    • hello dearest Joe this is so beautifully wistful it reads as a melondious spell 💕

    • I agree with the comments above. This is tender and wistful. A very enjoyable read for me tonight.

      • Thanks for saying so. I’m afraid I was birthed with a love for romanticism, esoterica, and nature – and the inability to fully capture what I want to say about either. Still, it doesn’t hurt to try.

    • Love heals, love consumes, and sometimes breaks all we knew. 🌼

    • Not sure how to edit a submission, but somehow, in internet madness, the pen ultimatum stanza was omitted. As if anyone gives a fuck!

    • This sounds like the pain he felt was caused by her not caring. You cared more so you wrote about it. Nicly penned.

    • It’s good to read your material again. Some writers whack me upside the head with their weighty words. And I don’t mind a bit. It makes me think. It makes me curious. That’s the best drug to me: Curiosity. So thank you for feeding us this drug of yours.

    • Thank you Fia. In a nutshell, your interpretation is correct

      Cheers Mark. I miss ‘chatting’ to the likes of Gary and your good self. For some reason (prob my IT incompetence) I can’t expand my messages on here. I’ll send my email.
