Was born with eyes wide open
To be prepared for the truth
Not wanting to offend
What had happened on the roof

Holding pasts in a box
We crawl, we stand, then walk
Rusty keys enter locks
Speaking words before caught

Streams of tears without sound
Lover’s end, rings withdrawn
heartbeat forever unbound
Dawn shows you were a p…Read More

  Okay, Fia 👌 Thanks for your submission and participation.

In particular, your topic is interesting, with emotion depth, strong metaphorical imagery, and captivating ambiance that sets the mood. With a b…Read More

    Damien, amigo! Thank you!
    This was an extra special write because it was such a sad historical event.
    The remnants are still here for everyone to view. Not sure how I feel about that.
    Having other peoples pain on display. Just feels like such an intrusion.
    
    But you know what is pretty cool to display, your rocking avatar’s hair!! Hahaha
    Had to lighten up this comment, I meant no offense:)

  I’ve seen the frozen bodies of Pompeii. he families that died together in their homes. I’m sure they would have been happy to have wings to fly away on. Great poem of butterflies and great art work, Adel. 🙂

    Hey Tim!
    
    Hey, I’m Adelly to you mister! Where did she go? Hahah
    With all the suffering that happened I wanted to make this poem bittersweet.
    And I kept having these visions of moths flying around. Some are huge, as big as your hand!
    Off my mind went and this is what I came up with. After I finished drawing my first moth, I felt like a proud mama! lol
    I’m glad you enjoyed!

    Thank you for that. Means a lot amigo. I can’t even imagine how it must have felt like, being there in person.
    The fact that their remains are still in tact and have not broken down is astounding to me.

  I spotted the songs hidden within. Yeah, I’ve been lucky being I never participated in alcohol or drugs. They were everywhere but I declined and I’m glad for it.
  
  You’re a courageous guy for being able to go through that and come out sane. (and a great writer). I’ve known people who couldn’t do it and spiraled into oblivion. Good on you, Damian.

  Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a reward to get second chance, but it was important for me to understand why and how I became so addicted in the first place. I understand me better now, I’ve even slowly started to like myself a little. lol. That’s my true transformation my friend. Appreciate you.

  My best friend from middle school has been sober for over 17 years. I’m so proud of her.
  It took her pound of flesh though. Completely different person when drunk. Mean, violent, and in all honesty sometimes sad.
  No one wakes up in the morning and says I want to be an alcoholic. The struggle was real and I am so thankful she got sober.
  Hang in there and tell the voices to shut the hell up. You got this. One day at a time.

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Adel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Indeed, no one wakes up wanting to be an alcoholic. Sometimes the pound of flesh doesn’t come all at once anyhow, the older I get the effects show up more mentally and physically. As I’ve said many times, “No one comes out of addiction unscathed.” I was a different person as well, it brought out my bad qualities. Glad your friend got clean, one day at a time. Appreciate you.

  When it comes to the heart matters it is always difficult, very difficult to separate the feelings from the mind and make sense of everything… Unfortunately, sometimes we learn in the hard and painful way, and sometimes we need years to completely get over it and grow, the pain is real here, well written my friend.
