    The Shadow of My Fire

    The shadow I cast at night, is that of my soul on fire.   The shadows of my passion, cast onto the faces of others.   The shadow of a tall flame, one that rises the more it consumes.   The shadows within… cast themselves...

    Gazing Into Our Sunset

    Are we gazing into the mere moments we have left? Not into each other's eyes, rather into the only time we have left? Rather than moments, let's gaze on into many years ahead! When we’re old and still in-love…

      • Damian, I am most grateful for your seeing into the layers within this piece. And also very grateful for your appreciation of the imagery and storytelling in my poem. I appreciate you too, very much.

    • Tremendous work. Powerful and vivid. Excellent.

      • Thank you so much Thomas. Very much appreciated your observations on my poem. Very grateful.

    • This is so worth reading. The grittiness and inner searching, as well as a lonely desire dresses this up nice. I get a real California children of the night feel to this. So well done. Great poem.

      Did you mean as he combs her golden tresses?

      • Thank you so much Tim. You did see into the heart of my poem with a keen insight into its meaning. Love your words here. You have brought joy into my night. And yes I did indeed meaning he combs. Thank you so much for pointing that out. You really helped a lot with that. Have a great night.

    Evolution

    In my mind's subconscious  There was a peaceful calmness Then life's reality crept upon us Dark thoughts haunting and ominous    The horizon once clear and endless But loved one's deaths left me senseless From this heartache I am defenseless  Alone in this world now friendless   My confused...
