wording!
a thousand people write the same story
but rarely
deliver it with the distilled brevity and eloquence
of a True poet, like you:
\'Held fast tween
grey space
and golden rays ..
Those that
yet survived
to shine
through broken
stained glass\'
Thank you! what Poetic treats you served this morning..
(hope you n yours have a peaceful week Hyung
my thoughts are with her š)

Ah Neville! I don\'t know whether this is derived from a personal memory or, just an observation. Regardless, it took me to church!! I don\'t know why. By the way, that\'s my mom\'s name! š

If I\'m not mistaken it was also your mother\'s name dear Nev. A close look through a door which I very rarely enter personally but so very beautifully written. š

When All Said and Done itās All Over
L. B. Mek said:
its always heartbreakingly morose
when the most certain pillar in our life
crumbles, before our eyes
in that image, we witness a loss
we can never replace...
but
that\'s why, we can never take love for granted
I like the song
\'I\'m going to love you
like
I\'m going to lose you\'
because it love\'s truth
distilled
it\'s too late to wonder why, after
it\'s our now that matters
giving it all, in our very day
every conversation
every embrace and kiss
leaving nothing to chance
loving, in a way that will insure
come what may, we will have
no regrets..
(I assume this was inspired
by patients or other external influences
so i won\'t worry for you, Hyung)
a Great write!

A beautiful write full of imagery. Fascinating tale (or maybe this is true). Loved it!

Dang it! An extra penny? Some places pass round TWO hats (collection plates) in the same service.
I reckon that\'s being silly - and greedy!
St Paul in the Bible is fair on financial giving. He does not say - give what you haven\'t got!

\"a single act of kindness\" is welcome at any stage, and if it gives some comfort, then perhaps some peace of mind. Beautifully written, your sailor\'s lament!

It can end as starkly as you have described it. I recall two acquaintances who simply went home to an empty house., completely empty, everything was gone not even a bed to sleep on. In your poem the pain of loss is transposed into physical pain, \"stab and a kidney punch.\" This conveys the pain nicely. I also noticed the tongue-in- cheek of \" I regret to inform you\"... clever. \"All said and done,\" a most intriguing poem. - Phil A.

I think that Silence being light or ādarkā is becoming an endangered commodity-Iāve been protective of it be as maybe at full capacity for non sense-but for your poetry, I still have to check regularly Neville,

Dove said:
Silence is my friend. The background noise is an afterthought. Lust and love in memories never end,
but rather holds on at every cost. Hear the wind she blows
The memories in our ears. The heart beats faster because in that silence time knows no fears...
Great Poem dear, dear Neville

silence is a language
I study, earnestly
I am at one with solitude
because, silence
speaks to me, guides me
assures me, pausing
waiting, planning is also
part of my progression
that\'s where meditation
is born out of..
\'we should never judge
but strive to understand\'
what a great message, Hyung
hope you and your loved ones
have a Sun kissed weekend
adorned by smiles and light
hearts..

to appreciate, that gifted \'Home\'
in our lives, is the first glimpse
of wisdom, blossoming in our lives
(I choose to believe)
Brilliant!
may that darkness be swallowed
by the light of your defiant Hope
before
it reaches your doors, my friend š

Ghetto Girls
L. B. Mek said:
it seems every new rapper
was once a stripper...
world labels her a success
showers her with money and praise
ignores, what it cost
what she had to endure to arrive
at this place/space..
and so nothing is done
that path is left unchecked, like
a training regime
and here comes another 16 year old
hiding her age, learning
to ignore those eyes and dollar bills
tainting her soul
and how worthless and cheap
they make her feel
because , she knows
outside, on every other street corner
worse fate\'s await...
(this is why i RAGE at this world
every fckin inch a Hypocrisy
with spineless, seedy intent
All this fckin vermin\'s
\'Working to protect their mothers
daughters, and sisters\'
then turning around
and violating every other girl they see
with their eyes..)
I RAGE
(a most dispirited, impotent
!RAGE!)

Silent...cries? Wondering if they\'re being heard? Silence can say a lot more than we realize...and it sounds to me like, with this deafening quietness, there\'s still...hope. A ray of light...an open door? Maybe it\'s just my glass half full personality that sees it. But, what do I know! Loved it! š
