Interesting poem.  Keep on writing.

Dear NB,

“ built on broken hearts
and mangled dreams,
falling apart
at their tangled seams—
 
now, I know what it means
to hurt” cut me right to the quick.
It’s a stunning revelation to see one’s life wrapped so neatly within one stanza. This brought to light so many years of wishing things were different. Painfully brilliant and exquisitely relatable.
I found much solace in this piece.

A poet's poet no doubt!!

~~applause~~ Awesome write.

Very nice.

My favorite part, that really hit home:

"I think it's due time
I disarmed my guns"

It reflects an acceptance of coming to peace, whether with a situation or with yourself, that the battle is over for you, there is nothing left worth fighting over/for...or, at least, that's the impression these words say to me.

Acceptance is a hard pill to swallow, and do I know that one first-hand.

Sail off into the horizon, peace is much more valuable than war.  

Hugs to you, dear lovely poet.

Brilliantly written! Absolutely love the ending! Very well done!

Powerful poetry. Great ink, friend.

my brother, my brother!  Hits the Heart

Good one man

NB, another classic. Your narrative is so eloquent and descriptive, it's heartbreaking and yet inspiring.
Excellent spill.

Holy hell...this is a powerful piece of poignant poetry, NB...as a Zen master said, those who carry the past around are condemned to suffer. No regrets...bravo!!!
Cheers...Harry

NB, your originality is always Astounding. Your uncanny ability to impressively express your personal emotions in such a creative descriptive manner through prose is unequaled. This vulnerable write that is highlighted by your fantastic imagery is a beautiful reflection of a steadfast and self aware good man. Excellent Brother!!!!!

Wow I was impressed of the awesome seafaring metaphor you crafted to express the feelings and experience, and how we all rerun and replay hurt scenes. Then you end on a positive note of what's done is done which is a great way to end lamenting muse. Kudos!!!

Plz pleez do read and comment my newest poem too.

Great.  Really liked:
"built on broken hearts
and mangled dreams,
falling apart
at their tangled seams—"

So evocative.

Like this... Peace always brings love and forgiveness.

I've been away from a while but one thing hasn't changed. You still get better with every piece. This is amazing.
