  • How you'll know I Love You (sonnet doublet)

    Here's one pulled from the shelf and dusted-off I thought our onsite romantics might enjoy. It may be too long for some … you decide.INTRO: In as much that I knew this piece would be about love, the decision...

    • Ohhh, Dear Lady 🥀

      You must keep mindful, waiting at that window ~ whispers light certain kinds of flames, you know.
      So sweet, your efulgent encouragements, Adira; surely, a humble bard (such as I) would never expect to outshine those many grateful fellows in your life who’ve come to adore you … I’m sooo pleasantly, sooo sumptuously surprised!
      Love your beguiling sense-of-humor, and your most lovely compliment. ; )

      Thank you ever-so warmly, Adira! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • I have to tell you, Richard, I feel like I’ve been driven to your castle in horse and carriage, ushered out into a flourishing rose garden, and wisped up into your arms bridal style over the threshold. Take me to your bedroom and the balcony that overlooks your domain. Carry me up the winding staircase and lay me on fresh linens. Strip me naked in your ravishing furry. Take me, Richard… not as a king takes his queen, but as he takes his young mistress during a heated fit of passion inside the dark, hidden chambers where her shrill cries of mating remain dampened. Read me your sonnets when I’m strewn across your bed, obliterated. Let the finches build their nests while you play in mine. Kiss my rose and everything you see. That’s how I’ll know that you love me.

      • Goodness, DK 😳

        Your graciously gorgeous review rivals my Sonnets in its compellingly fervent bliss, in wantoned kiss, for it’s all THIS ‘n more, but that’s what loving’s for … oh-MY!

        Loving you’s what poetry was invented for … now, to make it fit the page without burning down the site!🔥
        I’ve received reviews, and Reviews; yet, it’s hard to ever recall a REVIEW such as THIS!

        With a weak-kneed, melted into my socks … grateful thanks, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • This was a great piece Damian. They should have a cemetery for these classic muscle cars. I love the look, the sound and the performance of these cars from the 60’s and 70’s. Great piece of writing Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. There are nothing like the classics my friend. I even dig some of the 50’s cars and trucks. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Okay, I’m gonna admit it. This brought me to tears. The memories I have of wandering salvage yards with daddy, scavenging parts for his current car project, are some of the most precious for me. Daddy’s little grease monkey. I can smell the old interiors & rust still. Thank you for the journey back, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Sounds like joyous tears then. My dad worked on cars some when I was younger, sometimes I smell fresh paint mixed with bondo. lol. I also enjoy watch car revivals on YouTube. I find it relaxing for some reason. Grease monkey, huh? Great story my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Cool, my first car was a Camaro. I love cars & trucks even though I’m not mechanical at all. lol. When I need to relax I watch YouTube for the Car revival shows. A guilty pleasure I guess. lol. Never enough time. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • A metaphorical genius you are indeed, bro.
      When those memories hit!!!..Like a Rolodex of the mind
      Can’t say enough about this vibe!!

      much respect

    • You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Most cars today look like cheap matchbox cars. Great ink.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. Some of the newer cars are better than the 80’s and 90’s models. But they don’t have the spirt and vibe of their older counterparts. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I knew you liked this one, and you’re very welcome. So wonderful to see you my friend. I’ve missed your writes and commentary. Appreciate you.

    Many years spent passing the blame All that negativity burned a hole inside No matter how high it ends the same In an empty gutter of swallowed pride   Lessons never learned lead to demise How many times until fear takes hold? Blissful ignorance holds numb...

    • Killer piece my friend. A great poem to think about, especially if you sold your soul.
      Question for you Damian…Did you sell your soul for Rock n Roll?

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. No, I never went that far. lol. If I had and this was all the farther I got, then I would have got fucked on that deal. lol. I tend to complain sometimes, but this isn’t one of those times. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • If ever there was a declaration for choosing your life wisely, this is it. We get one shot, make it count. And never sell out. I’d bookmark this if I could, so consider it bookmarked, my friend!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Honored to be a chapter in the book. Spot on in your interpretation. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Sometimes I feel like I sleepwalk through life. Especially since I work a lot. Great ink.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you liked the write my friend. It can be hard when one is working a lot, but I’ve read your work, you’re wide awake to the sleepwalking I’m speaking of. Appreciate you.
