The Lion's Den

Poetry

There’s a hole in the ceiling That feeds this chill in the air Getting hooked on a feeling Slightly dizzy yet still aware Dark figures sway in misery Forced to watch them play Chaos clouds our periphery Calloused thoughts in decay Shiny prize contains a hook That’s how...

  This reminds me of social media’s control over youth. They can’t think for themselves anymore being they’re led and pulled in by algorhithms. Good one Damian.

Remaining Numb

Poetry

July 27, 2025

Spent so many years finding a reason Constant friction rubs against the grain With hope comes a change of season Suspicion stirs beneath a summer rain Thought I caught lightning in a bottle Forgotten words splinter through space Ancient spirts following at full throttle Falling out...

  There are so many great lines in this one. I think the one that sticks the strongest with me is:
  
  “Complacency is a recipe for disaster”
  
  Not paying enough attention to the gravity of a situation is so dangerous. All it takes is a single grain to tip the scales. Gotta watch the build-up. Your mind never ceases to amaze me, my friend

  G’mornin’, Damian 🌤
  The enjoyment of your fine writes goes well with this hot wake up mug-a lapsang souchong.
  
  Such a beautifully rendered, smoothly flowing set of unmetered Quatrains (in a-b-a-b spot-on rhymes) sing a sad song, indeed.
  They say, “We must play the cards we’re dealt!” But, I, as You, have obviously been dealt some tragically sorry hands.
  The one worst aspect of romantic relationships your keenly-writ lines bring to mind, is the painful reality of unrequited feelings and emotions.
  
  “Understand I’m living the fucking song
  And your loyalty lies in remaining numb”
  
  Brilliant work, Syr Poet … thank you for sharing! ⁓ Rascal🖌

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Rascal. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Terrible hands indeed, and I didn’t do much in my early life to help matters. Like becoming an alcoholic, just lead me farther off the path. This one has layers, on one hand there is nothing wrong with a romantic relationship poem, so I don’t mind it being viewed as such. But this one is more about a songwriting partner/friend who I loved like a brother. He was family, until that was no longer possible. They kinda overlap. lol. Thank you for your wonderful commentary. Appreciate you.

      Thanks for clearing the relationship … just read again and it makes perfect sense.
      
      Been there, done that!
      
      A thought: Ya might consider saying what you did to me in the Summary for others to enjoy this piece all the more.
      
      Thanks, Damian, for your appreciation! ⁓ RJ
