Clandestine controversies and other miscellaneous whatnots
.
feeling untouchable
glowing
perfect rarity
powered to fully charged
because you
dug in—
excavating me
..
amongst forgotten relics
utterances sound
a stubborn admittance...
knowing
versus vague illusion
pride is barely
solace
still, it's a safe place
where nothing
and no one
can hurt or maim
i shelter.... there
from cruel erosion
brave the battering
feel each ache
with every crash that comes ashore
silently weathering
a salty agony
waiting
to be lifted up
carried away on carefee breezes,
perhaps feather-like kisses
upon a weary cheek
just
biding
the
tide
of [my own] fledgling angels
...
tender bouquets of speech
some war words, too
underscore this brittle heart
almost unseen
through such fine lines,
curves that precariously wind
leading
to
all that
fevered dreams
were
made
of
....
quiet relief
folds me in it's arms
Hallelujah never sounded
so transformative,
an ethereal beauty
echoing from chest— skybound
her music reverberating
there's no rhyme
or doubt
only
choices made
where being free
is the only.

Author's Note
Various thoughts and feelings over the past few months while I've been trying to slowly heal up from a long long battle with covid .... A kind of poetic rambling infused with some highs and lows throughout, so it's a bit all over the place...

Your comments are beyond kind and a much needed balm for a weathered soul, I can't thank you enough, Luna. The RL add just pushed me into a stratosphere of joy.... I'm deeply appreciative. It's always difficult to see where something so sort of jumbled might land.... so I truly adore the feedback.
Hope to get around to basking in all your new beautiful writing, asap... it's like a treasure trove!
I'm grateful to you for taking the time, lovely lady.
It means a lot to me.

I'm not @ 100% but feeling much better, thank you for the well wishes, Brenda.
The cough is the bane of my existence! I had several issues but the breathing problems because of issues with my lungs, almost caused me to be hospitalized. Fortunately I was treated swiftly by my Dr and with breathing treatments, steroids and especially the oral antivirals, it became easier, eventually... yeah, it's been rough. All this and I was completely vaccinated with the booster, too!.... I'm lucky, because if I wasn't, I probably wouldn't be here right now. 😮
It's always a pleasure to see you 🦋... I'm so glad you stopped by, dear lady... I love feeling the love.

It's been a long hard battle, indeed. Still taking it day to day.
I'm so glad you found something that you enjoyed here.... that is more meaningful to me than you know.
I often read your poems and I strive to leave my 2 cents but my mind is still playing catchup and comments aren't as easily accessible, it seems these days.... Just know I'm there, within the fabric of each of your published DUP pieces reading and rereading your truly beautiful work.... loving the places you take me.
All the best,

As I read this
I felt a poem within a poem
Forming...transforming...morphing
Sound and sentiments
Sexual and other worldliness
Too easy too drip
Into your seams of stanzas
A response team of direct verbiage
Explicit..exquisite
To elaborate around such elegance
To dance and enhance
Waltz into a realm of wizened
Wordplay
Yeah..
I'll pause here
And leave the rest to the Imagination

I cannot help but absolutely adore your deep delve into the various facets of my motivations and the layers of emotional, physical and mental space that are potentially occupied here.... only a lovely few see what you have been so wonderfully apt at seeing.
Leaving a little bit to the reader's imagination is such a rush that fills me with an abundance of joy.... Thank you for reminding me of that warmth and for feeling it yourself, dear, Naajir.
I always look forward to your visits, the feedback you leave me and how delicious it makes me feel.... Such an amazing pleasure! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts

Dear BV!
Welcome back! What a to do! Clearly being unwell hasn’t dulled your poetic chops. I enjoyed this slow and easy constitution. To me, its theme felt ethereal and out of body. Wanting to be carried away. A break from reality for a bit. I could just be making that up because it’s what works for me but I loved the imagery and that’s where my mind went. (Nothings changed here, I’m still a ditz) wonderful write!
So happy to see you back xx

Re. Clandestine controversies and other miscellaneous whatnots
The scent of diesel exhaust in the air, as the hard hat wearing handsome worker drives their excavator onto your terrain. The hardened fingers of the bucket excavates your sanctuary crypt. With precision & skill, hammers off the lock, exposing you once again to flesh and light.
Lifting you up into their arms, singing as you are carried back into your home and relative safety. The healing has begun.
Wonderful poem sharing your journey, inner turmoil and seeking passion and tranquility.
On this valentine’s day may your “construction worker” liberate and heal you. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Was not aware of the Covid affliction; hopefully that is behind you and you are well.

Dearest Leo.... I just didn't want to my issues all out there when I was in the thick of it. I am private, despite some of my poems alluding otherwise... haha. I eventually let people in, like I did now. I'm still healing up, it's been quite a long and stressful, fraught journey just to get to this point! I thank you so much for your kind words and lovely healing wishes.

Thanks so much for reading, KP.
Covid has been one of the biggest battles of my life, so far. It's crazy that even with the vaccinations and the booster how sick I ended up getting. I am thankful, though.... I can only imagine if I wasn't vaccinated what could have ultimately been my fate.
I appreciate the healing thoughts and bask within them.
Sorry I've been incommunicado, I hope to rectify that soon. Missed you and missed writing.

Oh, my love, I didn't know you'd been battling with the beast called Covid. You clearly are on the upside of recovery as can be seen in this crackling poem. The struggle is put into crystal clear words that sing of a soul rising from the dust into the bluest of skies that knows that the only way is up. I feel for you so deeply my darling. You are my forever angel and though I am so heartbroken to know you have been fighting this beast I am overjoyed to see that you are back to writing and doing it so superbly. Your poem is a roaring dragon of triumph over that terrible illness. I can see every riot of your powerful resistance to the bug. You really are on top of your art, my friend. The searing phoenix in your verse is written in smoking words here. I love you and am eager to see you in complete healing I know you will.

