    • The atrocities of war felt by everyone

    • Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write about the horrors of war my friend. The casualties are not just the ones who lose their life in battle. It’s returning soldiers and their families that carry those scars as well. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks for reading. Generations of damaged people. War is not what people want. Presidents and premiers choose it for us.
        Regards
        James

    • I can speak from experience. Many times the civilians are truly the major suffering. They didn’t sign up for any of it. I’ve seen enough back in my days that I learned what a crock of shit most of it really is. Politicians and profits and land grabs.
      Great write, Knight. You don’t have to be a Veteran (or active military) to understand the plight of so many.
      Well spoken.

    • Thanks for reading and comenting. Only billionaires and politician win wars. Everyone else looses.

      Regards

    Where One Begins

    Come close,   beneath your nearness and the warmth of my skin, until neither of us knows where one begins.   Your mouth finds my neck, then pauses there, a whisper of heat caught softly in air.   I feel your restraint before I feel your hand, the softest tension I can barely withstand.   It...

    • ooo… this is good … very sensual and intense

      • Thank you, Sam. I’m glad the sensuality and intensity came through. Sometimes a little mystery makes the journey all the more interesting. 😉

    • Chère G.,
      Come close, a better and more inviting intro has not be written so far.
      What a beauty you’ve made.

      And the final four sentences are the cherry on the cake.
      Love it to bits!
      Warm regards, Gus

    • Gus, what a lovely thing to say. I’m so glad the opening drew you in, and the ending stayed with you. Thank you for reading so thoughtfully and for your wonderfully warm words. 🙂

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, James. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Sometimes intense feelings guide the poem along in my experience. Appreciate you.

    • A bit towards the apocalypse in its foretelling, yeah? I also get a “War Pigs” vibe as well (Black Sabbath).
      Excellent rhyme scheme as well. Great write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I can see the “War Pigs” vibe too. Sabbath has always been an influence in my creative efforts. Appreciate you.

    • Wow, one more of your excellent, intense and thought provoking right things, dear Damien! Especially the last verse speaks to me a lot. World most people consider God as all seeing eye that is watching and judging us, all sing that UI energy is just experiencing itself, manifested and the form of a human being. So it is entirely up to us what to do with our lives. Personally, I think it is best to listen to our heart and to our intuition. Why won’t lead us a stray.

    • This is kinda where my mind has been lately. I recently took a lower paying, more physically demanding job just to access these very feelings. I just wanted feel what real living is like again. You’ll only get what you give, and many of us have to give a lot more just to get a little, but these are the conditions that shape the poet. Keep trying, and keep in mind that more people see you than you realize! Life is hard fkn work! But I know you know this, because you are a poet!!

    • Thankfully you, we all, have access to let it all out in writing. That is our strongest voice. God knows that creative writing really helped me become who I am. I still have a vocal glitch, that hits me whenever it wants, but it isn’t a handicap. I have learned to be confident regardless. Writing gives us a super power. You will win the battles Fia.
      Awesome write.

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with many deep layers my friend. This one has a musing vibe while turbulence is stirring beneath the surface. I concur with Mark. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.
