      Discarded Dreams

      Listening to those old songs again They speak of pain and past regret A familiar voice wears a bitter grin Hard living arrives at endless debt   Bending words to avoid all feeling Can’t outrun those distant screams Strange spirts often make a killing Pillaging through discarded...

        I can clearly understand your excellently expressed words, dear Damian. Such songs can trigger an endless loop of depressing thoughts. But they hold also the potential to make us aware of the shadows in our soul and help us to heal them.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I too, like that line. You are correct in your assessment, in this instance this one leans towards the latter. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

      • There’s nothing worse than past regrets. If we could only get it right the first time it would alleviate so much. But life doesn’t allow it. Sad but true. Good one, Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It would save a bunch of heartache to get it right the first time but life kinda gets in the way sometimes. Appreciate you.

        Yeahhh. I get this. The older I get the more I resonate with
        those Truth Tellers of the past

        Thorough work, Damian

        much respect

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Truth tellers of the past often inspire new truth tellers. That’s just my opinion though. Much respect to you sir. Appreciate you.

      • This hits with the weight of memory that refuses to soften, each line carrying its own ache. I love how the poem lets the past speak plainly—no sugar, just the raw residue of living.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you for your continued support brother, really means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

      • Oh the layers in this one. It’s interesting how old songs can take us back to a moment and it’s fresh again, but we’re able to look at it through the eyes of hindsight. That’s where regret comes into play. Without hindsight, we don’t know there’s anything to regret. I sit with old tunes sometimes just to remind myself where I am, because of where I’ve been. And then I change the music and carry on. It’s all we can do. But those old ones… Feeling this one, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Music definitely can take you back in time and without hindsight I agree there would be no regret. Great job deciphering the layers. It also adds more layers when I helped write and arrange some of those old tunes. Some guy once said: “Music is the soundtrack of our lives.” He might be on to something. lol. Appreciate you.

      • Powerfully penned, Naaj. Excellent write this one has layers my friend, very deep layers. Amazing work as always. Appreciate you.

        Damian

        • Big thx, bro. This is one of those writes/rites that lingers in the subconscious in so many fragmented pieces.
          I had to sit on this for months before I could post, stuck in poetic limbo.
          As always. I appreciate your commentary. Damian

          Much respect

          Naaj

      • This is a thinker for us dude, on this we will review and deliberate. We like when a piece actually makes us want to think on it, tight

        • Cool. I’m glad you vibed with my intent, bro. I wanted this to inspire an inward conversation.
          Mission accomplished.

          Much respect.

        Wow! This is a powerful statement that holds much truth! You just have to listen carefully to politicians. They tell you everything they intent to do, hidden between distracting words.
        Brilliant work, Damian!

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Two of my favorite lines as well. Exactly, they tell a lot these days. It’s all hidden in plain sight. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Not only true enough but my word yours here look so pretty sitting on their very own page .. Neville

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well you know how to make a person feel appreciated. Thanks to you kind sir. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Phenomenal piece Damian. Makes ya think. Powerful write my friend.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m always trying to evoke thought brother. lol. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Okay, Prophet, you did it again. They only wear the mask long enough to lull the sheep. The wolves are out in force now, no masks. And you nailed this one like a jackhammer of Truth. I really wish you weren’t so deadly accurate…but here we are. That vault of yours must be packed with treasure, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Believe me I wish I wasn’t accurate. The wolves are taking everything that’s not nailed down. Including those boots we’re supposed to pull ourselves up with, we’re essentially strapless. lol. “Jackhammer of Truth” sounds like a possible song or album name. There are a couple of gems in there from time to time. I agree though the masks have been discarded. Always enjoy your commentary, sorry I tend to get you riled you up so often. lol. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Tight, relentless lines. This feels like a pressure chamber where thought turns toxic and power hides behind masks. I like how the poem doesn’t over-explain—just lets the spiral speak for itself. Dark, current, and uncomfortably true.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m a believer of letting the reader fill in the gaps with their thoughts and where the write takes them. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Nice! Tightly done yet with a bullseye message. The rhymes are perfect, too. Excellent write Damian.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I try.. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • You were ahead of your time, Damian. This applies today as if it was written yesterday. Great poem!
