    She Pinched Each Candleflame One By One

    It was slow, agonizingly slow!When every candleflame that showshow you pulse with spirit and life,is pinched out by the very fingersof someone who once loved you! Love lost brought a cold, dark wick. Some smoke still sputters in defiance!Could that...

    • I missed this one, Daniel. You express yourself so well.
      I’ve been there. Yes, I write about love, but the fact is that I’ve hardened my heart so no one can hurt me.

    Boring

    Am I the world's most boring man..?My shadow has left out of boredom.Time yawns when I enter a room.Rivers flow uphill to avoid me,and plants fake their own demise.Am I the worlds most boring man..?I rot without the courtesy...

    • It doesn’t sound content; it sounds more like you’re resigned to it. I don’t think you’re boring.

    • You’re anything but boring. You know that. I understand what you meant in your comment to Fia. I shun that endless stimulation too. I don’t need it.
      I enjoy your writing.

      • Thanks Alexandria…

        It’s quite a hard gig standing your ground these days.If you don’t play the game you get called antisocial or the fun police or a killjoy.Small price to pay for being interesting…😘

    • at least you are content to be yourself I go to lengths just to get away from self part of me drives me crazy 💕I think I might be split personality I can hear internal voices that drive me mad sometimes….

    There stood God

    Worry endlessly draining the soul out of me. Trying to make room for my acceptance to be free. And there stood God....hearing my prayer and not answering. Girl you have to walk this walk alone. I will not talk...

    Her Bridge

    It was the good old stone bridge.It was made of stone and iron, and a door unhinge.On it were growing all sorts of vines. And couples would take pictures there during good times.Families would travel past the bridge.And the vines...

    Smokescreen

    Wild beasts surround a lonely soul Corrupting them with broken promises  What they offer makes nothing whole The world filled with doubting Thomas’s   Low hanging fruit another money grab Indoctrinated into this hateful machine  It takes footwork to slip their subtle jab Critical thinking reveals a...

    • I will continue to say those who believe the lies do so for their own corrupt reasons. Which begs the question…who is worse? The chief liars or those who choose to believe because it suits their agendas? I’ve lost friends & family to this current state of the world. Eyes wide open, mind wider. It’s the only way to make it through. Another solid write, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s truly a cult in my opinion, when no matter how much truth is revealed, they continue to follow. I don’t think most wanna see, or they actually like what the world is becoming. That’s how I see it, always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
