    • They are usually the reason we ever learned what longing means.. and the reason we write about it… beautiful

    • This is so excellent. I’m really glad I read it, thanks for posting.

      This particular stanza didn’t read smooth. If I may suggest…

      That towel, is drawn tight
      to guard her beauty.
      His hands still remember
      the soft curve shapes of her lovely breasts,
      the gentle hollow where shadows meet.

      Great writing.

      • Thanks for reading, and for your thoughtful analysis,Tim. I appreciate your constructive criticism very much.

    • Incredible ink .. and so perfectly spilled ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

    • Such lava!
      The artwork is incredible! The write of course is so your style of unique phrasing. Clever wording to go with the picture, well, vice versa. Your talent is showing!

    • Wow… I really like this Adelphina.
      It’s like you picked me up at the start and wasn’t going to put me down untill I finished it. And I’m glad you did. Amazing.

      • I’m glad you enjoyed! The whole reason artists make art is to move people.
        Whether through words, art, or music. I’m glad to have payed it forward since you do the same for us here
        on the site:). Thank you for stopping by!

    • Very good… the art … the words … everything you do is very good as usual

      • Hi Sam!
        Thank you for that. Means a lot, seriously:)
        I started taking digital art classes last year and this one was extra special to me so I thought I’d share.
        Venturing into uncharted territory has its benefits!

        Thanks again!

    • beautiful word choices and artwork lovely Adelphina ❤️

      • Hello lovely:)

        I’m so happy you enjoyed. Made my evening seeing you on my page chica!
        It’s been an amazing experience learning new ways to express myself.
        Thank you for stopping by!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend and the artwork compliments it nicely. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Damien, amigo! Thank you!
        This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
        The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
        Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.

        But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
        Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)

    • The poetry & artwork gel so wonderfully here. Marvelously written Adelphina.

      • Hey there! Poetry and artwork is my new jam!
        Now it’s all I think about. lol
        What would be something cool to make to accompany my poem!
        I brainstorm to get ideas then get started.
        Takes longer but I don’t mind.

        Thanks for stopping by
        I’m super happy you enjoyed!

    • I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

      • Hey Tim!

        Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
        With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
        And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
        Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
        I’m glad you enjoyed!

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Powerful imagery. Superb work.

    • Hi Thomas.
      Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed:)

    • There’s absolutely nothing about this whole page that isn’t magical and I love it so ..

      p.s. I’ve been to Pompeii several times and understand entirely where you & those moths are coming from .. 😎🦋🦋👍

      • Hi Nev,
        Thank you for that. Means a lot amigo. I can’t even imagine how it must have felt like, being there in person.
        The fact that their remains are still in tact and have not broken down is astounding to me.

        Thank you for stopping by!

    • You a more than welcome .. my pleasure entirely .. 😎

    • This is pure art in motion. I could just lose myself in the beauty of your poem. I was mesmerized by the impressionist wonder within your poem. A real gem to read tonight.

      John

      • Hi John,

        Thank you for that. Love the words impressionist wonder. With this piece I wanted to give some light even when everything feels so helpless. I’m happy you enjoyed the read.

        Thanks for stopping by!

    • These words look so pretty when pinned to the page like this .. and the message they make up, has that for real flavour to it .. its never easy tho to quit or get clean tho’ is it .. Bravo for sharing these insights .. just keep taking it one day at a time and write on .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with write my friend. No, it’s never easy. It’s a voice that lingers in the voids of my mind. Slow and steady wins the race, so I’ve heard. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I spotted the songs hidden within. Yeah, I’ve been lucky being I never participated in alcohol or drugs. They were everywhere but I declined and I’m glad for it.

      You’re a courageous guy for being able to go through that and come out sane. (and a great writer). I’ve known people who couldn’t do it and spiraled into oblivion. Good on you, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m glad you declined as well, you looked temptation in the face and didn’t bend. Oh, I spiraled into oblivion brother. But somehow managed to crawl out of the abyss. I was lucky, not everyone finds the way out. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • You’re a marvelous writer Damian. This is well written and quite honest. Great work!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a reward to get second chance, but it was important for me to understand why and how I became so addicted in the first place. I understand me better now, I’ve even slowly started to like myself a little. lol. That’s my true transformation my friend. Appreciate you.

    • My best friend from middle school has been sober for over 17 years. I’m so proud of her.
      It took her pound of flesh though. Completely different person when drunk. Mean, violent, and in all honesty sometimes sad.
      No one wakes up in the morning and says I want to be an alcoholic. The struggle was real and I am so thankful she got sober.
      Hang in there and tell the voices to shut the hell up. You got this. One day at a time.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Indeed, no one wakes up wanting to be an alcoholic. Sometimes the pound of flesh doesn’t come all at once anyhow, the older I get the effects show up more mentally and physically. As I’ve said many times, “No one comes out of addiction unscathed.” I was a different person as well, it brought out my bad qualities. Glad your friend got clean, one day at a time. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Superb. You nailed it, my friend.

    • Hauntingly raw and beautifully concise — each line cuts deep with emotional clarity and poetic rhythm. Appreciate you, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Your commentary means a lot to me. Appreciate you, Paulo.

        Damian

    • I’ve always felt that if you’re still going…even limping…you’re not broken. You’re fractured. Those fractures heal with aches same as breaks, we both know that. You are fierce in your approach to truth, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I tend to go for the jugular when it comes to truth. lol. Fractured huh? I like the way you broke that down my friend. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • When it comes to the heart matters it is always difficult, very difficult to separate the feelings from the mind and make sense of everything… Unfortunately, sometimes we learn in the hard and painful way, and sometimes we need years to completely get over it and grow, the pain is real here, well written my friend.

    • It is very bewitching. When he tells you to stay calm so his monster does not come out. nice

      • hello lovely Fia he told me last night after I posted my poem he said he knows I am capable of this mischief but he prefers my softer side…I asked him further about his varied sides and he says it’s all in what side I provoke will I get from him thank you for reading and commenting ❤️

    • Crimsin, both tender and fiery this poem is. He tries to elicit your soft side but his true nature brings out the lioness. Great poem as I have come to expect from you.

      John
