      Cruel Amnesia

      Lost moments these gaps in time Surrounded by such strange faces Unable to reason can’t find a rhyme Empty thoughts in random places   Can’t recall when the mask slipped Sometimes minutes feel like years Somehow the scale must of tipped Got this constant ringing in my...

      • Older age? I know all too well the fading of a few things within myself!
        Yet you haven’t lost your literary touch! You are blessed with talent, that hasn’t ebbed. Thankfully we write down our material, no need to remember them from scratch! LOL.
        You still can kick some ass with a pen, Damian. Wield it high!

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Getting old isn’t without the fear of losing one’s self along the way.

      • As you so often do, you stirred levels here again. I read this from the personal perspective of memories slipping. A sense of self lost in blips of time. I also see this as the world arena and how people have lost their sense humanity, their compassion, their community. Like the whole damn world has global amnesia. And I read it as literal amnesia from losing time in the form of blanks in memory from drink or drugs. Many layers, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well you know me, I love when there are multiple meanings and endless possibilities. lol. Sometime’s I think it’s probably little pieces of all those things rolled into one. I follow where my muse leads me. Appreciate you.

    • Here is Guillotine bi-trillets

      The ring of steel bells. beckons us to hell
      The audience ignores the sound
      Multiple bodies hit the ground

      The chiming goes on, sings a restless song
      Unrelenting sorrowful tears
      The heart shutters to stop in fear

      Hope is so far gone, whispered please at dawn
      Guillotine swinging in the sun

      • hello dearest poet I really enjoyed the style and subject matter here ❤️

      • Powerfully penned, Benjamin. This write hits like a Mack truck my friend. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

        Damian

      • Writes like this are quite difficult for the most of us. So few even try. Yet you did and you did it very well. The rhymes are solid and well thought out. Most of the cadence is kept moving fluidly. Along with an interesting storyline to boot.
        Great job here. Your efforts paid off well.

      • incredibly penned…compelling. your imagery captivating,
        you weave words with amazing fluidity. i too very much enjoyed your topic & style.
