Suffer with Me

Wow! That painting, though! The movement, tension, and depth is AMAZING. Poem isn't bad either!

Like!  

I was about to message you to check and see if you were kosher, being you hadn't posted in a bit. Should've known you were painting! What a fabulous result!

Well, that is a WOW comment Ahavati !!

It came a time in my writing journey to take a little break so I retreated to my home studio  
( my dining room table) and worked on some new paintings and framed a lot.

I appreciate your interest and concern and as always STAY TUNED.   More to come.

Thanks so much 🙂

You're welcome, Cowboy.

Hello Poetspeak. Your poem, combined with the painting speaks loud & clear. A dark, erotic lust that is really quite revealing. Executed so well.

Hi K.O.

Many thanks for your comment.
As always the words come to me and I dash them out before they can get away.
I actually wrote this a few weeks ago but decided to hold off on posting.  I knew the moment would appear and it was indeed today ....

Appreciate your words

Fire, tiger and ice, standing at the forefront of a great piece. Tight work dude

There's definitely all that ME.
This is a combustion write.
Fire extinguisher at the ready.
Appreciate your comment Sir !

Wonderful art and poetry. Both layered, violent and textured. A complete work on both fronts. I’ve missed the words and brush strokes my friend.

There came a time recently where I had to step back and regroup.  So the days ticked off and the desire to post had left me which is rare.  I spent a lot of time reading others here and today it felt right to post !

I appreciate your support always Thor

Thank you !

very powerful dearest Poet and yes I will be fine as always 💕

Suffering is part of our cloth Brenda.
We give, we take.
We bathe in glory and agony.
There's no hope and that's okay.
Poets need angst to write.

Appreciate your visit
That GUNSHIP video is phenomenal.
Love the lush agony and elevation ..

Thank you luv

❤🖤

I'm happy you liked the video and you always know the truth of it...you're right of course 💕

I forwarded that video to several people.
Reminds me of a modern day B Tribe sound.
Part trance and a amazing visceral connection...

BIG LIKE

your so hip dearest Poet it's really great to write to...they have more videos I would recommend the song and video Ghost...I think the artist in you would appreciate it...the video was done with AI Query... generated images...

Will check out
You Rule ❤

❤️

Love the use of Chamber in this. Sets a certain tone

Yes
I write about the Chamber often
Everyone should spend some time there ...

Thanks BB

Moody...broody...& hella sexy!

You want to be there
You need it
Chamber calling
Moody is my middle name
Answering the call...

Thx Willow ...

Lust
Addiction

Im all in
Dominant or I can obey.....
Love this <3

The Poet has returned with a vengeance ...
There will be rules and sacrifice
But for whom the bell tolls

Stay locked in ML

Bring it, Master.
~kneels in honor awaiting the tolls of said bells~

My captive .

Always

Eyes looking through blood and dirt trying to see the peaceful sky.

Grit and grind
Mantra
Twin merchants of agony and lust
Parallel universe
So fine ….

I like this one,pretty bad ass 😎🤘

Yeah
A take no prisoners write
Fact is though, we are all prisoners.
That's when we go to the Chamber and work it out...

Appreciate your read and comment jigg

Stay tuned

Really loving the painting!
‘Suffer with me’ sounds mutually pleasurable.
And it’s just the beginning

Yes
It's a beginning and sometimes the beginning is a long process till the understanding takes hold.  
Other times it's instant...
Poets understand and we speak for those who can't or won't..

Thanks on the painting NG
It was a good fit, blood, contusion and bonding 🙌

I take a few days off and open this delicious piece of art.
I just love me some sexy people rage.

Yeah Mary
I snuck it in after taking a month off from posting.  I really needed a break.  Best thing I could do....

People rage and dark tones, what could be better?

Appreciate your comment and RL

First off: what an amazing painting, love your artwork.

Secondly: I LOVE the formatting of this piece.

...This is one helluva raw and sexy write - with a great title!

Triple love for this...

Triple love, what more can I ask for ?
But..
You probably know I will ask  

Yeah, I retreated from posting for a month.
That may not seem like much but I was posting every couple of days for years so ...

Painting will always be my first love.
I appreciate the love on it.
I'm a concept guy at heart.  I'm always trying new ways to express myself visually.  The art world is full of vipers so I keep a lot of it to myself.  It's fun to merge writing and art.

I like having you back in the mix..

Thanks D

My pleasure Poetspeak.

The triple love is well deserved and hear you, I need to express myself, one way or the other. After the poetry muse left I went into photography.

It's indeed fun to merge writing and art. When you pair visuals with words it can enhance the piece.

It's good, no awesome, to be back in the mix.

Merge on :-)

Yes, I need to express too.
I'm a wordy fuck but I'd rather let my paintings speak more for me.  People can see what they want in abstraction though I'm happy if they just like the art. I don't need anyone to see anything but it's okay if they do.  I've always appreciated abstraction as a visceral experience getting away from reality but there really aren't any rules ...

I like your photographs

Where can I see more ?

Thank you

Your painting; Thats a lot of smashed butterflies. Your write is the epilogue for them. See it?
 
Good to read something new from you. You are a required presence, Gary.

