    • Carnal Poem with no Multiplication

        (4 verses) You and your immaculate persona, veiled by a silence that no one complains about, a worn-out icon of impossible purity, still sharp as antique glass.     (6 verses) You and the witch that inhabits your heart, cold as fire that doesn't touch the skin, a wound...

      Handful Of Sorrow

      No restraint with a shady disposition Lonely voices estranged from reason Strange words designed in oppositionBurning red inside this wicked season Isolation brings forth an eerie feeling Sinking deeper buried beneath doubtAmongst demons and making a killingHumanity lies bare in spiritual drought This tendency...

      • This is sad. This tendency for being out of control

        Evolves around some tragic altercation

        Endless riches won’t fix an empty soul

        Insert semantics to avoid conversation

        that is so well said Damian

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was my favorite verse as well, especially that last line. Appreciate you, cuz.

      • hello dearest Damian so well written your heartbreak I can feel it ❤️

      • My gratitude to your friend, who inspires you to write this brilliant poem, dear Damian. You found the right words and arranged them very well to express what is going wrong in a society where people cherish material possessions more than the things that really matter in life.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. He will always inspire me, it’s best just to roll with it when that inspiration hits me. Appreciate you.

      • For some reason, the word “sorrow” has always had a poetic nod to me. I don’t know why. It sounds less sad than “sad”, or something. Your poem carries it throughout, too. As if you are aware and ahead of the game of sadness, and are dealing with it. Maturity within the emotion, perhaps. Excellent word build.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. “Sorrow” does have a poetic nod now that you mention it. Appreciate you.

      • This pulses with dark electricity—chaos and isolation crackle between each line.
        The images burn and linger, leaving the reader in that tense, uneasy space where beauty and despair collide.

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

      • Dear D,

        Such a reflective piece. Handful of sorrow. Amazing refrain that stops the noise and helps put the important things in place. Lovely homage to your colleague. Speaks well of you to recognize his gift to you and in return your gift to us. H🌷

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. All the influences in my life I believe were put there for a reason. It’s always appropriate to honor one’s roots and those who helped shape them. Appreciate you.

      • The images of isolation, demons, and “empty riches” function as symptoms of a subjectivity that has lost its center and finds its only echo in its own abyss. There is an almost apocalyptic cadence, but it is treated as a diagnosis—not of an end of the world, but of an end of meaning. The final question does not seek an answer: it exposes the bankruptcy of the very idea of ​​the future. Brilliant, my brother.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s hard to argue with that analysis brother, that’s pretty spot on. Thank you for your wonderful commentary and continued support. Appreciate you.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PG. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That is my favorite stanza as well. Thank you for your wonderful commentary and continued support. Appreciate you.

      • Excellent write. You know sometimes writes just flow out. Other times when it takes over a day it feels like crafting – like putting a puzzle together that takes time. This one reads beautifully.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Ain’t that the truth, it is like piecing a puzzle together. Appreciate you.

      • I think all poets are familiar with sorrow. Perhaps it acts as an impelling force to get out the feelings inside that don’t want to stay hidden. I would love to hear the music behind this. Nice one, Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You could be onto something there. Appreciate you.

      • Unfortunately your words here are prefect fit for now adays. People are killed all over the world, horrible massacres here and there, for what? some “humans” feed on greed, on blood and money… I am a believer of the good-evil battle and it seems we are now at the cerst of this battle. I agree about your title, it’s emotionally poetic. Thank You for keep sharing your heart and kind humantic poetical voice🤍 Peace🕊️

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Light. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Unfortunately it does fit perfectly with what’s going on in present. I’m also a believer in the good verses evil battle as well. Thank you for your commentary and continued support. Appreciate you.

      • “Insert semantics to avoid conversation”

        That line was such a gut punch for me. So often people dodge the subject by deliberately engaging in semantics play. They know exactly what’s going on. They’d just rather turn a blind eye. Pretend it isn’t there. And thus we are in this current box of what-the-fuck trying to figure out how to come out of it in one piece. This is so relevant to the world right now. Shall I toss another log on the fire, my friend?

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That is one of my all time favorite lines as well. As soon as I wrote it down and read it out loud the hair on my arms stood up. lol. I had a feeling you would like that line. Once again your commentary is spot on. Yeah, toss another log on the fire, got a feeling we might be here for a while. Appreciate you.
