Abject terror
Bella Shepard said:

You had me in Abject terror all the way through. Descriptive words that penetrate the psyche, I may sleep with the light on tonight, and periodically look under the bed. You are a force to be reckoned with my friend. Powerful stuff here!

Musical smoke
Bella Shepard said:

I love the way you have woven music and smoke into one. The words come to life and the feel of the poem is real. I can hear it, smell it, taste it. Beautiful!

Nothing is everything
L. B. Mek said:

!Brilliant!
\'Here significance has no point
location is meaningless
Existence and nonexistence are joint\'
what refined lines
what depth of wisdom you showcase
what poetic delight
(I bow to your superior talent, wise Poet)
thank you!

This is wonderful starting with your title you have delved into the behind the scene which isn\'t always easy to do. Beautiful. 💖

Always
L. B. Mek said:

causality as our anchor to worth
our ending\'s curated
by the beginnings we overcome
yielding a broken start, to another\'s
journey
side by side, we lament
that we may never influence or change
while by our side, we neglect
that which waits on us
to cherish and appreciate...
perspective
a warping of distance
too close
and we\'re blinded by proximity
too far
and we\'re addicted to its horizon
of possibility
(a wonderfully thought provoking write, wise Poet)
thank you!

In dreams
L. B. Mek said:

\'the small hands clinging in embrace
to feel the joy they once imparted\'
a silk woven poetic line, effortless flow
a tug at our memory\'s wells
\'\'beauty is a hazy past
reflected upon our immediate
sensations and hopes...\'\'
calm eyes, needed to survive
those enticing pitfalls in life..
(another wonderfully melancholic poems
versed and worded as relatable
as a sip of reverie\'s ink...)
a privilege to witness your poetic journey
dear cherished friend
thank you!

Reflections
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
a worded utopia of introspection\'s ideal
(\'I am a victim of introspection\'
Sylvia Plath)
so tread carefully, wise Poet
as you thread selfhood\'s insights
within imagination\'s, poetic
..sight
\'All fears exorcise and hope baptize\'
never forget, our Amygdala inheritance
is our salvation alarm, in this
dulling daily routine trappings
of repressed unease..
stay sharp
think wide
and let your perspective\'s scope
zoom-in,
only on that which you deem worthy
of your precious time, in this
our ephemeral lives...

Doggerel Dave said:

I definitely got a feeling from your lines of the way our language renders our perception of reality; I do think you\'ve made your point there, Soren. Smoothly done.
Last line: Were you referring to production or socialisation?

Eternity
L. B. Mek said:

\'and the brook’s dancing water
whisper to me lovely portents\'
seductive imagery
there is a cadence of grace in these words
as if Gaia herself blessed your ink..
(thanks for sharing, dear Poet
such a lovely read)

Doggerel Dave said:

Seems like it, Soren - those four elements in the right combination in a very specific location/orbit round our sun.. ‘Goldilocks zones’, it has always seemed to me in all probability exist everywhere. Let’s hope that other sentient beings taking advantage do a better job of appreciation and conservation than earthlings here….
Nicely worked logic in poetic form.

We\'ll fox \'em, baffle \'em maybe.
If it was a Big Bang - who caused it?! heehee.
It can\'t be that everything just \'happens\', without some Being in control - so I say.

A parent\'s burden
L. B. Mek said:

even reading your relationship disharmony, hopefully only momentary
is it wrong
I\'m still jealous, you\'ve been granted
the wondrous privilege of parenthood...
not all of us are so lucky my wise friend
remember that, next time you sigh
🍻

The seasons of a life
L. B. Mek said:

\'a small wooden mining house weathered white\'

\'my father’s face appears in my mirror
what I once feared now grows nearer
the snows of age in my hair today\'
genuine tears in my eyes
I am a witness to your bravery, dear Poet
this is my favourite of all your brilliant poems, cherished friend
thank you! stay strong
\'\'The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.\'\'
Robert Frost

Awakening
L. B. Mek said:

\'Here the inverted solar pendulum oscillates, swinging its refining forge to its peak, pouring molten gold from it\'s crucible.\'

\'His repose reveals the hour when the stitching of the clouds are rent asunder, spilling, from those pockets of the milky way\'
(just a privilege to share this inking journey with you
watching your artform evolve
!!!BRILLIANT!!!)
I read and learn wise Poet

thank you! dear Poet
