    • This is moving and being human is not an easy existence at all

    • Beautifully expressed. It’s just what I needed to see before I signed off. It is so relaxing and sets the reader in a calm sense of being.
      Awesome.

    Write You Real

    I always knew you existed.All those years I created a loverout of words, to fill the void; That absence within my purpose.-To have someone, something to do with my hands besides write. Someone to hold, long, in winter.Someone to blend...

    • Dude you don’t have to write dark pieces, you’re a lover. The world needs far more light flowing through love than our darkness Halloween pieces. Tight one dude

      • I have a few dark pieces. But it isn’t something I like to dwell within too much. Yaknow? Creative writing to me is also a form of escapism. So I prefer not to escape to the darkness much. It’s therapeutic to write ourselves out of the glum. At least it seems to me anyway.
        Thank you, again, for the support my man. I’m probably taking a break from posting material for a bit. But I will still sign in and catch up on some reading. I do enjoy good reads!

    • This is full of emotion and beautiful imagery.
      As writers we get it. Totally get it. Our dreams are what encourage us to write. That extraordinary feeling of connection with something beyond our grasp. So we grab the pen and off we go with our words. Trying to convey what we feel in our own sense of style and tone. You never disappoint. Your writing is exceptional because you’re exceptional. You have mastered expression my love. This is a beauty.

      With much love and respect

      • Well I respect your opinion!
        You know that this is obviously to you, about you. If it’s any form of a love poem, or prose, you know that you are the star in it. Because you’re the brightest thing I’ve ever seen. Inspiration is so easy with you in my life. I’m blessed now. I have a focus to look towards. You!
        And thank you, for being you. Although we have real life, it’s nice to be cozy here too!

    • If I ever find that special someone, I hope I can write something like this. Nice one, Styx.

      • Thank you Sir Tim.
        As everyone probably knows (from DUP world) Del and I were not on that site looking for a personal connection like this. It just built itself and now here we are. Maybe that was the key, we were not looking. Sometimes when we least expect it… so they say.
        I do think, though, that creative writing is a very good indicator of “like minds” understanding the processes and such. It can be a lonely hobby really. And timing, perhaps. The right place at the right time and all that!
        I’m hoping that your successes become excessive soon! In all that you seek.

    • Beautifully penned, Mark. Love the title, this is an excellent write my friend. I can identify with that process, not always knowing where a write will lead sometimes not till the very end. I knew I wasn’t the only one. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Man, I just get these little visions/ideas and it makes me want to write it out. Yet is obviously never complete until we begin the creative crafting. Then who knows! LOL
        I think a lot of times it’s the mood that accompanies that brief vision, that guides the words. Yeah?
        Also, who hasn’t written a love poem, or fifty, about finding love, and having it. Whether it’s a current reality or not, we all have been there I’m sure. It becomes sort of guide, too, because you’ve spent so much time thinking about it, that much of it can fall into place.
        Thank you, Damian. I think I’m going to take a break from writing new material, because I’m neglecting my chore of getting my book together! Del is much more focused, obviously, than I am. LOL

    • Truly beautiful work, my friend.

      • I appreciate that, Thomas. I do try to make my writes worth the readers time. It’s how we connect here, through mutual appreciation for the craft of it all, and the understanding of a write well versed. I try!

    • Totally absorbing, the more I scrolled down. I found it intriguing to learn of how real you wrote her – how immersing that discovery felt from a reader’s point of view. We don’t always know where our muse will lead us, do we? But oh, how lovely the discovery we find!

      • So true. I liked the title when it came to me, so I needed a write to go with it! The ideas were pretty easy to come by, as well.
        Many times I get motivated by things that I’ve recently read, and it sets the mood for me to write.
        Thank you very much for the encouraging comment, Kelly.

    • Yes, that perfect lover, the soulmate. In my life she was dreamt of but never found. Like you, I have written about her and dreamt about her. I’ve tried to paint her image, even though I didn’t know what she looked like. Your poem perfectly describes how we feel about that special someone.

      • Well speaking from experience, when we are not looking is when it seems to happen! Our guard is down, our doubts even, etc. If someone finds us, and accepts us as is, then perhaps that is the way it should always begin. Nothing fancy, nothing prepared.
        Thanks Sam, I appreciate your positive note!

    • A very brief incorporation… a warm poem… that’s all I needed.

      • it was an idea I had, so I figured I’d go for it and see what I could come up with. I guess like all of us do!
        Thanks for the acknowledgement my man. I’m still kickin and good to see that you are too.

    Beauty Hides

    • Wonderful write. It has a calming effect, even.
      Not enough honest, heart felt writes are done by men. It’s good to see you’re brave enough to pick up that torch. You did so well.

      • Thanks for reading.
        I wrote this ten years ago. There is no side of life I am afraid of taking on. Thanks for your kind words.
        Regards James

    • This is calming. Nicely done

      • Thanks for reading.
        I am glad you felt a calming vibe.
        I wrote this ten years ago.

    • Thanks for reading and listening.
      I wrote this ten years ago. I tried to make it into a song. I am very glad enjoyed it.

    Blurred Reflection

      As she sat down on the bench in front of the vanity, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. How long had it been since she had sat here? Who was this reflection looking back at her? Had it...

    • We remembered this time, hahaha. Thank you Lady this one took it’s toll of us, but we got it written

    • I have seen similar situations. Habits can manifest into monsters. Change people into someone
      you don’t recognize. By the time you realize what happened it’s too late, too many bridges burned.
      I believe as long as you’re alive you can change but at times people feel it’s too difficult. They prefer what is familiar.
      This write really reminds me of friends who get lost in finding themselves. They don’t remember how to look beyond that mirror. Great reflective write.

      • Not only does misery love company, but at times both Misery and her company are unaware of it. Thanks Lady

    • What a story, Me. She got herself together one more time and did the routine before she can move on.
      It’s hard for some. It would be for me.
      You presented this well.

      • Hahaha, maybe she got herself together once again and went out, before returning and dying beside her soul mate. Just a thought, Thanks Lady
