    • This had me moving. The riff is good, and the music went well with it.

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. You’re an incredible lyricist my friend. Your arrangements always fit your words tightly. Excellent work.. Appreciate you.

    • Oh Lordy! You’ve done it again.
      It’s like you know what melody/hook to use depending on the tone of the lyrics.
      Where to emphasize your message. I listened to this when you posted but didn’t know how to reply.
      I was at a loss of words! That is rare! Hahaha
      Much respect chica!
      Keep killing it!

      • Thank you Adelphina! It’s a lot of trial and error but I warms my heart to hear people appreciate it. I’ll keep at it and hope to keep improving along the way. Have a wonderful day!

    • Thank you! ❤️

    • You’re a beast at this thing Lady, to freaking Tight

    • This i awesome. I somehow talked Fia into getting a Spoken Word group going (actually, I kind of bamboozled her into it). HER wants to join and she suggested we get Willow and you as well. After listening to this, I feel really out of my league. I’m a lifelong entertainer, but mostly in theater. When I started writing for performance, I had no music, just me, so that’s what I’ve been doing. But you would bring some real class to the group, and if we do this right, we can build something outstanding for all of us. Interested?

    • Hey, what happened to the audio? I sent a link to this page to a friend and he told me no song was here, so I came back — and it’s gone! Please put it back.

      • Apparently because of an update on the site, all audio on all posts got removed sadly. I hope I have time tomorrow to upload the audio again on all my songs.

        In the meantime you can listen to the songs on my YouTube channel if you’d like: youtube.com/@Drieks

        • That I would like. So tell me, would you like to join the Spoken Word Group? You would be a very welcome member, and I think we can all benefit from each other.

    With No Hint of An End

    With No Hint of An EndThese words may have no beginning,but they bounceand echo loud, around the labyrinthsof the self-same shell  they were first each imprisoned in ..Fine words they are tooand when whispered soft, might bemistaken for the sea,or the wind,...

    • This is so tender
      Favorite part is how you ended it

      “with not one hint

      of a beginning, no signs of a

      middle nor trace of an imminent end even”

    • “These words may have no beginning”… they have no end either… Enchanting, captivating, breathtaking… passionate as only how passion should be. this is a masterpiece of poetry and love, though the reader smiles as they read, yet it pulls a tender tear from the heart, a tear of love. Mr. Ken would be joyous reading this. beyond gorgeous….

      • Many thanks my very dearest of literary friends .. Please excuse my delayed response, I have been a bit busy of late and am still stumbling near blindly around this delightful website .. p.s. am glad you smile so favourably upon this little scribble and hope that Mr. Simm would similarly approve .. Kindest of regards & with wishes for all good things, Your friend, ME 🙂

    • Beautifully penned, Neville. A very delicate write my friend. Excellent work.. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • After reading the comments above, what could I possibly say? Hopefully, and it’s not just my wishful thinking it is the end part that is “real”. But that middle should be “real” as well. Damn Neville, your poem makes the reader (me) hope it is all “real” (and yes, even the fantasy parts!!) The sum of all these parts is: I loved reading your poem, Neville!!!!!!!!!
