    .Thunder and Lightning

      Thunder and Lightning    Fateblack clouds over my life's tristesse Monotomy frustration and loneliness Silence hangs oppressive in the air Turning my suffering into despair Nature holds its breath, it's getting dark No bird sings, no wolf howls, no dog barks It's calm as in the beginning...

    • Well that’s simply beautiful.
      💋

    • Beyond being so very literate, this poem simply glows with passion and gratitude. It gives me hope in humanity that such a person as you lives on the same beloved Earth as I. I feel very glad that you have experienced this and that I have at least a remote connection to your very special being, dear Elke. Warmly, Jim

      • Your warm words make me blush, dear Jim! I am just an ordinary person like anyone else. We all belong to the human species. We were born on this planet in different appearance and with different attitudes. We should support one another instead of bringing us down and fighting us. Thanks a lot for your gracious comment!

    • There is a universe of emotion packed into this poem. When connection is made, miles mean nothing. Beautiful, Elke

      • My deepest gratitude for your kind comment, dear Willow! A soul connection doesn’t depend on time or distance.

    • Beautifully penned, Elke. Excellent write with such an honest message my friend. What a lovely tribute. Appreciate you.

      Warm regards, Gus

    Exhaustion

    One moment you are concious.The next half awake.One moment you are walking. The next you are in a lake.It feels like an endless loop.Of fatigue,exhaustion. As I watch the flowers grow.My eyelids slowly begin to fall.Because I spent my whole day...

    • The song is really beautiful, warm and joyous… as I was reading I could feel the melody and beat of it, I love the repeation and alternation between “I” and “you”, it’s like making vows between each other, a truly romantic and lovely love poem.

      • Chère L.,
        Since I’m a quarter French, a typical French start.
        Hope this finds you well.

        If this comment is what you meant in the message?
        If you intended to send me a poem (?), please send it to the e mail address:
        Duhsjaak.13@gmail.com

        Thank you anyway very very much for the compliments.
        I’ll pass half of them to Michael A who wrote the lyrics.

        À same lyrics challenge, means that everyone who wants to be involved, writes a song to the same lyrics.
        I believe that roughly 15 persons participated. But I’m not sure. It’s 7 years ago?!

        Grateful for your read and listen!
        Warm regards, Gus

    • Beautiful work. Vivid and sharp.

      • Hoi Thomas,
        Hope this finds you well?!

        Thank you for the compliments.
        And also on behalf of Michael A (north east England), very grateful for you listen!
        Kind regards, Gus

    • This is a sweet read, and it is not annoying at all.

    • Chère F.,
      Hope this finds you well?!

      I do admire your talent and your writes, so I love a compliment if it’s coming from you.
      Thank you so much!

      Warm regards, Gus

    • Chère C.,
      Now nice to see you again.
      I must have done something wrong, since the reply I typed was lost. Sorry for that.

      Anyway, I am grateful for your listen. Also on behalf of Michael A of course.

      See you around!
      Warm regards, Gus

    Thief

    You are a thief With innocence written across the face   You stole each heartbeat The rapid and steady   You stole each breath. The labored and the rapid   You stole time Slipping away as I gaze upon you   As thieves go You are one of the best Not realizing you...

    • hello beautiful poetess I most fear the unexpected nasty events that happen to people it is scary like for instance a lady was set on fire walking by a stranger… I don’t like there are such dreadful people in the world great write ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Amethyste. Existence is scary a lot like uncertainty, they’ve got similar effects. Excellent write my friend. Your work makes me ponder after reading it, and that’s a wonderful thing. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.
