Heart Of Stone
Gotta try something different this time
I’ve lost the rhythm can’t find the beat
Advice is free but it’s a dime per rhyme
To seize victory from the jaws of defeat
This isn’t a joke don’t have a punchline
Some facts hit harder when faced alone
Faint whispers breed rumors by design
Little white lies forming a heart of stone

I get it man. Sometimes the rhythm and beat are all off or not in sync. Writing is the same like music. Cool, honest write my friend.

To me the rhythm and the beat seem to flow perfectly. Just saying ;-) Having said that, at times it feels like we lost it, I've lost my poetry mojo many times. Love the DLR quote, my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. Glad you enjoyed the write, my friend. "Knucklebones" great song by the way. It's part of the process from time to time, the dreaded writers block lurks around the corner. Appreciate you.

Well said. Some say tell a lie enough and it becomes the truth, Damian. When we believe in the lies, we become our own demise.

This makes me think of when my gut is pinching my ass over what my ears are hearing. Something off & the rhythm is jacked. You gotta way with articulation

There are times I can't find the rhythm or beat of a piece and I just want to scream. I usually do something else untilI I get it back. Now the faint whispers breeding rumors that I know for a fact is true. Nice spill.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. I usually give it a couple of days before I attempt to write again. Of course that's after I watch a ton of news for those two days. After it pisses me off, then I'll stew over it in my head. Presto! Usually works every time. Glad you liked the write, my friend. Appreciate you.

Gotta try something different & advice is free! Wow, these are great lines, Damian. Free advice is not always the best but of course, it can be, lol. Trying something different is nearly always a good idea when one has reached a crossroads... simply because they see no alternative. Thought provoking write for sure. 😊

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Billy. I liked those lines a lot as well. I'm a line guy though. It's surrounding them with other clever lines that's a challenge. I'm glad you enjoyed the write, my friend. I totally agree. Appreciate you.
