Thanks for the Muse

Thanks for your company and muse,

I know life without Love

I’ve known life with Love

Preferring with Love

For the pains of loss, regrets grieving cuts deep,

Creating a sadness in which your drowning comes as a relief you weep.

An emptiness being a stranger in your own life

Without purpose

Without sleep

Without meaning

Why go on?

What’s screaming?

Love me and fill the aches

The loss of dreaming

Wounds do never forsake

I am a Lover in need to Love

Fully without walls, ceilings, skies, galaxies

Wanting to Love someoneone until my last breath

With every cell worshipping her every step

To be that kind in kind nobility and depth

To Love sincerely

For that I have died 10,000 deaths

Whatever the price the pains of Love

I am willing to endure

To nuture to embrace that which is beautiful pure

Life with Love and Lover the greatest prize of all

Prayers for those willing to pay the pains of Love’s ecstasy

Let go and fall

Her eyes said so

Her whispers I know

Her soft touch aglow

Dream me as I dream you

Writes Epiphany Beyond A Biblical Scale

Great poem, love it!

Friendly regards from Nicaragua, heavily sanctioned, where I scrape by at the Gates of Hell, the Masaya Volcano, at the very bleeding heart of Central America. Hell, sweet hell, err, home. I meant home, sweet hell!

I have decided to chime in with something transcendentally relevant. Enjoy, you do not have to pledge anything, my efforts are always free.

Left to my own devices and salivating in the tropical scorcher, in the erupting drought season, the promised $20 bill of rights rain has not even started yet for me here on Subtract. It seems like nobody´s gold pennies can reach my flying BullShip skyhigh. Yet I stay working Job, patience is my virtue upon the rack, tried, drawn, and quartered as vice driven through the rusty nails of my faith .... until I, one-armed, cannot carry my heavy cross anymore.

Substack is the greatest platform where I can share my massive varied witing stuff. I have quite a few posts already here with 60 subscribers and growing every day as people are finally noticing my stranded S.O.S. sign on the beach! Thank God, thanks to you good people. God bless you!
