Larisa this is beautiful. You have a heart and pen of a lover. It directly touches the softest zone of my heart. How beautifully expressed.

Original item by kartikeya

"You could call me and flowers would bloom.

You would not see the trace of the ice,

You would not see the gloom and doom,

No more loneliness and life could be nice.".....nothing could surpass these words.

Loved it to bits and pieces. I kinda hold onto these love poems, gives a kind of satisfaction to my heart. May love thrive in abundance in every beautiful heart.

So like those old non pandemic days. I guess we must be missing those good old days.
It's the irony, a history being written.
How ungrateful can humans be, now we realize in pandemic days.

Original item by Shehariah

Thank you, Nicola stopping by. Afterlife to me is such a fascinating yet terrifying concept. I often catch myself fantasizing about paradise, but blissfully ignore the entire concept altogether once I begin to spiral down a cesspool of hellishly terrifying thoughts. Appreciate your input regardless! Your question can start some really healthy discussions.

I really like the picture of humanity you’ve painted here with your words.

“How many of us are truly living?
And how many merely breathing?”

Only the brave will answer these honestly.

Leon, I'm beyond honored to have received a comment as beautiful as this. Whether or not I win an award is a different story altogether, but even if I do, it wouldn't matter as much as this.

Comment is about The Blue Tit (blog)

Original item by julie callaghan

Bluesky, thank you for your kind words. I have lived a life of fear since I was a child. I allowed fear to rob me of so much over my lifetime. I’m now learning to suffer through fear to reach out for what fear has fought to keep away from me.

Po, that’s brilliant! I’m going to write that down and keep it posted at my desk.

Comment is about Drowning Pt. 1 (blog)

Original item by Shehariah

Bluesky, thank you for that. This is a reflection of what addiction did to my life and how my self-reliance left me shipwrecked. I was so hopeless and powerless in my addiction. Now I am finding hope again and strength again as the smoking flax of faith is once more rekindled.

Po, I am humbled by your words. I am also left quite speechless after reading your reply. I will take your advice. I am a novice and in my excitement I posted these last night. Thank you.

Comment is about Beyond the Horizon (blog)

Original item by Shehariah

I am writing from a lifetime of repressed emotion and living in the darkness of addiction and depression. Sobriety has given me the gift of being able to unlock these emotions and release this darkness through my writings.

Of all your replies so far, I appreciate this one most. I will take your advice. I have felt worthless and shameful for so long. I know that isn’t my home any more.

Po, I’m really appreciative of your feedback on these. I also really like your poetic responses. Good stuff!

There is a darkness I find within me that it has been my habit to retreat to. It’s a dead place that keeps me addicted and ashamed. It still has sway in my life. This writing is me deciding to live another way.

Don - you're absolutely within your eagle-eyed right to call me to
