The Sparsity of Sand
sorenbarrett said:
\"Chest\'s chambered millstone sinks\" What a great line with such metaphoric implication. Never thought of the heart as a millstone but it fits so well for many with a heavy heart especially when cast upon a sea of guilt. Most lovely tor that line alone a fave

Falling, Failing
arqios said:
Hearing “Falling, Failing” as a song changes the feel completely. It’s not just a confession in ink, it’s a lived moment in sound.
The steady, blues‑tinged groove gives the verses a weary sway, like someone nursing a drink at closing time, while the chorus lands like a release: raw, simple, and aching in its repetition. The bridge, with “Your silence shocks me, like a violent shove”, cuts through the smoothness with a jolt, and in performance it feels like the emotional peak before sliding back into that resigned, late‑night refrain. It’s the kind of song you can imagine echoing in a dim bar, where the audience feels every drop of that slow fall.

This is so lovely. I find it difficult to separate music from poetry...they were meant to be together it seems. Well done!

Falling, Failing
Friendship said:
The poem explores themes of heartbreak, longing, and emotional turmoil in the context of a romantic relationship that is fading. It conveys a sense of desperation and a yearning for reconnection, highlighting the pain that often accompanies love. Yet it deals with feelings of loneliness and sadness, as the speaker grapples with the decline of a once-strong relationship. It reflects on the struggle to cope with love\'s challenges and the desire to rekindle a lost connection.

Sounds like many a day that I have lived through, barely getting by! That exhausted despair is so familiar...

Friendship said:
This poem conveys a profound emotional drain and a sense of isolation in their struggles, leaving them feeling that there are no solutions to their pain. The poet includes themes of existential crisis, the burden of unanswered questions, and a disconnection from faith and spiritual support, as represented by the \"angels,\" \"saints,\" and \"the church.\" very heavy on my heart. Well written my friend,

Death is so imminent, and we know its destiny. That often either brings hope or despair. Well-written poem from many years ago!

Your message is one of sadness and despair put in words that create clear imagery of hoplessness. I liked this write very much. Nice job.

Religion often does not offer the answers to temporal questions and in practicality seems an obstacle rather than a way. Nicely worded

At times those not said become vivid with those that are said. Perhaps, I didn\'t make sense.
Loved it!

Beautiful and scenic and I am left wondering if those vultures circling have a meaning. Gettysburg the battlefield and a cemetary come to mind.
