitely nothing dark about this one, girl. This one rolls out almost spiritually. Whether pagan calling to their priestess or spirit calling to her inner priestess…this hits beautifully. We have entered “spooky girl” season and it’s time to bring out the fun stuff indeed! I’m not much good at spooky, but maybe I can try my hand in honor of the month. 🙌

      • Hi Willow! Thank you so much for your snaps on this!
        My original was a bit darker compared to this post. I enjoyed this one more. lol

        And yes, it’s that time of year. Go for it!
        You can totally slay it!

    See the Sea

    Hang In There

    Dear me,   there are so many things to say... and not enough words to express them... assuming you even have time to process.   I know what evil lurks in your shadows... the monsters haunting your thoughts... stalking your every terrified breath   I can assure you... there are...

    • I needed to read this today willow. This hit the right spot.

    • Awesome, and very relatable.
      Actually, I was telling Del earlier that I want to work on something called “Book Of Scars”. Looks like you beat me to it! Maybe I will, still. But I don’t know if I can not be influenced by your write here. That’s okay!
      I had some “issues” when I was a kid. But, as I got older, I realized that I would indeed outlive the demons. And I have. I am extremely mentally tough, for whatever reasons. Yet I do have a part of me that still feels the good out there. Perhaps that is why I enjoy your writes as much as I do. It’s real and easy to relate to.

      • The Rattle the Bones series is something I felt I needed to do…for me. I’ve shared bits and pieces of my trauma, but I’ve always been careful to not share chronologically. It’s time to “tell my story” from the beginning, in order. I can’t say it was a pleasant experience, writing and sorting it all out, but it’s done. I can’t share them all at once, so it’s gonna take some time to get them out in the atmosphere. I’m glad to hear you’re considering writing your story. I don’t believe we’re strong because of our trauma, I believe we’re still here because of our strength. Not everyone makes it out intact. If there’s one thing humans share unilaterally, it’s the experience of pain. Write your series, I’ll be here for it

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write with lots of layers, but also wisdom and guidance my friend. Using one’s voice to heal instead of lashing out.. Hit me like a bag of sledgehammers with this one. The letter format was a cool choice that fit the vibe and your musical accompaniment is precise. Below is the part that struck a chord inside me. Amazing read/listen as always. Thanks for sharing your story.. Appreciate you, Sis.

      “your voice is your strongest weapon

      I know the urge will be to finally lash out

      don’t

      use it to heal…

      to share how you feel…

      you’re not alone

      trust me…

      I know

      with all my love…

      me”

      • This was a piece that I wrote for a challenge on the old site, write a letter to your younger self. It eventually went on the cover of my book. I think there’s power in knowing how strong your expression is. With power comes responsibility. Use it with compassion and understanding. It’s a very healing way to use one’s power, I think. Thank you, bro. I’m glad this one resonated

    • I love this! Writing letters to ourselves is the most authentic poetry in my opinion.
      Sometimes we write to find others who can relate but sometimes it’s meant for ourselves – to find our own sense of inner peace, self worth, all of it.
      Again, I love this.
      Keep on keeping on chica:)

      • This was written as an entry into a challenge on the old site, to write to our younger self. There was only one thing I really wanted to say, so I stuck to that thought. Talk about crying like a baby when I wrote it. 🙈 I’m glad you enjoyed this one 😊

    What Is Poetry?

    They ask me, what is poetry?Is it just words on paper?Is it memories,written and then saved for later? Poetry is much more than we know.When words in your mind flow,but you can't say them.And so,poetry comes to help. Rhymes and rows...
