Devastatingly beautiful effects of love's dark endurance...

"Drink last sips      
from chalices of dreams    
ambrosia still wetting bruised lips      
while intimate hushed
goodbyes
echo soul whispers..."

This, this right here is absolute gold and exactly what I think of when I think poetry. I hope one day to write even an inkling as well as you do.

Side note, the hunt for the hidden bad girl continues. Maybe she is as well hidden as you inclined. 😂

Variety is the spice of life! I try to write from various different emotional places, so not every poem reflects that naughty inkling... heh heh heh 😏... It's very much apparent once you take a little peek into my older ink ... No worries, though... I like being a bit of a mystery!

Your kind feedback is greatly appreciated, SB. There's still much for me to learn and hopefully grow, in doing so. I wish you the same!! DUP will definitely help if that's a potential desire.

Again, all my thanks and warmest regards,

You hold on tight you make love to each other all day and night long while enjoying orgasmic bliss over and over again. Keep on writing you beautiful strong smart sexy woman.

That sounds like the ultimate, Francisco! I am definitely trying my best.... thanks, buddy.

I would like to help with that, LOL.

Dear BV,

This was a thoughtful amble through a lovely wood. Just letting the thoughts come as they may, I really enjoyed this format and style of write. It allows the reader to have their own thoughts as they read yours. Mine were quite jumbled but they made sense as I smoked through the lovely picture you created to accompany the words. Now you’re a bona fide triple threat! 😊
Lovely write, lovely painting.

Sometimes I feel like I am whole new version of myself, especially creatively, after having covid affect my life like it has. This is an example of just that. I really have been super hesitant to publish anything new because I feel unsure and leary. I guess I have confidence issues once again, gnawing at me, leaving me questioning.... most things. I appreciate what you said, about letting the thoughts come at will and just letting it all kinda ride, since that's very close to what happened when I wrote this...I'm slowly but surely finding my way. Thank you for feeling something within my jumble that you enjoyed and for leaving me with a renewed sense of motivation, dear lady. It really made my night.  

I hope you are doing well yourself and are looking forward to the spring days ahead. Good luck with NaPo! I'll definitely be cheering in your section!! 📣

Much love and loads of appreciation,

hello beautiful Blue I wonder about our fate if it is sealed by destiny
there are traits in me that have been present since childhood
a fascination with the dark... this is very beautiful lovely soul
for me it touches on the darkness in the end but what a ride 💕

Yes, I agree Bren... There's always been a big portion of myself that is intrigued by the idea of destiny yet it often battles the practical side of that feels like we make our destiny.. period. It's a dichotomy, for sure! The darkness is there, absolutely... it's ingrained and just a part of what makes me, me. It was was intentionally a part of this write and I'm glad you received it that way....

Thank you for taking the time to read and leave me your thoughtful comments, lovely lady ✨

I adore seeing you 🦋

Dammit!!
This is that vibe that moves the poet
The Man
...and the surreal

I admit I can't help but love the "Dammit!!"... lol..
Thanks for my morning giggle, Naaj.

There's something so cool and warm that fills me up, knowing that you received this like I had really hoped.

Yessss!!

You are incredible and I can't thank you enough.

Your words are beautiful, exquisite, eloquent & can be felt deep within. Your description makes me shudder with delight, every time

I cannot thank you enough for that graciousness.

I like what Mr Black said he went deep with the analysis. I was thinking from the opening stanzas the visual and emotional elements were in wonderful harmony. There is a sense of the journey of souls to each other as it unfolds, of time and the magic of intimate union, done with terrific emotional presence, which is one of the things you always imbue, passionate vulnerability that is very resonant.

You make the 2 dimensional page a glory of 3 dimensional alchemy.

This piece has sort of been a bit of an albatross around my neck; I love to hate it and hate to love it!

I think we've all had those experiences where we published something that we weren't 100% psyched about. For me, doing so sometimes leaves me with anxiety and the feeling of inadequacy. Because yes, I'm not truly confident in what I've written and that kind of leaves me with this feeling of (for lack of a better word) embarrassment. It's my own internal bullshit, I know, but that's where I've been circling ... I remember the last time I talked to David Macleod about a poem I wrote here and my struggles with "should I publish it or shouldn't I" he's advice was "Publish or be damned!"... He said he publishes it all, the good, the bad and the ugly... Which is what I am reminding myself of the last few days— to let go of my concerns and all of my pesky internal self-doubt and just let the poem speak for itself and everything else be damned!! I often remember that awesome nugget of advice and I'm so incredibly thankful that I got to take away a little bit of his moxy because of it...I needed it with this poem...
But I digress... hahaha.

Your incandescent way of commenting also leaves me renewed, Daniel. A 'bottom of my heart' thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. You always make me think deeply about motivations and the conveyance of a poem, which has helped me to grow... just tremendous amounts.

💙

In deep gratitude,
-Susan

This moved me so much that I’m speechless.

