      • So well done. True poetic visions. This is a great example of why I visit poetry sites. For gems like this. You are a skilled seer of poetry.

      The Mahogany Door

      The shore hummed with strangers,voices rippling like wind across sand,though I did not know why I had come.The sea called to me,its familiar pull thrumming in my chest.I slipped beneath the surface,cold silk folding around my skin.A great white...

      • Your poetry always caresses the senses with a surrealistic hug. Nice one. 🙂

        • Relic, is this you? Hi. I remember your name is Tim. It’s been so long. You’re one of the first poets I met when I joined WC. Tim, thank you for your kind words. Coming from you, that means a lot, as your own work is masterful at creating those sensory dreamscapes.

      • Oh, this is good!

      • Blimey Roma, I lie less than a mile from the sea and yet these words resonate louder than the incoming midnight tide. You are a mistress of the moon and sea – always leave that mahogany door open.

        • Thank you so much! “Mistress of the Moon and Sea” is high praise -I think I’ll claim that title! I also still love your description of the blood moon as “slut red.” I’m truly glad the words resonated louder than your midnight tide. And I promise, I’ll leave that mahogany door open for you.

      • Beautifully penned, Roma. Your imagery is so precise it immediately grabs my attention. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

        • Thank you so much, Damian. I truly appreciate your kind words. I appreciate you too.

      • ‘Then I awoke,
        carrying the weight of water,
        of memory,
        of starlight,

        bridging the world of the living
        with the world I had entered.’

        Your words have a sadness from core to display; I had to read them three times because at the first try I sighed, had to catch my breath; tragedy seemed to come from somewhere far, far out of reach. Such emotional words, could be real, true.

      • Hi emmagreen. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response. 🌙 Your words mean a lot…I wrote this piece with that very sense of distance and weight in mind, like grief and memory carried from another realm. I’m touched it resonated with you.
