This is soo good, favorite line, “with the understanding the light shines so bright only because of the darkness”

hello dearest Damian thank you graciously please forgive my tardy responses on the other poems your on mind and I will catch up I appreciate you deeply ❤️

This form of poetry is so entrancing. “That some boundaries are crossed by desire.” Feel that.

There is so much power in this write!
Each line conjures such intense emotional pull. Like magnets colliding!
You’r waiting for an explosion 💥 that feels exquisite. You had me at the edge of my seat reading this. Hahah.
Phew, this was intense and filled with curiosity.
Loved everything about this and you!

The splendor of your poem filled me as I read with a rapturous yet softly and darkly wonder. I could see Pandora with her jar and the first tentative attraction unfolding until that jar of opened and the tempests come. But after the storm there is a truth in her being that is irresistible and compelling in the utmost. I could feel this in my heart and it was a truly splendorous read.

Thank you very much, Bat. This one took quite a bit of work!
How’s Gotham? 😉

Well what a hell of a comment, Brenda. Thanks for that. I’m trying to find subjects a bit unordinary. This one was a leap!

I am doing well, Damian. A recent trip to Texas (to see Del) was awesome.
Thank you for the supportive comment, too. This one took quite a bit of work, and hacking up the lines, for days. I’m trying to be interesting for the reader/s, so any encouraging words go a long way. Thank you.

Chère F.,
Hope you’re fine.

And:
I will continue

Being me
Yes, please please please

Warm regards, Gus

We can only be us through the good and bad. Great ink

You’re on the right track again but now you’re the engine not the caboose.

This one we do like, as we said it makes us think of the phoenix. This is another one for the comeback kid, tight

like Me said, this reverberates like the trials of the phoenix. It’s a good mantra as well, for all who strive to get up and get going again. Well written, Fia.

hello beautiful anger overcame me today based by hurt and other things and I had to let it have way and then reset so I could find me again this is beautiful ❤️

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with a lot of layers throughout my friend. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you cuz.

Damian

All you can do is be yourself and you, Fia, are exactly that. What more could ever be needed. Keep spilling those truths, my friend.

Hi Fia!
This is golden! It needs to be in framed and hung everywhere!

You ask why forgiveness

Because yesterday left

Tomorrow is possibility

Now

This present time

Defines what will come

Thanks for posting this!

This is crystal clear wisdom told with deep feeling and the rich lessons of life. I loved this because it spoke to me on a deep level of what really matters in the end. And I could feel the emotions as they transformed into a sense of peace and forgiveness. This is truly great poetry that is as profound as it is wise.

Here, here live it like life will never end.
