good morning dearest Benny I often tell my husband he is due a reward for looking out for me there are so many areas I would be in danger on my own… a lot of people leave their spouces on a whim I don’t take mine for granted I know good and bad times come…I focus on what is worth my time and try to let the petty things go…he is my husband and caretaker I would be lost without him… you would think people would be understanding but sadly the ones that come near us are usually looking to take advantage of our diminished state…having a wife who understands you is beautiful…I know depression and know it often comes out of the blue and even when nothing is wrong it is unexplainable and it hurts when others say what’s wrong or just snap out of it I know it’s painful…I really appreciated your understanding but I didn’t mean to ramble so much your comment brough a lot of things to light like how grateful I am for my husband though imperfect has stood by me through the storms have a beautiful day today 💕

Powerfully penned, Brenda. The human mind is powerful, but it can be like putting together a puzzle, with very vague directions. Amazing write my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

What a great read for me this evening. Very beautifully done, lulling in a good way. Like a sailboat easing along the waves.
So well done. I love it!-

Ramble without rhyme as the consciousness flows. Glad that you enjoyed the flow of the stream.

This is quite breathtaking and intriguing.
I admire the delicate flow of this poem, it really does take me on a journey.
A much needed break from reality.
A vibrant and comforting read. x

That’s all I need, to know I helped someone escape the mundane, if but for a few moments.
Thank you for stopping by. 🌼

I enjoyed this. Comparing the kiss to drinking water is imaginative–I like it. I need to “see” the action in a story, and that was easy with this. Probably because I’m a very foolish (and hopeless) romantic, I feel bad when romance has to take a back seat to life goals. Maybe she’ll see him again?

Thank you, Sam. She has to choose who she is going to be with among the shot glasses. I appreciate you reading this.

I just love how this unfolds. The character development of the Scottish man is truly outstanding. And your grasp of the Scottish lingo is truly amazing. I love how you made the Scottish words so clearly understandable yet authentic. And the story telling is fabulous.

I cast desire upon the tide,
My fingers tremble for her weight
A secret urge I cannot hide,
My bait a promise, sweet as fate.She rises shimmering, bare and bold,
Her flanks and curve inflame the air
Enticing as forbidden gold,
She stirs my blood with fevered dare.She fights, resists, with sultry grace,
Her finish slick against my skin;
The pull, the yield, our swift embrace
She swallows lust, I drink her in.On shore, still dripping wet with lust,
Her form revealed, full-bodied, wild
We meet as lovers, freed and flushed
My catch, my craving, reconciled-

Just reading Honoria’s comment above & I think she’s right. This one might need to be considered for your lyrics list on the album. It has a cadence that moves & the visual is captivating. Worth considering, my friend? 🤔

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Anything is on the table, maybe even spoken word. Never say never. The song I’m working on, I literally had to start writing lyrics to it. None of the old words were fitting the vibe. Also, I haven’t tried to write a song for many summers now. I kinda forgot sometimes the music leads the dance. lol. Appreciate you.

It’s the same for most mental illnesses.
Those that have never suffered from them cannot entirely understand what’s happening in the mind of the afflicted.
My mental health illness of choice (as if I had any) was depression.Everyone looked for a reason as to why it happened and yes there may have been some reasons but essentially I am predisposed to it.
They also presume medication will fix it when in fact it can’t.It can lessen the impact but the brain and the mind of a ‘ looney’ neuroplaticly savant ( I just made that up so no point googling it) in that it’s like trying to catch the wind and tame it.
I’m rambling a bit but today is a suffering day and writing ,as you well know,calms the mind.Doesnt have to be good writing,just has to be good enough to quiet the mind.
You’re husband is destined for heaven,if there is one,just tell him to keep away from my wife.They are saints in the making.It cannot be easy for either to understand our suffering but without them we probably wouldn’t be here?
One final thing.For all the shit that depression brought it also helped kick open a door that let kindness and compassion flood into me.
I often encounter people in social settings that trivialise or worse vilify those with mental health issues.What they don’t understand is they are only a bees dick away from themselves.
You take care sweetie and I mean that from the heart of my bottom…lol.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
