Distance can be so cruel J. I sensed the brick wall treatment in this relationship. Frustrating to say the least. Enjoyed the metaphors. .

You are surely the master of metaphor Jacob .. I have such a big thing about them you know .. and as always, I read you loud and clear .. Indeed, I am glad I came by here today .. which just goes to show, I’m only a few clicks away .. Regards, N.

Lost in passwords and denied access – this perfectly captures heartbreak in the digital age. That “rusting keyboard” line hits hard.

Great write! J, I really appreciate your help and guidance. It feels good to be back, sharing and reading your poems again.

Enthralled by your word play J. What more are we than skin, bones, heart and words.

A touching piece with a clever use of Web imagery. Perfect!

Thank you, M.E. —–
this one was fun to put together.

Cleverly penned, Jacob. Excellent imagery and amazing wordplay my friend. Appreciate you.

A web loner. I wonder how many readers had wished they had thought of that one! Lol, you are indeed the master!

Lock out of love and the softest thing is the pillow as bars.

Your reply is better than the poem. THank you, Fia.

Fabulous been there done that
Loved it I can relate

Lots of truth in this, j. Great metaphor.

Not exactly the plan: a double bed, the making and filling of it should be, can be, a nest made by two for two, a love-in forever. Fine writing, fine metaphor as ever, sir jacob.

A less than warm bed room scene, just missing the Keep Out sign. Relatable to many dear J. The blues indeed. Great metaphors as usual.

There is a great pain in words
And there is also joy.

A really moving piece.

Emily Dickinson once said “Words have the power to kill, they also have the power to heal.”
And here it is the former that occurs.

There is nothing quite like the sting of harsh well placed words. We humans can make weapons out of everything. Still, an ugly truth is less harmful than a pretty lie. Excellent write!

Given the state of the world, there are consequences to actions.
Nice spill.
