Never to ..

hello dearest Poet I love the painting and the tender sexiness behind the poem 💕

I like the high praise Brenda ❤

I took a break from writing, wrote this a few weeks ago.  It needed a home ....

Thx

Should we see people and faces in this painting, dang dude. You do know how to match your pieces together, tight work

I'm an abstract writer, thinker and painter.
I don't ask for anyone to see anything. I think that's an organic pull that happens in each viewer....

I do like your comment ME, it's validating and I guess I needed that more than I thought..

I thank you !

Beautiful and emotive write ✍️

Thank you Maple666

I sincerely appreciate your comment..

This is a very deep thought..what will happen if you don't actually write poetry??  Like moonlight, what would the moon look like without it??  Poetry is a strong medium which saves a person from getting depressed, which presents the feelings and thoughts of a person.. It is through poetry that life becomes beautiful.. Well very nicely done!! ❤

I'm celebrating 10 years as a poet.
Close to 2,000 poems on DUP.
I wonder sometimes, do I need to write and the answer always comes back the same.

YES

Many thanks dimpy, you know the magic on words and emotion.  

Appreciate you

Very happy to know that you have been gracing this platform for so long.  .I wish that your journey continues like this.  And may you keep meeting travelers like me ha ha.  May your words attract people and make the this DU world proud... Xoxo

Yes, it's a long ride dimpy.
Lots of everything.  A poet must take what's in front of him and make it his or her own.
You are doing well here because you write your heart.  I'll keep reading.

Thanks for the encouragement !
❤

Beautiful art, wonderful words... an excellent pairing!

Another great pairing PS…

BIG THANKS

Hope you're having a great voyage !

That is a beautiful piece of art and a beautiful poem!

Thanks so much Willow
This poem needed to go public and publish I did.
Your comment warms me.

Thank you
👏❤️

Very hot painting.  Keep on writing.

Appreciate that Francisco 💯

Excellent on both accounts, Poet.

I keep trying...

Thx A

Appreciate you !

Dear PS,

The painting is striking. Almost like stained glass. Beautiful. The poem is stand alone in terms of the brevity and directness of thought. As someone who uses 20 words when three would suffice I always admire succinctness. Great piece. H🌷

Dear H,

You know I'm a slice and dice kind of guy.
No gristle and no waste.  Say it fast and furious and get out the door.

Appreciate the nod on the painting and poem H.  My muse sure knows how to guide me ....

Thx foe the RL too !!

Hey PS

I like how open you are in this poem. Baring yourself to
the possibility of no poetry. The uncertainty of uncharted territory.

Great painting too amigo!

Yo Adelphina..

Sometimes I wonder if present too much bravado in poems so secretly and quietly decided to address that.  A little cooling off with my muse also played a part but happy to say it's revving up again.  Poems or not that relationship is solid...

Many thanks for seeing inside what I was trying to convey.  Sometimes its harder to grab that brass ring but I'll never stop trying....

Appreciate your comment and glad the art did its job !!

Thx A

"Worried how existence would compete if no poems"
I felt my stomach drop when I read this.

I wanted to think poems weren't necessarily needed with this connection but I found out otherwise.  The writing is in indeed connective tissue.  

Thx for your comment LJ
RL too.
Nice to see you again

That’s the thing about poetry and how it can connect people at another level.

Nice spill sir, BiG LIKE

It's pretty amazing how that happens Wally

BIG THANKS 😊
