This is wickedly potent, would not expect another form from you to address such issues. Brilliant write

thank you Soul I cherish your comments with love Crim

Really fine, Crim.  You note your light and dark sides with no apologies.  "This place is sacred to me."  Could that be a forum for writing poetry?  And that ocean of peace, with salt for cleaning our wounds.  The waves need not be disruptive for friendship.  

thank you Crowfly and yes it could be a forum though you won't see me entering in those debates lol.. so much wisdom in your words no the waves need not disrupt friendship :) with love Crim

Brenda, this pointed, forthright, provoking

"you've made yourself clear
let's swim in the ocean of peace
as the salt cleanses our wounds"

simply beautiful, the last verse really touched me, but then big boys dont cry, right?

A truce to care for our wounds and heal the heart that has been hurt by these painful events. Nice write Crim.

this sacred place, these hallowed halls of poetry, worth defending, Crim. we try to keep it a peaceable kingdom...

It's refreshing to me that you realize you
possess light as well as that darkness you
so often connect with...ur light denotes hope
n I hope that signal a sweeter, gentler future
for you my friend :)

I will do my best Poe to tap into nature more that is the light in the world and in me thank you Poe I appreciate you with love Crim

Brenda, mia bellisima amica, you write this heartbreaking pieces with such poise. molto bella.

thank you beautiful one you touch my heart with your loveliness with love Brenda

ahh..the perfection in brevity!  Could sense the strong stance taken, the duality yet tge dominant guiding form. Sharp incisive n increasing in intensity (which many poets lose as they reach ending verses) as i read thru..late here but a v.worthy read from.ur v mighty pen Crim! Tq fr this:)

thank you Uma you bless my heart with your comment and add :) with love Crim

"Divining guile
pooling around my heart
slithering in the garden of my mind"

Fantastic word play - I especially love 'diving guile'.

Breaking through that venomous bracken to arrive at a lighter offering of healing.

you have a keen eye Franko what you said was spot on and beautiful thank you with love Crim :)

Beautiful stuff, Crim. I like this edgy philosophical side of your poetry, I like it a lot. I can totally relate to the thoughts and emotions being expressed here too.

It's a strange coincidence for me that yesterday I was in the surf with a mate, talking about the cleansing power of the ocean. It's some kind of magic.

thank you Mr. Case for such an understanding and beautiful comment.. yes I've found the ocean to be a magical place as well.. with love Crim
