The Thing About This Survivor
I’m on to you
I’ve learned from people far better than you
If I’m uneasy
There’s a reason
I may not know what your game is
But I’ve already been watching you
This girl’s radar is hyper focused
I’ve already been putting the pieces together
Enjoy what you have now
Because what you want
You’re not going to get
The puzzle may not be completed yet
You’re going to help me
And you’re not even aware
Be warned
I may appear weak
But you have no idea
What I’m capable of

“From The Ashes” - My Take
As a Survivor, I can tell you without hesitation there is no such thing as “greater damage” or “worse pain.” If you are a Survivor, your experience, or a series of events, was painful enough to damage you in unimaginable ways. I don’t need to hear what the trauma was, it’s never insignificant if it alters your reality in some measurable fashion. All you need to tell me is“I’m a survivor” and I will know what it means to you. What it means to me. No details required. I’ve also never had another Survivor ask me for the details of my own personal experiences. I don’t waste time comparing notes....

Queen Bee (LibraSoul96)
Don’t mess with a woman
Who knows who she is
‘Cuz my girl does
Her lyrical liasons
Poetical persuasions
Rhythmic gyrations
Are unapologetically her
Determined
Sexy
Confident
Authentic
Creative
Sassy
I wanna hear her words someday
I imagine her poems
Rolling off her tongue
Like sweet honey
Tinged with
The heat
Of habanero
I’ll be the first to buy a ticket
When she hits the big...

The Leader of the Pack (Styxian)
He probably doesn’t think he is
I can see him laughing
Even though I’ve never met him
The unofficial leader of the pack
His poems, poetic masterpieces
The rare times he writes erotica?
It’s like nobody’s business
Even I blush
A sensual and romantic journey
We’re witness to “the DUP romance”
I’m not alone when I say
Newbies with a thirst for greatness
Have looked to him for approval
While sweating for a visit
Like I said, he’s probably laughing
Blushing maybe?
I wonder if he knows this?
The man of steel ...

She Ain’t Broken (brokentitanium)
Her poetry
A tender heart
Wrapped in bad ass
Did you know this woman can sing?
Her voice is powerful
She eases herself into your soul
Brings you home
To the place you want to be
Discovering
You
I can see her
Laying in her hammock
Penning her poetry, her songs
Bringing us along
Life and healing aren’t always easy
But she makes it relatable
So you don’t feel so alone
Thank you, k

Because There Aren’t Enough Words (WillowsWhimsies)
Her light shines brighter than the sun
But she holds it close to her chest
Not wanting to outshine
Even though she does
She stands on the fringe of shadows
No need for over exposure
“I'll just be over here in my little corner
spillin' what I'm feelin'
and doin' what I do”
See what I mean?
She pours her soul
Her heart
Her experiences onto her pages
And yours
With equal measure
Thoughtful, supportive, patient and kind
She’s one of a kind
Her footprints seen ...

Hell Hath No Fury…(Devil’s Child)
He’s the dark side of poetry
With heart
Fed up
He’ll tell you how fucked up
Everything is
But this friend of mine
Has seen it time and time again
How life
Just
Doesn’t
Give
A shit
And I get it
I do
He’s also got one of the kindest hearts
He doesn’t like suffering
Of any kind
It’s too relatable
I see you, my friend, I do
We all hide behind something
And yeah, I may be outing you
But so do you
So, unleash the darkness
Let the fury fly
We can...

The Romantic Bard (The Oralizer)
The Kissing Place
Is magical
But it’s the man behind the words
That makes it so
His romanticism guarantees a swoon
With words that flow effortlessly
Over your body
Like a warm bath
Soothing
Painting lingual masterpieces on fleshy canvas
Your heart will skip a beat
As he lifts you into the paradise of his words
Challenging societal norms
Taboo topics
Nothing is off limits
Respectful and romantic
His poems transport you to a world
Where it’s all about YOU
My friend
A poet trained by Eros ...

Vitamin D (Duende)
She’s the bones you can’t break
Her vulnerability
Stronger than Hercules
Her quest for healing
Inspiring
Her poetry astounding
Honesty and bravery
Riveting
Her word play is out of this world
Instantly attracted to her aura
I knew my life would never be the same
I’m fortunate to have her in my corner
Encouraging me
Getting me ready for the fight
Bandaging my cuts
Soothing my bruises
Giving me the motivational words I need
Then softly pushing me to get back in the ring

A Rhyme Along for Sir Solomon
Solomon_Song and his perfect rhymes
Will put a smile on your face every time
He’s quick with the trivia too
I don’t know about you
But I look forward to his review
Of my poems
‘Cuz I know know he’ll bring it home
With a poem of his own
He’s generous with the compliments
Quoting his favorite elements
Of what you’ve written

And the way he rhymes with ease
