My Heart’s Playlist of Songs
L. B. Mek said:
\'Totaling 289
Until the next song insists\'
\'For love to haunt a man
For more than fifty years
With the memory of your smile
And not even a hint of tears\'
\'This playlist of songs\'
\'Every one:
Memories of you Sharon\'
\'The smile you left with me
Fueling my inner fire\'
\'The distant past
I lovingly rewind\'..
(please forgive me for rearranging your beautiful poetry
so rudely, I hope you know I mean no disrespect, my friend
I just wanted you to see how your poem, revealed itself to me)

Those memories will never fade AP and that list of songs is so important in that memory.
So many songs that I hear bring my Joyce back to me.

The Graveyard at Sea
L. B. Mek said:
\'His inner fire of conquest
Eternally it burns
As the stormy waves
Become monsters in the night\'..
these lines remind me of:
\'Life\'s a voyage
that\'s homeward bound.\'
by the great Herman Melville
of voyages upon oceans, you both write
where destinations
are the fulfilment of our lives: dreamed wishes...
wonderfully worded and carefully contextualised
a great read, thanks for sharing dear poet

Thanks for your poem and reminder of and background to the movie ‘The Perfect Storm’, AP. A rich picture you paint of the experience at sea.
Have strong memory (and coming from me this is an aberration) of the hymn, known popularly as ‘For those in peril on the sea’ not it’s proper title, I think. However,

I’m sure you would know it.

Living in the Shadows
L. B. Mek said:
\'Pride follows confidence
Failure to fear of success
There’s safety in the shadows
An ego to caress\'..
these words, hit home with unerring accuracy my friend..
wonderfully executed, a delectable read of poetic wisdom..
\'Smile from eyes of (blue)\'
*not the colour: but the feeling..
this be those weary blue\'s
those jazz beats, serenade
in songs of unflinching defiance;
as in Longfellow\'s, \'Psalm of Life\':
\'Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal...\'

I was a christian, I have been a Chaplain and had the belief in the christian god. My wife had sung a praised the christian god all her life but when dementia started to take her no matter how much praying saved her and eventully she was taken - WHERE WAS THE christian GOD WHENSHE NEEDED IT.
I subsequently gave up the christian idea of god but I know that there is My God which is there for me. I now believe that organised religion is a farce and a pack of lies.
I believe Jesus existed but I look upon him as the first Hippie - make love, not war.
May your god go with you AP.

A poignant write AP.
Anyone could just chirp out: \'God loves you\'. It makes us feel sick (and we\'re sick of them too) if they are \'all OK\' and life is cosy for them, maybe in a religious cliquey group.
