ooo… this is good … very sensual and intense

Chère G.,
Come close, a better and more inviting intro has not be written so far.
What a beauty you’ve made.

And the final four sentences are the cherry on the cake.
Love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus

Gus, what a lovely thing to say. I’m so glad the opening drew you in, and the ending stayed with you. Thank you for reading so thoughtfully and for your wonderfully warm words. 🙂

A bit towards the apocalypse in its foretelling, yeah? I also get a “War Pigs” vibe as well (Black Sabbath).
Excellent rhyme scheme as well. Great write Damian.

Wow, one more of your excellent, intense and thought provoking right things, dear Damien! Especially the last verse speaks to me a lot. World most people consider God as all seeing eye that is watching and judging us, all sing that UI energy is just experiencing itself, manifested and the form of a human being. So it is entirely up to us what to do with our lives. Personally, I think it is best to listen to our heart and to our intuition. Why won’t lead us a stray.

That is so true time is a trap it does not go back

Ohh there is so much in this piece. What got me it I wore the ancestors of these jeans…Damn what a line.

Fine, it’s a tie. LOL.
We’re pretty good at mutual stuff…

Hello Damian.
Yeah, why not a praying mantis. I think they are cool as hell actually. Ever since I saw my first one as a kid, as it was eating a caterpillar like a piece of corn on the cob, I’ve been amazed by them. Little green demons, lol.
Thank you much, too, for the nod.

Dude, I have a lot of scars! And several tatts, ahem. -Been quite the life. Nowadays all is mostly mellow and I am thankful for it!
And you can jack my title. When I thought of it a couple of weeks ago, I told Del that I gotta use it somewhere! This write is the result.
Thank you much, Peter.

Amazing writing, dear Styxian. So authentic and pure! Scars are a sign that life has been lived. And I think that prayers never remain unanswered. But often we realize not before many times has passed, in which way the answer has manifested in our lives.

The funny thing is, (well, not funny exactly!), is I have had so many misfortunes over the years. I used to look at it as bad luck. Yet then, perhaps the fact that I have got this far in pretty decent shape overall, it’s always been secretly good luck to make it through.
And hey, it’s good to see you around again! Good writers like you should be more frequent!

congrats Thomas on your book

Well designed write about a situation that we all can relate to. The anguish is well described here. We feel it.
Well done, Thomas.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Another excellent write with incredible storytelling my friend. Congrats, on the book. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Damian
