    • hello dearest Drieks this is one of your best in my opinion the climate out there is daunting… it worries me everyday I’m too old to change things in the eighties when I was young it was all about the money I don’t know if things have changed great write ❤️

      • Thank you Crimsin ❤️ I wrote most of this piece years ago and it saddens me that nothing has changed. If anything, it has gotten worse. I really appreciate your kind words.

    • The opening line= “Can we agree to disagree” I gave you head nod on that. This is so beautiful.

    • Thank you so much 💕
      I hope to keep expressing myself through this medium for a long time. And I’ll never forget who to thank for it 😉

    • You’re writing some very strong pieces Lady that are truly depicting that status of our current world. Please continue pushing your powerful words Lady

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent write, you’re a gifted lyricist my friend. Love the choice of Reggae to paint the background for your amazing words my friend. Such a truthful message about the state of the world. Appreciate you.

      • Hey Damian! Can you believe I spent hours fitting these lyrics to punk rock??
        And then my sister was listening to a reggae song on her phone and that changed my mind instantly. I personally love the way it sounds as it is now.

        Thank you for your kind words Damian. I won’t forget your support.

    • Another strong piece, my friend. I am so glad Her introduced us. I listen to you often (I even read the words! — and they are alway truthful and necessary).

      I am so glad your sister wasn’t listening to a polka; this song would have a very different vibe. Brrr!

      • Thank you FD! It means a lot.
        Haha, Polka… No worries, I do have my limits!

    • This is fantastic. Keep on, keeping on.

      But, you’ve learned the trick of keeping the ghostly treat of love’s forever haunting passion vibrantly alive, and what better than a beautifully laid Senryu to share it all with us in such a sweet way … maybe, a lover’s spell will be cast, returning “him” to your warming, tear-filled heart and arms.

    Mr. Blue Eyes

    Years ago I was homeless at age 23. I panhandled and prostituted myself to stay alive in the streets of Springfield. It wasn't until towards the end that my guardian angel swept me off my feet… One late night, cold...

    Your Flickering Piety

    My muse, my cloak - when you’re here beside me, Think of these shadows you cast upon me, out of a smothered light Are forbidden pleasures of yours as much as can be. Like a glove you love to wrap me within...

    Nightfall Embrace

    Dawn in your waking eyes, dusk in your dying eyes. Our eyelids peel in daybreak and embrace in nightfall.   There was an aurora of tears in your dusking eyes. Now a velvety blackness behind those fallen eyelids.   Now a death-like still in those tear-wells. Now a life-like rush in bulging...
