-bag of shadows

Fenom a very dark write..

full of complex feelings..

I feel you on this ink..

with love and respect Brenda

Nice to see you, Brenda. I haven't been writing much, sorry you can relate, lol... Thanks...

I totally get this, my friend. Very complex indeed. It's always strange to compliment someone's pain but it's a very fine write, nonetheless.

Yes, the same as my hesitant joy that others can relate. Thanks for stopping in, Hades...

starkness, well crafted. a series of vivid portraits in the style of Edvard Munch...

I'm humbled by your comment and thankful for your visit as usual, John...

I wondered where you went..!

Oh, and this is
excellent...

Thanks as always for stopping by, paul...

Great writing and dont worry i got another bag just incase your demons get hungrey

Thanks for the kind words and visit... JW.... One bag is enough for me. .. ;)

it's a little sack cloth & ashes, no? but for all that, it reads well ...
"I'm used to foreseeing my death
in the eyes of the ones I care for most;
love may as well be strangers I've past
uninterested in trying to make eye contact"
... "passed" is the correct past participle for pass, unless i'm reading all wrong... in which case, ignore me & just carry on
*
i like the play of death/dark/shadows, it's got a nice continuity to it ...
"where it feels deceivingly safe
to sit and feed demons
from my bag of shadows"
... got some utterly deranged imagery from that (love it though) it's quite padded walls, straight jackets & lunatic mutterings
^^^^
quite partial to those lines for some reason ltm

anyhoooos, interesting ink Ed. the hopelessness is palpable ...
... reads a bit differently for you, can't put my finger on why but it's not an unpleasant sort of different
[if that makes sense at all]

Thanks a lot for the awesome critique, my dear. Especially the embarrassing grammar. I was super tired last night. Bleh...           As you know I haven't written much for some time. I've been wanting to do something different. Which you also know. I didn't realize it actually was though, huh...           You're such a fascinating and amazing muse it's been tough to get away from writing about you. You're the one that really turned me on to dark poetry and the beauty of it. I think the dark stuff I write will always have a bit of your influence.

Cunt muffin. ..

This is a really deep piece.
I literally felt the emotions of this write.

It's such a beautifully dark complexity.

Excellent Write Ed!!!

Darker.

Thanks a lot, Steph... Hope you're well.

I definitely think this is a great piece. I get a different aspect each time I read it.

That's very kind of you to say, William. Thanks for stopping in, I'll return the favor...
