    • Oh, so totally resonates. I don’t know where I would be without my proverbial pen. And I spent far too many years perched in neutral…only to discover there is no such thing. Either your ass is leaning in one direction or your nose is. I prefer staying informed & walking the path that suits me. Shadows & all. And i find like souls along the way when living authentic. Consider this one on my reading list with emphasis, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I wasn’t in neutral, but my wheels were always spinning. Either wound up in the ditch of life, or lost on an alcohol induced detour. Nowadays I’m living authentic as well, there’s shadows down every path I’ve found. Being aware and informed allows one to read the situation better. Thanks for the list.. Appreciate you.

    • That’s beautifully reflective—wisdom framed not as some lofty concept, but as lived experience layered over time. The imagery of seasons and fences evokes quiet contemplation, hesitation, even resilience. That last line? A soft unraveling of illusion. It reads like a quiet reckoning.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on. I believe wisdom is acquired through time and experience. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

    A Haunting Beauty You Are

    A haunting beauty you are moonlit,  mortality still flowing with passion.   A haunting romanticism our shared lips are, bathing together in crimson moonlight.    Your kiss lingers well beyond death, and beyond our last cold moment.   And there's a dominance in your kiss... Hopefully not eternal...

    • Intriguing…

    • I like the contrast you used in some verses. Dark thoughts indeed. Well done, Fia!

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! Amazing write my friend, with dark vibes very present. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Thank you, Adira;))

    • G’Mornin’, Fia 🌤️

      Good title, and what a great lead-in with V1’s frustrating contradictions setting the mood for what’s to come (L2, make it “you’re” sad).
      Boy howdy! You sure know how to express the angst so many of us have had to endure and overcome; yet, it seems some never do … sadly so.

      You’re such a creative writer, Ria: I admire your keen ability to weave vivid imagery and emotion throughout every verse and in the use of spot-on rhymes, timely line-breaks, and smooth flow.
      Excellent wrap-up verse, too. For rhyme’s sake with “despair,” consider using “there” rather than “here” (just a thought).

      “Wake, wake from this despair! (great poe-esque touch)
      It is me you’re talking to …
      no one else is there.”

      Fia, you’re such a joy to read and share with. 🌈
      Thank you ever-so warmly! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • Very captivating.

    • Thank you, Steven;))
