    • I am reading and I will do my best to get eyes on the creatives. Being a creative person is never easy, but it is a necessity in my eyes.

      • Art is always subjective but I think losing DUP was a big hit to us poets. But I really hope to see more friendly faces here. I think once people get the hang of things they would see it’s even better.

        I try to do my part as well but life is busy these days.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Well I was hooked from the first line, where does poetry go when it dies? I guess into oblivion to exist but be unseen and unheard. It’s crazy how we have so devalued and under appreciated art in any of its true forms when the world we live in now screams all the things that should make it thrive.

      • Devalued is pretty much everything now. It’s sad, but maybe one day things will come around. I mean if vinyls can make a comeback, why not?

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Mic Drop! Excellent write, Nick. Appreciate you.

    • I will never surrender my ink! We’re not dying. We’re simply finding pockets of safety in a world gone mad. If I could put this on my reading list, I would…twice. Damn…

      • A very mad world these days. Which honestly with as many opinions people have you think they would want to write poetry instead of tweets.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    We Need To Feel Pain

    To outgrow any weakness, we have to first feel the pain and the embarrassment it brings.   We remember how it feels and we replay those awful images and we learn to coexist with nightmares.

    • Interestingly, being weak on something doesn’t mean you’re not strong. It is just for that one thing that we have to learn from.

    • There’s definitely a lot of truth in this, but also everything in moderation. Becoming fixated on things won’t make you better, just neurotic.

    • Nice writing Daniel.

      Thinking is the root cause of all our suffering…. we can’t stop thinking but we can stop long enough to watch the mind.

    Silent Desire

    I don’t crave this.I haven’t in years.And yet…he’s here, asking, practically begging; againGod dammit, tonight, I’m relenting.I stood, aggressively reaching under my nighty.  “Is this what you fucking want?!”   With my thumbs,  I quickly shoved my panties down to...

    • INTENSE. sexy and entirely enticing. Overwhelmingly sense worthy. through yourwords I gasped, moaned and shuttered for you. . I too want to let myself feel and be felt. Mine, this.is my all time favorite. It is so so rare that I lay upon another’s inviting calligraphy . It takes a lot for me to be submerged, you did just that.

      (()Fuck yes!))) love it. scarred beautifully by it and that controlling ting oooiuuff.. .gods
      yes i.said a lot but well deserved

    • Even though she was in control, it seems that she is angry. She needed this, and of course, it would be with him, but she is furious that she had to cave into her own body’s desires. Good write

    If You Let Me

    I don’t know if you love me anymore.But I know I love you—and I still lust for you.Even after all these years,after the weight we’ve both carried,after the silence between us.I want you.I don’t know how to begin,as if...
