Thwarted

clement moons lose glow...
sun rises dries dewy tears
heart of mist broken

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Dearest Harry, missing you…but it’s Christmas today— This day, with you in The other side…so we only may faintly feel you somehow know we reach you — As we guess and wonder And pray blessings For what may continue ‘tween here and there.

Missing you dear friend Harry is a shocking feeling for me. Your presence on some of my poems would always remind how wonderful a poetic friend you were for me. Your memories would always live alive in heart and mind. Goodbye dear friend Harry.... May your soul rest always in eternal peace. Ravindra K Kapoor 13th April 2024

Maybe you’ll be breaker hearts in the hereafter Harry. 12 years of wonderful commenting back and forth as a ping pong match. I will write one for you that will be a beauty. Alright then Mr Horsman!!!

Dear Harry, how my heart dropped to the bottom of my core just now as I wanted to come by and read your poems tonight and found out you’re gone. Oh my god, I didn’t know. You were always kind to me. May you continue to write poetry in Paradise my friend. xo

Did'nt know you were gone. Yours was one of the names I was use to seeing. A few names have gone before us. But their writing they left behind. Our immortality.

Yes dear Szaynab. Something we just cannot wrap our heads around. I lost Connie, Rico, then Milton. Today we honor our beloved Harry Horsman in Heaven. Sending my prayers, "One Mean Hombre" for leaving us. RIP
