    None the Wiser

     The Sun is speaking now in hungry, eldritch tongues... the stars are just right  dust & smoke clearing monolith in the distance, pardon this stumbling  crawling dawn, it breaks my heart & tools daily, yet I slumber soundly  a fool past his...

    • Powerfully penned, Benjamin. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Benjamin I love your style I have chills❤️

    • This is a beautiful compilation of imagery in this form

    • To write a whole poem as haikus/senryus is outstanding! that’s a talent, I remember reading some poets composing few verses as haikus/senryus but not long as yours here, and most of your verses can stand alone as it is. I could feel here how nature is angry and speaking to now world where humans played with its rawness, the old genuine days against the new fake days, at the end the writer seemed to be fed up and welcoming the end if this end means the end of all madness, maybe then a new earth will be born.

    • A life well lived…

      Much respect

    Diary of a Nobody

    Rest in petrol,  flames before cremation  licked her thighs  where no father’s hands  should have been    Driving down the motorway  she must have seen the country  shiver with pale light, swathes of spruce,  obscuring, paths, fields, old stones,  unborn rose quivering for the sun,  she must have seen...    Family albums...

    • a very heavy write no one should bear such a burden it’s too much to bear… my son drank himself to death we are left with a hole in our life knowing he chose death… hugs ❤️

      • sorry to read of your son. addiction is a cruel bitch. life is very fragile, so it’s important to cherish every sunset etc

    • I agree with crimsin this is very heavy. There sadness, grief and confusion left behind because of the suicide will never truly go away.

    • Excellent. truly.
      The topic is always brutal in its finality. How it is written of is where we, as the living, try to reason with the utter chaos that it must be on them. I never, ever understand that quitter mentality. That sounds cruel, calling them quitters, but that is how I see it and deal with it. I have suicides in my family, and it pisses me off.
      Many of us have had horrendous circumstances to deal with, but the act of surviving is what makes us supreme beings.
      Hope is eternally gold. It makes us rich.
      Your write is outstanding in its view, and the crafting of it. I really admire this.

      • Thanks Mark. Appreciated.

        To the outside world, she had it all. Caring husband, beautiful kids and a good career, but who knows what goes on within the skull? She wrote too, and in hindsight, there were the most portentous of clues. But therein lies another problem. So easy to blah, blah and bullshit within a word circus. I totally concur – hope sits beyond even the darkest midnight.
