    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...

    • Amnesia, would be a lonely thing for a poet of the forgotten. This was exquisite, Damian.

    • Hello dearest Damian great write I feel this I often wonder if forgetting is a blessing or a curse ❤️

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Maybe a little of both depending on what’s forgotten. Appreciate you.

    • Tremendous work, my friend.

    • Damian, this is strong tonic. I could feel this in my bones as I read. This i the stuff of poetry that feels like strong whiskey on the tongue. Sad but great writing.

    • It is cruel when the mind slips and cannot grasp what you have lost. Food for thought.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is food for thought, these are the little things I think about late at night. lol. Appreciate you, cuz.

    • 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. I’m just trying to hang in there. You’re much too kind, Dear Sir. But thank you for your continued support brother. Appreciate you.

    • Exquisite piece Damian. Well written my friend.

    • exceptional read! full of concise, vividly profound imagery…
      a sense of melancholic unrest. ~ c

    • 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.

    In Winter's Depths, I Found Summer

      In winter’s depth,I walked broken streets.Empty pockets.Head full of hissing demons.Whiskey for warmth.Neon nights for company. Underneath the frostand frozen hearts.Underneath the lonelinessin shadowed rooms.Something small, powerful—a dim pulse, barely there, but consistent.A heat without a name. And these days?Well, I’m...

    I close my eyes-still see you.We begin anew,as visions ribbon reality.I smell your hair,it takes me home.Nothing else bringssuch sanctuary. By the window, posed,a sheet robes your body.Robbing meof God’s only trophy.But your shoulder, exposed,enticing; embrace me.My lips partake of...

    • Beautifully penned, Mark. A very passionate write my friend with excellent execution. Nicely done. Happy Holidays to you and Adel. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • How’s you Damian? I hacked this write to death! I like it, I hate it, LOL.
        But I thank you just the same. I wanted to post something… Life is a bit busier lately, yet I still always have the craving to write and/or edit something.
        Del was here for ten days this time. And it’s always too short a visit.
        You take care out there, and have some awesome holiday times!

    • This is beautiful.

      • Thank you Amethyste. I appreciate your kind comment. This write was a struggle, so thank you for the note of encouragement.
        Happy Holidays to you!

    • Powerful work, my friend.

      • Hello Thomas!
        This write has some good parts, and some clunky parts, I know. I’ve been all helter skelter with the transition of ideas reaching the written word. Yet I am sure we all have the lulls in our writes.
        Have some happy holidays over on your corner of things. Then perhaps write something awesome, as you tend to do!

    • From the title to the stanzas within, this is a gorgeous and tender declaration Mark. No thrills, no spills – just the soft thrum of union. Rob

      • What a great word; Thrum.
        The title/name I totally made up, because I wanted something different. It also helps me remember my writes, by giving them some unique titles. Yeah?
        I appreciate the nod, Rob.
        I hope you are doing very well and finding inspiration in your world. It’s there, amigo. Just grasp it.

    • So touching and sweet.

      • Hey Fia! I had to feed my page something! LOL. I beat this write to death, and unfortunately it shows some scars! Choppy stanzas and such. But I’m moving on from it. I have a pretty good idea of what to write next. I just have to apply the time and mood to it. Soon!
        How’s you?!

    • Tremendous imagery. You paint this scene well.

    • I love the painting with eyelashes! I might have to steal that!
      Being with you is home to me.
      Everything is relaxed and I was comfortable in my own skin or my bath robe. Lol

      This write reminds me of our time together. 10 whole days. It went by too fast but I cherished every second.
      I remember you bringing up a ballerina vibe for one of your writes. You did her justice with this. Very eloquent with just the right amount of angst. Thank you for posting this baby, gave me a smile while reading:)
      Love you and sorry it took me forever to comment! It’s been a crazy month at work and off as you know.
      Call ya later this evening:)

      • You don’t ever owe me a comment. As long as you wear my t-shirts like you do… That itself is quite a statement!
        As you know, there is no specific “Tey Saree”. It’s an image from my mind wandering like it does. Which is filled by you.
        I just come up with names to title them, so it doesn’t get too repetitive.
        `I just had a bag of popcorn for my bedtime snack. I’m a rebel! Thats why I buy toothbrushes in bulk.

        Hey, I missed you as soon as that shuttle pulled away! What a great time we had, punk!
        I love you too babydoll. I’m still smitten!

    • But I’m scrambling, H !
      I’m supposed to be finalizing them into book format, but I keep editing them more! I need intervention! lol
      As long as there is someone to tell me that I’m doing okay, I will keep going with this writing curse. So thank you for being that for me. I do like being engrossed in it. Don’t we all?

    • This is a powerful and thought provoking statement, dear Keith!
      You are right, the Earth suffers definitely from overpopulation. At the same time, I am pro life but not supporting the anti-abortion campaigns. Maybe we can trust in the self-regulation system of the Earth. The number of unwanted infertilities is increasing. Once again, you brought up a hot potato here, and discussed it impressively. Great work, my friend! Xox

      • Excellent observation Elke. Your comments are always so thought out & magnificent. I say we ship all billionaires & politicians to Mars. We need to make sure they never return. Thank you my dear friend..xox

    • Savagely penned, Keith. Incredible write my friend, vintage you my brother. Appreciate you.
