Dark Tides
Never fall in love with a poet.
The stories they'd tell
the frauds they'd try to sell,
just to hide their true selves.
A million emotions and not one
of them real.
Imagine that.
I know you can.

hello lovely Nikki I always write from a place of deep honesty when I write even my fiction is woven from personal truths...I know these types of poets exist but it's not true of us all... you are honestly yourself when you write which I appreciate... I love your photo ❤️

Dear N,
Mmmmm hmmmmm! For me, I read your poem as the poetry is real, the actual chit chat is where the truth is hidden. And that’s why a relationship with another poet can be dodgy. It’s a shell game sometimes, I guess🤷🏻♀️
It’s a fantastic write because it’s gotten me to thinking! As per, you’re writing is thoughtful and direct. Great piece. H🌷

Well now I feel foolish for for wanting to find a sexy Poetess... :p
But then... Maybe that is a different matter entirely...
This is certainly a complex matter, Perhaps...
So...
As a youth... I broke some hearts... (I think maybe I am/was a poet...)
It is something I am really not proud of...
In fact, I tortured myself for... Well... I still do...
But then I fell in love... A love which I lost...
Which I also hold... Until this day...
So...
It seems complex...
But then... I consider myself way different...
This is quite a deep poem Nikki...

The poem reminds me of how second amendment rights should not trample first amendment rights, and that those who do the trampling are commonly unaware of the existence of the eighth amendment.
Ethics, law, poetry...are all concepts in conflation.
And after all of that there is still the gulf between what we say and what we do.
