A feeling of being used comes from this read of being considered less than a relationship or at least only a one way one. Sad and well written

This is a raw presentation of a threadbare love that is torn but still holds on. Sad and dark it speaks of reality with little hope. Very nicely done it creates its own mood and a fave

In the breakdown of a relationship it is the smallest and simplest of things that bring all the memories back, and as the write says, we sometimes find it very hard to let go of them, nicely written, enjoyed the read

I\'m overwhelmed by your wonderful imagery, this was beautifully written
but maybe, in this rare case
that detracts a little from the pertinent points you\'re making,
another intimate, and insightful read,
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Collide
L. B. Mek said:
as a motorhead myself, I have so many memories attached
to vehicle metaphors, some crystalized mementos of life\'s beautiful experiences, and other\'s
too, car-crash gruesome
to pitch, to a horror fanatic..
(thanks for sharing, dear poet
really liked this lines)
\'I sigh, once
leaning on myself, as a pillar
And focus
on reattaching the wheel
to navigate the road. But
it’s too dark, now
and, You
took the moon, with you...\'

Thoughts on Writing #1
L. B. Mek said:
I think none of us know, really..
sometimes I read what I\'ve written from a few years back
and I have no idea, even
with that date stamp to help me recall
what I must have going through, or feeling
for me to come up with such alien words,
but then at other times, I realise
that me inking - out, so much scarlet
on what was once, a stranger of a blank canvas - connection,
has helped me, make it
to the Today - me,
reading and reflecting, calmly
while breathing, easily
and maybe, there\'s a Tomorrow
where I can look back, at the problems of today
with that same luxury relief, of distance...

Calling Mom at 2:37 AM on the side of a highway
L. B. Mek said:
everything I read from you, is so raw
and bravely-so,
that I inevitably have to blink away, the moisture of built-up emotions...
sing your Truth, dear Poet
bellow it Loud and Proud, for its melodies invoke something truly unique: in the Worthy!
thank you!
