do i know you?
L. B. Mek said:

Happy New Year!
dear talented Poet
just another, surgical
distillation
of such commonly experienced
woes and hurts,
words I relate with, on so many levels
simply: Brilliant!
confessional poetry,
I think Sylvia Plath, herself
would agree..
thank you! for choosing to share
loved these lines:
\'watching myself shave
in the dirty mirror,
where blood that we both
once shared drips into
the sink from a cut
on my chin

do you remember when
you wanted to prove
that i wasnā€™t your son\'..

do i know you?
woundedheart said:

So bittersweet that a man could judge his own flesh and blood on something so beautiful as love, love shouldn\'t be categorized it should be celebrated. This is a very heart felt piece full of emotion. ā˜ŗ

spilleronsheet said:

This is sad
Too sad
Why abandon once and then return
Isnā€™t it farce
Itā€™s better to be known as child of heaven
Than to know some stranger as guardian
Very emotional write, dear poet

belief
James Michael said:

It took a few reads for clarity on this one. Once again you have expressed your feelings about love incredibly well, a very hard thing to do for most of us. There are some words like ā€œhousesā€ and ā€œletsā€ that could be changed. Typos ainā€™t nutten to worry about as long as you can project your emotions!

for love
woundedheart said:

The minstrels of old made their livelihood telling stories forming legends immortalizing myths, you capture their nature well

a more definitive ending
James Michael said:

Forgiveness is the key. A tender heart can be easily broken. Your honesty and insight into your emotions shows clearly in the depth of your poetry.

Enough psychobabble! This is a great poem my friend! Hoping things are going well for you.

for love
James Michael said:

An anthology possibly. The meaning of love for the ones who have touched your heart deeply.

Your poems always keep the reader fascinated, a true gift in my opinion. This one was worth the wait. Simply brilliant!

for love
L. B. Mek said:

flowers, given in the Now
not allowing
for belated regret, a chance
at poisoning
a love, we once cherished:
till our heart\'s content...
(just another wonderful read
thanks for choosing to share, dear poet)

for love
jarcher54 said:

Very elegant, very poignant. Narrative enough to make me want to finish, elusive enough to make me reread it a number of times.

reckless in love and other things
James Michael said:

Such profound and succinct words. Keep being recklessly in love, your heart will guide you.

Just read the previous comments by Sax and dusk. Itā€™s good to know some people appreciate your work. The song is awesome too! Carry on my friend.

it\'s hard to be the bard, baby
James Michael said:

You have taught me something that is easily forgotten. Thank you my friend!

to: simon
James Michael said:

Written incredibly well in your unique style. The stats. are very real. More people should research the information you shared. I was aware of how grim those numbers are, but didnā€™t remember those percentages.

The movie I havenā€™t seen (ā€œLove, Simonā€). Iā€™ll try to find it. Hopefully anyone reading this comment will do the same.

Hope youā€™re doing well my friend!

steps to survival
James Michael said:

A real wallop of a poem. Started out with words from many therapistsā€™ mouths. Turning into the harshness of what is truly felt. Brilliantly nearly ending with ā€œand you are aliveā€ x 3.

What is the point of living? To live, I believe. No matter how messy it gets!

from the past
James Michael said:

So much intense introspection in this one. It was surely therapeutic.

Iā€™m going through your work like a slot machine, canā€™t find any that I donā€™t like.

i was a teenage lesbian
James Michael said:

The sincerity and emotion of this is overwhelming. A true poem in the truest sense. Excellent work!

for the captain once again
James Michael said:

Your love for the captain shines once again. A person who has ridden the storms of the sea is an admirable person indeed. May the love you feel forever last.

for the captain once again
L. B. Mek said:

yes, there surely is dear poet!
thanks for sharing, and that muse of a captain
brings out the best in your subtly nuanced style
in my humble opinion..
liked these lines a lot:
\'a kind of magic imbued
in the way the captain
glances at the bard
with a twinkle in his eye

that hints at the star
he used to be,
when he sailed towards
a much closer horizon\'

one last time
James Michael said:

Ouch! Bitterness exudes from this one. Luckily you were able to get out of that relationship. Toxicity, unfortunately, will be part of love. It tends to give a sweeter taste to it when things are wonderful.

one last time
Goddess of the Mist said:

Aaaaw, so sad! I\'m sorry that happened but I like how you expressed it here.

no beauty/no romance
James Michael said:

It gives me great relief to know that youā€™ve recovered from those days. This poem is incredibly raw and written with a painful grip on the pen. Youā€™ve conveyed true emotions so clearly. I believe this is what poetry should be. No muddling about with words to impress, no insincerity, just truth laid out on paper that comes straight from the heart.

no beauty/no romance
James Michael said:

I barely made it through this one. Iā€™ll get back to you another time if the tears ever dry.

an argument in support of foolishness in all matters of love
James Michael said:

Wow! Such a romantic tale incredibly well written. The title is succinct and well chosen. This one really shows your talent as a writer.

Iā€™m starting to run out of your poems that I havenā€™t read before. Oh well, might as well read them again. ā€œGotta do something, donā€™t we?ā€ A line from Rebel Without a Cause.

becoming
James Michael said:

A very soothing reminder of how love should be. ā€œafter all, every living thing needs some kind of constantā€. That is what brings comfort and peace to our crazy lives. Knowing a beacon will be there for us.

Thanks for writing this wonderful poem.

hey there, captain
James Michael said:

I donā€™t see unrequited love in your tales of the captain, only an understanding that the bard and he share.

This one is very tender and heartwarming. No regrets in matters of the heart. ā€œTis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.ā€ comes to mind.

hey there, captain
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dear Boaz,

A wonderful piece of writing.
Youā€™ve masterfully captured
unconditional love with your penā€¦
(pun intended).

Bravo šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Never regret a loveā€¦unconditional and/otherwise.

Thank you for sharing your amazing work.

hey there, captain
rebmasters said:

This is simply beautiful

\'and there must be something holy
in the flour dusted on my black shirt\'

Such wonderful imagery

&

\'and you werenā€™t mine to love,
much less fall in love with

but, just the same,
thatā€™s not something i can bring
myself to regret\'

Makes me cry a little bit as I\'m feeling something similar.

xx

James Michael said:

The intensity of this one is incredibly real. This trauma you describe shakes the soul to the core. Just remember you are not alone. I truly wish for beautiful days ahead of you.

my lady of the ocean and the waves
James Michael said:

A gorgeous tale. The siren is an entrancing character. The sea captain is always a bit of a mystery to me. Usually I think of Johnny Deppā€™s Jack Sparrow. A man born to the sea. Yours has more of a romantic side.

July 12th, 2021 21:28

return to me, my love, again and again
James Michael said:

The captain will always belong to the sea. The lament over this will always haunt the bard. The fact the captain has shown the bard his love is exquisite in this story.

You are a gifted story teller. It would be interesting to read something more elaborate. Is there any need for that actually?
