"where darkness haunts: "where darkness haunts itself grieving the smallest taste of light"   How strikingly you captured the most challenging part of the human adventure. Each relatable line thunders with a captivating eloquence that reinforces the realism; every line is power-packed, chilling, resonate and impressive.   I love how the tone shifts gently in the last lines into the realm of hope and rests, profoundly, on your memorable conclusion. And the title is a clever, perfect fit. Bravo!!!

I like it: Still, stagnation and complacence as a vampire ever chasing us, hoping for weariness to win out. We must always chase the sun, huh? : )

A great write, as all are,: A great write, as all are, thought provoking, and a valuable lesson in the phrasing of words.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Your surprisingly deep and: Your surprisingly deep and insightful studies never fail to humble and amaze me.   Everything I was hoping to convey, as well as my intention, was astutely understood and reflected upon. I can't tell you how fulfilling that is, but any poet honored enough to receive a review by you, certainly understands. I'm unspeakably grateful that you took the time to deconstruct this highly personal poem and draw such expansive conclusions. This reassures me that my goal to provide a moment of respite from the suffocating toil of existence to readers (even if it's just one) has been achieved. I feel like shouting "Score!" Thank you a thousand times for this.   I loved your metaphor "spiritual genetics". More fulfilment. More thanks.   "write captions for . . . " Smiling. Thanks again!    I have been, for quite sometime, nervous about crossing a mystical line in my poems for fear it might be misunderstood as arrogant (or worse) but you helped me find some courage as you rolled out an eloquent red carpet for me to continue. Your authentication means everything to me. Yet another round of thanks.   I'm privileged beyond words. Thank you for accompanying me, and other blessed poets, on our travels. You are an indispensable, highly valued and towering pillar of this community.

Trust me, you blaze bright in: Trust me, you blaze bright in that constellation. And one is never verbose if their words are highly valued.

Quite the timing, indeed: The strange and intricate pattern of things. That's real sad to hear.

Life has a way of setting us: Life has a way of setting us into phases that feel unending. Our books, though, are many chapters, though I know it's hard to always feel or believe that from inside the story. It seems to me that you write with your heart on your sleeve, and with clarity. Those are two good paddles to have as help to get through rough waters in this part of the story. All the best to you.

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Things Slip Away by Silver__lining 1 year 31 weeks ago
Very lyrical, with rhymes: Very lyrical, with rhymes that work without feeling forced. Strong flow from end to end, and i can't help but agree, "the saddest truth in life is things slip away." Life is beautiful, but is reasonably the heaviest price we pay for such beauty.

"Raindrops fall at the quiet: "Raindrops fall at the quiet speed of contentment" is a fascinating line to unfurl.

How timely that at this: How timely that at this period of new month beginning we are grieving and reeling at the loss of lives in the still fresh railway tragedy in the modern city of the Thessalonians, Greece.

As am I for the very same: As am I for the very same implications and possibilities. But I realise that this gift of articulation can and has been utilised for centuries and find that it could be very 'easy' to join in the merry swill. With so many avenues and venues these days, any revisers or misquoters and flamers even will find themselves put to the task if they so much as deign to besmirch you. As it has been said, (paraphrase) sufficient to the day is the trouble it brings with it.

That can be, yes. I'm on the: That can be, yes. I'm on the fence about words living on, seeing as how often the dead are misquoted to support misdeeds of the living, and other times their words censored and replaced with a new voice that takes their old name ; )
