The Moonlight Is Disintegrating Into Ashes
L. B. Mek said:

\'I see the morning and its sharp teeth
The orange glow of the sunrise in the distance

I hear a saxophone
I see a city made out of synthetic organs
Bleeding like a symphony

The sea is jutting back and forth
Voiceless \'
A Brilliant read
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Pedal Steel and Ribbons

Very cinematic and quite connected to the senses. Spiderwebs are quite a thing to contend with and so are sticky emotions. TFS

I agree with Rocky Lagou! Rocky expressed so well what you are trying to say. Very visual writing as well!

My Tears Die Like Stars
Rocky Lagou said:

This is the most explosive poem I\'ve read in a while. Wow. From the loveless sentiments, to the words that are so impassioned yet to no avail, to the self-destruction, it\'s so relatable. It\'s like you poured your heart onto a paper, and here we are. That finale when you begin to list the things you are, \"butterfly,\" \"wolf,\" \"apathy,\" etc. is so climactic. I hope you had a breather after writing this. Regardless, it\'s beautiful and so emotional, and that\'s why I love it.

\'You leave the house just to go missing\'
(while some go missing, standing right by our side...)
such a vivid scene your words emote
thanks for sharing dear poet

Touch and Go Ache
jarcher54 said:

I am enjoying your recent pieces for their apparent simplicity and brooding deep impact. In some of your longer, more \"rambling\" and image-packed poems, all the emotions and ups and downs are literally present as we experience them. This little piece works more indirectly, while ultimately reaching the same honesty and richness.
We all talk to our pain, and comparing that to how one might talk to another person (present?
more likely not present?) or maybe to oneself is a virtuoso line. I don\'t talk to my pleasure, that I know of, but what a bittersweet idea!

Touch and Go Ache
Ninkasi said:

I think this piece is so all encompassing and causes an ebb and flow in minds of the reader.. Its actually a surreal flow of emotions and metaphors dotting the read are exquisite.

Brings brass knuckles to the poetry fight! Hard hitting and yet tender to the emotions that it projects. A perfect slice of contemporary life.

The depth of loves that shouldn\'t have been, the drama is toiling and boiling in this one. Solid!

Touch-Me-Not, Come Back To Me
Rocky Lagou said:

This is so neatly written dear poet! I\'m enamored by this journey. It\'s so relatable too. As a loner I\'ve been accustomed to being my own best friend. This poem also has a lingering sense of regret and recklessness that is lived when one is \"young and dumb.\" I love this. My favorite lines are:

\"Let us live like kids again

And be wild in the night, full of wonder and sin

Tomorrow we will live up to our promises\"

Touch-Me-Not, Come Back To Me
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

A great writing )) love the mention of colours and nature in this . And it’s important to be our own best friend .. we need to find some sense of comfort from ourselves , I guess

Outward to Otherworlds
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

And it can get easier ) a good writing . Like your mention of nature in this I think nature can bring a lot of comfort . And I love your last line about the angels .. they are there to comfort us and help us .. and I believe in them so much

You often sing songs of heartbreak... I\'ll reread this one later. It\'s full of moving images, your gift of combining the unexpected into intriguing, coded messages! Missed you my complicated songbird!

Orange Tree
Bella Shepard said:

I find that the beauty of poetry is expression without reservation, where else can you feel so free. I had to read this aloud with the timbre and tone it deserves. It is soul searching and heart-felt. Wonderful words arranged perfectly.

really like your purposed use
of repetition, to add
a different depth, aside
the wisdom of your poetry..
brilliantly realised!
