ACCEPTING FATE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Damn, Norman. This is grim as hell. Addiction can rob people of so much, and I\'ve seen enough of its destruction to know. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

ACCEPTING FATE
Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Norman,
It reads like the final scene in a play. Raw and uncomfortable, to accept such a fate, the hopelessness and wretchedness of the three characters is depressing to say the least. A powerful poem. Very well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Yes - we know, it\'s no use us hoping any more. We\'ll have to accept our fate that no bus will turn up! heehee.

ACCEPTING FATE
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a bleak, almost cinematic quality here, with the ragged curtain, bare bulb, and three motionless figures creating a room where addiction has drained away identity, movement, and hope, leaving people who seem to have surrendered their place in the world. “The sofa sports / Three figures stoned” is the keeper for me, because that blunt, almost casual description makes the scene especially disturbing: these are human beings reduced to fixtures in a room, present in body but seemingly absent from their own lives.

This paints a bare and grim picture filling in the details one draws the conclusion that a life style has ended in this fate. Well written my friend and a fave.

IN THE DYING LIGHT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a sobering thought, Norman, that we spend so much of our lives worrying about things that may ultimately matter very little. Perhaps the greatest wisdom comes from learning what deserves our attention while we\'re still here. Much appreciated, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Meeting again with past lovers can be a difficult and enticing situation where relationships that have not worked out still hold sexual allure and those that have moved on still drag one back. Nicely worded Norman
