    Amour Douloureux

    Tongue lashes flashes, my ears can't take the thunder Static charge heightens the senses and the mind now wonders As I stand in the doorway I feel the pulling forces My pain is all here and now I know...

    • Aww, this is sweet and sad

    • When you care about someone seeing them hurt or sad isn’t easy.
      Sometimes I think we hide it from one another to spare each other. But how else do you know if it’s real.
      Time has a way of giving tests. Life has a way of making us study. Eventually we get it right.

      • Some people stumble around in an entire marriage and never truly know each other. Sometimes it takes the universe to balance wat the flesh can’t, thanks Lady

    • Wow this has such a push and pull to it. You want her to go, yet you can’t seem to let her go.

    • Ugh…talk about a push-pull. I swear sometimes the right word is insidious. They sneak in, slash, run and then slowly insinuate themselves back in…daggers behind their back. Felt this one

      • Hahaha, they say death is like a thief in the night, but why the slow drawn out death

    • It may be a short putt but it’s a giant leap for 21st century poetry sir .. good on ya n all that bloomin jazz .. Neville

    • Brilliantly penned, Thomas. Cooking is art, math, & science all rolled in one. Most of all it’s relaxing in my experience. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I’ve never been good at math. Though I like cooking. Nice poem Thomas. 🙂

    • I used to think that if I “fucked until I couldn’t walk”, I would never get old. Funny the nonsense I believed when I was young. She left and I got old!!! But, I did learn that sanity is overrated. I threw out my Wadsworth and took up with e.e. cummings, Pablo Neruda and went on “The Road” with the beats.

      In reading your poem, Thomas, I am once again reminded how much I love to cook, smell puppies, and skip along the road to joust with windmills!!! Dulcinea del Toboso, I am coming!!! And “To Dream the Impossible Dream”.

    • Oh lordy…I hate math and I struggle with recipes. Maybe the one is causation of the other? I do best when I just randomly toss things in the stew pot. Maybe some of us aren’t meant to be scripted? I love how music wove through this one. Brilliantly executed!

    Dream-Making in the Suburbs

    At night asleep  Alison's dreams are scattered  across the bedroom wall  like grainy cine film    No sound from the  nocturnal soap opera,  just hum of Alison sleeping  against somnolent city rhythm    Amber streetlights  steal through red curtains,  waiting for insomnia cinema to begin    Alison's legs up and apart  reminder, we touch...

    • Insomnia cinema… paper mouths kissing… such poetic gold here… well penned

    • It’s so haunting and beautiful. An exploration of longing and absence, capturing a ghostly presence observing a loved one’s dreams and life continue while he remains unseen, blending surreal imagery with intimacy and loss.
