Feels like the person within needs to be released from its cell and the pretend outside she’ll, screaming for release 🙏🏻🕊️

This poem speaks to me with various meanings I hear it first as pertaining to immediate desires but lastly to the desire to leave this life free and return to the place of birth just as a pearl to the sea. It calls with a siren voice and the cascading words from stanza to stanza resemble waves on the sea returning one after another hypnotically calling. This one is a fave

Very dreamlike, and also reminds me of a dentist visit I once had... ;-)

This poem in its form seems classical in nature and narrative nature as well as wording. It is lyrical and the story seems to be almost Authorial. Mournful yet peaceful in nature it flows well and with rhyme. An enjoyable piece to read.

David this mention of bitter fruit brought to mind the song (Strange fruit) a song of man\'s violence toward each other as well. The ending of the poem seems Biblical in style. Very nicely done.

Quite heartbreaking to witness such profound anguish and conflict. May we speak light, hope, and unity to those dark places even as we read them.🙏🏻🕊

A man who clearly had been hurt and had a very hard life, thinking he is preparing his son not to suffer the same fate, putting the son in a very difficult position, nicely written and one to get you thinking, enjoyed the read

Once burnt twice shy they say. A most engaging story that bleeds of more reality than fiction. Such feelings do exist and such people as well. The dilema of making a deathbed promise to one\'s father and keeping it. Very nicely done

sorenbarrett said:
Change is inevitable and for those that like the present it is dark but for those suffering it offers a glimmer of hope. This poem focuses on the first and dark side of change. Very well written and rhymed

Indeed I have been there I think both in person and on the phone. It is the lack of respect that I hate the worst. A great write that most can identify with.

It was quite suddenly that it hit me. One of many views presented itself, the Custodian had a hood and scythe in hand; not my choice, but. Just leapt at me last moment there 🙏🏻🕊️

Each stanza an emotion and emotions come in stanzas, chapters and sometimes in just single words. The shift as rapidly as the stanzas in a poem. A wonderful write with imagery that felt so personal and intimate yet familiar. Very nicely done David

Refreshing and most brave David to hear a different definition of the overused term love. There are a million poems about it many sticky and gooey some sentimental others heroic but few if any deal with it in this manner. That is what poetry is, isn\'t it presenting the mundane in novel ways? This deserves a fave
