    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/

    • 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.

    A Great Divide

    So much pain sent within a shockwave Voices turn silent when riddled with fear Wearing a face that only appears brave Underneath it stirs a torment more severe   Out in the ether the air has grown dense Seems the grass is dead on the...

    • Im reminded of the old adage…if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Goes right back to your other poem…gotta read the fine print. Believe the lies, trust the cardboard cut out caricature, you get what you deserve. Hitting nails on the head with a jack-hammer, as usual, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Very true, all the old adages and wives tales are quite accurate. You know me. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

        Damian

    • Damian, I read and reread your poem. Took me into the heart of chasing rainbows and the stark reality that often is at the other side. Superbly crafted poem.

      John

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, John. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Very true.. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • That hits with a quiet force—like courage stitched from trembling threads. The contrast between silence and the mask of bravery unveils a moment of deep vulnerability, almost like a portrait of someone holding themselves together just enough to get by. It carries the weight of all the things left unsaid when fear takes the reins.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Wow, you are so spot on with your commentary. Nice job catching all that, brother. I know I can jam a lot of things into a write. lol. Appreciate you.
