Author's Note

PAIN for red and COLD-HEARTED for blue. They are all connected and that is true. :)

WOW!

As you know, I dont do that much poetry, so in saying that I would like to say that this poem in my eyes was very 'HARD HITTING' piece (excuse the pun, not meant to come across that way at all.

You made it even more EXTREME with the RED and BLUE.

Mark.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much Mark. :) It is good to know that you like it.

[matrixmark]

Powerful piece.
I wish I could add more, but its just not my area.
Thank you for sharing.

Mark.

I am actually focused on the Onomatopoeia. That is why I try to make it as short as possible. :)

"SOUNDS OF ABUSE"
CAPOLAVORO,
This writing is a special one. It gives a wake up call to the rest of us to be aware of the lives of others. It is not always apparent; the suffering of others. But in relationships I believe their are clues seen. Your poem must of been hard to write as it sure was difficult to read. So awful, so sad these issurs of dysfunction and the brokenness. Anyway keep up the good writing.
Blessings,
Kathy

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much Kathy. Somehow I've seen the worst of worsts so I get to express them easily. My job allows me to see all those stuffs since I am a social worker. :)

[James Keller]

Wow....don't know what to say here that hasn't already been said. It's just....fantastic.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much James. :)

[Paul Bell]

Don't think it gets any rawer than that. Hard hitting and to the point. Life at its worse.

[CAPOLAVORO]

I am so glad you felt the piece Paul Bell. :)

[Tony Jordan]

Well done to you.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much Tony. :) Never thought I could get a positive feedback from you. For you are I thought hard to pleased.

[Tony Jordan]

I dont know what gave you that idea dear poet.
Welcome.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Hehe nothing. Just a thought of mine. :)

[ms. barrie]

wow indeed!!! this is such an accurate portrait of abuse that for personal reasons, was a hard write for me to read, tho it's a topic that's not screamed out enough & of course should be.

the imagery of honest brutality, and the feeling of the shame of the one on the receiving end, leaves an indelible mark on the reader's conscious (which ofc on a topic like this should be the goal) - brilliant dictation and use of words. reading your author's, i enjoyed the unique use of creativity . -- thank you for sharing - x

[CAPOLAVORO]

[Coyote Poetry]

Abuse is a sickness. The sad part. The misery received by the person abused. They learn fear and pain. Thank you dear friend for sharing he powerful poetry.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Thank you so much too. I am glad you see it that way I do. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

I did and you are welcome my dear friend.

[Sinbulvinter]

Whoa, very hard to read and powerful. As a survivor of both sexual assualt and domestic abuse, this really was a moving piece.

It's sad how these kinds of things happen and they're ignored or treated as taboo, or the victim is somehow blamed for what happened to them.

I applaud you for writing this and spreading awareness.

[CAPOLAVORO]

I love it when you say as a "SURVIVOR" of sexual assault and domestic abuse. It made me feel happy that you get out from being a victim part and finally able to see the beauty of life despite trials. Thank you so much. I applaud your courage also. May other be people learn from you as they go out from being a victim into a survivor. :)

[Sinbulvinter]

That's what I aim for, being a survivor and that's the most people who have been through that can do. Survive, move on, recover, and get stronger.
