    • This had me moving. The riff is good, and the music went well with it.

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. You’re an incredible lyricist my friend. Your arrangements always fit your words tightly. Excellent work.. Appreciate you.

    • Oh Lordy! You’ve done it again.
      It’s like you know what melody/hook to use depending on the tone of the lyrics.
      Where to emphasize your message. I listened to this when you posted but didn’t know how to reply.
      I was at a loss of words! That is rare! Hahaha
      Much respect chica!
      Keep killing it!

      • Thank you Adelphina! It’s a lot of trial and error but I warms my heart to hear people appreciate it. I’ll keep at it and hope to keep improving along the way. Have a wonderful day!

    • Thank you! ❤️

    • You’re a beast at this thing Lady, to freaking Tight

    • This i awesome. I somehow talked Fia into getting a Spoken Word group going (actually, I kind of bamboozled her into it). HER wants to join and she suggested we get Willow and you as well. After listening to this, I feel really out of my league. I’m a lifelong entertainer, but mostly in theater. When I started writing for performance, I had no music, just me, so that’s what I’ve been doing. But you would bring some real class to the group, and if we do this right, we can build something outstanding for all of us. Interested?

    • Hey, what happened to the audio? I sent a link to this page to a friend and he told me no song was here, so I came back — and it’s gone! Please put it back.

      • Apparently because of an update on the site, all audio on all posts got removed sadly. I hope I have time tomorrow to upload the audio again on all my songs.

        In the meantime you can listen to the songs on my YouTube channel if you’d like: youtube.com/@Drieks

        • That I would like. So tell me, would you like to join the Spoken Word Group? You would be a very welcome member, and I think we can all benefit from each other.

    You can't know onewithout knowing the other.No cold without warm.No dark without light.No skinny without fat.No wet without dry.No ugly without pretty.No big without small.Nature doesn't make opposites.It just iswhole and unbroken.The mountain doesn’t name itself tall,the tide doesn’t...

    • It seems that we need them both to see each other’s point of view.

    • Thanks for your considered comment.
      I only put the political line in to highlight the point that one exists because of the other.
      My politics are on the left because that’s where I see less selfishness but in truth there is only a bees dick between most political parties.
      Business runs the show.

      And on a whim.
      I think I like you 😜

    Obsession

    Obsession     My life stings with your lost shadow, it used to drape across my heart. Unworthy of a cool drink and the feel of spring water I relent to your ever probing kiss pulling me into deeper darkness. Oh, my blood thirsty princess don’t you know I was...

    • I remember this song well. Tremendous work. You nailed it.

    • She was “tasty”…er… perhaps I should have kept that to myself. ;0) In the end, though, she was the one who consumed me. Isn’t this the way all ‘obsessions’ end?!!

      Mary, searching for and posting this older poem, was worth getting the comment you left. I’m glad you “loved everything about it.”
