You ask if I'm okay,
because I am
unusually quiet
today.
I'm just trying to keep memories
behind the flood gates
so they don't sweep me away
to a dark place.
Thank you for being my escape,
a bright light,
my way home,
my touchstone.
Your love helps ease the pain.
I don't mean to push you away.
There are so many things I want to say,
but I must go, feed Jake.
A touching poem that strikes all the right chords in the right places. I also had not realised that Jon Bon Jovi was actively involved in helping ex-service personnel. More power to him and indeed to you for writing such worthy pieces
Nice one

Beautiful poem.

Thank you for reading and your feedback Merey! I too love Jon Bon Jovi, not just because his band puts out amazing music, but because he gives back to his community through his pay-what-you-can Soul Kitchen and helps veterans. I think this new song will bring even more awareness. I hope his generosity inspires more celebrities to do what they can to make the world a better place. One rocker, one poet, one motivated person at a time can make a dark world shine.

I liked the video, as a child i was very fond of jovi. Nice write Vauw.
Very cool Do. We are surfing on the same plane today! I love Bon Jovi for many reasons including their amazing music and the way Jon gives back through his Foundation and Soul Kitchen. Bon Jovi was the first concert I ever attended. I love that they are still going strong. So inspiring to keep pursuing your art❣️
Thanks Po. This poem was inspired by Bon Jovi’s new song Unbroken that he wrote for a documentary about service dogs.
