    Wax-Like

    Vulnerable... My wax-like existence  in the presence of your flame makes my eyes drip with tears.   This constant bleeding of my soul... This neverending torment... My waxy soul will sometimes  avoid the world's flame,   and my running tears will dry. And my wax figure will be silent... tears dried...

    • I think that open vulnerability is a great strength, in a similar vein to how admitting ignorance is actually a sign of great intelligence. It’s easy to melt when you feel more than most…,most people wish they could burn like you.

    • Powerfully penned, Daniel. Another incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Daniel this is magnificent. My eyes were riveted to the screen as your tale unfolded. A work of dark literary quality that was incredible to read. Truly a publishable story. Knowing this is just a chapter in your book amazes me. Truly fantastic story telling.

        • The way you describe your drink sounds like you are praising a beloved woman, her beauty, her character and attitude. And it seems like there are many parallels: in its velvety Amber colour consistence bourbon can have a soothing impact, It Doesn’t Ask unwelcome questions, it is simply there and understands …
          A powerful and thought provoking writing that is as meaningful and important as it was 10 years ago. Brilliant, dear Damien!

    • Happy (early) birthday toast incoming! July 18 deserves a proper celebration—with Bourbon’s smoky charm and Vodka’s crisp fire clinking together in style. Here’s to bold beginnings, blurry stories, and the kind of laughter that lingers longer than the hangover.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You always find a way to make me smile. Thank you for being you and your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • Ahhh, Damian! 🥃

      Nothin’s like sippin’ choice bourbon with a friend (on the rocks w/a splash-a bitters), sharing a tale or two with laughter in the air.

      A feel good write that lifted an olde bard’s spirits ‘n brought a fond smile for moments past.
      A lovely week ahead to ya, Syr Poet! ⁓ Rascal🖌

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Rascal. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Ah, the old days. I too loved stories over drinks. I still tell some stories, just don’t drink anymore. I wasn’t very good with moderation, only so many drinks on the old punch card. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Love this. I’m a great fan of double meanings, work that makes you think deeper than what’s implied on the surface. Awesome!
