    Serpent's Bite

    There is a path worn into the carpet Slight discoloration after constant pacing Pitch-black sky like a starless tarpit War is raging with this demon I’m facing   He calls my bluff about fearing death With insults meant as a means to kill me slow Spit...

    • Man, that vault holds gems. Great piece.
      Favorite line
      “He calls my bluff about fearing death

      With insults meant as a means to kill me slow”

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I love those lines as well, the vault has many layers indeed, but some are also incomplete or rough drafts, or will never see the light of day. lol. Appreciate you, cuz.

    • This smacks so hard of facing down the demons. It’s funny how bluffing can actually lead to the footing we need. There’s no retreat in this one. Just solid, bite me attitude…even as a bluff it carries the sting. The mistakes we make are lessons for farther down the road. It’s best not to forget their making, but their purpose is actually healing. If we let it. Powerful piece, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The familiar sting always lingers beneath the surface, it’s a reminder to not forget the past but learn from it. Your analysis is spot on as usual, it must be the kindred spirt effect. I got the memo, I brought the hot chocolate to go with marshmallows, the bonfire awaits us. Appreciate you.

    • Sometimes its best to face em square on isn’t it .. but then I guess that’s where these fine words are coming from .. well there, and that seemingly bottomless vault you guard well and keep drawing from .. Write on brother D .. Neville 😎👍

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Sometimes there isn’t a choice once you reach a certain point, but yes experience is often painful in its teachings. Plus eventually one gets tired of running eventually. Appreciate you.

    • Excellent write up. That last line sets the reader up perfectly to loop back to the beginning and read this again. The cycle to start this over again gels perfectly with the cycle of the struggle you writ about. Deep stuff and worth every read one gives it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brandon. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Some of that looping cycle comes from many summers of songwriting. Appreciate you.

    • Next level shadow work, bro
      This vibe resonates with me on a level unspoken
      Into the poetic crypt it goes

      Much respect

    • The worn path, the rising heat, the serpent’s bite. It all feels like the shape of an old struggle finally seen in full light.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, CG. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Your commentary is so spot on, thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • We’ve all been bit by something in our past. Volunteering to carry the venom through life is never a good idea. Good one, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. A very true statement indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I like the observation on the carpet, where it’s more worn out due to use (pacing) which also shows the pacing in the piece.
      Strong write my friend. Well done.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do pace a lot whether I’m anxious or when deep thinking or sometimes both. Appreciate you.

    All I'm Asking

    Another spirt in a quagmire Selling off dignity just to get by Inflated egos that conspire Adding layers to a perpetual lie   Sycophants always fall in line Empty vessels lacking a spine   This world so full of sorrow Throwing obstacles in the way All I’m asking of...

    • It is a bit musical. I wish for a better day, each and every day. That deer lost in headlights is so true

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. A lot of us do wish for better days, that’s for sure. It has a musical feel is on point, it pretty much demanded to be that way, I just followed along for the ride. Appreciate you, cuz.

        Damian

    • I agree.

      Thank you for putting it into words so eloquently.

    • Got my foot tapping away from the off to the end and back again .. Nice one too sir . Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It does have a bit of a rhythm. Thank you for your continued support kind sir. Appreciate you.

      • I like how this feels angry and tenderly thought at the same time. I like that hopefulness in the dark

    • Damian the fire in the eyes of those zealous followers of the pied piper elevated to guru status is painted in your poem with fire and smoke. Truly a smoking great poem that is as strong emotionally as it is rhythmically. You have real talent my friend.

      John

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, John. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Really loved the way you described the write in your eyes my friend. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • I don’t think I’ve seen subterfuge used in poetry before and you made it fit and feel perfect.
      I think many of us are feeling the same way, especially with the way the world is going.
      Excellent write sir.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Wally. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I like using odd words or hardly used words from time to time. When I can make them fit of course. lol. The world is very fragile at the moment. Appreciate you.
