The Final Resolution

Poetry

I was discouraged at therapy that my face was hideousNo one knew a sinner unless they looked at their fatherThe mother of your sons biological abortionLike a pistonLike a slug waiting to eat saltDisintegration of the molten force underneath...

  Powerfully penned, Keith. This is classic you my friend. The Dr. Seuss of horror. I’ve missed you brother. Appreciate you.

  This poem is raw and fearless. The line about the father hit especially hard – it carries so much weight and truth. The imagery throughout is visceral and powerful, like a scream turned into poetry.

Create The Picture

Poetry

Styles clash often in writing Collaborations take chemistry Ego’s can lead to infighting Often shrouded within mystery When successful it’s grand Playing to each others strengths Turning glass back into sand Always going to great lengths Bad vibes will lead to disaster Resorting in Kamikaze antics Mind starts spinning...

  This is a brilliant and honest look at the collaborative process. You perfectly capture the tension and the beauty of it. The line “Turning glass back into sand” is an amazing image for the way things come together.

  Collaborations are a dance in a way. Got to read your partner. It’s tricky to get magic but when it works it’s beautiful.

  I remember you from the ember DU days (daze?) but our paths never crossed. You were always so encouraging and supportive of fellow comrades. That is an art in itself. Keep writing fella.

  Great and beautifully written reflections, dear Damian! I agree, the collaboration process is an art itself. Different writing styles collide, and if they are harmonic, the result will read like penned with one ink. When the styles are very different, maybe a piece of abstract art will be created. The diversity of possible collaborations makes them beautiful and interesting!

  Even Lennon and McCartney couldn’t get along in the end. Collaborations are famous throughout history. But sometimes ideas go in different directions, ego’s overtake, and animosity takes over. It can be sad, very sad when things fall apart.

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That is true, a lot of duo’s grow apart. People can grow apart over time. Addiction, sobriety, faith, and starting families all have an effect on the collective relationship. It can be sad, indeed. Appreciate you.

  Friends drift apart. As you mentioned in your last comment. Also we just change. Many things we don’t enjoy or like from when we were kids or teenagers. Keeping a friend or two from your youth though is important. I feel it’s the bridge to a life that was a simpler, more meaningful time. We grow old, but the kid inside never dies. Great write Damian.

  I always find collaborating incredibly intimidating. How to find a balance where both voices carry equal weight? Some styles are more dominating & others more gentle. But I’ve seen jarringly different styles woven beautifully in a single piece. I love the glass back to sand metaphor. Deconstructing to its base element. All comes from the same beach, as it were. The places your pen travels, my friend…

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. My favorite line! It’s a dance for sure, sometimes teetering on the brink of disaster, only to be saved at the last possible moment of the grand finale. At least that’s my experience with the whole process. Appreciate you.

  I have been asked many times but even though I am occasionally tempted, I have always tended to shy away .. having said that, I have a great deal of admiration for anyone who chooses to go down that particular poetic and or storytelling route & gets something out of it other than enjoyment or a headache .. I imagine that here you have given this particular reader something to think about long after the curtain has been drawn .. Kindest regards to both you n your pen Damian .. Neville

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve collaborated in songwriting, not as much on poetry, though I’ve done a few. It’s a dance basically, and chemistry plays a big part. But it’s a cool experience, never say never my friend. Appreciate you.

The Great Deceiver

Poetry

Fueled by a consuming rage Pointed at every situation As I fall into the final stage Right before the initiation Locked inside self-torment Wiggling out of the noose Keeping all the spirits dormant Until madness is busting loose Pressure building within me Anger clouding all that I see Face...

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s going, though it took a while to get my “Logic Pro” software. Which allows me to mix better and I can even master my music with it. But, I got a song mapped out structurally, I have lyrics for everything but the bridge. Which I just came up with that bridge tonight. Gotta record vocals, and backing vocals next. Hopefully, I’ll be letting you hear it soon. I miss you too, my friend. You’ve been penning some excellent work my friend. Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

  I get the sense of internal conflict, and the rhythm and urgency make it clear these are lyrics meant to be performed.
  
  The energy builds perfectly toward the chorus: “Face to face with destiny…” I especially like the line “Loyal to the art of betrayal” – it’s a great, concise piece of wordplay.
