"it's cementing deep loneliness
permanently sealing"

indefinite, a kind of stifling.
how your quill paints.
a ripping
a empty space
yet memories so they are cast
woven in vivid lace.

moving, i shall say.
as my eyes ventured down the page

Lovely poetic comments are a weakness of mine!!.... and yours are ohh so very lovely, Ms. Thank you for sharing such generous sentiments, I'm touched and so very happy you enjoyed reading.... and found yourself moved.

My humble thanks,

When love is good it is good, but there are no guarantees in love.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

You're correct... no guarantees in life!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and always showing up, Francisco!

Much appreciated - 🌹

Maybe an exorcism for the ghosts of the past?  Or will we find Jimmy Hoffa buried next to your memories? Lost then will always be a vacuum inside us that nothing can fill because the lost was as unique as to memories. New memories and love sit side by side with the old ones that we try and deny but ghosts still haunt me still even though my soul has moved on. .... Can I borrow your cement mixer?

I don't think there is always (or has to be) a hole or a vacuum left by loss...I think time heals, in a big way and yes, scars are definitely left. I feel having a vacuum remain, means (in my opinion) you're needing additional help in processing and reconciling that particular loss.... Memories do compound, yet I've had enormous loss and I know that time lessens the hardest most brutal memories, softening.... making them a tiny bit easier to carry..... haunted, maybe... but manageable.....

Yep, that cement mixer is always spinning... welcome to it, any time!!!... lol

Thanks for sharing your amazing thoughts and insights as well as the awesome list add...
I humbly thank you, dear poet 🙏🏻

Much love and deep respect,

The title works so well, gives me the feeling of movement, which you maintain so adroitly throughout.

I just love the idea of art & alchemy as parallels.

I feel like I see that here.

Its like...  The psychology books speak of grief as a process but do not address the alchemy of the thing,
which is something that I feel like you do, here.

Yeah...  Such detached self awareness it takes to produce something like this, a production and creation
capable of interacting with the alchemical process of others.

Super dope.  :)))

Bad Ass even.  ;)

Yeah Blu, this is some powerful stuff.

Beautiful.

Your comments sweep away the doubts and concerns that I almost always have, when publishing my poems— I truly thank you for that, Cipher.... it means the world to me.

My heart swells with joy that you found pleasure within my words.... all smiles and gratitude, here.

Much love, dear friend 🙏🏻

Hey there, DW
Your comments are so lovely and instill a sense of understanding. I think you're very correct, as far as certain doors and souls being open. Terrifically apt point.

Doubts will always find their way, it's how I'm wired— it's my ability to bounce back and turn my doubts into something else, like a poem or a song that reinforce and contribute to a healthy path. ahead, which make all the difference.

J’apprécie vos compliments magnifiquement élégants, je suis touché et oh si reconnaissant!

Much love,
🌹 - 💙

Awww, DW.... You're a sweetheart! There's deep joyfulness and a true warmth that emanate from your exceptional comments. I agree, we each forge our own paths ahead, taking heed and the utmost care I keep the colors vivid the artistry plentiful and the flowers forever blooming..!.

Yes, I was touched, as I am once more - 🙏🏻

Beaucoup d’amour et de respect,

this is so beautiful. I know I should've checked your work sooner...

I became a super fan :D

Awww... That's truly one of the nicest comments I've ever had, hands down. (blushes) Thank you, very much... I'm humbly grateful and a bit shocked....haha...

You've made my night!!
... and I'm all smiles that you found enjoyment.

In warmest appreciation,

Beautiful words Blue. Even as one deals with the ache, there is also the feeling of healing.
Nicely done.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, W. Healing is always a tricky process, that's for sure. I am so grateful for the opportunity to write away some of that ache. Thanks for the understanding, my friend!


be well and be safe!
