    • hello dearest Joe love who you love and give yourself as fully as you can even if it’s just a friendship because being half there is no way to live trust me I know 💕

      • Hello dear friend. There once was a time, but I survived. The wound left a scar but I healed. This was written then and is just a memory now.. Thank you for reading and caring🌼

    • This is packed with so much emotion. It’s as if I could feel what you’re feeling.
      Keep moving, keep trying, don’t let anyone tell you you’re not worth it.
      Thank you for sharing this.

      • Thank you. Love is breathtaking, even in its failure. It was once a.long walk in the dark but I awoke, and now I breath again.

    Real

    Real A dark ship on a dark night of soul Suddenly alight with Lights. Music starting to play Shadows beginning to sway Every soul having a Say. Vibrating into The skies. Everyone dies but But now everyone lives with daily rations of Passion. Breaking through ceilings with Thoughts & Feelings. To think to feel To be: Real ***Cipher Poems ***

    • Damian, I sense nuances of a spiritual battle. This made me think. I love this.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. There was in a sense, the inner conflict that goes on inside my head. The proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. dark, etc. I think we all have a spiritual battle going on inside, as well as in the world. That’s just my opinion though. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was a belief of mine when I wrote a lot of my lyrics, I always wanted a glimmer of hope to hold on to. Appreciate you.

    • I swear, you’re able to write in a way that it’s like you’re writing my thoughts or feelings. There’s an undercurrent of spiritual searching in this that I think could be a finding of self. Which is about the deepest of spiritual journeys we can undertake. It feels brooding but with light glimmering through it. Truly gifted you are, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. I told you, we’re kindred spirits, we think and feel very similar on a lot of issues. It was spiritual, I was always searching for my identity, I knew I didn’t know everything at that time. Mistakes would be made, but I wanted to understand why humans hurt each other, why I got bullied in school, I wanted answers. And not some flimsy excuse being substituted for truth. I always instinctively would put glimmers of light in my lyrics, because deep down I still tried to have hope. It’s really hard to do since I’m pessimistic by nature. lol. This was the one song I thought could have been a hit. I mean big hit, gives me goosebumps good. Joey G, always called this song, “The Ace Up His Sleeve” hit. If needed he’d always say. Had a little Lindsey Buckingham vibe. Personally, I’ve grown to believe over time that it was a carrot to dangle. That was deep… Thank you for such an awesome compliment. Appreciate you.
