Beautifully penned, Daniel. Amazing imagery and an excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

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

tREMENDOUS WORK.

Coming to a dark truth is scary after a long search isn’t it?
Favorite line: Distractions occupy the symbol minded

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I loved that line as well. There were quite a few I loved in here. Appreciate you.

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🖌

This is brilliant don’t you all agree.

Absolutely brilliant! It’s funny, I scrolled down to say that & saw your comment. 😂 The mind is truly a double edged sword

I for one will always be curious, but happy.
