SKOL !!!

thank you dearest Ragnar.. love Crim

just another night at the opera, Crim,
the smoke & the whiskey go down smooth;
the beat of the music never quits
& lovers are easy to find...

thank you John yes indeed they are love Crim..

she wolf of the S.S.
I want part of this Valhalla you frequent 😉

thank you graciously Christopher Valhalla is Odin's hall in this case a metaphor for my soul..  love Brenda

My beautiful Dark Angel, you started this piece out almost wistfully but you landed the hell on your feet with those last 2 stanzas! Strong and defiant...almost casually dismissive. Crack that whip, my lady.

So much love for you...

thank you lovely one it is wistful in that it is a past relationship.. my first husband was Sadistically abusive & he has of late come around again.. bringing back memories good & bad.. I realize now he no longer has power over me.. I deeply appreciate the love & your thoughts..  love Crim

Sometimes love can turn us into fools and we go off of emotions instead of logic, but then we wake up and find our voice and strength... I love the ending of this piece because you found your strength and even if it hurts to let you go you did it all the same.... So to that I say hell yeah, Snuff out the memory just like that bud.....

1000 hugs winging their way to you :-)

thank you graciously David for the fantastic comment :) love & hugs Brenda

Take back valhalla and rebuild the walls;
the smoke drifts away when you snuff out the last ember.
Beautiful lady, your strength is contagious,
thank you for sharing...

Dave

thank you my brother Dave for all the love.. love you.. Brenda

This guy is clearly better gone.  My favorite lines:

with that said    
i'll take another drag off my cigarette  
take a good hard drink  
then snuff out your memory    
with the rest of the butts  

That's my kind of closure, simple and very economical.  Fine work Lady Crim!

thank you dearest Sir Crow that's my favorite part too :) love Crim

Love makes fools out of all of us and yet we can't quit it! It is our oxygen. To ignore it would be to die. Excellent write Brenda.

thank you dearest Xmar truer words I can't think of..

love Brenda
