    • This is a beautiful telling of what one feels towards another.

    • Wow! You’re a Wordsworth Rascal! Damn, you know how to melt a heart, don’t you? I’m a rhyme and meter girl with much of my poetry, so I appreciate the elegance of this piece despite its lack of contemporary appeal. The message is anti-materialistic and wholly wholesome with a massive slice of humility. You’re slipping in that age factor, that timeless long-lasting relationship that so many country songs emphasize.

      It’s worth a roll in the hay any day, Rascal. Put a daisy in my hair.

      xoxo

      • My, oh-MY, Lady-Poet 🌻
        What a lucky coincidence that I just happened to come upon a little daisy this morning while strolling along, imagining someone whose lovely hair it might grace, of what it might lead to, of whom….er, I seem to have (somehow) wandered-off into fantasyland. 😌
        Damn, yourself … you’ve quite a knack for inspiring your own rising stimulations⁓*
        Yes, M’Lady, how unfortunate such a huge, powerful, and beautiful expanse of poetry has become ignored and limited to talking/prose (not really poetic prose) in the erroneous name of contemporary advancement … what a shame to watch thw art and depths of poetic skill dwindle to a trickle. Ahhh, I could soapbox your lovely ears off … LOL!

        How sweetl to be so completely grasped … and, mmm, what a lavish bouquet of thought you’ve inspired … right side or left? ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • This is one of my favorite subjects, its a poem of sweet sincerity..

    Backstage (Van Halen - The Reunion That Never Happened)

    Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. The year was 1996, September 4th to be precise. I’m watching the MTV awards show for some reason, I’ve never been huge into watching the award’s ceremony. Not even for live performances, mainly because...

    • I remember that moment. And yeah, it is such a lose to the music industry with Eddie gone. It reminds me of something Doyle from the Misfits said. Something like the music industry is the only industry where people can’t get along to make millions of dollars.

      Great ink

    • Great piece of writing Damian. Never enjoyed VH’s music. DLR or Sammy Hagar. It doesn’t matter to me. What does matter is this piece you wrote. Deep, intriguing and full of some fun facts. Backstage is one great idea my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Even though you’re not a fan of the band. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you liked the story my friend. Memories, are something I have in abundance. There will be more. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the story my friend. Loved “Me Wise Magic” and “Can’t Get This Stuff No More.” were both great songs. Mike was always the anchor on backing vocals. DLR, often referred to him as the, Art Garfunkel, of the band. lol. Ed, went through a rough time for sure with addiction. Like you said he did clean up though, and turned his life around. They were great with, Hagar. But I’ll always be a Roth guy. I loved them both as solo artists as well. Actually I sometimes prefer Sammy on his own. Appreciate you.

    • I’ve heard both incarnations of Van Halen. I’m a DLR era girl myself. Different energy. Oddly enough, I enjoyed Hagar solo better than in Van Halen. I could never quite reconcile that innocent boy face on Eddie with the incredible fucking skill he blasted out of his guitar. Damn. Those were good days & great tunes. Thank you for taking us back, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. I’m a DLR guy, obviously. lol. There were good songs in the Hagar era, but it was a different vibe. Hagar, is better solo. Especially some of the albums after he got kicked out of VH. Ed always had that grin, usually because he was drinking, he never did it as often when he was sober. You’re welcome, always love to reminisce about music. Appreciate you.

    Her Warmest Embrace

    Spilling ink just to get through the night Distorted thoughts rising to the surface Sweetest muse marks me with her bite Bringing desire and stoking my furnace   Sharing visions that bring a truthful urge Wading in darkness while walking upright Not knowing which version will...
