    • I relate to this. Lots of craziness in the world
      I hate going out after dark so I don’t unless it’s absolutely necessary and not by myself
      Powerful write

    • My current apartment in the ghetto in Buffalo, NY is safer with my living alone – than any place I lived with family. Neighbors keep an appropriate distance BUT A WATCHFUL EYE! Community is sometimes safer than family.

    Thoughts thought

    night wandered alone, dark feet encased in silent comfort dreams a decor - silver starred, lined with whispered perfectioneyes gazing, appraising -  meandering  future thoughtsdared -  in an unholy language via its blushing thesauruspages blurred with dubious regard yet...

    • Such a rich and layered piece. I love how it drifts like a dream, full of texture and sensation. The imagery feels both mysterious and intimate, especially in the way it moves from silence into warmth.

    • This is such a deeply moving piece. You take us there & there is a breathtaking place. I’m a sucker for dew-laden grass in the mornings.

    • Many thank yous, Willow. You have found what I tried to say without over-stating. Is said that feet soaked in dew remain innocent for life!

    • I could see this printed within a book. It’s just the right amount of personal note along with staying on a creative writing avenue. It’s mature (educated) yet intoxicating.
      Well crafted poetry.

    • I could go overboard with thanks, Styxian! I try very hard to get to the core of writing the use of my own words! I was initially a short story writer but now destined to try my hand at poetry. Not easy! Take care.

    Spine

    I, am a swirling collection of empty pieces. Jagged edges, and curved spines, some broken by the very hands that glued them back together, Some loved tenderly by another who kisses me so softly before bed I sometimes fear he...

    • “Eyelids like asteroids hailing down unto the earth.” Fantastic!

    • I get almost the image of the female Frankenstein with this piece. I like it.

    • This is an intense write. Lots of raw emotion and great metaphors.
      It’s hard to comment on writes like these because of the subject matter.
      Brave write

    • Oh goddess, this feels so agonizingly familiar. That kind of damage leaves us so afraid to trust the good moments, the sweet touches, the gentle words. Because those things were once used as weapons. This bleeds vulnerability and honesty all over the page. You are heard…

    • I’ve honestly have only watched the first episode of Stranger Things. but your poem stands powerfully on its own. The imagery is so vivid and eerie, it feels like a story in itself.

      • In the fourth season there is a character that plays the song from Metallica. So epic!!!! I put the link below in case you’re curious. I haven’t been writing the past year. I’ve been busy trying new things so your comment means the world.

        Thanks for stopping by:)

    • Wow this is dark. I remember the show. Nicely written.

      • Hey Fia. Thank you!
        I wrote this yesterday trying to find my mojo. lol
        It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and written anything.
        I’m going to post more often but it might be some older stuff from DUP.
        Im still simmering on my other write about wildflowers.
        Fingers crossed I will write something this weekend.

        Thanks for the support:)

    • What! Of course you should’ve been made! All of my bad luck, you are my salvation!
      You don’t write “dark” much. But obviously you can when it hits ya. The plethora of details within the write make it full, like a bag of candy when trick or treating. (That black cat I saw a few weeks ago was right outside my front door this evening!).
      Haunting write, my Morticia,LOL.

    • Hahahaha. There’s your word plethora!! You crack me up up.
      Me a good luck charm? I feel a pandora charm coming on hehehehe
      And you can’t take it back. I’m still your salvation but you have to take me shopping for girl stuff!
      Thank you lover !!

      • I was telling Glen, at work, about my boots you got me! He was asking about when is the hat happening. LOL. I told him I’m more a ball cap guy.

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend, this one has darker tones. I dig it. Appreciate you.

    • Hey there amigo. It’s the month of Halloween!
      Now is the time for darker writes:)
      I’m going to indulge in my dark side for a minute. lol

      Thanks for the snaps on this write!
