Oh what an incorrigible romantic you are mon ami - who would not want to make out again on the premise of more heavenly repeats with that whispered ode in their ear ? ..........x

You\'ve written brilliantly of the desire to capture the moment, the experience, irrevocably in time. Beautiful, alluring, well done dear poet!

Or, as they once said in the very old days (and I was there though much more recent than Andy and orchi\'s claimed experience - but long enough): \' No washing your dirty linen in public\' š

If you\'ve made it this far with just 2 flaws, my dented hat off to you sir. I missed Flawed #1... using my imagination though...

How often do we feel a sense of disappointment when we come to find that all that glitters isn\'t gold, a sentiment you have captured all too well. Good write my friend!

And we move on together or apart, hopeful in the revelation and the possibilities that have presented themselves!

I love this poem, Neville! That last stanza gives much to think about....as we are imperfect even though we wish perfection to be true...wonderful!

The ConfessionĀ
L. B. Mek said:
attempting to scribe
those raw, heinous aspects
of our so-called \'human\' nature
rarely lends itself to poetic eloquence
be Proud, Hyung
you find it hard to write, despite
your unquestioned skill and talent
because, I feel
like me, you have an innate hatred
for the very fact
that such words, need to exist
but this is why, I refer to those I respect
\'we truth scribblers, few\'
this is why, we challenge ourselves
to word, a transparency
to our reality, even its most
detestable aspects..
(I read and learn, wise Poet
thank you!)

harrowingly Brilliant!
so insightful Hyung
sadly I recognise many a friend
who\'ve fallen for this
far, too common trapping
of ambition, to fit in
amongst circles, made more
of venomous tongues
than a forest of snakes..
(to me, this is less a poetic depiction
more, a sobering meditation
on the ill-fate, awaiting so many
who in their ambition, to fit in
do instead, push themselves
till their very foundation, of self
begins to creak and shudder
underneath, all that self-deceiving
and those, vultures
waiting to find the cracks, to exploit
any weakness
begin to throw, their insidious stones
wrapped in barded words, targeted
to do the most irreversible damage
...
here be the price, of acceptance
within our so called society
...
and yet, the alternative, is to be left
a bystander, to life itself
...

Doggerel Dave said:
If it\'s not too much trouble, Nev, would you mind if I put any appreciation on hold, until you arrive at a final version?
My overly literal mind has tied itself into a couple of knots over this, and I must take a lengthy lie down.

Interesting writing like how it starts more lighthearted with the mention of nature ( the sand ) and the turquoise umbrella ) but then it turns out he has a confession to make ( which I wasnāt expecting )
Especially like the first two verses

Sensational write Nev. - The turquoise umbrella did it for me - - reminiscent of a wonderful painting by Andre Kohn and his girl had a torn skirt too - -however I know not a thing of the male who faced need of confession - - as always the clever intrigue calls for knowing a bit more re. this haunt of a read..........x

This is an encouraging start. However, there\'s a lot of extraneous wording that if gotten rid of will make the poem much stronger. For example: \"Like some old church MIGHT sound PERHAPS.....I think removing perhaps would make the stanza resound more. The opening line is really good---in draws you in, especially \"such a pretty fabrication\".

Wonderfully worded my friend. Sad for the people who never seem to be able to find their true selves, and perhaps need help all the more. They do unwittingly compound their own misery, and you can only ask why?

A Single Truth For all Things Being Unequal
L. B. Mek said:
(distinction is vital
to enable recognition
yet
when bombarded with such endless
diversity
in all-things, existence
seldom are we offered the opportunity
to take note, of those tendril notes
that do more than tease our noses
and entice our eyes
within such a brief, gust of wind as life...)
I recognise the yearning for acceptance
of our fallible state, within ambition to experience
all of existence, greedily
in these subtle poem Hyung
\'just maybe, waiting
to be found and felt ..\'
a toast, dear Poet
for all the maybe\'s we\'ve yet
to feel
to taste, to treasure
as our next, next
favourite
\'Salut!\'

onwards then my friend, ever

She Smelt Like 24 Carat Gold

funny how we smelt, true worth
of those we\'ve lost, after

The Day Before the Day Before Today
L. B. Mek said:
\'I watched you drown
in monochrome reflections\'
love this wording Hyung..
how we obsess the minutia
details
while watching our opportunity\'s
dissipate, before our very eyes...
(oh youth, oh weary soul
woe to ye, who dares attempt
to feign, sincerity
damned, to be a blind witness
to all that ye see
and relinquish, needlessly)
