Portents IV
L. B. Mek said:
those blinked seconds between choice and consequence?
or happenstance and circumstance?
or nurture vs nature?
or, or, or...
Portent\'s and prophecies aplenty, from antiquity,
to that same stinky socks, worn for every \'lucky day\' miracle \'Hail Mary\' attempt, with seconds remaining on that fleeting window of opportunity...
I say, put a P on one side and E on the other of your chosen \'faithful\' coin, flick it up - high
and walk-on, to your next - to do list
(where E stands for Excuses, Escapes, Elective-ignorance)
(forgive me if I completely side stepped your theological themes and hijacked your words into my own selfish interpretation, dear poet)
thanks for sharing, a thought provoking read

Not the Religion I Knew
L. B. Mek said:
devoid of any alignment with your theological points
this was a well written poem
very insightful and your arguments, well articulated
thank you, for choosing to share..
(why not start our own avenue for faith
a pick and mix buffet, devoid of zealotry and lies
we choose, knowingly
eyes - wide: shut! in hope
that we, alone - be the ones to guess write?!)
\'Let no one, dictate - Anything, to you
not even, when they poison your waters
to that childhood naivety, you - long
to claim back, and include in your
purview of informed, Awareness...\'

whether things have changed or not Eugene...
what wont change is your poetry of brilliant images and life itself;
the last stop on the way to history...
a line to treasure;

Sixty Taps in an Olde Swamp

You habe found your Happy place. Your home away from home. A place to feel at ease in. A place to feel at home. A nice write.

Paths VI
L. B. Mek said:
\'Their cadence in the morning darkness
It\'s always been an escape for me
An alternative destination
Someplace contrary to where I\'m headed\'..
exemptional pacing, adding a real depth of poignancy
and relatability of melodic melancholy
although, without it being too sombre;
a measured write of nuanced brevity,
your lines take us on a musical whirlwind journey
of yearned-for: remembrance
to a time, we wouldn\'t necessarily want to revisit
under normal circumstances.
Brilliantly executed, a great write! dear poet

L. B. Mek said:
\'I do not understand why the moth flies into the flame
Has he never been singed\'
(I do not understand why people continue to lie
do they not know, in-order to lie - we must first, lie: to ourselves...)
\'I am human and American, and I am not ashamed\'
(I am a Person and a Temporary resident on Earth
dogpaddling to survive in our collective, embarrassment and shame)
\'never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in
except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force\'
(never surrender to wilful ignorance\'s, easy trappings
where all our enemies are born of other\'s, misdoings
while we deem ourselves - obliviously: blameless...)
(please, forgive me for rudely and arrogantly
interpreting and misconstruing your message of defiance
against those oppressing forces, within society..
I sincerely don\'t mean to be contrary
just, for the sake of it, dear Poet
only, I wanted to point out that change, usually begins
with acknowledgement of our own - somewhat innate, fallibility)
thanks for sharing!
(feel free to delete my comment
if you find it offensive or argumentative
again, really sorry if you did)

L. B. Mek said:
there\'s a distinct difference between being alone and feeling lonely
a solitary existence may be a temporary need of personal preference
at choice crossroads in our lives path
since its too hard to hear ourselves - think
when busily juggling other\'s pinons: of ourselves..
a good read, thanks for sharing

Romantic Interlude

More sarcasm than anything, but I\'ve seen a lot of relationships in my days - my own and others. The pic was an afterthought. Thought it drove home the sarcasm nicely. Hope I didn\'t do too much damage - not intended. Thanks for reading.

A neat little write, Eugene. (My oblique way of giving a tick).
However, because I have very little talent or understanding of metaphor, I\'m always unsure... I half feel this could be about a failed relationship (popular topic on MPS) or about a carnivorous plant.
On the theme of plant your pic. took me down a rabbit hole and I ended here:

Thanks, but I\'m not sure I\'ll sleep tonight...

some insightful truth\'s you\'ve shared, and a good read:
\'To live so subtly
Diminished to all
Who live in starkness
Not darkness, you see
Or can you see at all
With that glare in your eyes\'
