That is such a good one! I’ve a poem called A Devil From Heaven. Different topic and angle, but in a way tackling same things… I think I post it soon. Thank you for you craft! 💗
Well written. The depth, the imagery, the flow. To play on your comment to Anna, your intrusive thoughts deserve a cookie. 😉 it's amazing what happens when one lets the internal voices (or in my case, brain squirrels) out to play for an afternoon.
In all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing.
Her voice is haunting just like your words.
I used to want to live in non reality - a Devil’s heaven.
When I did drugs to escape and numb. Now I prefer the here and now as hard as it may be at times. 🖤
I feel you. I have done it with alcohol and relationships
If you ever write a poem about alcohol and relationships I’d love to be your voice 🫦
ohhh fuckkk. I already have a voice for one. But I was thinking of writing a second part anyway. Could you send me a sample of your voice?
Here’s a post I did a voice read to

This is amazing! Thank you so much!!!
Hi cassian 🌿
This is absolutely stunning. The imagery is so vivid it feels almost cinematic. like watching some dark, sacred ritual unfold in slow motion.
I love how you balanced beauty and dread, especially in lines like “A kiss, a crown, a perfect lie to rot in bliss but never die.”
It really lingers. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much R. Sol. It was very fun to write once I had the idea and the last two lines. I hope you listened to the audio
Wow👏👏
thanks!!

Would love to read it. Please let me know when you've posted it
"He walks through Eden in reverse,
unmaking stars with every verse."
Oof. Every distorted mirror we are currently being offered as society.
Yes Rael. Thank you for pointing it out
Absolutely beautiful - the reading and the words. Stunning. Thank you 🖤
Birdie Falling’s reading really brought it to life
Thanks Ariadne🖤
Dark beauty lies beneath every line. This is prose in lines and stanzas. Vivid imagery....
Authentic duet
Thank you 🙏
So glad you liked it
This is hauntingly divine. Every line aches with beauty and quiet devastation. It reads like scripture unraveling in slow motion.
Thank you Sae! It’s meant to devastating. Appreciate your presence here
Brilliant work so vivid could really relate
Thank you 🖤
Glad it resonated with you
the words go great with the voice, chilling and poetic
the voice brought my words to life in a way I could have never even imagined when I was writing it
So vivid and powerful. The imagery is haunting, and the ending really stays with you. Beautifully written. Beautiful voice.
Thanks Anne Marie🥹
Really appreciate it. She really brought the poem to life
"settling for simulations—endless scrolling, distorted news, constant entertainment—to avoid facing the imperfect reality around us" - which is true
It can offer comfort, but it also numbs us to what's truly happening
Indeed, my sweet friend, Hema. It’s numbing
Thank you as always for taking the time to reflect and comment. It means a lot to have your constant support
Hehe don’t get all emotional now 😜 you’re stuck with me 😅 Your posts always make my brain do mini somersaults and somehow my heart too
What do you expect from this delusional, broken poet?
I am glad. Because that means you get to feel and think a fraction of what I feel/think everyday😂
Haha I knew what I was signing up for premium chaotic poet vibes 😂 Keep ‘em coming
Yeah you did this to yourself😂
I know 😅
So brilliant! You had me hooked from the beginning. Love the rhyme. A stunning piece of work.
Thank you Stephanie!!🙏🙏
I really appreciate it😭
Those last two stanzas are fantastic. Excelente trabajo.
Lol that’s cause I started with those and built my way back up😂
Gracias Carlos
Ah, very smart! Lol
Lol just how it came to me
I love when a piece makes you read and reread. Thanks!
Thank you Tom! It’s amazing to have you here. I still remember that poem about plant’s love

Thanks A. M. I have a lot of those. Comes with the insomnia I think😂 thank you so much ☺️