You are truly medicine incarnate.... a balm for my mind, body and soul. I am absolutely imbued with all of your thoughtful kindness, pure desire for wellness and love sent out through the ether, that I feel refueled with renewed motivation to continue to find my poetic voice once again, whilst attempting to fully heal my body in tandem.
Your care and lovely sentiments embrace and affix, infusing me....willing me healthy and full of vigor.
To say I'm thankful and blessed by your good will, is to put it mildly, my lovely. You are just what the doctor ordered and I'm fervently grateful you've come to meet me here, sharing your beautiful essence... a life force felt and very much adored.
All my love in return,

Being on the road, with many ‘blind spots’ connection wise, I catch up where everybody left off, it seems.

Could very well be that I invite you on my next birthday party.
Please be sure to have your princess diadem on your head.

Re: Re. Clandestine controversies and other miscellaneous whatnots
Damn, Tim!
Your thoughtful consideration is really making me double and triple check my attempt at a decent reply. I am still so fucking foggy and out of sorts sometimes, I notice that I've had to go back and really edit my comments because when I first wrote some, they ultimately ended being barely coherent when I followed up later and read them again. Sheesh, how embarrassing! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, no offense meant. It's all me and my ongoing issues that linger from covid... I know you understand. - 💙
The lighthouse of recovery is an absolute amazing way to put it. It's definitely out there, you can see it on the horizon but it's still a potential hazard to get to!!
Great idea and imagery, my friend.
I'm so grateful and glad you can still find value and worth within my writing... I was very concerned about that being the case.... I deeply appreciate you easing my mind a little bit.
Your thoughts are meaningful and so helpful to me. I can't thank you enough for being here and taking the time to share your feelings with me.
Hope all is well with you,
🌹💙 💙

Jeeesssuuusss. You are such a powerhouse. I fucking felt this. Had to read three times before I didn’t feel absolutely gutted reading it. Then I still felt gutted.
This. This is how it feels.

Re: Re. Clandestine controversies and other miscellaneous whatnots
You make me mad happy, B... like, my cheeks hurt from big smiling, kinda happy. I think I fucking missed you, the amount of which I was unaware of fully, until now, right in this moment. Maybe it's because I am how I am; being so incredibly touched by your work in such a viscerally compelling way or maybe it's because you exude and exemplify such a strong beautiful open essence that I find utterly alluring.... within that mixture is the answer, I'm sure.... It all comes down to me conveying my deepest appreciation... 🙏🏻
*mind blown*
I'm just feeling something all together new and different when reading your kind feedback. I think I've felt so 'out of body' and unlike myself for so long that your thoughts have left me re-tethered to some remnants of what is actually the real, true me and not some foggy mindless sick fuck....and that feels powerfully impactful.
You work magic, lady.... and damn, how I love it.
All my warmest thank you's.
So glad you stopped by,
🌹💙 💙

theres significant grace and intelligence here, lines mentionable in plethora, i digress.
I'm for one glad dawns recovery radiates back into your flesh. There's the talent (right obvious) but then the flare.. word choice, line crafting in deliberate (yet purposefully in absence) I know you'll understand.. So trails, tribulations, tragedy...as artists (gloriously displayed here) we never forget the triumph, that miraculous lining.. it's in delivery of craft.. "Purposed intent" as i say..thank you for being incredible with your gift...Sin

Thanks for that vote of confidence, bk... It means so much to me.
It's good to be reminded that I'm not flying solo with that particular occupied space....Luckily, things are slowly improving and not nearly as messy as they were... lol..
Taking it day to day.
Love seeing you here....big hugs.

I can relate to your experience from a different angle. It's been 4 months since I broke my hip, and although, I no longer use a walker or cane, I am still fighting to get my full gait back and still struggle w/ stairs.
Time and more time is the only answer, my beloved Blue.
hugs,
buddhakitty.

I'm so happy for you that you've made the progress you have! All my continued best wishes for tackling those stairs in leaps and bounds... ;)

I'm so sorry for your loss, LilD... sending my most heartfelt condolences - 🙏🏻
I think people forget that even though you're vaccinated, it's no guarantee you won't get sick. However for me, I know it was ultimately a lifesaver.
I'm taking it day to day; it's this long haul nightmare that I am trying to recover from that really has been brutal. Carrying on, though... I deeply appreciate the positivity, sent.
It's so good to hear from you. I hope you really enjoyed your travels, it looked absolutely incredible!

Re. Clandestine controversies and other miscellaneous whatnots
International Women's Day -`2023 Istanbul
The Beyoğlu District Governor's Office
has banned the 21st Feminist Night March
in İstanbul's Taksim Square to mark International Women's Day.
In response, the organizers of the march said they would defy the ban as they did in the past several years.
" March 8 cannot be banned !
Our Feminist Night March, which began in 2003 with nearly 100 women, has grown steadily despite all the oppression, bans and obstructions.
As every year, we'll be on the streets to fill the squares and give each other strength this year!
"Against the patriarchy, capitalism, the profiteering system you rely on, heterosexism, transphobia, racism, nationalism, religious oppression,
exploitation, impoverishment, imprisonment, borders-sieges, war, and male-state violence, we'll continue to be on the streets with our revolt.
"Just as every year, we're going to be in Taksim at 19.30 to fill the squares, give strength to each other and take to the streets."
