The very chaos of love and infedilty wrapped up in humour, I guess when all is said and done it\'s the only thing we can do. I admire your style. 🌹

The chaos of the various themes mimics life\'s chaos and the distracted conversations those of daily life where no one really understands anyone but pretends they do. Various needs undesired pushed upon unwary and undesiring dupes as we fumble our way through another day. A wonderful read Paul and a fave

Sex Addict

Made me tired just reading it...but there you go - nobody\'s perfect... and being an octogenarian does not mean I have more tentacles with which to help her out...

Your poem aims to critique the superficiality of contemporary relationships, highlighting the search for deeper fulfillment amidst fleeting pleasures. It serves as a commentary on the complexities of sexual identity and the impact of casual relationships on personal satisfaction.nicely done

The Past

No matter how much we climb the past may always be in sight, unfortunately it\'s easier said than done to forget it. What we can do is accept it and move forward learning from it. 🌹

Paul, this walks that line between comedy and something more uncomfortable underneath…each turn gets a little more absurd, but also more revealing. By the end, it’s not just funny…it’s telling. You held that balance well. Well written. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Past
Thomas W Case said:
Raw and confrontational—this reads like a relationship autopsy delivered without soft edges, where memory and resentment are still arguing over the same ground.
The grit is in that uneasy mix of intimacy and distance: love reimagined as structure, but built on fractures that never quite disappear.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, this moves through damage, memory, and that uneasy attempt to rebuild…wanting something workable even when the cracks won’t disappear. There’s a push forward here, but it keeps glancing back, and that’s what gives it weight. Great job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, this comes in raw and unfiltered…there’s a chaos to it that feels intentional, like it’s meant to hit in fragments rather than flow clean. It leaves an impact. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely written. Your poem explores themes of violence, brotherhood, and the fleeting nature of life, particularly within a gritty urban setting. It reflects on the struggles of individuals navigating a world filled with danger and their desire for respect amid chaos.

This one is definitely giving (in the hoods of darkness vibes), I believe the UK is becoming this. A very powerful and very visual piece dear Paul. Maybe it\'s time to take the streets and the shops back? 🏴

Paul, this carries a strong current of movement and tension…there’s beauty, temptation, and something unspoken guiding it all. The repetition and flow give it that hypnotic pull, while the undercurrent keeps it grounded. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I enter in the middle of a relationship, an association - I hope you know where it is going/went because I\'m not going to make any guesses. It kept me reading though.

Thomas W Case said:
Lush and atmospheric—this drifts between desire and abstraction like tidelight on skin.
The grit is in the restraint: intimacy suggested more than declared, letting the colour carry what words can’t quite hold.

Here is a feeling without form a color shapeless a woman without soul but not in a bad way but in a formless way. It is dimensionless and free. Well penned my friend and a fave

Paul, this feels like that pull of something you thought you’d escaped…only to realize it never fully let go. That return, even after years, feels real in a way that’s hard to shake. It lands quietly, but it lands. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Quiet and heavy—this feels like memory under pressure, where time hasn’t healed so much as it’s just kept things contained.
The grit is in that return of the past: not dramatic, but inevitable, like something waiting patiently in the dark.
