    • I can hear the ring of youthful sorrow, for sure. Even then your writing was excellent, my friend. Talent is apparently timeless.

    • I sense the merging of poetry and song .. it seems even back then you had something of a golden pen sir D .. Neville 😎👍

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was one of those writes that I knew I had something good, but I never considered myself a poet in those days, I was a lyric writer and engulfed fully into songwriting at that moment in my life. I always believed a lyricist wasn’t on the same level as a poet. Even, Bob Dylan, one of the best lyricist’s of all time has never considered himself a poet. I think a little differently these days. lol. Appreciate you.

    • DAMN! If this is your 1st poem, this is excellent. Has a lyrical flow. Nicely said my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was one of the first for sure, maybe even number one. I was a lyricist first at the time in my life. There were a couple different poems I penned in 96. I just put the year on my writes back then, anyhow there were a couple of poems scattered throughout my lyric book. Back when everything was handwritten. lol. I was just always pulled to rereading this one a lot. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Damian your poem is as lyrical as it is deep. The idea of fear as a lover is a brilliant metaphor and I could really hear the melody of your words. Loved the creative flow here that took me into an exquisitely unfolding song.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, John. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s the idea of fear as a lover that always draws me back to this write as well. One of my better ideas. Glad you enjoyed the journey. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was what was so cool about it to me as well. “Fear as a lover.” Spot on my friend, Right back at you.. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • What a splendid start of your poetic work, dear Damian! Fear as lover is an impressive and convincing personification. Like a lover, fear can accompany us until it becomes part of us. Your talent from a young age on is undeniable. Great work, my friend!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You hit the nail on the head with your commentary, it was one of my better ideas I’ll admit. Thank you for your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • The darkness is shown, but it’s the kind of darkness that fills the silence and quietness after a sweep of pain. there is numbness and there is the teenage intense feelings and his mind, the mind that feels that no one understands him. This reminds me with Nirvana.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Light. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You are so spot on with that analysis, I really enjoyed your commentary and feedback my friend. I felt all those things you mentioned in my life when I penned this one. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • There are those who say we have to overcome our fear. I contend that it serves a purpose…and we move despite it. I will shamelessly admit that life has left me half terrified of my own shadow. But I’m still chugging along and doing the things. This was a brilliant piece. I’m not sure I would call it dark though. Maybe smudged around the edges? First poem? Damn, my friend…

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do think fear has a purpose as well. I’m an overly cautious human myself, I don’t seek out confrontation, in fact I try to avoid it. But sometimes it is necessary to face one’s fears. Maybe a little grey around the edges. lol. It was definitely one of the first, if not number one. Appreciate you.

    • Soul excavation and spiritual reset. That’s how this reads to me. You’ve never been one to shy away from your shadows.

      • Reconciliation, redemption and restitution…words from a much earlier poem [circa 2012]
        that stayed with me and laid the foundation for this vibe. You have always gotten me, Willow
        And I am forever appreciative.

        Much respect
