\'Perhaps next year
The bed will be made\'
that\'s the dream: anchoring our nightmare
of anxiety driven, lethargy...
thanks for sharing, dear poet

You’re 19 Forever
L. B. Mek said:

yeah, this - simply
is why I choose to champion poetic write\'s
and shall continue, to do so..
no my world didn\'t explode
nor was I lulled into an out of body experience
blah, blah, blah
no: its simply the fact
that for those brief minutes
I was lost within the world
your words curated into existence
and, that\'s all that we need - sometimes
just an avenue, a conduit
to help us escape, even for a fleeting while
while we doggedly traverse
from one blink, to our next..
thank you, dear poet

Nineteen was a very long time ago for me but in my head I am still thirty five - until I do something physical. LOL

Central City Scrutiny
L. B. Mek said:

damn, I so wish I had the IQ capacity
to break down and unfurl the meaning and message
you\'ve hidden, infuriatingly: too well...
a shame, I think I would have appreciated your write
if I had a little context to help me look
for the breadcrumbs of hope and defiance, you imbued

The Boy That Lost His Hat

Harry, I am still trying to figure out what I like about your poems. They are certainly original and interesting curiosities that seem both totally original and yet hauntingly familiar.

But one thing I know: your poems have the best titles. Charm of the Scoundrel was my favorite until this! Thanks for sharing these.

In The End
L. B. Mek said:

\'Raise their hand once again
Disputing the real issue

Fall into the devotion
That may harm your every way
Every day
The sound of that name
Is enough to drain the pain
From any unfortunate dissipated lover
Here again, shifting the blame\'..
a write worded with precision of a survivor\'s need for expressive veracity,
articulating with impassioned accuracy our collective need for self-searching endeavours to uncover, our root cause of \'learnt behaviours\' cyclical nature, why
must we choose to settle for a love: to anyone who merely deigns to find us worthy of affection,
when we can be far more selective and minimise the inevitability of suffering yet another trampled heart

All The Addicted
L. B. Mek said:

\'A staggering heartbreak
When your love
Goes to waste
Or should I say
When fate finds a place to stay\'
what Empathy you wield within such sincere words of Poetic eloquence dear Poet,
Brilliant!
Happy New Year

Hi Harry

A great write.

We live in a world of so many diverse choices too many in fact.

Potential for information overload pethaps at times!

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

I admire the control in your write, let it all out, every last ounce - only way to make space for whatever awaits next: repeat, recycle - begin again, let this dance of life, never derail!

Silly Little Rascal
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful characterisation of a self-portrait whilst negotiation a challenging time in life, has that quirky depth of Dicaprio\'s Inception,
with creative imagery and flow, good write
