Like this sexiness Lady, we agree that a great piece of writing can stir the loins. Tight work

This feels raw and self-aware, especially in how it explores the act of reading as intimacy. There’s a lot of honesty here.

This is some sexy voyeurism you got going on here, Fia
Steamy hot!!

Thanks for the information, Fia. Is that spam right above my comment? Appreciate you, cuz.

Dear D,

For me this was on fire. I kept thinking of close calls trying to stay in my lane at the same time of feeling lured into another. With just enough sliver of light to keep the full on pitch black from engulfing my soul. Intense write. Great piece. H🌷

I like how this moves through doubt and self-interrogation without rushing to answers. The questions feel earned, not rhetorical.

There’s a simultaneous sense of strength and uncertainty in this that drag at me. Like you know you made the right choice, but how close was it to the edge? That feeling I know all too well. If we’re not reviewing actions, we’re probably doomed to repeat them. Goes for individually as well as globally. Another layered one. Keep chasing thought, my friend. You always bring gold when you do

Love this! Skepticism is not paranoia, though gaslighters may disagree. Experience provides a roladex of patterned behaviors, and when there’s multiple red flags its no longer paranoia but an obvious truth.

The last stanza is brilliant. Love it and the poem. Great work!

Brilliantly penned, Thomas. Preach my brother, preach! You nailed this out of the park. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

Awesome.
Indeed, it’s that little angel/demon upon our shoulder, compelling us to write something, anything, to relieve the pressure of wanting to say something to the void. Life?Love?Pain?Loss? All of it.
Your write is terrific. I think we all write “for ourselves”. yet to have someone acknowledge our words does mean a lot. It makes us feel like it does matter, after all.

Excellent ink & Not a single drop wasted .. Neville 😎👍

Thank you, my friend.

Yep. That’s just the way it is. We create because that’s how we deal with the world.

That last stanza…is everything. It’s never about accolades. It’s because we must. Damn…

So true.
