    Frustrations

    Writing all my fears on an empty page Needing to share these random thoughts Looking for common ground to engage Never found it hard to connect the dots   Chasing dreams in a game of chance I’m a realist when it comes to limitations  Sure it...

    • Oh, so totally resonates. I don’t know where I would be without my proverbial pen. And I spent far too many years perched in neutral…only to discover there is no such thing. Either your ass is leaning in one direction or your nose is. I prefer staying informed & walking the path that suits me. Shadows & all. And i find like souls along the way when living authentic. Consider this one on my reading list with emphasis, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I wasn’t in neutral, but my wheels were always spinning. Either wound up in the ditch of life, or lost on an alcohol induced detour. Nowadays I’m living authentic as well, there’s shadows down every path I’ve found. Being aware and informed allows one to read the situation better. Thanks for the list.. Appreciate you.

    • That’s beautifully reflective—wisdom framed not as some lofty concept, but as lived experience layered over time. The imagery of seasons and fences evokes quiet contemplation, hesitation, even resilience. That last line? A soft unraveling of illusion. It reads like a quiet reckoning.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on. I believe wisdom is acquired through time and experience. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

  • Strong women rock.

    I open for no one.I choose.But when I want you,when the ache coils low and deep,I am the mouth that swallows your name.Between my thighs is no mysteryjust hunger,wet and waiting in the velvet bloomyou tremble to taste.Call it...

    Voracious Appetite

    Cruel intentions sit behind blue eyes Nothing normal about feeling this way Crawling on paper skin bruised by lies Darkness waits to seize a summer day   Sleepless nights filled with frustration  Claustrophobic words shallow and thin Filtering through arrogant conversation Naked praise wears this suspicious grin   Verbal...

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

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Nice, to see you again. I was pretty confident till the end. lol. It took me awhile to get the flow right, I had went through so many ideas that were cool but wasn’t working right. So though these lines worked I wasn’t sure, but from all the support in the comments, I chose wisely. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • 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.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The words you used to describe this piece in your eyes was amazing, brother. That means so much to me, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

        Damian

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

      Great poem/

      And ty for your comments, they’re much appreciated.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m glad you think that, brother. It really means a lot to me. Good to see you back, not a problem, big fan of your work. Appreciate you.

    • Karma has an army…& her day is still coming. It’s interesting watching the different responses people have to the insanity right now. Solid piece here

      • Sometimes I feel we have been taken over by monsters and they are protected by fools. It’s hard to wrap my head around how this is reality. A pedophile as president is pathetic, but he is unqualified in ever way. Words can’t say how disappointed I am with his supporters.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • hello dearest Nick I know what you mean you know God loves his sheep but he has confided in me he loves his macabre people more…why do think this world is as it is? the devil if there is one is a fall guy we will burn someone in effigy and call it good at the end lol 💕

      • I believe in a God. Whatever that may be. I think good and evil is just part of the plan. After all good and evil is really perspective. I can get over someone being evil, it’s the cowards and hypocrites that blow my mind. They turned being a boot licker into an art. Not sure if I believe in a Haven and hell but if one person is deserving of it it’s Trump.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. I get where you were going in this one my friend. It’s a wicked world out there. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • It was a wicked world. Now it’s just a bat shit crazy world haha. Totally mind blowing how so many of us are just stupid. Even people you would think would be better than this, but nope. It’s a level I can’t understand.

        Thanks for the read, friend.
