From the Heart

BRAVO! Scorpios don't play or act. We are straight up and many can't handle that.

That piece of art though, it's as chaotic and uncertain as the poem, with edges of both soft and hard tension that keep the eyes moving.

True Ahavati
We are straight up always.
No time or inclination for BS
Take what's given I always say and that goes both ways.

Glad you like the painting.
It has a lot of feels and I love your description of it.

Thanks !!

Wow! Truth to power. Great rt and magical words. Who could resist your amazing heart? Hugs and love, Oral

Good to get your take Colonel O.
It's frustrating sometimes when you want so much and you're not sure how you're being taken.  Nonetheless we soldier on and try to keep things whole.  Matters of the heart can be sublime....

Thanks !!

Keep leading us my General, we are following. Oral

My soldiers never let me down.
I care about them ... ❤

What was written from the heart should not have been erased... Feelings are not the same always... still your awesome artist... N of course this lovely painting too...

Sometimes it’s hard to say things that you feel and want to say but fear takes over ..
The process of poem writing sometimes clarifies intimacy and emotion and that’s what I try to convey often in my writing …

Thanks so much for your comment dimpy

Thought the painting speaks for me and the process of caring 👥🙏♥️

Agree with you but in my case I don't stifle my heart by keeping anything in it... why should the heart be hurt? so you too should try your best to express yourself through your pen... Like your talking paintings...❤

I'm always trying ...
Poetry and my paintings are a good way for me to speak my heart.  They bond.

Thx d

Real is never failure. Stay you!

Trying to always to say what I mean.
Definitely a process

Thx so much Willow !!

The pic matches the piece, undecided, heart moving in all directions, honest at least with itself. Tight

I wrote it and then looked at my paintings and this one jumped out at me precisely the way you described my poem.

You're a Seer too !!

Thx ME

Always an honor to read and enjoy your art. A true master. Great work my friend.

BIG THANKS K.O.

It's an honor to receive your praise !!

Appreciate

Yes Dragonblood

There’s always so much you want to say and it’s hard to get it all to merge in a complete feeling.  So fits and starts as the case may be …

I’m glad the poem and painting worked for you.
So many directions hopefully leading to a full heart !

Appreciate your comment and RL add !

Thx

So many wonderful poems, lost!
Perhaps so many things left unsaid.
We all fail... and we all succeed.
And the inclination for lust is so intense.
Sex is a quick route to the heart and soul. ;)
Resisting temptation is such a struggle.
Maybe the edits are failed attempts...
To just say it... From the heart...

You read my poems all the time.
You know how I struggle constantly.
Yet sometimes I do succeed and I know you see those poems as well.
Lust claims me often and I battle but a full heart that talks to my heart is a grand success.

Appreciate your comments always Kx  

Onward … I hope I see you again soon

Oh and I forgot to say, the art is outstanding as always... it matches so well... :)

Thank you so much, that means so much to me ...💗

You know EXACTLY how to be good - it's by writing and painting things like this.
Maybe you deleted some poems, but you ended up with a winner in the end. What a perfect pairing for a beautifully vulnerable expression. It's a keeper.
❤k

WOW  
That’s a comment that almost makes me want to believe in myself.  Blown away by your comment k.  The struggle is real but I soldier on and sometimes it all falls into place for me.
This comment is a BIG THANKS !!

Appreciate you

❤️

😊

This was honest and heartfelt. Love it Fia xoxo

I'm really happy that you like the write Fia.
I struggle with desire so much and my outlet is writing an art .. I will continue to speak for me and for others who can't....

Appreciate you xx

Dear PS,

There is so much energy in this poem and painting. For me, when you write of deleting poems, I found myself nodding in solidarity because I do that all the time. Either from frustration or spite or just looking at them makes me feel less than. This piece also made me think how open and honest the feelings written about are. Expressing them in a frenzy is so liberating. Vulnerable? Sure. But aren’t we all? I think that’s the part that makes this write so relatable. Wonderfully written beautifully painted. xx H🌷

Dear H,
I wrote a poem in the last year entitled
"Write /Delete".  Sometimes I feel like I delete more than I post ... But that all said when I think I have nothing to say, I'll drink some coffee and in the middle of a caffeine jolt, the words start to flow ...That's what happened here.  It's interesting that you go through the same process.  Sometimes I feel too damn much and don't want to admit.
So many reasons to write, so many failures to delete, but still the desire to succeed and share the wealth when it starts to flow.
Your comment validates me H, appreciate you tremendously....🤠❤

Love that you dig the painting too !!

Thx

There’s valor in being honest even if the fear feels overwhelming. So, you deleted some poems. Show her this (and the painting). It’s fucking amazing.

Yeah
I know, too hard on myself.
It happens, so what, right ?
I always come back, my muse, she drives me.  We break a lot of rules, but dust off and come back stronger.

Appreciate the comment and advice.
Glad on the painting.  One of my personal favorites... its all about movement !

Stay tuned, this rogue will be back with more firepower

BIG THANKS

Straight and to the point.  Broke, banged or blitzed we never quit.  Keep on writing.

That’s right Francisco.
I never quit, bruised and all I’ll be back in the ring ..

Such a heartfelt write this is. Unfortunately we can't control our feelings and emotions, only what we do with it and how we act on it. This gem describes that inner struggle so well and your paiting pairs with it perfectly.

BRAVO, dear PoetSpeak.

Thank you for your supportive and beautiful comment D.
Working within my soul to tell my personal truths and pairing them art is my way of speaking.
It’s a long journey and I’m gratified by your read and comment.

Stay tuned for more !!

BIG THANKS

Nice one🤘

BIG THANKS BROTHER JIGG

APPRECIATE

Incredible poem and painting. Also happen to relate to you in this sentiment. I also don't feel like my work is enough. And I sure as hell don't feel like picking my brain editing anything. Absolutely not. What ya see is what ya got

Right on Kii_Ahn

We ain't no monkeys on display in some woke zoo.  We real, horny and savage.
No Cole Slaw for them !!

Thx

Anytime brother!

And yeah, they gets none

Fuck 'em in the butt, no grease if they can't take a joke yo ...

Thx for the validation yaw

Very good paint and ink.  Right to the bone again  Have a good evening PoetSpeak

Bat

Always good to see you Senator Bat.
Yeah, this one has wanna be redemption that I probably wouldn’t be able to achieve.  Then another poem about that would most likely follow ..

Appreciate your comment

Thx

That was vulnerable, honest and one of the most tender things I've read from you.

I loved the muted shades in your painting, and the way the chevrons tried to have a direct course but then sort of fizzled out. It's like the painting articulates a loss of direction.

Big like, man

Yeah
I let my guard down
No bravado
Resignation I guess
You know what it’s like
Winning with loss waiting to extinguish you
You hang in though
I never quit

The painting is a favorite of mine
Fairly recent
I love pale pink
So many stories, elation and sedation
As the sun goes down …

Thx B
Appreciate you

Raw and honest, Poet's unique style.

Vulnerable and edgy at the same time.
