lyrycsyntyme commented on: ONE SEED by joy 3 years 1 week* ago* If it's any consolation to: If it's any consolation to you, life is better for LGBTQ+ persons than it has been for almost the entirety of human history - at least in the western world (I can't claim up or down for most elsewhere, don't know enough). When I was a kid, it was still relatively risky to step out into the world for friends who merely appeared to others to be gay (I imagine you've seen more and worse of this than I have, in your life). That, for the most part, has changed. It could be better yet - and I hope it will be, right along with you. But, also, every grouping of people, and I mean every single group, needs to learn how to treat each other better. At this point, as far as I can see, we spend too much time infighting between identity groups and dragging each other down, back and forth, while the smallest group - the ruling class - gets richer and more powerful. We get played against one another, and the greatest protest we have yet to successfully make is to stand together against it. All the best to you, you write beautifully, as always. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: God Is Real by randyjohnson 3 years 1 week* ago* The most knowledgeable people: The most knowledgeable people in the world reasonably know less than 1% of all there is to know. "Expert" is a relative term. In the eyes of the universe, the wisest men are 3 year olds, at best. Humility often gets lost behind many things, including certificates and books that have it all neatly laid out. "The truth" changes all the time, in one way or another, and then another. If we're willing to listen and be open-minded, we will be caught off guard and misled less, and - at least as valuably - learn more. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Desired by SSmoothie 3 years 1 week* ago* Smoldering grandeur. The: Smoldering grandeur. The erotic tension builds into a stunning crescendo of playful, surprising poetics. My favorites: "An easy slide into your atmosphere" Blissful motion. Gorgeous! "Two supernovas swirling around eachother Dancing around who makes the first touch" Oh, I get that! "A magnetising exchange of life force" Whoa! Nailed it with ethereal splendor. "A higher plane of conciousness A closeness closer than close" Diving deep into some metaphysical currents. Cosmic. In the best way! "A universe of pleasure has opened up The sparks fly lighting up oblivion Creation has spoken its truth Love has had its way showering sweet pulses over plums and rosebuds Endless yet finite" Ok, I love it all! I just realized that I really can't choose my favorite lines because it's all one extended explosion of passion and inner exploration. A sublime celebration. Congratulations on this!

Starward commented on: Sonic Dark by satishverma 3 years 1 week* ago* The verbal beauty of this: The verbal beauty of this poem cannot be overstated. It resonates off the screen---so much significance compressed into so few lines. This is one of the best poems I have read in a long, long time. [ go to comment ]
williamjroneyiii commented on: Busted Big Time by williamjroneyiii 3 years 1 week* ago* My family always been: My family always been worriers, Dad was always Air force, I'm Army. Uncle was Navy. My cousin was Marine, the only difference between Chief Security Officer is we are taught how to kill and how to die. I'm 62 years old and slow now. It taught me to work in a trade on the side so we can get a job when our time is up! Everybody did something now, I write poetry with advertising copyright like Eating at Jim's. PFC.

Starward commented on: absence by ewbonitz 3 years 1 week* ago* Yes it does, and I have: Yes it does, and I have found---when I am being brutally candid with myself---that those two periods produce insights that I might not have acquired any other way. When I was young, and when I was experiencing them first-hand, they did not seem like insights; just more terrors. But now, with a perspective of over forty years, I can place them in a more overall context. [ go to comment ]
ewbonitz commented on: absence by ewbonitz 3 years 1 week* ago* You know, I've had time to: You know, I've had time to process, writing helps a lot, and I know that this will all turn out for my good in the end. [ go to comment ]

ewbonitz commented on: sequoia by ewbonitz 3 years 1 week* ago* Thank you! The realization: Thank you! The realization that God will use me and my work however He sees fit has been a wonderful comfort to me lately. I will never get to see the fullness of His purpose, but He is faithful to not waste a single moment of our lives when we are submitted to his will. [ go to comment ]
