The Deal

My word Miss Brenda... The demon that you deal with is a tricksy one indeed, one I know too well. I know legions of these demons. They call to me everyday, and lately, they come with permission. Your sons soul is not yours to bargain for, but yours is, and tempting as they may be, those demons tire quickly if you are honest to yourself. only you have power over you. But hey... what do I know... I'm just a drug addict. I love these words, they show a love of yourself and your son. and they show that you are strong. we love you and wish you peace, especially through the tempestuous nights.

I know you're right David I can't really bargain for his freedom but I can try and choose right so when I do try to support him I'm doing it from a good place.. thank you dear soul for hearing me tonight and showing me love I'm fighting for all I'm worth not to join in on the party that's going on outside.. sending love your way..

xoxo Brenda

Sending prayers your way Crim. A mighty powerful piece from a loving, strong loving heart!

Difficult dreams to weave from smoke - well expressed and liked

thank you most kindly love Crim..

It's always easy to fall back into bad habits when it's just our ass on the line but we whole to our loved ones to be strong for them. Nobody is perfect, Crim, what counts is the lengths you are willing to go to help your son. It's a battle I know you can win. I believe in you.

thank you Darkest Lord I'm determined to do right by him no matter what the outcome..

Sweet Crim, your monsters ahead I don't envy
Beauty is the love.. that of a parent for child
Though our offspring have their own journeys
Our best we hope for is our strengths not our faults
Covet thy sword and shield through ink
Clarity and intuition finds... in a settled mind  
our community is our support... as you see you are well loved
know one another in form... no, but in soul through our scribe
We are all connected in conscience...
Focused thoughts and prayers along your journey sending
Love David

Aaaawww Crim I pray the hand you're dealt in this 'deal' comes

thank you dearest Poe..

love Crim

Oh my, if you ever had a reason to clean yourself up,
you have just given it to us in the magnificent poem,
Brenda. I have my arm around your shoulders,
metaphorically speaking.

thank you Jerry you warmed my heart greatly with your comment..

love Brenda

Poetry has saved many a lives, Crim.
Both as written and/or read. The Muse
has called you forth - and love will lead
you the rest of the way if you trust.

Children are a gift to us; however, many
do not realize the impact of that gift,
or the power of that love until tested.
Only a mother would sacrifice herself
for the welfare of her child so deeply
for the art and the power of poetry.

You are a gift to us; a light unto a
path many have never walked. But,
I am proud to be along side the path
with whatever light I can hold up for
you that you can see your steps.

Love and respect,

T.

thank you so much sage one yes he is indeed a gift and I will do my upmost to support and be a good influence to him and continue to write about it on the days I struggle..

love Crim

I wish I could offer up prayers, but I can't. All I can do is send you positive vibes and the warmest of ehugs and the knowledge that as always I wish the best of everything for you - luv and hugs :-)

an excellent poem :-)

Just to send my love!
I have already commented on this situation in another poem of yours and I think you are improving a lot. :)
Poetry!

Big kiss,
Art

thank you Art for the love..

love Crim

I can feel the heartfelt honesty in this plea, reads like a prayer from the heart of a mother.
I have had similar conversations with God for my own son, made my own offerings. Basically, we will give anything. and just recalling the feeling makes me cry.

much love to you, this is one hell of an awesome poem. xx

aw beautiful Miki you have such a beautiful soul here's to our sons success in life..

love Brenda

Crim, you're a brave and loving lady to lay it on the line for your son.  I don't think you need to sell your soul or strike bargains with powers high or low.  I suspect you have the will to do it without divine or satanic intervention.  You can manage without the white powder Lady Crim.  You're a marvel, and it shows here.  Done deal!

thank you Sir Crow I'm starting to really feel like I can and should..

p.s I think that quiet voice talking to me was God..

love Crim

Great read Crim. Your poetry lately has been amazing.

On a side note: I believe in you! 😁

thank you graciously DC I cherish you..

love Crim
