Drunk on Everything
Paul Bell said:
The last line does it, because there’s no other way.
It all begins and stops with you.
People may join you for a while, but at that moment it\'s all you.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Reading this felt familiar to me…the sense of knowing a moment won’t last and choosing to stay present anyway. That tension between gratitude and impermanence feels very true, and you hold it with such grace. Thank you for that. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas every poet has a style peculiar to themself and just like a voice of a singer that is unique and can be identified anywhere anytime by anyone your is a voice that calls out to me with grit and gravel the no bullshit stuff of real live on the hard side. I love this about your poetry it is like no other. Oh I love the sweet too like I love dessert but for a gut filling meal yours does the job, no frills no fancy crystal and table setting it is in a diner on the side of the road and you can taste the grease. It is the America I grew up in, it feels at home, a safe and friendly place. A little dirty here and there but oh so familiar. Keep it up my friend

I read this again today and it feels soo grounded to see that someone wrote this piece, as if it was just meant to exist

Sunday Aches

So very powerful I also felt like you have described in your first stanza, I used to hate Sundays for the fact school was tomorrow although Sundays were not exactly peaceful in any case. A sad one I felt your heart on this dear Thomas. Always one of my favourite poets. 🌹

Your poem captures grief, loneliness, and existential melancholy, all wrapped in the uneasy atmosphere of a Sunday morning. Sundays, often associated with rest or reflection, become here a sensory trigger for emotional pain, memory, and loss. Well Done my friend

Thomas, this hurts in a quiet, honest way. The loneliness doesn’t shout…it settles in and refuses to leave. That restraint makes the grief feel real and heavy. Wonderfully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

At one time Sunday always felt like doom was impending, and I felt that in this piece. However, at this end of life, for me, Sunday smooths out to any other day of the week.

Things made stronger by contrast, the peacefulness of a Sunday disturbed by thoughts now focused on. Wagner (one of my favorites) was dramatic showing strong contrasts in his music. The bitterness of coffee when missing someone. Past memories of others, contrasted with the loneliness of the present. It is the grit of life shown in this poem that gets the fave

Always that Ass

What a down and dirty presentation of life in the sex drive of the lascivious male. The worship of the puerile god of sex. Prayers of magic seduction rule. An addiction where your last line sinks the game winning shot. A wonderful poem of raw grit

Thomas, this grabbed me immediately. It’s hungry, loud, and alive with risk. The pulse never lets up, and that desperation feels earned. A fierce, visceral ride. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As the bookies say, you\'ve not actually won, I have just borrowed you money which you will then repay in kind when you come back.
Mind you, if I get a lucky dip in the lottery, I feel like a winner. Okay, this 50 to 1 shot looks a goodie, Speed of light, it\'s talking to me.

Enjoyed. We all think that \'Maybe the next time\' things will improve. New year and never do.
If only Rod Serling was in the corner predicting a Change of Fortune.

Thomas this one brings to life that eternal hope that we all have that next time will be the winner. The reason people by lotto, bet on the races, play the stock market go to Vegas. It is hopeful and one can not bring oneself to pop that bubble knowing that the house always wins and that the game is rigged. A lovely write that leaves a sad feeling for the millions that live on dreams.

\'Nothing will come of nothing\' - maybe that\'s out of context, but for me it characterises vast swathes of human activity. Summed up nicely, Thomas.

Alcohol or cornflakes, money and women.
