    • Superb work. Powerful.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Now this one I can see a bit of the dark side. There’s a deeply relatable element to this that transcends subject or time. Depending on the point of being, it fits multiple topics. We write from a perspective and when it’s shared, it develops unexpected layers. I would like to have seen it performed during your 15 minutes of fame. It must have had a tremendous draw to it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I was in a very dark place when I penned this one, I was going through something heavy, and it came out in the words. The one thing I truly love about what we do as writers, is the multiple meanings the reader or listener can take away from our words. We as the writer know what we’re really talking about or going through when we create. The reader doesn’t have those blinders on, they are in fact another point of view, without the writers biases. It is a great little song. It got a response from the crowd. Appreciate you.

    • This makes me feel your pain. The growl had to be wicked on this song.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I was in pain when I penned this, so the words are ripe with it. The growl makes its point known. Appreciate you, cuz.

    .Thunder and Lightning

      Thunder and Lightning    Fateblack clouds over my life's tristesse Monotomy frustration and loneliness Silence hangs oppressive in the air Turning my suffering into despair Nature holds its breath, it's getting dark No bird sings, no wolf howls, no dog barks It's calm as in the beginning...

    • Well that’s simply beautiful.
      💋

    • Beyond being so very literate, this poem simply glows with passion and gratitude. It gives me hope in humanity that such a person as you lives on the same beloved Earth as I. I feel very glad that you have experienced this and that I have at least a remote connection to your very special being, dear Elke. Warmly, Jim

      • Your warm words make me blush, dear Jim! I am just an ordinary person like anyone else. We all belong to the human species. We were born on this planet in different appearance and with different attitudes. We should support one another instead of bringing us down and fighting us. Thanks a lot for your gracious comment!

    • There is a universe of emotion packed into this poem. When connection is made, miles mean nothing. Beautiful, Elke

      • My deepest gratitude for your kind comment, dear Willow! A soul connection doesn’t depend on time or distance.

    • Beautifully penned, Elke. Excellent write with such an honest message my friend. What a lovely tribute. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Lovely Elke. Your poem warms my heart. Beautiful.

    • Brilliant work.

    • Beautiful, Elke. Those flashes of lightning bring visions of delight! Love your craft and word play in this!

      Daniel

    • Chère E.,
      Hope you’ll enjoy your weekend.

      As for your beautiful poem, I’m with Jim M. Your truly felt (feld?) emotions shine through in every sentence!
      A stellar write!
      Keep them coming please!

      I’ll be back tomorrow for another eyeful of beauty.
      Warm regards, Gus

    Wilted

    I have this incurable thirst,that has driven me to my wit’s end.I am watered and snipped,primed and stripped,making myself small to fit in this boxthat you’ve put me in.But how long, until I wilt again?And how long until you’ve...

    Exhaustion

    One moment you are concious.The next half awake.One moment you are walking. The next you are in a lake.It feels like an endless loop.Of fatigue,exhaustion. As I watch the flowers grow.My eyelids slowly begin to fall.Because I spent my whole day...
