I’m sorry tim. I meant to tag you. Deepest apologies. Powerful...

oh jp .. thanks .. no worries, hugs

This is a powerful poem, and yet more evidence of your mutual understanding. It left me deeply moved.

These words hold so much truth to the son of an absent alcoholic father. Just powerful. Thank you Sir.

It's unfortunate that you can relate to this poem, jp... but good that the words bring a connection. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.

thank You for asking me to do this once again, Sir.  A worthwhile exercise, satisfying and therapeutic. 

It was equally therapeutic for me. Although my father passed many, many years ago, the emotions are still present. Thanks for taking the journey with me, tim.

I'm at a loss for words, but I love this poem. All I will say is Damn.... Powerful, and it's like you both were keyed into each other's mind.

Thank you, A. Your comment means a lot.

In a way, they are. Sometimes in this world, there are people you meet to whom you are connected. It is a cerebral thing, to be celebrated, imo.

Thanks, Mike, this is very true. Some connections can't be easily explained but are revered.

"Powerful" seems to be the word most used to describe this poem; very satisfying to hear. Thank you, Parker.

i'll write with You anytime, Sir.  

A cohesive and moving collaboration. Had you not told us it was a joint effort I would not have known. The words flow with subtle longing for what was never truly there and in the end dismiss it.

Pain and promise, both wrapped in this work, nicely done, truly.
