Brilliant!
(perception as a conduit to our volition
so often, we\'re pushed
to look the other way, acting ignorant
so we can avoid reprisals
living like we\'re on a rotary of fate
knowing eventually
we\'ll soon be facing life\'s heat
strife as all we scope
sunglasses at night, heads lowered
masked like we\'re thieving
each breath
but some, brave enough like you
dear Poet supreme
ink with passion to remind us, that
its never too late
to traverse life, staring down the bul sht
and seeing things for what they are
allowing our choices
to be more than automated outputs
for all the sht they cram
down our eyes and ears, every day
of this endless fight
we named, a life...)

A poet wearing his heart on his sleeve it always works for me dearest Nev, not all men remember stuff that to the average women means so much. I have always loved so much your poetic heart. 💖

When a Diet Does a Fat Lot of Good

\'Hesitate to engage with you on this topic, Neville as I’m sure you could run rings around me with respect to clinical expertise.
However, here’s my two penn\'orth:
Not talking anorexia here (far too complicated) but the other end of the eating disorder spectrum.
My POV is that of one who is diabetic, dependent on insulin.
Forget diets. They exist to fill column inches and sell glossy magazines. Straight advice to those who feel they need it: reduce each meal by a quarter a third or a half as necessary. This is a long-term discipline.

This is so true and in my house we struggle with it all! My wife has to lose it and I can never put it on and I have found over all these years many don\'t see both sides. Not much help to gain weight or people think I\'m lucky but if only then knew...
Great writing my friend

sadness, in shrapnel
thickening our heartbeats
and deflated dreams
deceiving our appetites
for a love, replete
with our forever promises..
(still we must believe
dear Poet supreme
in-between our misses
exist glimpses of all
we can ever hope for..)
loving the wordless winks
a great read!
