Love Is A Language
L. B. Mek said:

\'for written by many
yet felt by the few, love\'..
how well these lines encapsulate
the discord
between our poetic portrayal, of love
and the real thing, that few of us
get to experience..
so much passion, you invoke
utilising such accessible wording..
a great read!
thank you for choosing to share
dear empathetic Poet
(sorry but I have been missing your posts lately
so had to trace back and read your last few..
hope you don\'t mind)

Tree Of Identity
L. B. Mek said:

... to walk upon
and pave a path, of your own!
(these reads so, sincere
I can relate to having a duality of faith
in one household
where cultural traditions, sit
like stranded water
on that oil of structured religion..
a great write! and really like these lines:)
\'your words I hear there’s no need
to scold I’m a deep thinker that feels
how such empty miseducated portraits
yearn for newly educated souls\'

Very well written, Garth. To be able to find enlightenment in a poem so sad, makes this a great read, penned with even greater skill. Well done, sir

This poem is masterfully constructed Garth, the flow is very much like the journey going through the streets.

I\'ve always thought that the most precious commodity a human can possess, is time, not money, thus, your poem is a clear reminder for all of us; to treasure time more.

Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

Wow. This was written so elegantly. “It’s better to lose one minute of your life than your life in one minute\" Time is often neglected and we don\'t cherish life as much as we ought to. After the passing of my mother I learned to appreciate every aspect of life more. Bravo to you Garth! 👍💖

Such force in your words of reminders to \"hug the clock\" and further to be more aware of precious days passing. A fine write Garth and one to keep for poets like me to read over and over again.

The black Mariah in Britain is slightly different. I recall being chased by the black Mariah, and they were always driven by the police. You never wanted to be caught by the black Mariah police.

Wow. Great poem! Identity is such an elusive thing for some people and it could be hard to get a grip on it. Nicely written!

Caring dove said:

I like your poems

I like how you have expressed yourself . Sometimes all we want to do is be that light .. when we are not .. and sometimes we simply are that light for ourselves and others 🙂

A great poem ))

\"Better yet, strike me a match
for my wayward ways
Bring me to my knees
by candle light, that I may heed\"

Matches? I ain\'t got no matches. I don\'t need no stinking matches lol😋 In case your scratching your head,it\'s a parody of a old Humphrey Bogart film called The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. In the scene it actually badges😜 But on a more serious note;great words of inspiration here Garth,and with much passion😀✌️🌟🕊

Sittin\' On The Dock Of The Bay
Paul Bell said:

Sad reflective write.
It\'s strange how water can bring such emotion to the fore. Maybe it\'s the journey the water senses in us.
Good place to be, mind you, and the song ain\'t half bad.
