    I loved my redhead as well. Gone is she now, to a former lover. Well, current lover better said. I thought we were writing a book together, but I was just a bookmark.

    since I was little, I dream of a redhead woman, and since I was a kid I always feel sad and melancholia. like a weight in my chest. always there.
    I had this redhead woman in my life, it was like christine hendrics but smaller and with green eyes, the most beutifull girl I ever seen. but with so much troubles in mind, suicidal, depression, pills, and other stuff.
    it was my goddess , my queen, in general. I try to help but she just gone, throw me away . she is alive but not with me.
    and again , alone again, in the same room , but now with the memories , the bittersweet memories. of the lost readhead, and laugh at this, bukowski was another companion in my life, is like is redacting my toughts again and again.

    Your focusing on loss is perfect proof that it is not really loss that brings you grief but that you are nurturing a sense of nostalgia. And that is very poetic of you, in and of itself.

    IDK why I love Mr. Bukowski poems maybe it’s that shot of peppermint oil or wasba paste that opens my senses… hahahaha… I feel; it’s the universalness of ppl he is referring to…”there is something wrong with me”… bc stars can fall from dark skies!🎉

    It's quite interesting how people get used to melancholic/depressive phases, it's a mix of feelings. Sometimes it feel that melancholia is indeed a friend, but not in a usual good relationship, it's the one that destroys your routine and habits and turns it into a frenzy spiral, yet you can't get away from this toxic dear friend.

    "Me, i writhe in dirty sheets". This line reminds me of my friend's husband who is now bed-ridden with cancer. Happy he was when his son who works abroad sent him some cash to spend for his medical check-up. He squandered the hard-earned cash with his girlfriend instead. When the moment of truth finally arrived he was dumbstruck to learn that he has cancer in his prostate. I could just imagine how regretful he must have felt at being stupid.

    I have been doing one minute of grieving, one per minute. For four months. My soul is bruised and bitten from it, and I so much try not to go back. I feel close to my redhead when I am in pain.

      @@MIs4175 Yes poetry is subjective but what Bukowski delivered wasn't poetry, it's mostly depressive prose with no destination to it, he shouldn't have called it poetry. Poetry has rhythm and rhyme, it tells a story.
      The past true poets would be spinning in their graves to hear Bukowski's work described as poetry, my worst poetry is better than anything Bukowski wrote.
