Waking Up
Paul Bell said:
Life in the raw, always think if you wake up, it\'s already a great day.
Usually give the mirror a miss, it blatently lies.
Feckin freezing here too, even the eskimos are complaining.

I\'ll settle for knowing how you feel - it\'s not empathy, it\'s identity...

This somehow reminded me of Lawrence. The desperation in reaching out and the ache of not being able to touch it. A fave.

So good to be reading this. It tempers the affinity with his post-impressionism and influence on expressionism. Bravo, Thomas🕊️🙏🤩

Excellent! That absinthe bottle threading the scenes together really anchors the poem. It becomes a witness to intent, distraction, and fallout, quietly charting the collapse without commentary. Strong, deliberate use of image, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beware of Jenny\'s baring gifts.
Many a guy has seen her go down.
Many never reached the point of blow.
Jenny knows men think with their balls, and it stands to reason they\'re going to fall.

Friendship said:
Beautifully done. Your poem revolves around the fleeting nature of youth and the bittersweet essence of nostalgia. The poet focuses on a group of young women enjoying a carefree moment by the water, capturing the exhilaration and innocence of adolescence as they grapple with the onset of adulthood.

Thomas there are certain moment that become snapshots in time filed in the memory those glory days that instead of fading grow more brilliant with age. Cherished keepsakes that give life meaning and purpose, glowing embers to reignite another day. Such is the feeling I got from this poem. Simply lovely and a fave

Thomas, this is a vivid meditation on youth, memory, and asymmetry…how one person’s passing night becomes another’s permanent echo. The lake, the music, the laughter all fade, but the knowing remains. Very powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas, this poem captures desire suspended in time. The ticking clock, the waiting, the collision when it finally breaks open. Time watches, unmoved, while the body remembers everything. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

From the thought of the woman in-between time, to the woman.
Music sets the scene and the clock still ticks away time, but at least it\'s good time.

Sometimes you have to get down to the depths of despair to rise.
Makes the writing grittier, knowing that you never want to go back there.

This poem reflects on memory, desire, and the kind of chaotic love that defines a certain kind of lived-in, smoky, barroom existence. It’s not just a portrait of women you loved—it’s also a confession of who you were in those moments: reckless, open, a little damaged, but profoundly alive. Well Done Thomas
