lol
that\'s one way to paint over our vices
then again
it\'s only a temporary solution
just like that momentary gratification
.. well it\'s all good n fun, if both willing
reminds me of that good will hunting joke,
all the same:

The Price of a Single Soul
L. B. Mek said:

\'And despite it being so
tarnished, wore
her heart on her sleeve
beneath a
breastplate of feathers ..\'
that\'s just, soul crushing
depths of poetic empathy, to contemplate
brilliantly worded, dear Poet
(we trip and fall, call it a love
draped
in lust\'s quick drying cement
then try
to build a house, on foundations
of waste
at divorce time, we place it for sale
split profits evenly
a shattered soul for you and one for me
give it Time
we\'ll recover, enough to try and fall
Up
...once again!)

When Numbers No Longer Count
L. B. Mek said:

sorry for my rant below, Hyung
this a trigger topic for me..
(saddest part of our psychological
troubles
is that symptoms, are only evident
to those
who choose to empathise and fight
to excavate
to that hidden depth of repressed
self-hate, which underlines
so many
of the choices we see in people
that defy logic
choices, born of such pitiful levels
of self worth
choices, that insures their cycle of hurt
continues
even after escaping their aggressors
in-fact
they are not choices at all, more like
its all they know
recreating, reliving that same hell
because someone, poisoned their mind
early on
making them feel, like they deserve
only the worst in life
and what do we,
\'the well adjusted, judgemental\' do
recognising the symptoms:
best of us, act like we don\'t realise
feigning ignorance
while the rest point and name call
vomiting those
\'hoar\' and \'walk of shame\' labels
yet, still
the very worst
prey on those vulnerable poor souls
time n again
to sate their barbaric depravity
then boast allowed their conquest numbers
and then
every decent person, is left
to try and undo the damage
of those neurotically insidious fools;
Dante, got it wrong
there\'s more than one level of hell for such lustful vermin\'s
in-fact an entire universe of hell
is dedicated just for them
or at least, I like to think...!)

Boo hoo, I gets no \'tumbles\' with KP.
\'Just don\'t give us the descriptions of you and KP in bed\', they say. \'It\'s too ghastly and TMI - Too Much Info!\' We hardly share a bed anyway. Or if we do, I can\'t say I recognise her much with that botox! heehee.

\'\'The Price of a Single Soul\" is a well-crafted and thought-provoking poem that uses powerful imagery and themes to explore the complexities of desire, temptation, and the cost of one\'s soul.

I have a bit of a bed obsession. I do have a wee smidgin of trouble incorporating the relations you speak of into my conception.

Mottakeenur Rehman said:

\"When Numbers No Longer Count\" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Through its vivid imagery and blunt language, the poem captures the confusion and emotional upheaval that can arise when intimacy turns to estrangement.

Scary but true - Whatever the gender human predators show indiscriminate hunger when hunting for scalps - - wonder what they think of their conquests as age steals their ability to stalk more prey........ x

L. B. Mek said:

subtle as ever, dear Poet supreme
a great write!
(in nature documentaries
a lioness, hunts alone
when discarded by her pride
for refusing to confirm
to that new conquering bully
and have her children murdered;
oh how
the viewers laud her defiance
and steadfast loyalty to her children,
where as
in our society, that same lady
born with a \'lioness\' spirit of independence
is marginalised and demeaned
for not being submissive...
luckily
there\'s still a few genuine, men
around
to value, those fierce queen\'s
forced to survive
and hunt
amongst modernity\'s regressive
idiocy...!)

The Marks on Our Ceiling
L. B. Mek said:

this is harrowingly, relatable
and
I so love how subtly you imbue
social commentary in your poetry
these words, beyond the fun
expose the eventual consequences
we\'ll be inheriting
when so much of our youth, assume
living excluded from the wider world
is better than learning the skills
to socialise and coexist
with others...
(another important message
worded light and accessible
thank you Hyung
I read n learn)

Upon Learning to Fly
L. B. Mek said:

(that thread of paradox in existence
live boldly
or survive, watching-on as other\'s
...fly)
\'if Icarus, lived long enough to date\'
lol
such a fun read, thank you Hyung

A Question of Waste
L. B. Mek said:

makes me sad
how modernity celebrates
all those flaunting their wealth
and wasting billions
on supposed missions to Mars
yet \'OUR\' children
are marginalised more n more
and left to fend for themselves...
(sobering to contemplate
that this succinctly worded
\'wake up call\'
will be relevant, till the end of time
still
thank you! dear Poet supreme
for boldly stating
what we all, try to willingly ignore!)

Tempted to ask how high these ceilings are.
Mum always had us never eat in the bedroom lest the tomato sauce or any other sauce fall and stain.
