Leaving brave footprints to make way for the new is perhaps dangerous as future is ever an unknown adventure. Slow and sure and keeping a watch on how hard to press seems the best way. - - an engaging read on which to ponder mon ami...........x

When the Shit First Hit the Fan
L. B. Mek said:
indeed, dear Poet
in those days
we all stepped on a little shit
and had the awareness
to smell it, on us..
where as now:
(we brush it all, \'under the carpet\'
till walking, becomes
aquaplaning..
still, we look for more room
to hide our shit
whenever, we mess up
\'denials and distractions
at all cost, Please;\'
you, rule
just give us enough room
to refute our realities
this
be that true, evolutionary state
of our weak willed
regressive, modernity...!)

Ohh, a mystery of life - why is it that s**t hits the fan, and not, say, I dunno, feathers or grass or something random. Best to be facing the opposite direction to the fan then! Oops!
I can see deeper meaning though in this.

Agreed Nev. Even in my (in this instance relatively short) lifetime the decline has been blindingly obvious.

Scenes of war on the nightly news cannot even come close to the reality experienced first hand. Home again, breakfast; tea, toast, marmalade, juxtaposing normal with untold horrors witnessed. this poem is so wonderfully written from the heart and soul. A great write my friend!

Dove said:
Can’t imagine the horror and sadness, the toughest thing I had to face so I thought was that a Coyote had eaten one of my cats that ran out of the house. I heard scratching at my gate, and pounded on my window. A Coyote emerged from it then left as the flood lights turned on. When the morning daylight came, I thought I was going to wake up to a bloody mess, but there wasn’t any. An hour later I saw my cat and got him in. He slept a whole day, poor thing, and my heartache vanished.
Thanks again for your humanitarian efforts. Bless you

This poetry was a mystery
From yearnings
To love
To thrill
To further emotions
Was it the confidence of the lady
Or the virtue of patience
When broken hearts could move with time
Truly lost in words dear Neville…

Great read Nev - had me pondering why the draped female who wanted her man smelling of time. Hhmm - though with no clue this feels like a Nev-kinda- dream woven with special threads of intrigue - - but after several reads I see a near-broken relationship on the way to be mended. Hope this detective work hits one or two nails tho\' still in awe of your take on those clear but vague recollections............. x

(so, your Inspirational poetry
is back
and thus, my qwerty keys are flying again
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
\'The\' Poet is back!!!!!!!)
does water in the sea, recycle?
does rain, wash anew
those rivers of history?
if not
let us swim, dear friend
dip our toes
and jump, head first
place our bets
all in!
swim - back
to those Grecian, pillars
of mythology, comforts
where God\'s
visited us, and swam in the same
Lakes
we \'tadpole-d\', out from..
swim - back
to a society, that had
a dedicated island of Lesbos
than just a month, in a year
of politically - feigned, equality..
swim - back
to wisdom and knowledge
we of modernity, choose
to forget and taint
so as to hide, from its complexities
and truth\'s
like, when a Goddess we can never
aspire, to believe-in
can be worshiped
for simply breathing, near
our dreams..
like, when we could look
and covet
that grace
only a woman, can gift our life\'s
without, being made to feel
lice creeps
plotting, insidious attraction
in our innocent heart\'s..
indeed,
dear Poet supreme
let\'s swim - back
and indulge, in a mirage
of Time
where, we fallible humans
brushed wishes and
shooting stars
with those, wingless angels
and gods
lowered near enough, to reach
and imperfect, enough
for us to aspire
and imitate or at least
exist, aside...
(it all ended
with \'cleanliness is next to godliness\'
became, a thing
since
we can never, shower our myth\'s
in-to, our realities
however much we scrape and clean
our fears in-to, morbid dreams..)
