    The Rent of My Existence

    The Rent  Whips my back  Leaving deep scars The Rent  Keeps me from sleep It keeps me from sleep    The Rent  Binds my dreams  The Rent  Binds my thoughts  Snuffs my desire  Dousing my fire   The Rent  Wrecks my mind My mind is all I have And I'm going insane  My mind is all I...

    • Thank you for sharing this. A very direct and insightful poem, I really appreciate the “whipping” euphemism for rent. Hit the nail on the head!

      • Thanks for reading.
        I feel we over pay for every breath you take.
        Regards James

    • Over pay is right. You exemplify that very well in this piece.
      Cheers- Brad

    • Oh my goodness, I really like how intense that reading is. I agree that the rent is too high

      • Yes, the rent of living is high. Every thing is rented. The air, the time, the moments of our lives, every second is paid for. And it goes up every day.

        Thanks for reading and listening
        Regards James

    • hello dearest James I know the feeling this is wonderful I feel the pain of it ❤️

      • Every moment costs money and it just rises and rises. I feel it. I see what it does to people.
        It cost a lot to exist.

        Thanks for reading
        Regards James

    A Walk in the Forest

    • The darkness has a power of its own at times. Especially when one is alone and thinking of someone that sets them on fire with lust. This is one of those dark writes, but an alluring one to. Well done, crimsin. 🙂

    She Walks in the Light

    Calico queen

    She rules over rosebush hideouts,rock parapets,and fortified fences. Her silky mixed formstalks the garden at nightwith luminescent emerald eyes. Insatiable and insular,myopic and inscrutable,she rarely revealsher perspective. Confident but cautious,she'll sleuth and slinkshe'll hide,and she'll think,and hardly blink. Mice, she dispenses with.Intruders, she...

    • Aww she sounds like she has everything under control. Nice;))

    • I love this tribute to the Calico Queen–her confidence, elegance, and sly playfulness leap off the page! She reminds me so much of my tuxedo cat with her gorgeous green eyes — my cat is such a girly girl tho, she leaves the hunting to her big brother, she doesn’t want to get dirty lol. But she rules the house with just as much grace and charm.

      • They do have a charm of their own, don’t they. Thanks for the nice comment, Romaj.

        • I have a tuxedo cat, too, but she is 180 degrees from yours. I can’t blame her though; she’s a rescue who lost an eye due to some terrible treatment. It took two years before she would let me touch her. Now she wakes me by standing on my chest in the morning and bits me if I don’t get up right away. But we love her.

          A very nice write, Tim. I really enjoyed this.

          • Thanks very much FlatDaddy. Cats do have a personality of their own. 🙂

    • I have a male orange tabby who has the mentality of a dog. I’ve had cats all my life, at times, multiples. I love adopting when I can, even the older ones that have a tendency to be overlooked. I don’t believe a house is a home without one – a dog or a cat, or whatever you choose. They all need love, and it seems to me your calico queen has taken over the residence, quite nicely!

    • Thanks for the nice comment, Kelly. 🙂

    • Beautifully penned, Tim. Cats are spectacular companions. Mine passed away a few summers back, a year apart. They lived to the age of 20 & 21 respectively. They seen me at my worst and my best. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • They’re nice little companions to have around. Sorry about yours. Thanks for the comment, Damian. 🙂
