As Time Goes By

all men will gather one by one
and dare remember you:

Looking back over time, there appear to be many memories in this poem, and perhaps ones that arenโ€™t always endearing and positive. That is the feeling I am picking up. The poetic expression is excellent and the imagery is strong.

Another wonderful poem, rich in unique description about mothers . A lovely read Melvin.

The elusive recipient, just beyond view, haunts like a ghost mists veil as choice imagery tricks out a sober tale whose essence calls unto the hearkening soul of yonder. Mystique likewise in tow, this is fascinating and curiously rendered with exceptional imagery, its haunting poignancy refusing to let go of my sleeve. Thank you for sharing.

Here I get the sense of good and evil in that apocalyptical battle where it seems that bad has the upper hand and all that may be left is the memory of good. May be off on this one but was the feeling it evoked

I\'m getting Sylvia Plath vibes with this, I may be totally wrong. Oh Melvin, such poetry you are a strong as an ox with the muse riding your pen hand my friend, such utter beauty in every line. Simply stunning as your heart glows it is felt within your poem. ๐ŸŒน

As I forget whom said it, \"how droll--\" and there must stop, left chewing on the vast imagery rendering a familiar landscape to effect so beautifully, yet likewise so very curiously, I\'m contentedly mixed up. How fascinating. Thank you very much for sharing.

Seven Blades Of Grass

equinox.

of equal length both starmer

and the pitted stones of drought.

self doubt itself no ordinary thing

when sings our Cinderella through the comfort of a chair.

all we as hunched as coal

between the master and the corpse,

each line rehearsed yet never understood.

Well I tried to choose one line but this is just magnificent in full right to the very end in which too is absolutely wonderful. Melvin your equinox is simply exquisite. ๐ŸŒน

Melvin your poems require a different type of reading one must let go of the mind and relax in the emotion. It is the overall feel that one is left with that guages the poem not the understanding of the thought. This is pure poetry at its best. A most lovely poem

When Truth Becomes A Lie
Cassie58 said:

and you my love, that shapes my heart

I will make a world of you already made

how I long to move away
but too afraid

So many beautiful lines here Melvin. Speaks to me about the fear of change. Needs a bucket load of courage at times.

Fab poetry. You always produce the goods.

Strangely this one made sense to me. A kaleidoscope of metaphors that if turned in the right way make a beautiful and meaningful design

When Truth Becomes A Lie
sorenbarrett said:

Loved the first line particularly because truth does become a lie at times and lies can be true too. All in all it is in the eye of the beholder and so many metaphors that each can be taken in their own ways. Lovely Melvin

I\'m pretty sure you will have imagined i would choose these lines

how brave emanel settles on a secondary skin?

in red high heels

no nightingale have I,

to navigate my cinderella\'s tail

Wow and wow loving your title and every line, my hat would have to be blue. ๐ŸŒน Extraordinary poetry as ever from you dearest Melvin. ๐ŸŒน
