December

Dear D,

Sheesh! From the first line straight through to the last this is captivating and engrossing and chock full of beautiful imagery. The second stanza especially is so very lively and full of energy.
A delight to see you and a wonderful write. H🌷

Thank you Lady H I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year 💖

Thank you Rianne my friend, Lou is really a special person.

Such beautiful language! The first stanza sets a magical winter scene, and the other two just radiate love & tenderness. (The tube socks and stalactites made me picture a jogger with frost on his beard on a cold morning... though that might be far from what you intended!)
Lovely to read you again.

Thank you. 💖 It's definitely a wintery poem so that imagery works, I think its important to paint imbued images, so it's something I shoot for.

I know someone who is the master of understatement and he would simply say "This is something." And something it is. And something more. You can't teach a person to write such breadths of imagery and metaphor. It's innate.

Oh, and rockabilly is such an underused poetic word. You rock this thing they call poetry my friend.

Thank you my friend. 💖

I love the hum and chant... and of course the reading adds so much.
There is something cleansing about the cold as it devours you.
And it unlocks a time of introspection and contemplation.
The darkness and shadows preparing you for a time of renewal.
It is an ancient process that exists since the beginning of time.
I love 'atavistic', I had to look that one up to be sure the meaning.
What an incredible word. The Djinn's breath speaking riddles and wishes.
Always wanton... Nothing can stop the determination of a steam engine.
Even the ice does not slow the journey, it only transforms it.
And the heart will lead us forward into a new spring.  
I must admit I love the cold and ice, that cold contemplation.
The feeling of the frigid wind on the skin is so exhilerating.
"Fingers in your hair" Oh the feeling of those tingles down the spine.
The feeling of that admiration and love is just beautiful.
That is something that will always warm the heart, making it burn bright.
Step onto my palm, spirit in your tube socks... that is so erotic to me.
I could definitely feel the lips touching the ear and..
And from there, everything they omit in thier bible unfolds.
No need for calculus or borders. Just flowing down the steppes.
Into the eyes, into... me. Really beautiful Daniel, Love it.

Thank you. 💖 You really captured the essence of what I was hoping for with this, the subtly sensual, mystical, transformative journey of life and exploring each other.

Beautifully done, Daniel.  The very first line set the tone for what was to come, and it did not disappoint!  The landscapes you paint with your words are always so rich and full and inviting.  A truly lovely read 💖.

Thank you sugah 💖 I always hope to paint an imbued milieu, I think it has a wonderful alchemy, from the minds eye inward to the heart.

Always look forward to your spoken pieces, they bring a certain passion and depth.
Amazing.

Thank you Walter. 💖 I had purchased the track for limited use on Soundcloud the same day I did the writing, so it seemed like they were meant to go together.

It's not in your usual style of long and elaborate but I love the impact of your words in this wonderful poem dedicated to friend and true friendship.  The winter chill is at the tip each of the imagery yet there's warmth.
The light is on in this December and you hold the matches my friend to keep it warm  xox

I'll consider connecting with you my Christmas present. Good to see you here. 💖

Friendships, especially revived..are the best presents.
It's always a wonderful surprise getting to know people on deeper level, so pleasure is mine Daniel :)

It's always nice to get a site award haha, I'd highly recommend the writing of Strangeways_Rob, Rianne, Blue_Velvete, Lepperochan, Kristina X, Vee, Nomoth, some real talent floating around here brother and thank you.

Rockabilly and Moonshine.
Fantastic piece!!!

haha thank you 😊🌹 my next one is ready to go but I can't see to find a quiet time of day or night to record it, I need a sound studio 😅

"You are everything they omit in their Bible,
Squabbling over pulpit calculus,
Forgetting the aether Ganges,
Flowing down the solemn steppes in your eyes."

Wow Im at a loss with your ridiculous words that are absolutely superb.
Thats a compliment by the way. <3

Me and my day drinker group may need to be sober to discuss this right here, This  deserves the sober version, at least first. Love your ways, DC. <3

haha *tickles* I'm so tired I feel like I've been day drinking, I bought a huge dark roast coffee around 1pm yesterday and didn't fall asleep til 5am, awake at 7 for work. 😅

Thank you 😊 I wrote this for a lady very special to me. 💖

What a find. I was on vacation when this was posted and was off DUP for a bit. I feel like I stumbled upon a treasure. Love the music and chanting. Superb poem, Sir.

Aw thank you 💖🙏🏻 it's kind of a sentimental piece, comes from the heart.
