Let the weekend begin.

The Comedown.

 

Drank the Bottle Empty.

Momentarily Uninhibited in My world

Then The Comedown Came.

Devil Meets God.

 

The Devil Met God

They Shook Hands and Embraced.

Devil Said Hello Brother.

    Interesting concept I guess depending on which god is being referred to in a Christian world or what sect one belongs to brother or son would be appropriate. Duality in the Jannus mode old as time it carries on. Good write Tobani

    Comedown is so much better than hangover🙏🏻🕊️

    "Devil Said Hello Brother...." This turn of phrase is mind-blowing !... One wonders what reply he got... By the way, is the devil always a "he" ?!...

      Who knows, when I eventually meat him/ her I will know. Thank you for your comment, very much appreciated

      Tobani, these hit like quick jolts…sharp and stripped to the bone. The brevity makes them linger…letting the weight of each moment settle in after the words are gone. Powerful snapshots, my friend. A total fave and I hope more see it my way! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        Thank you for your feedback, I feel you understand what I am getting at with these, they haven't gone down that well I feel, but thats ok, I like to test, enjoy the rest of your day

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Yeah...it's not about the faves but the flexibility as an artist. You have that, my friend! And this went down well for me! So there's that...for what it is worth! Hope your day rocks.

              Words of wisdom. However, God is now watching you. Or is it the Devil. Whatever, you are in deep trouble. Your muse may go missing and be held for ransom Sorry I couldn't resist. - Phil A..

                It might well be held to ransom, some would say that's a good thing. Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated

                Ahem. I see, you and he have had a teté-a-teté. God's rendition puts the devil to shame, which is why he advises you against God's and tells us what to think. So far as I can see his lies are the closest he can get to attaining what is forbidden him, "...I shall be as God--" as we see what happened to our first parents when they believed that lie and disobeyed. But enough. Twas the reason souls imbibe mind-altering substances. Beautifully rendered in delightful brevity with a curious poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                    My pleasure, you're welcome. Rather, thank you.
