    Bleed To Breathe

    I let myself bleed to breathe. I write out what I need to… Allowing myself to be lacerated by the world's harsh judgments, however, as I bleed, I begin to breathe!   Ink bleeds out of my wounds onto the page, and I transcribe what...

    • hello dearest Danile this is fantastic always be yourself and I will to 💕

      • Brenda, your comment makes me want to ask you to write a piece yourself with the same title! I’m curious and I’m sure I would love what you would create!

        Daniel

        • it’s funny I wrote a poem called breathe after you and before I saw yours we are on the same wavelength 😊

    • Your writing goes under my skin. Intense as if it was really written with heart blood. Perfectly written, Daniel!

      • Vielen Dank, Elka! Fühlst du mein Schreiben unter deiner Haut? Das bedeutet, dass ich das erreicht habe, was ich mir hier gesetzt habe! You should see what I see behind my eyes so I can write like this! Hahaha!

        Tschüss!

    Obscure

    The joker’s always grinning He’s grinning at your pain Negative vibes are spinning Taking root inside your brain   A wicked sin turns violent When it’s got nothing pure Cold stare remaining silent Preferring to remain obscure      Copyright @ Damian DeadLove 2024

    • Nice rhythm love the joker in batman creation

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Joker, is pure madness. lol. Funny enough the first two lines came from lyrics to an old song that J.J. Burton and I wrote together. The rest of the words weren’t up to par. But always loved those first two lines. Appreciate you.

    • Why so serious? Lol 🃏
      But seriously, this is very good, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Such an iconic Joker line. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s not really about the Joker, to be truthful. The first two lines are from an old song that was just a silly song that J.J. Burton and I penned the words to in like 1993. But I always liked the first two lines, so I just wrote something else to them. He mentioned the Joker because he was a fan, and I just used that to make the first two lines. lol. A little backstory for you, I always ramble on. lol. Appreciate you.

    • hello dearest Damian I really liked this one I guess the joker would kind of be Lucifer always laughing at peoples pain really your poem rocks as they do anyway 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think the joker could be Lucifer, but I was also thinking that darker side we all have inside. Really it could apply to any form of a personal demon, different to each person. Sorry for rambling. lol. Appreciate you.

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

        Damian

    • The first thought I have is a person or boss egging you on while you struggle.or just being smug. Laughing at your pain kinda thing.

      Great ink, friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s also a possibility, it could kinda be that person that’s a thorn in my side. Great commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • As usual, I may be reading this wrong. But I’m feeling a sense of apathy is just as deadly as hate/evil. Those who don’t speak up for others, give their silence as a voice to the bullies. It definitely has my mind going, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I can see that, you always have cool insight to the meaning, always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
