If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between the metaphoric lines. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unwritable things never whispered of. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed. But, otherwise, I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line but even the shades and innuendo between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor-made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in.
I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer.
Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

This was painful to read. Especially the last 2 lines. 🥺
God bless the beautiful soul! 🙏💕
I agree. I have. Unfortunately, domestic violence is committed by both genders fairly equally. With that being said, our boys must never raise a hand to any woman. Vacating violence is a must-duty for oneself.
No lines can tame the sadness of this story and yet with your poetry you managed to say the truth and give us a chance to think about what we did or didn’t do to stop it from happening.
Domestic Violence is and will remain a disaster and will keep taking lives, till it’s not taken into consideration for what it is: a real society issue

I believe we recognize the need to do something, we just lack the courage to act properly in most cases. Thank you for reading and your comments both.
