A lovely writing ..
Especially like the last verse ‘ plant a healing seed ‘
Some people are religious .. some people more ‘ spiritual ‘

A poem that is holding to most people\'s feeling today. A poem of spirituality more than religion. Nicely stated Tristan

This poem can be read as a tender declaration: simple, steady, and quietly profound. It reclaims the language of faith and devotion not for institutions, but for love made real and present in another person. The repetition of “I don’t need religion” becomes less a rejection and more a release (of dogma, of distance) in favour of something human, immediate, and healing. In its final lines, where heartache meets hope, the poem blossoms into something like prayer, but with open hands instead of folded ones. 🕊️🙏🏻

While I\'ve never had any problem in that direction (beyond the occasional ridicule in more youthful times), Your short poem states in the clearest possible terms the pressure placed on men to behave in socially constructed norms, so perhaps this topic cannot be raised too often.
Valuable write, Tristan.

Very relatable write, I am fully aware I can show my feelings its ok these days, but I very rarely do, all my crying has always as an adult been on the inside, I know I shouldn\'t but I still percieve it to be a weekness and it makes me feel vulnerable, nicely expressed and written

Must I turn up at every poem, to \'deface\' them, to make inane comments on them, etc? - answer; yes! It\'s that old Orchi, says Fido. He don\'t care. He just barges in with any old rubbish. heehee.

Inside the Sky, it\'s a very big sky. I always find as a woman any good man really does put it all on his shoulders and carries it regardless of any obstacles, I see the behind the scenes here and it\'s fabulous, fabulous in the fact that you have made it come alive with all its tragedy and with so much dignity. Now I know you have a very very kind heart and I also know that your an artist of great talent. As a woman I appreciate what a great man goes through, I see it every day but not all women can see it, and you have just shown the world. 💜

We all should all feel we can cry .. without that feeling of ‘ we can’t ‘ or being worried about upsetting others , or feeling embarrassed .
‘ Sometimes ‘ others can make us feel bad for letting our emotions out ..

Intricate rhyme woven in a persistently formed gender specific cultural training of male toughness and emotionlessness image that persists despite knowledge to its contrary. How persistent is the effects of cultural expectation and past learning. How we are stuck in the cement of our past learning and culture. Even the roots of knowledge have a hard time breaking cracks in this pavement. Very nice a fave

We live in a greedy species, in a greedy world, under a greedy system. Greed is preached as desired (He who dies with the most toys wins) A strong poem Tristan.

A magnificent song here dear Tristan,
In the land of the free
There’s always a cost,
But the cycle can end
Before you’re too lost.
Just open your eyes,
It’s not too late to see.
You gotta stand up and fight.
If you’re gonna…be free
I could say I could hear Bob Marley singing this
A piece of art with is timeless sad but so true. If you celebrate independence I wish you a fabulous day dear friend. 🌹

The Cycle of a Dark Seed
arqios said:
This poem strikes like a tempest, capturing the raw, untamed turbulence of a young mind wrestling with profound darkness and emotion. Its vivid, visceral imagery reveals a struggle against inner shadows and a desperate search for control or release. Beneath the storm lies a haunting vulnerability; a voice grappling with despair, yet also reaching for acknowledgment and catharsis. This piece is a testament to the depths of human thought, where chaos and creativity intertwine, forging powerful and evocative expressions.

The pent up anger of youth feeling violence might be the only way to express themselves or be heard, a raw and dark step inside a worried mind, enjoyed the read

The energy is fearce it\'s a very very dark piece, brilliant, to say you wrote it as a young lad, I study the minds of young people and this says you had much talent, where that came from then, well you know, where you are today is a lesson to us all. 🌹 Born to write.

If hunger and famine was not such a serious theme, that guy looks a bit under-fed there. Doh!
And then I make some weird comment - \'Oooh, not today, thank you; don\'t fancy the theme of that poem! lol.

The anger of youth in this poem as well as violence. Even in metaphor it expounds force and the vigor of youth. Energetic and passionate it cries out.
