SPY

Numbness poisoned flowers spooky nights serenaded with chattered cowers, wounded grasp cascaded panicked voices bloomed mother's smile paraded with gleams doomed, yearning hopeless answers as death roamed.

Dearest Tonye, Welcome back! What a haunting journey you have taken me through darkness and despair. I love the words you've crafted of fear and uncertainty, yet amidst it all, there's a poignant thread of resilience. Your words captivate and provoke thought, us deeper into the complexities of human emotion. It's wonderful to see your talent shining once again. I am looking forward to more of your beautiful work. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

The helplessness that youve depicted here through your lines i can feel so deeply! A mothers smile despite the hell that let lose around, and when all are panicking, i see that! Poisoned flowers! I love that word pairing one that iv used too in the past! You have a way with describing things! Very creative soul! Keep writing! And sharing! Sending you light.

There are countless captivating views and intricate lines present in this piece, Tonye. Poisoned flowers of numbness, eerie nights filled with fearful whispers, and a cascade of wounded grasps. The blooming of panicked voices and the parade of a mother's smile juxtaposed with doomed glimmers. The longing for answers in the face of despair as death looms. Well penned

Thank you, Sotto. Some wounds are too deep and reoccurring to heal.
