Superb

Love your spacing… very effective emphasis. Second person narrative is such a powerful literary POV, and you’ve taken full advantage. The conversational tone reflects the overwhelming effort to maintain control. The piece is as much about self as it is situational management, and I think the limited information provided makes it all the more relatable.

Thank you, Wil;))l

Powerfully penned, Fia. There is venom in those words my friend. Incredible write. Appreciate you.

Damian

Heavy! Like this a lot.

This is incredibly raw and honest. The way you describe the tears as rage, not sorrow, feels so real. Thank you for sharing this.

Brenda, this absolutely breaks the heart. I am sending you so much love & the biggest hug

Powerful work. Heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking write, Brenda. This is powerfully penned my friend. Sending prayers and positive energy your way. Appreciate you.

Damian

My deepest condolences to you & your family Brenda. Beautifully written my dear friend. Xox

Love this… great job Damion…

This post, at first blush, leaves me with what to disagree with. After a second read, and seeing the layers underneath, it is powerful and insists that one consider it on the deeper level. Many thanks and blessings. <3 Echo

Fist in the air, I’m over here going “Yeah! And…yeah!” All the way through this one. I remember this one & I’m glad she followed you over. Some truths should never fade into darkness. Favorite line:

Only way to quit the lie is to go cold turkey

That is gold, my friend

Raw and gritty. Love it.

Totally agree…
We got a shitstorm of rhetoric and meaningless ambiguity to wade through. I remember the term “Double Speak” from Orwell’s 1984. So legitimate. The dude had the future pegged.

What we need round here is another Nostradamus and some hymnals.

Great write

Love your raw writing man ❤️‍🔥

Phenomenal piece Damian. Nice work.

Great title

Pleasure journey

BIG LIKE

Love this piece Damian. Well written my friend.

I read the title, the summary &…my jaw still dropped when I started reading the actual poem! Ya turnin’ up the heat in here, my friend!

Side note, when I started my hand at erotica, I was so self-conscious that I created an alternate account on DUP to hide behind while I worked out how & what my erotic voice sounds like. I remember you saying you always worry it sounds corny…absolutely nothing corny about your erotica, my friend! 🔥

I like this style of erotica.

damn. excellent write.

Oh, you’re a boy with a beat, Damian. I can feel it. Music all over it.
“All the worries give way to pleasure” – got the Marvin Gay “Sexual Healing” going on.
You can be my ‘Repeat Offender’ any time.

Beautifully penned, Fia. You always know how to kick off a Friday, my friend. Appreciate you.

Friday’s Rule! Sunday Nights SUCK! Great poem Fia..xo

ya love a friday. good write

Fridays represent freedom, in my opinion. As one who observes the Sabbath, by Friday an hour or two before sunset, all my electronics (phone, laptop) are off. I am unreachable all of Friday night through Saturday evening, and that freedom is intoxicating. All I do for those hours is spend time catching up with family and friends, pray, and enjoy homecooked food that I made with my family. Conversely, Friday nights also mean a chance to care for oneself – whether going out and getting your groove on or staying home in pjs and Netflix. I do like this a lot, as it leaves ample room for personal interpretation. <3 Echo

Fridays are for fucking. It’s just that simple. Someone frequently comes in from Tuscaloosa – and it’s on. There’s the rest of the weekend to recover… maybe.
