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”

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, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well it’s nice to see you back brother, you’ve been missed around here. Always grateful for your continued support it means a lot to me. 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 😎👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well… the secret realm of just us. (you told the secret) This is really good.

wow dearest Naajir this is hot organic sex and lust…I’m feeling the poem ❤️

Big thx, bro. This was a fun vibe to write

Much respect always

Naaj

Thanks for dropping in

The picture is bad ass! Then your words come rolling like thunder. I love the rhythm of this, especially. The word build is very, very clever, too. Top tier writing, Naajir. Powerful and entertaining. Memorable, actually.
