Collaboration
each one is special to me
unique and surprising in different ways
honestly, I'm perfectly fine not doing another
so maybe this can be my farewell
first one I ever did was with my future wife
we were just teens in high school
it was a poem about our struggles with bullying
something we knew much about
"weaving their snide remarks
attacking relentlessly
damaging my mental stability
monsters who look like people
abusive, forgetting the shit things they do
but I never forgot
no, it's like yesterday those feelings"
I didn't do another till years later
believe it was with Dave
about the times I first came to this site
we took inspiration from rock lyrics
and did our own tribute to the greats
"In my world, I paint it black
Let it be, I am the walrus
Strange days, that light my fire
Smoke on the water, gives me a rush
Purple haze, such a voodoo child
Like a rolling stone, rust never sleeps"
I worked with a lot of amazing talent
inspiring me with their creativity
poems about giants, and anime
vampires and marionettes
stuff that opened my horizon
"Come show me how you move to the beat of my heart
Laying on my chest you dance like a king
I'll be your queen tonight now show me how to swing
Fill me with madness your little gift to me
You can be the fishes I will be your sea"
even though there was never a bad collaboration
there were relationships that were strained
admittedly, it was probably my own stupidity
funny thing is they were some of my favorites
"slithers in the head demoness
she wants to taste your pride
bitter sweet vile'caine
do a line and melt your brain
she sees you are up for war
she desires to know you more"
and of couse there were those that are unforgettable
touching my heart with their kindness
broken pieces to a beautiful puzzle
these people I consider poetic royalty
that I was lucky enough to work with
"This shall pass too, my dear
Anchor belief in Yourself
and don't let the lightning of hatred
strike you down
or tempest of wrath rip you apart
for these are the tools of the miserable
and the spiritually dead
to pull you down and leave you a wreck"
so that's it
from school room halls
gritty raw
imaginative
hate fucks
and a work of art
it's been a pleasure

*There's something to be said for genuine kindness, humility and the openness in sharing ideas. I have found collaboration opens you up allowing you to learn to mesh with others; making you more empathic and well rounded personally, which 100% translates to your writing. I love how you tapped into those feelings for me! 👍🏻
A heartfelt thank you in sharing the benefit all your years here has taught you.... it's priceless!!
Phenomenal ink!

Poetry can be very fun, and collaborations are some of the best moments. It was hard deciding what lines stood out and what poets made an impact on me. I mean, really all of them have. But have to pick hehe 😁 DUP gave me the chance to meet really wonderful people. And yea, some jerks too lol. But they are best ignored.
Thanks for the read, friend 😁 it is always appreciated.

My sweet friend, even my thousand thank yous won't be enough to show my gratitude to you for offering to collab with me not one but on two ocassion. That was my first ever n only collab with a poet and it was fantastically a wonderful experience as you were soooo patient and understanding. Not only it was super fun n exciting to work with you but also I felt immensely comfortable to having pen poems together.😊 I have read some of your collabs with her poets and they are magnificent. You have that ability to effortlessly gel with the writing style of others.
I hope that you would continue collaborating with other poets.It was truly a rich experience working with you and if you would be still interested then I would love to collab with you some day again when I get into the zone... 😊
I'm gonna treasure this piece of yours forever along with the poems we co wrote . You are gem of a person, DC😊🌹

That's such a wonderful comment. I think the work we did was one of my favorite if not my top pick. They both had such a strong message. We bleanded very well. It would be nice to do another but I also feel like I have made such great work with people that not sure if I want or need more. Maybe one day.
Thanks so much for the read and the wonderful opportunity to work with you 😁

To be in a collaboration with you must be a beautiful experience. I must admit I am horrible at collaborations although they have happened spontaneously. I find myself with lot of anxiety about meeting the other person's expectations. I am much harder on myself than they would ever be I suppose. And I guess it kind of introduces a type of writer's block, but sometimes it just comes naturally and you say damn this just fits. Your writing just fits with people. And I am sure many have been honored to share in that with you. That is a gift. You are honest and I feel you do not try to manipulate; something I find rarely in my life I suppose. So whether it be bullying, passion, love, depression, or sadness, or whatever is felt... you will no doubt find someone who wants to write life with you. Some people will try to take that from you sending you clear messages of hate that make you want to run the other way. But when you see the good people you say I am tired of running. And it helps you overcome the constant attacks. To share and know you are appreciated by people that make it worth it to stay despite the hate. You are one of those people.

I try not to think too much about the expectations but find myself getting nervous as I don't want to mess the poem up. Over all it's fun to do. You get to know people and even gain friends. I have always had a good experience with collaborations even when the friendships ended. I think what I usually end up telling people before doing a poem with them is lets just start writing and if it sucks then we had a good time and don't need to release anything.
Thanks you very much for the read, friend 😁
