Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. Life often feels like a constant circle to me, everything eventually comes back around. This write made me think of that again, so thank you. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

Thanks Damian for your considered comment.
I try not to over complicate or force my writing.A thought just arrives ( at strange moments) that needs to be explored.

Read MoreI look into your tear-some eyes with profundity. I scout with a penetrating gaze and see your realm of watery graves. Those eyes of yours are the gates, beyond the reeking eyes is an abysmal mind. The anguish welled within, there I meet you to bathe...

Read MoreUnder the winter day’s whispery glow, all is quiet here. This is my shattering. No more hymns of breath. Just waiting beside my tombstone. Dressed wildly in vines of time. Had you been a ghost too, would you have noticed me? Must death be the only way? Bound now...
