drop the guilt - and try to take as much as you can digest when life if offering it to you, although do not overstep the mark ...wonderful message.

There is no perfect time to say goodbye so this will be my last poem… thank you to those who read and enjoy my work. I’m going to hone in on my trade skills now… poetry has helped me become the man I am today. Thank you God. Thank you God’s creations… I am nothing without you…
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Demar, this genuinely saddens me. It has been an honor getting to know you through your poetry, and seeing my name in your note truly touched my heart. Your presence and your voice will be missed here, my friend. I wish you tremendous success in your trade and every blessing in whatever comes next. And hoping that one day you will find room for both. I see and appreciate the great depth that is in your work. Forever the King of Concise. Please keep in touch. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

He has laid down his pen and taken up his trade skills. May his tools be sharp, his hands steady, and his poetic spirit rest peacefully.

You will be missed, brother.

99 names, ten thousand things, the whole damn enchilada..
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Demar, what a spiritually immense piece in such a small space. The playful title opens into something profound...our relentless pursuit of the divine and everything we sacrifice trying to overcome a distance that may never have existed. Brilliant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Demar, I get this. The crisis remains painfully real, yet it does not possess everything…love, shelter, and the smallest signs of home still offer enough strength for another day. Beautifully restrained, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Demar, this gave me a smile! That playful opening leads into a gentle reminder about balance...accomplishment means little if we never pause long enough to enjoy what we’ve built. Great little piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

There’s a damn raw little knot of guilt and desire here, and the last question is the one that matters—it turns the plea for forgiveness inward. Three lines, but there’s a whole damn struggle between wanting, regret, and self-forgiveness inside them.

Those who are bound by desire see only that which can be held in their hands.

money may be the root of all evils, but it is still very much in demand - and necessary for living...

A lovely moment of perspective, my friend. Gratitude quiets the inner turmoil and restores what truly matters. Beautifully expressed. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

thank you God for libraries!
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Powerful and concise poem, Demar! When a library disappears, a community loses access not only to books but to memory, imagination, history, and one another. Your final enlargement of that loss gives this tiny poem tremendous force. Excellent write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
