I have a confession
I wish to touch you all deeply
but I fear rejection
so often in life I am odd
it hurts to feel strange
an awkward soul
struggling for expression
I can write but I fight to connect with people
this disconnect bothers me
I seduce a word and send it spinning
hoping to move your heart
in my depths I am solemn
my thoughts, a kiss from my soul to yours
within the sacred tomes
we are writers
bound by a journey of discovery
crossing paths at this precise moment
I hope to edify
bring smiles perhaps
be a gentle reminder of contentment
when we touch for a brief moment
and feel divinity

Re. edify
I've always felt like an opposite of conventional people
Fitting in where I have to but secretly not fitting in at all
Beautiful write Brenda
You surprise me sometimes, like right now
...
BIG LIKE
Keep bringing it, we're not going anywhere without you ...

Thank you Brenda
I think we all wonder about real life vs. DUP land. What would it be like on the outside ?
I always thought it would be cool if DUP had a big party somewhere and everyone could meet ..
Hello, I'm Poetspeak ...

Re. edify
You are such an enormously beautiful soul with your own version of oddities (meant lovingly) that I think many can personally understand and wholly relate to. I think my own darkness and various other issues are partially drawn to your refreshing candid openness, which I applaud, appreciate and adore, as well as connect to with a profound level of understanding. I know how being the odd man out can feel and affect a person, in ways that you're sometimes not even aware of...It's heartening and soul infusing to share with others that admission of feeling odd and it not being something negative...that it's actually absolutely fucking amazing!
It's your badass poems, though, dear Bren... that will always make you absolutely special... and in my eyes, cherished for all that they and you... are.
Beautiful beautiful spill.
Thank you for being here and sharing yourself.

hello beautiful Blue you made my morning a bright place today... you're such a giving soul I aspire to be so giving...thank you for sharing your views on my feelings of oddity it made me feel enriched and empowered...I struggle not with communicating with people but sometimes connecting with them it's good to think that might be a connecting factor the vulnerability... my darkness is underlying I'm happy this reaches you as well it's this part of me I try to conceal so knowing I reached you on a deeper level makes me feel special...you are truly a lovely soul... thank you for nominating this poem I feel honored 💕
Re. edify
Thank you for being here Brenda.
A lot has already been said...
But I know your writing touches me deeply.
This place would not be the same without you.
It needs your passion and darkness to shine...
So often strange is the most beautiful,
To me at least... And I know a lot about strange. :)
I have always felt out of place in some way.
Having spent a lot of time wandering the darkness.
'An awkward soul, struggling for expression',
Surely we all are to varying degrees.
We are all seeking connection after all.
And I definitely connect with your words.
And through them I connect with you.
I can see myself in your writing and replies.
Sometimes I can feel that kiss on the soul.
Other times I want to feel it... wondering.
Did I kiss your soul for a moment too.
In this journey of discovery,
I am happy to cross paths with you.
You have an incredible gift of expression.
And you will always touch people...
Not just with words but your soul too.
So when you fear rejection...
Just remember that you are a gift.
And we are so fortunate to share in that gift.

hello beautiful Kristina if I haven't said it before you move my soul deeply with your complete acceptance of my dark side as well as my light you are a lovely lady to know...I wanted you to know I delay sometimes in speaking just because I'm contemplating what to say sometimes words fail me especially with you because you are so thoughtful and touch on deeper levels and I am taken aback with surprise... I would love to know you in life but admittedly I fear we would be a lot together that is very intense... I am an intense person by myself I very rarely meet someone like you if ever I feel fortunate to crossed paths with you...your intentions pure with an underlying hint of danger I can't resist...thank you beautiful poetess 💕