You're a sweetheart, Mary. Thank you so very much for that thoughtful kind comment. It really means so much that that's your takeaway from reading this piece and I'm deeply grateful that you shared it with me.

It's incredibly helpful to get other's thoughts because I was and still am debating taking this one down from public view. For some reason I keep feeling like it's not up to my usual idea of what I'm capable of putting out into the universe... I don't know, I'll guess I'll wait and see how I feel.

Your visit means a lot to me and I hope you know it's such a pleasure for me to see you and welcome all your viewpoints

Much love and appreciation,

(Hugs) dear Lady.

What an interesting read. Especially the ending. Ephemeral and like you are taking a journey somewhere. Very original.

Heya BITS. Thanks for taking the time to check out this weird little poem of mine.... Glad you found something here.

I loved your recent post, listened to it a couple of times.... your accent is the best!

Again, much obliged..

This is an epic journey, a glorious end.. well beginning.. truly another Blue Masterpiece.  Your words are refreshing and vivid.  Lovely artwork as well.

I can't believe I missed this killer comment... Grrr... Bad Blu! Man, this long haul covid foggy brain bs is no freaking joke. Even my notes need to take notes, it seems... Har Har... (Sorry for the late reply, dear lady)

Your feedback is a source of inspiration... full stop! So when I am fortunate enough to be able to receive it, I don't take it for granted for a moment. I think you especially, don't ever mince your words; telling it like you see it, which I cannot express to you enough how appealing and wonderful that lovely trait is. To me, that means I'm so lucky and grateful for your visit and the notion you've conveyed.

I am beyond thrilled that you dug this one and my little AI artwork... Thank you, feels small... but it's meant in the biggest way possible.

Much love,
🌹 💙

You are back in fiery form to bless us with soul flames of dreams and realities intermixing in a phantasm of delight. This is a riot of superbly crafted imagery that embraces me as I read in a silk fire of waves that I fall into gladly and with utter ecstasy. From dark to sensual each word is a DNA of illimitable beauty that creates life as we know it in poetry. I adore all that you are and what you do with language. No one I know has your flair for taking words and weaving them into art in a way that is beyond surreal but becomes the mystery of love and darkness. I love you and your art with a passion. Thank you for showing me your path and letting me walk it with you.

XoXoXo

My beautiful poet,
The hand in hand strolling of our shared words and mutual appreciations is so rich and palpable. I am constantly renewed in our united explorations of how we're bonded in a common avenue of thought and feeling via pen and ink, which allows our countless similarities of love, nature, hope, desire and all that motivates sex, passion and wonder to flourish in new and valuable ways. I adore you to unfathomable lengths and take such pleasure and pride feeling how deeply you have helped me to grow and access more and more of... me. I find joy and comfort being unrepentant, proud and purposeful on the page. Your love and encouragement has helped to give rise to all that is that sacredness of self and self confidence.

I am forever grateful and always, always your more than willing traveling companion

🌹💙 💙

My lovely poetic sister,

Your comments have totally become part of my inner self dialog ... I think there's much truth to your thoughts on death and love. That's a little bit of what I was reflecting and feeling myself when writing, although you've summed it far superior than I ever could. I think exploring and understanding that embracing of death, is to find ourselves capable of loving in all capacities... It's just easier said than done. We travel at our open paces through our life's journey...

I appreciate your keen awareness, kind soul and beautiful artistry of thought and emotional space.
You are masterful in explaining your thoughts in a way that always leaves me with such breathless reverence.

I hate imagining this place without you.... (it's much much duller when you've gone!) you bring with you the best ambiance... I just adore it.

Sorry for the late reply,
I've been scatterbrained, to put it mildly!

Much love and returned blessings,
🌹 💙

Again you lead us into that dream like state of pleasure and sensuality as the senses reel with line after line.
"Fantasty swirls consecrated air
realities explode  
into scattered mosaics  
broken by spacial distance," is a prime example of the poetic prowess you still and leave us smiling.
Damn that was good (is all I can muster).

Well, Walter...

You've made me blush.... and I thank you for finding what I wrote to be poetic... Is it weird that that still feels crazy to me?... I would've hoped to feel more like a writer by now... Maybe that'll be just around the corner!

You're a bringer of such great feedback, thank you.

🌹 💙

{Our journey seemingly ends} ?
It is not a journey, it is a deeply felt, surreal odyssey under control.
An odyssey from love or crush  to love actually.

Or just moving into or onto another plane of existence, yet hopefully carrying that love, passion, rapture.... along with us as we transcend....

You're always a pleasure, Marks.

I'm deeply adore your thought process and how you derive meaning from my little poems... It's moving and sometimes so scarily accurate... haha...How awesome is that!!

Well done you....

Thank you so much for taking the time and for sharing with me your fantastic takeaway.

🌹💙

cause it's just as tasteful

You're simply awesome.... I thank you for reading and taking the time to leave me the kind of feedback that makes it freaking difficult to respond to.... I'm renewed and rejuvenated that you felt what you have.... 🙏🏻
