We are hardest when judging ourselves not even realizing we don’t deserve it for even the father forgives. Tight

hello beautiful Honoria I deeply understand this sentiment so beautifully written hugs ❤️

Beautifully penned, H. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

The return of H! Really good to see you scribbling again. Grief is such a bitch – sweeps in like an unexpected mist on a summer morning. You succinctly capture the heart’s burst. Rob (or Bobski to those pesky Londoners)

Well, here’s to hoping this isn’t autobiographical.
And if it is, here’s to hope and new days 🌼

Hi H!

Aww I’m so sorry for everything you have been struggling with lately. Loss and change are emotionally exhausting.
It gives me hope that you are writing it out though. Facing it head on because what else are we to do, right?
Just remember there is light at the end of the tunnel chica. Hang in there:)
And did I mention I’m so happy to see you posting!
I can’t wait to call Mark and tell I read your post!

Sigh…
This is less a poem and more a shouting (inside) from frustration. This is how you released it.
Not in vain, dearest H. We feel the words and sense the wisps of grief.
I’m glad that you are here, posting, in any capacity.

A beautiful piece.
Full of warmth.
Regards
James

I felt this.

Dear AA,

Thank you for your kind comment. Although if you’re feeling this you recognize the ache of loss and for that I’m very sorry. I really appreciate your read and visit, thank you. H🌷

This is heart touchingly beautiful, dear Honoria. I feel your loss and your strength as well! Pouring your heart on the paper is a wonderful and helpful way to cope with pain keep it up, beautiful poetess!

“A new year and still, everything feels mournfully adrift.” I lost my brother a few months ago, and this really hit a nerve for me. It’s as beautiful a piece as I’ve have ever read…or ever will. Thank you for touching my soul.

Dear KS,

I’m so very sorry for the loss of your brother. It’s such an interesting transition trying to navigate life after loss. It feels surreal as though I’m in an alternate universe, and one I’m not liking. Your comment has honored me profoundly and I thank you for reading and sharing your kindness. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and thank you very much once more for your lovely comment. H🌷

Honoria this is so heartfelt, thank you for sharing.

Hello Honoria, grief is so difficult and quite often the time that passes seems to linger.

Miss you
❤️ jackie

Dear J,

A very insightful observation, and sadly with no expiration date. I’m so glad to see you tonight. I hope you’ve been well. Still feels odd without DU but your visit has cheered me considerably. H xx🌷

Beautifully penned, Mark. A very passionate write my friend with excellent execution. Nicely done. Happy Holidays to you and Adel. Appreciate you.

Damian

This is beautiful.

Powerful work, my friend.

From the title to the stanzas within, this is a gorgeous and tender declaration Mark. No thrills, no spills – just the soft thrum of union. Rob

So touching and sweet.

Dear S,

Well, you’ve still got it I see. I was riveted from start to finish as per. For me, there’s always a double story of the characters you write and the ones I superimpose over them because your writing is so alive and energetic. Wonderful write. H🌷

Tremendous imagery. You paint this scene well.

I love the painting with eyelashes! I might have to steal that!
Being with you is home to me.
Everything is relaxed and I was comfortable in my own skin or my bath robe. Lol

This write reminds me of our time together. 10 whole days. It went by too fast but I cherished every second.
I remember you bringing up a ballerina vibe for one of your writes. You did her justice with this. Very eloquent with just the right amount of angst. Thank you for posting this baby, gave me a smile while reading:)
Love you and sorry it took me forever to comment! It’s been a crazy month at work and off as you know.
Call ya later this evening:)

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Your words hit with the might of a sledgehammer my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

Damian

Powerful work. Vivid and sharp.

This shows your talent as a writer and very good.

hello dearest poet this was from a time in my life I was taking about twenty sleeping pills at a time not realizing that could kill me as I was writing this I thought I would never kill myself intentionally but then I remembered my behavior and how a lot of famous people who have died unitentionally it was sobering thank you for being thoughtful ❤️

you are rude and thoughtless…

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Chère C.,
You hit hard.
And every blow a hit.
Don’t know which source you are getting from.
Seems like I’ll never tire of it.
Warm regards, Gus

There is a way you have of taking us inside, where we see and feel what you’re expressing. Not to the depth you do, I’m sure, but this one is potent. Beautifully aching. I can feel the pressure of the words trying to escape the heart, the chest 🧡

Well now, this is superb. Probably one of my favs of yours now. I’m interested in what inspired it. It has a great deal of weight being shifted from line to line, as if you can’t settle it in one spot. A heaviness lingering, perhaps.
Well done, Crims.
