    Embracing Shadows

    I did miss you... from time to time... I’m not going to lie  it’s the truth   but I’ve been thinking... (yeah, I know...it's a dubious habit of mine...) and I was hit with an epiphany... certain facts suddenly striking me... this thing we foolishly called love... it didn’t...

    • “It never even existed” well felt that and I am pretty sure a lot of people do… Really good piece.

      • That good ol’ wishful thinking at its finest. We create something bigger in our minds/hearts than is really there…at least on their part. So when they burst the bubble, it’s shattering on so many levels. Thank you, Fia

    • When i first wrote this, it was from her perspective. Listening to her talk about it and how she felt about it. It wasn’t until later that I had reason to relate to it as she did. She never saw the poem or heard the song until recently because I didn’t want to scratch the wound. But she’s heard it now. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • My daughter only heard it today and has announced that I should be the official lyricist of her life. It’s finally been long enough that the pain isn’t as fresh, so I let her hear it for the first time. That “chorus” was a recent addition…written from fresh understanding of my own. Thank you, my friend

    • My daughter is an amazing woman…just not his amazing. And that’s not his loss or hers. She gained a lot of sense of self from the experience and is a stronger person than she was then. Like her mother, she’s a giver. And that usually involves giving too much leeway and too many chances. Hope dies slowly, I guess. Thank you, Honoria

    • Powerful work. Tremendous writing.

    • There is a fire of honesty and feeling here.
      This stood out:
      “it’s not how you held me…

      it’s what you held back…”

      Great work
      Regards
      James

    • Hi Willow!
      The poem is great but with the added song, it sounds so smooth. Like velvet.
      Just awesome!

      • When I played it for my daughter the day I posted (first time she’d ever heard it), she said I need to be her official life lyricist. It was way too close to tender wounds for a long time. I couldn’t show until the scars healed. Thank you, Adelphina

  • Hello everyone! Here’s my spy novella ‘Freddy Falco: Intensive Care’. I’ve uploaded chapter 1 to 7 so far. Enjoy and let me know what you think, I’m always happy to find out what people’s thoughts are about my works 😊🌹

    • This is so sweet and I love the back and forth. It worked well. You can see the conversation between the two of you. Very nice collaboration.

    • I love this:). Thanks for collaborating with me sweetie.

      I also got to give a shout out to Crimsin since she inspired me to try something related to the desert:)

    • Beautifully penned, Mark & Adel. What a lovely collaboration, really love the back and forth between you two, as in life and in love, your words also show your undeniable connection. Nicely done. Appreciate you both.

    • Thank you, Damian. Her and I have a remarkable amount in common. And thankfully our creative writing is what ultimately got us together. That is a huge reward!

    • hello the both of you this is true love what it feels like what it looks like… so much passion time nor place can part just beautiful ❤️

      • Aww thank you! She is an incredible woman. I get motivated just seeing her.
        Actually, hers and my humor and witty banter made everything so easy for us. very comfortable from the beginning. We get along really well. Writing is the spark, but her and I maintain the fire.

    • You guys are like the dynamic duo of poetry, tight work dude

    • Oh, we are pretty dynamic in a few ways! Thanks though, because it was writing that got us together. It was the crazy humor that snagged us! LOL

    • The ebb and flow of this collab is beautifully harmonious!
