    Where Love Runs Red

    • This drips with grit and shadow—each line a pulse of pain and dark devotion.
      You’ve poured the body’s ache and the soul’s rust into a river of red, unafraid to bleed.

    But that’s the way I like it baby,
    I don’t wanna live forever,
    And don’t forget the joker!”

    • I have “born to lose” tattooed to my right arm. Branded by a real Missouri gangster, never to be altered on the promise of payment at a later date, all becuz of Super Bowl XXXIII. I never needed or wanted another.

      • Damn, Benjamin. That would be traumatizing my friend, sorry you went through that, sounds like a lesson learned the hard way. Thank you for sharing your story. Appreciate you.

        • Every self-made predicament was a necessary lesson, and the losses were net positives long-term. It just took about two decades to get there. I’m a slow learner. Thank you!

    • Hey both of you…

      I was thinking of the logistics of such a contest…

      I don’t even know how many former DUP members would be interested…

      So I am thinking of doing maybe just an open book contest, not necessarily former DU members…

    • Imagine all sexual energy becoming cities and people, everything in existence depending on the constant flow of sex. Tight

      • All the Ancient Series of Oz deals with sex, power and betrayal in a twisted way. The next one I just finished in the series will make some people uncomfortable.

    Survival

    Complicated by this way of thinking  Some would say it’s counterproductive  Deprived of air eyes rapidly blinking Dark sins detailing secrets so seductive   Wrapped up tight sleep won’t come Reflecting on mistakes filled with regret Bad memories linger like stale rum The burden of guilt brings...

    • Absolutely. Survival is never selling your soul. Nice;))

    • This cuts like a jagged blade—raw, relentless, and unflinching.
      You’ve carved the chaos of guilt and power into verse that doesn’t beg for mercy, it demands it.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you for the killer commentary and continued support. Appreciate you.

    • “Bloodshot brain struggles to recognize.” A lot of powerful lines, but this right here, I think, hits the hardest. So much is happening, so many of us walking around dazed and confused, so many of us see what’s going on and struggle to make sense of it, so many of us find it hard to process, we look away, hide behind comforts, behind lies, behind whatever makes it digestible. Loved this!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Kay. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I too dig that line a lot. You summed it up nicely with your amazing commentary. Thanks for your support. Appreciate you.

    • Well done Damian. This one cuts deeps and lets the truth ooze out into our consciousness. Perfect!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Survival.. its the only logical way to go forward .. Muchly enjoyed .. thankfully with my soul intact .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is the only logical way to move forward, indeed. Still got mine as well. Appreciate you.

    • I love a great write about survival.
      There have been times where I tell myself to get through the next few hours.
      Just get through it and it will be fine.
      Then the next and the next.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I can relate to that train of thought. Appreciate you.

    • One of my ‘good or bad” traits is that I don’t back down from anything. I have no problem questioning literally anything that seems wrongish. Your write reminds me of that. How the masses fall off the cliffs blindly, not hesitating or asking why.
      You’ve been on quite an artistic soapbox lately. Stand tall, preach it brother. You’re a natural.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I totally understand not knowing if something is a good or bad trait, I strive for consistent these days. I feel the same about questioning anything that seems or feels wrong-ish. I’m glad I could remind you of that, brother. Thank you for your continued support it truly means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

    • I wish more of them would admit their wrong-mindedness when Truth hits them. But they seem to double down on their willful ignorance and continue their zombie march. Fueled by the love of division and dominance. Too blind to recognize they’re being dominated by their white messiah. This time has definitely brought the hate and ugliness out in broad daylight. It’s always been there, but not as overtly. When the dust settles and (hopefully) decency as returned to the top, they’ll ooze grudgingly back into their sewers. But we will always know they’re there and remember who they really are. Never sell the soul…powerful indeed, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I wish more would too, some will wait till the last possible moment I fear, it’s the responsibility of the poet or poetess (observer) to document how it really went down. We help expose the truth that sours those lies, at least that’s my humble opinion on the subject. I’m sitting around the bonfire roasting S’mores, pull up a chair, I have plenty for everyone. Bring more matches if you can? Appreciate you.