That's a pretty good size painting, I just took a partial segment.  Part of my pandemic experimental works where I was working  from home but had little work.  Needed something to do all those hours so painted daily.  This painting in particular I used no brushes, just odd shapes to make other shapes.

Yeah, I took the last month off from posting.
Needed a break but glad to be back.  Always great to hear from you Mark.  I was reading a  lot of poets here during my sabbatical from posting. You had a few real beauties....

Hope all is well on your side.

Thanks !!!

I'm stoked to see you painting again!
It feels so restless - the art.
Almost like a bloodied sky in a way.
Super cool that you brought up vampires in training!

Nice to see ya posting!

Yo Adel !!

So good to see you on my page.  As I was telling Mark above I felt kinda burned out from posting so tooka month off.  But never stopped reading ya'll..  I wrote this 2 weeks ago but waited for the moment when I felt it was ready to launch..

Vampires a curious bunch.  Never gave them any thought till I started writing on DUP.
Now the urge comes often for a delicate neck....

Thx A !!

What a beauty. Light breaking through pain... I even see a K in there, but I'm just so inclined.  😉

Addiction and messy relationships... yeah, I'm feeling this. Nice to see you here dealing the pain & comfort again.
❤️k

I think you might have inspired part of this write with a bunch of your recent experiences with the muse factors ..

Messy relationships are so necessary.  Anything sanitized and orderly would be no fun at all !

Appreciate your comment RED.  
Vampire's tasty delight 😊

Oh well how exciting to be part of the inspiration! I'm still waiting next to a messy smouldering wreckage at the moment, but hoping I can claw my way back to some nice shared suffering someday...
I'll send you my latest song. 😘

Yeah we're unhappy when things are placid and normal and bummed out when square pegging in round holes.
Life of a muse--aholic...
Hmmm could be a poem in there for sure...
See you're inspiring again RED ❤

Connection Addiction
Muse-a-holic
I've always liked putting my fingers in the candle flames....

You're inspiring me right back, cowboy. The creativity well has been dry for a while, but something's on its way, I can feel it like a change in air pressure. Stay tuned.
xx❤️

You live for the moment and get a blessing in disguise.  Keep on writing.

Yes, live for the moment.
That's wise advice ....

Wow! Shocked yearning to feel.

Think I covered all the bases APPS...
Anything goes or doesn't.
Thx for your comment..

Not entirely sure what to make of this one, PS. On the one hand it sounds quite simple, 'suffer with me' but on the other hand, what you're suffering together seems rather complex. I mean, who would put themselves though all of this if they were not 'fucked up' in some way? No offence intended to those people, obviously. I could have said... 'complicated' people, after all. 😉

Complicated or fucked up.
Whose counting ?
When you travel in my circle it's the farthest from normal. No beige people in my orbit.
But ... even I still suffer.  Because control isn't easy.  The women have the audacity to want more.  So there's that to deal with and decide whom to consume....

Stay tuned Billy.

Thanks for your comment !

Ah, who made who; what a question that is...
But I think we make each other right?
And we are all addicted, searching.
Constantly needing... among the wreckage.
Infinite assault on the dam, trying to break me.

Rubber and latex to even the score.
Who is the Master, and who is the servant.
How often the roles blur.
Vampires, drinking blood and secretions.
In our perpetual need for more...

It seems no one is ever done with me.
So many bloody liaisons and messy relationships.
Twisted but so damn incredibly thrilling...

Consumed by dark lust and living fantasies.
And the never ending thrill of submission.

It's understandable why nobody is ever done with you.  That's because you're living in the magic kingdom of fantasy and execution.
Why would anyone want to leave that Chamber of wreckage and delight ?

There's Ying Yang throughout my poem for a reason.  I can't be just one thing for myself or for anyone else.  I'm concept driven.
Desire, needs, wants, art, poetry, music, the raw and the cooked.

The lines certainly blur.  On any given day one of us is giving or receiving pain and frolic.
I have no rules.

Walk through the dark night to a door with a faint irradescent pink glow.
Enter after receiving the password.
Proceed to Chamber 13
Begin .....

There is no ending with you

Dear PS,

Not sure I can add anything worthy  my esteemed poets haven’t already said above. If you are inviting me to suffer with you I’m very glad of the invitation though. It sucks suffering alone. And then there’s the painting…you sure know how to suffer in style! Great write. Beautiful art. Happy you’re back. H🌷

Dear H,
Yes, I am a sufferer.
I feel so damn much all the time contrary to my Poetspeak bravado ...
That painting exemplifies the explosions often going off in my head.
I guess I'm back, I never really left, just decided to take a break from posting.
I did a lot of reading and commenting on fellow poets which was fun and necessary.
Some new voices here worthy of my time and encouragement.

Stay tuned.

Might be posting a new art piece I just completed.  It's a collage and my very first attempt at the way of assembly. It's hard to photograph but I might give it a whirl.  I'll be doing more for sure.  It's a fun way of seeing ...

Appreciate your comment H

Thank you

Xx

🤠

Loved everything about this. The write, the visual. BL, RL.

A different kind of write but a fun one to pen.
Glad you appreciate it Wally.
Thanks so much for the RL and comment
