Or… the dude could have been a serial killer, and you missed out on a painful death. If Ted Bundy had been wandering around my campus when I was in school, just damn. I’d have jumped on that Volkswagen gearshift in a heartbeat.

I get you, though. Missed opportunity. It’s tough when you’re a girl. Guys think you’re being too assertive, but they always miss the signals.

Like Damian stated, I also found this powerful. Not everyone can make it to the summit for whatever reasons, but your analogy here is strong.
Nicely penned.

Great title

Pleasure journey

BIG LIKE

Love this piece Damian. Well written my friend.

I read the title, the summary &…my jaw still dropped when I started reading the actual poem! Ya turnin’ up the heat in here, my friend!

Side note, when I started my hand at erotica, I was so self-conscious that I created an alternate account on DUP to hide behind while I worked out how & what my erotic voice sounds like. I remember you saying you always worry it sounds corny…absolutely nothing corny about your erotica, my friend! 🔥

I like this style of erotica.

damn. excellent write.

Oh, you’re a boy with a beat, Damian. I can feel it. Music all over it.
“All the worries give way to pleasure” – got the Marvin Gay “Sexual Healing” going on.
You can be my ‘Repeat Offender’ any time.

This was from an inspiration. Very well done and had all the right elements. Love it. ;))

Beautiful ink. Very visual. Thank you for sharing.

Powerfully penned, Nick. Trying to find hope in a valley of despair, I’ve been there my friend. Appreciate you.

I wrote the original many years ago. I think I was just wanting to write more inspirational poetry. Though with this one I wrote it and didn’t really like it, then I reworked it and released it on DUP, still didn’t like it. I reworked it again now and I kinda like it haha.

I always feel blessed to see you my friend. Many hugs for you 🤗 🤗 🤗

Dammit, I wish I could bookmark this! From beginning to end, you had me. This one is deep. Life takes bites outta our ass everyday. To be able to recognize it’s easier as a collective…it’s huge. Community is the gold we actually need

This is like Beat Poetry. Inspirational and powerful. There are so many amazing lines. I love this one..

“always looking for forgiveness
finding out no one’s hands are clean
in this red room we call life”

Everyone is on the same playing field and no one’s voice should be more important than your own.

Powerfully penned, Nick. There is a burden to always being truthful, and caring enough to want the world to do better. It’s that we open up our hopeful expectations to possible and sometimes certain disappointment. Hang in there my friend. I felt this write. Appreciate you.

Ooof, this is like looking in a mirror. It took me far longer than I like to contemplate to figure out what you’re saying here. 🙌

I like the empathy you mention, the understanding that everyone is entitled to their opinion because experiences are different. We so rarely consider that there is universal truth, and then there are the personal truths as unique as the people who own them.
