Intriguing…

I like the contrast you used in some verses. Dark thoughts indeed. Well done, Fia!

Powerfully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! Amazing write my friend, with dark vibes very present. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thank you, Adira;))

Fantatic!

G’Mornin’, Fia 🌤️

Good title, and what a great lead-in with V1’s frustrating contradictions setting the mood for what’s to come (L2, make it “you’re” sad).
Boy howdy! You sure know how to express the angst so many of us have had to endure and overcome; yet, it seems some never do … sadly so.

You’re such a creative writer, Ria: I admire your keen ability to weave vivid imagery and emotion throughout every verse and in the use of spot-on rhymes, timely line-breaks, and smooth flow.
Excellent wrap-up verse, too. For rhyme’s sake with “despair,” consider using “there” rather than “here” (just a thought).

“Wake, wake from this despair! (great poe-esque touch)
It is me you’re talking to …
no one else is there.”

Fia, you’re such a joy to read and share with. 🌈
Thank you ever-so warmly! ⁓ Richard🖌

Very captivating.

Thank you, Steven;))

Thanks, Mary. Thanks for following this along. I may leave it alone for a while. It’s not a bad stopping point, though ‘crazy’ never ends.

Boldly penned, Meg. Phenomenal work my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

very hot. Superb.

Well, Dear Meg….👏🌺💛🌺💖🌺💙🌺🍷🏆

I’m sooo glad you’ve finally woke-up and realized you’d had enough of Dan’s flagrant utilization and disrespect of your deliciously lovely self … though, I’m not forgetting, either, how rapturously, shamefully horny you were in pursuing his sensational manly attributes … annnd, HOW – ohhh-MY!!!!

There’s absolutely no doubting your alluring skill with a pen in captivating and holding your lucky readers’ every fibers’ enchanted attention … and, no telling what you had us, er – all them, doing outside the screen, either.

“Brillianty perfect” is the permanently embossed tag I’ve molded into your sultry frame, from this day forth. Your “Slut Wife Confessions” series I’ll ever remember as one of those rare events that deeply and completely touched each and every aspect of my nature and senses, as a writer and a man.

Thank you, Darling Authoress, for making of me a hopelessly incurable fan and you an idol!
Endless miles of flirty smiles and shameless kisses! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌

Damian

You’ve gotta give yourself more credit, Damian.
The last lines indeed suppressed my own voracious appetite. The last stanza is my favorite.
Nice spill my friend. xx

That’s razor-sharp and sinuous—like a poem with fangs. The alliteration of “verbal viper” and “voracious appetite” creates a rhythmic coil of menace and desire, as if the speaker’s confronting a charmer who cloaks cunning beneath sweetness. The image of truth dangling just out of reach—“suspending the obvious”—gives this a wicked elegance.

Your writing has only improved with time, Damian. Your struggle with the ending paid off in a victorious way.

Great poem/

Fia very sorry for your ailment. But you sure wrote a fantastic poem about it. Digs deep and you really made it an engaging read. Hope this comment finds you feeling better.

Sickness is sometimes like love. You don’t know if your coming or going.

Im reminded of the old adage…if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Goes right back to your other poem…gotta read the fine print. Believe the lies, trust the cardboard cut out caricature, you get what you deserve. Hitting nails on the head with a jack-hammer, as usual, my friend

hello dearest Damian karma always has her way well said I am depressed it feels heavy this poem great write 💕

“Been swindled under some false pretense”, def felt that line.
Nice penned my friend.

“grass is dead on the other side”. The older I get the more I feel that. Great ink.

Damian, I read and reread your poem. Took me into the heart of chasing rainbows and the stark reality that often is at the other side. Superbly crafted poem.

John

That hits with a quiet force—like courage stitched from trembling threads. The contrast between silence and the mask of bravery unveils a moment of deep vulnerability, almost like a portrait of someone holding themselves together just enough to get by. It carries the weight of all the things left unsaid when fear takes the reins.
