8:57 A.M.
8:57 A.M. Somewhere in the heart of it all, I, Damian DeadLove was born on 12 March 1975. I recall screaming and growling about how cold the delivery room was that day. Much to my mothers shock of course that an infant was capable of such.
I jest. I couldn’t death growl yet, that was later. God, didn’t bless me with a great singing voice. As time would reveal.
He gave me lungs though, and I could scream with anyone. Don’t believe me? Feel free to ask my parents?
Fifty years. Half a century in this old worn out body. Miles equals wisdom, words I...

Overkill - Wrecking Your Neck
Welcome, Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is: Overkill. That’s right we’re talking about the boys from, Jersey. I’m a huge fan of this band they are by far my favorite thrash metal band.
Shout out to my brother, J.J.Burton, who got me into this band. This one’s for you.
The band formed in 1980 in New Jersey. They’re one of the most successful east coast thrash bands ever. They’ve been called the Motörhead of thrash, in fact the band name comes from the title of Motörhead’s second album.
The band has recorded 20 studio albums...

SpotLight - Willow (WillowsWhimsies)
Welcome back to SpotLight, I’m Damian DeadLove. Got another great episode tonight, that I hope you’ll enjoy. This interview segment is meant for the DU community, as a way to get to know about the poet/poetess behind the writes.
Our guest tonight is a poetess who calls the U.S. home. She’s been a member here since March of 2016. Although, it could be longer since she had previous profiles.
She’s a gifted poetess and writer. She’s a spitfire once you get her wound up, and for some reason I have the gift of taking her there, with some of the topics I write...

The Ides Of March
It is I. Time caught up with me, folks. Burning the candle at both ends finally claims it spoils. What sleep I do get, is restless sleep. I’m supposed to use a CPAP machine, but I haven’t been sent any new face-masks in months. Go figure.
Well we’re in the middle of our health benefits being castrated, so I’m not fucking shocked. “Beware The Ides Of March.” to quote a line from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. I slid the one in on you, didn’t I. lol.
I’m not a huge Shakespeare fan, respect him, I do though. I always remembered the line from when we read the play...

So long dup
We all made friends here in a space dedicated to expression. Thanks to the webmistress for all the years of running an excellent poetry website.
I encourage you to start submitting your writing to magazines and online periodicals for publication. For everyday hundred rejections I've gotten there's an acceptance and that is an amazing feeling. I'd love for all of you to share in it.
Take care and good luck. It was great trading reads with you.

Full-Circle
Once again, it is I. Well this Friday, I set sail on my weekend getaway. I can feel the anticipation building inside, a familiar vibe, that hasn’t been felt for many summers.
That feeling of being open to creativity, preparing mentally, visualizing the possibilities. It rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it?
When my wife showed me the Airbnb app, and said choose where you’d like to stay I was looking for something, folks.
These last couple of years has been a time of getting sober, finding faith, healing from addiction, discovering who I truly am. ...

My Final Resting Place (The Blue Notebook)
It is I, again. I’m the itch that can’t be scratched, folks. Slightly annoying, but I mean well. In all seriousness, I’m just always looking for a catchy beginning. Hey, they can’t all be winners. It doesn’t get me down though, people.
In the immortal words of David Lee Roth: “You gotta roll with the punches to get to what’s real.” It’s all about adapting, being a counterpuncher, that’s been my entire existence. Some things in this world are avoidable, others not so much.
Look, I’m just a humble poet. With little stories that I hope helps somebody out...

Willfully In The Dark
It is I again. I guess I should have explained something about myself, I don’t know if I ever addressed this, I hate fucking politics. I write about them sure, but I don’t love anything about the process. I stay informed, but I’m not a fan.
It’s a necessity, not something I enjoy. It helped ruin a friendship, someone I loved liked a brother, it helped destroy a songwriting partnership. Because, I woke up from a 33 year party, and realized some lines had been crossed.
Worst of all it didn’t get any better, when I got sober. I’m talking about, Joey G, of course....

Early Morning Blues
Thursday. 8:11 AM
2 hours into my day at work.
What a drag
I’m surrounded by these bland grey walls that are about 6 ft high
There dusty and in need of cleaning
Fucking gross
Are they to protect me from the outsiders?
Are they to protect others from me?
Are they listening to my thoughts or when I speak?
Probably
All I know is that my creativity is being sucked away from this isolated location
It’s horrible
In addition, knowing that the one poetry website I could rely on is disappearing in a few weeks

Pasta, Cannoli's & Italian Progressive Rock
Italy has been a fertile terrain for musical groups since the 1960’s. The traditional song format was slowly renewed, adding elements coming from England and the United States. These elements were rock n roll, rhythm & blues and beat.
It was with the success of the beat acts that brought many English acts to come to Italy. Numerous English bands came to Italy searching for fame & fortune. A handful of these musicians stayed here, giving birth to this new form of rock called “Progressive Rock”.
By the end of the decade a new tendency appeared with these newly...
