Chère F.,
A subtle prayer
A declaration of love
Is all that I am
Thinking of….

You are a class of/on your own (what do I know of your language?)

And this question answer format is a beautiful find.
Needless to say I love it to bits.
Warm regards, Gus

This reminds me of classic poetry from the early 1900’s. It has that feel and language. Nice one,, Fia.

This is such a sigh-worthy piece. I think most of us embark on that journey with these hopes. For some, it lasts. For others…not so much. I love the fierce optimism in this one

Fia, this is a jubilant celebration of love that you paint with lyrical wonder. I enjoyed this so much my heart sang as I read. You really made me so happy reading this tonight. I am rejoicing through the magic of your poetic and loving poem of an eternal flame that cannot be extinguished.

Well done and beautiful work

It is a bit musical. I wish for a better day, each and every day. That deer lost in headlights is so true

I agree.

Thank you for putting it into words so eloquently.

Got my foot tapping away from the off to the end and back again .. Nice one too sir . Neville

Damian the fire in the eyes of those zealous followers of the pied piper elevated to guru status is painted in your poem with fire and smoke. Truly a smoking great poem that is as strong emotionally as it is rhythmically. You have real talent my friend.

John

I felt this all the way… nice poem

Passionately penned, S. Excellent write with precise imagery my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Damian

A sensual masterpiece of mesmerizing sensuality. Just loved this my friend. You really lit the midnight torches for me here.

You know some people never grow up and feel that the other person is always the one that is wrong. This is definitely on point.

I had to chuckle reading the intro. I have a friend who used to say “Stop being younger than me, dammit!”

Reading through the poem I was struck by how powerful it is in its subtlety. You say so much without skirting closer than the edges, stirring thought and almost forcing eye contact with the subject. Apathetic, sadistic narcissist. That’s the person this speaks of…but those terms should be in all caps, I think. Another thought provoking, spot on piece, my friend

Such a relevant write… well done dear poet

Sometimes you just can’t understand the motives of people and why they do what they do…why they act the way they do. George Carlin said don’t give a shit about anything. At times, that’s good advice.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Empathy is important to morality and also it’s the guiding light of my observations of the world. It can be frustrating witnessing that there are some folks out there who don’t seem to have any empathy in them. So naturally as a writer I write about those kinda things. Appreciate you.

Damian

Well happy birthday then, Damian. You don’t look a day older than yesterday!
Your rhymes are on point, sir. The message obviously, too. But, shouldn’t you be writing about something epic from your birthday?! LOL. It’s a milestone every year, is it not?

I feel every word of this.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Damian you write the theme of selling the soul for wealth with the perfect rhythm to carry the banner of your message with striking power and superb song writing. I love what you do with words.

John

This is deeply inspiring, tempered with sagacious wisdom…making keen observations
without accusations. Using poetry as a crossbow is indeed your expertise, bro

Much respect

Hello 👋 Damien this is really deep,
I unfortunately am living with someone like this who is constantly blaming me for everything and takes no responsibility for his actions.

Thanks for sharing this.
