    Tears of Sorrows

    I send my consciousness to the edge of outer space Looking down upon all of this From a higher place Place of a poet Place of poetry Place above loud- clouds, vapors& whispersPlace to place all thoughts& Cares. Placed there for the there-there. When the bomb falls in a song or psalm and folks tell folks. There-thereThe...

    The Proverbial Middle Finger

    Death clouds irritate a parched skyHuman parasites feast on liquid goldDismantled a dream with a blatant lieWorld keeps falling as hate takes hold Onward towards the spiritual divideImpossible to sit on the fence foreverLackluster jesters swallow their pride While the king...

    • Reminds me that Tom Petty quote “I did it because I had no choice’. Some of us poets just are built to write.

      Great ink

    • What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

      • hello Damian thank you graciously for reading me and leaving such a great comment 💕

    Gothic Rose: Part Five

    Our emotions stir       from our quivering shadows            in the glow of the candlelight.                 Rhythmically,   our black hearts mingle       in our beats,           playing music    ...

    • hello Daniele this is written beautifully I love it 💕

      • Thanks as always, I’m not sure whether to continue it? My character would definitely become scarier… haha.

        Daniel

    • Beautifully penned, Daniel. The cadence has a very catchy rhythm and flow. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Shivering, lovely, creepy shivers down your spine… now that tells me I achieved what I set out to make here… thank you!

      In fact, your comment inspired me to continue this little gothic-romance thread, haha. Part six coming today!

      Daniel

    • Hauntingly romantic with creepy tenderness, Daniel. To be honest, I need something to spark creativity in me and this made me pose thought to a genre I’ve yet to really spill ink in. I look forward to reading more in your series.

      • Thank you, Pandy. My genre is Gothic-Surrealism. Though I didn’t invent the term, I’ve used it in a literary sense instead of art. Thanks, again and find that spark!
