    Styles clash often in writing Collaborations take chemistry  Ego’s can lead to infighting Often shrouded within mystery   When successful it’s grand  Playing to each others strengths Turning glass back into sand Always going to great lengths   Bad vibes will lead to disaster Resorting in Kamikaze antics  Mind starts spinning...

    • This is a brilliant and honest look at the collaborative process. You perfectly capture the tension and the beauty of it. The line “Turning glass back into sand” is an amazing image for the way things come together.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I love that line as well. Appreciate you.

    • Collaborations are a dance in a way. Got to read your partner. It’s tricky to get magic but when it works it’s beautiful.

      Great ink friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a dance, that can be magical indeed. Appreciate you.

    • I remember you from the ember DU days (daze?) but our paths never crossed. You were always so encouraging and supportive of fellow comrades. That is an art in itself. Keep writing fella.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Ghosteen. So glad our paths finally crossed then, nice meeting you my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite! Appreciate you.

    • Great and beautifully written reflections, dear Damian! I agree, the collaboration process is an art itself. Different writing styles collide, and if they are harmonic, the result will read like penned with one ink. When the styles are very different, maybe a piece of abstract art will be created. The diversity of possible collaborations makes them beautiful and interesting!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree with you totally, it is like a dance of sorts. But it is a magical process. Appreciate you.

    • Even Lennon and McCartney couldn’t get along in the end. Collaborations are famous throughout history. But sometimes ideas go in different directions, ego’s overtake, and animosity takes over. It can be sad, very sad when things fall apart.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That is true, a lot of duo’s grow apart. People can grow apart over time. Addiction, sobriety, faith, and starting families all have an effect on the collective relationship. It can be sad, indeed. Appreciate you.

    • Friends drift apart. As you mentioned in your last comment. Also we just change. Many things we don’t enjoy or like from when we were kids or teenagers. Keeping a friend or two from your youth though is important. I feel it’s the bridge to a life that was a simpler, more meaningful time. We grow old, but the kid inside never dies. Great write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Very true, time itself changes people. I’m connected with my inner child. lol. Appreciate you.

    • I always find collaborating incredibly intimidating. How to find a balance where both voices carry equal weight? Some styles are more dominating & others more gentle. But I’ve seen jarringly different styles woven beautifully in a single piece. I love the glass back to sand metaphor. Deconstructing to its base element. All comes from the same beach, as it were. The places your pen travels, my friend…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. My favorite line! It’s a dance for sure, sometimes teetering on the brink of disaster, only to be saved at the last possible moment of the grand finale. At least that’s my experience with the whole process. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I have been asked many times but even though I am occasionally tempted, I have always tended to shy away .. having said that, I have a great deal of admiration for anyone who chooses to go down that particular poetic and or storytelling route & gets something out of it other than enjoyment or a headache .. I imagine that here you have given this particular reader something to think about long after the curtain has been drawn .. Kindest regards to both you n your pen Damian .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve collaborated in songwriting, not as much on poetry, though I’ve done a few. It’s a dance basically, and chemistry plays a big part. But it’s a cool experience, never say never my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • It’s an remarkable article in favor of all the online people; they will obtain advantage from it I am sure.

    The Great Deceiver

    Fueled by a consuming rage Pointed at every situation  As I fall into the final stage Right before the initiation Locked inside self-torment  Wiggling out of the noose Keeping all the spirits dormant Until madness is busting loose   Pressure building within me Anger clouding all that I see   Face...

    • Oh yeah, this one definitely needs a place on the album! I hope it’s coming along well! The halls are a bit echo-ey without you wandering them as often, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s going, though it took a while to get my “Logic Pro” software. Which allows me to mix better and I can even master my music with it. But, I got a song mapped out structurally, I have lyrics for everything but the bridge. Which I just came up with that bridge tonight. Gotta record vocals, and backing vocals next. Hopefully, I’ll be letting you hear it soon. I miss you too, my friend. You’ve been penning some excellent work my friend. Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I get the sense of internal conflict, and the rhythm and urgency make it clear these are lyrics meant to be performed.

      The energy builds perfectly toward the chorus: “Face to face with destiny…” I especially like the line “Loyal to the art of betrayal” – it’s a great, concise piece of wordplay.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I love that line as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • More great lyrics, Damian. Very heavy stuff. I hope to hear the music someday.

        Damian

    • Second stanza, first line, did you mean “you’re”?

      The repetition really works. And the shield me stanza is so clever and just rolls off the tongue.
      Good, good piece of writing.
      j.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Jacob. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Yes, I did mean “you’re” nice catch. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • The interesting thing about this one is that, depending on how it’s read, it could be a woman or an addiction. Very clever use of words here, my friend!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Nice catch, you’re on the right path. It has a lot of meanings to me as well. This is the song I’m currently putting music to. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Some people shy away from a poem that’s composed of rhyme. I’ve always felt that there’s a finesse to it that has to be refined like a piece of art. You have that quality. It speaks volumes, Damian!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Kelly. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. What a lovely comment, so kind of you. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • The lyrics are so lovely, I feel the intensity of the emotions…the push and pull, the thrill and the ache. and the repeated chorus of “sweet novocain” lingers like a haunting, addictive melody. I’d love to hear you sing this. It’s beautiful

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Well vocally I’m doing my best, I’m not the greatest singer. lol. I’ll share the song when it’s complete. Thanks so much for your support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I like that it has multiple meanings, I always dig those kind of writes. Bon Jovi style, that’s a unique way of putting it, but
      I like it. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I sense there is more to this than presently meets the eye .. Good luck with production .. I suspect it will do well ..
      Neville 😎👍
