• April 9th — The Breakthrough of Impossible Realities

    April 9th does not arrive.
    It erupts.

    It tears a seam in the morning,
    a thin, shimmering wound
    through which light leaks sideways,
    as if the day itself
    has forgotten how to behave.

    This is the day of breakthroughs,
    not the gentle kind,
    not the kind that whisper
    you’re doing fin…Read More

    • Adel that kicked out of the garden where there is nowhere to go. That is a good line. Enjoyed this piece

      • Hi Fia:)
        You know when you’re writing and it just flows. This was one of those writes for me.
        Everything fell into place:)
        Thanks for stopping by!

    • Nirvana – Pennyroyal Tea (Live And Loud, Seattle / 1993)

      One of my favorites by them – Nirvana – Radio Friendly Unit Shifter (Live And Loud, Seattle / 1993)

      This poem is friggin deep. One of your best. There’s so much here that stands out. That rebellion that starts from disappointment or betrayal. It’s like you’re saying – I what? I can’t eat that apple? Get out of the way! Crunch!

      I went to a catholic school – first to eigth grade. Imagine my horror when a detective called me one day asking if I was sexually abused there. It turns out many were. I never knew it.

      My faith has gone back and forth. I believe, to…Hmm, looking around, I don’t know.

      There’s a lot going on in this, but I love it. It stands out. Great work, Adelly.

      • Hi Tim!! Hahaha.
        Hell yeah, I said move out of the way and took two bites instead of one. Hehehe
        What can I say, listening to Nirvana got me in a mood. Especially the opening line where he sang -I’m on my time with everyone.
        I don’t know, i felt like why wait, i’ll take a bite of that apple right now. And it grew from there.

        Like I was telling Damien. Follow what feeds your spirit in a positive way. Whatever that may be.
        As simple as it sounds do what makes you happy:)

        Thanks for your snaps on my write amigo!

    • Every single line felt .. and felt deeply .. no effort required to feel where you are coming from .. and with much respect, much respect & write on, because you do it so well Neville 😎🌻👍

      • Hi Nev!
        Thank you for that.
        It was quite the feeling when I sat back after I was done and thought to myself, did I write that?
        I actually went to an open mic night in town and read a couple of my poems. I’m thinking about reading this one next time.
        I’d love to see the reaction. lol

        Thanks for your snaps amigo!

    • Thanks Damien,
      I truly don’t believe there is a wrong religion. As long as it isn’t hurting anyone and feeding your spirit positively.
      For me it’s also geographical and cultural. I’m Hispanic and was raised with the Catholic Church so that is what I practiced as a young adult. As I got older I got curious about other religions. And I can thank the late goddess Tina Turner for that. Yes I watched the movie What’s love got to do with it! Lol.
      She had a strict Baptist upbringing and later in life embraced Buddhism. It’s inspiring:)
      You can always change your mind, even when it comes to something so sacred as religion.

      Thanks for stopping by amigo!

    • It’s interesting to me how the movement of this is similar to a snake, it winds its way down. And those last lines are powerful! I have a complicated relationship with faith. What I’ve resolved as my peace is that I don’t believe in religion but I have a deeply spiritual connection with my faith. Great write!

      • Hi Willow.

        I’ve come to embrace faith.
        It’s so much more stronger than religion in my opinion.
        For me being female is powerful. Choosing knowledge for me is sensible not a crime.
        I was always confused about why that choice had such consequences for a bible that is supposed to be about forgiveness.
        I know it plays a larger role about giving us choices but still. Didn’t sit well with me.
        Girl, don’t get me started! Hahaha

        Thanks for stopping by:)

    • (What Willow said!)

      Hey beautiful. I am in love with your energy, as much as everything else about you. This write is a great example of what you can create from that incredible mind of yours. Hell yes I’m partial! But I’m also smart as hell. I know what is worth my life. You and your talents.
      Bravo mi amor.

      • Hahaha. Hey big sexy! I wrote this way back when I was going through a religion crisis!
        Went to a church, no not a catholic one, someplace different and what they were saying just really put me off, so I left.
        We find our way eventually. Just like I found my way to you:)
        In that regard I am very blessed. You are an incredible human and I am so lucky to spend the rest of my life with you:)
        Plus you bought me converse shoes too! What more can I ask for!

        Love you baby! MWA!😘

  • The Old Man at the Window and the Immortal Cats

    April 8th arrives
    with the hush of a page
    that turns itself.

    In the big window
    the one that frames the world
    like a painting too honest to sell
    an old man sits,
    chewing a piece of old bread
    as if time itself
    were something he could soften
    with patience.

    He does not speak.
    He never…Read More
