Reflections
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
(one moment of reflection
as a multiplicative inducement
to formulate
our refracted hope\'s, within
lightning
in midsummer, lunch hour
a spark
dissonance crazed hair, as our
self-worth\'s, Phoenix flower
\'One sparkle instantaneously multiplying
glimmering stars in an expanding universe
One smile turns into limitless grins,
with no energy expended\'
just, One
helpful hand, kind gesture
or relatable empathy
worded irresistibly, majestic
just, One)

L. B. Mek said:
love this
\'We need imaginary supermen
to save us from a defunct society\'
Nietzsche\'s entire idyllic philosophy
distilled within seven words
now that\'s what I call a Poetic, feat!
lol
(for that last verse
may I humbly suggest
\'We need medicine, scares
reminder of good-health\'s, precious grace\')
just a thought, forgive my rudeness
dear Poet, I mean no disrespect

At the most basic level we are all the energy of life, one incredible, inexplicable, beautiful thing that you capture so eloquently in this poem.

Freakin perfect The list of luminaries that reside already in our past , present , and future worlds need no accolades real or imagined to be listed. It’s authentic. It’s notarized. It’s validated !! Slyly, then, without raised words , by the power of classic inference alone , the finale , the Showstopper w exponential Genois se quoit , is Poetry and by extrapolation the Poet is the Hero. VIVA

Thank you so much L.B. I\'m a little more verbose than Mohamed Ali. I felt a bit of panphysicism in this as I wrote it.

your poem, my friend
reminds me of the great
Mohamed Ali\'s famous poem
regarded as one of the shortest and most poignant poems, ever
he \'apparently\' came-up with it
while giving a speech to a class
of mostly white students
using his fingers to accentuate
his words, just two words:
\'Me,
We!\'
(Inclusivity as Oneness
is a most beautiful, ideal!)
thank you!

Water
L. B. Mek said:
what an ambitious poetic effort
dear cherished Poet
a totality
conceptualised and worded with
such relatable flow
on a topic so impossible to grasp
as tangible, within fingertips
that could never contain, such
a free spirited essence of existence
as water...
(it always seemed amazing to me
how in orthdox christianity
holy water, was born
when Jesus was pierced on one side
of his ribs, while on the other flowed
his blood...
if contemplated
even devoid, of any theological
importance
isn\'t that an image of life\'s, duality
we human\'s
made of 80% liquidity, as flesh
drinking our 2 litters a days
to sustain life
yet bleeding it all out, when
our Time is done...)
\'Seeping through cracks in rocks and dirt,
it filters downward to subterranean depths,
resurrecting through springs, creeks and rivers returning to be reborn from its mother\'s womb, the sea.
The immortal sea, is never, yet always, the same.\'

(If only Orpheus never looked back
his life\'s Eurydice of tears
would never have graced posterity
as his poetry of aching, ink)
just like you, my wise friend

L. B. Mek said:
\'But if I could rewrite this childhood story
I would not trade memories for a happy ending
I would live in past moments of glory
before her heart and mind left me\'
such a heart wrenching wording of loss
and resolute defiance, to remember it all
till that last hoorah of surrender
(simply brilliant, dear cherished Poet)

I can\'t quite put my finger on this, Soren (which is probably OK as I think I would get badly burnt if I did).
Its\'s a muscular piece of poetry, but more of a roar than a write.

Hey Soren - I\'ve heard of folks in some special parts of South America who imbibe something....much vomiting...but very vivid hallucinatory effects....I could be well off beam, but wasn\'t you was it?
Creeped me out just a smidgin, I would have to say, but otherwise a good read.

\"Entropy is a measure of disorder and in our universe, everything tends to move from less disorder to more over time\". Seems these days we are on a collision course with it. Sadly my friend, you pegged it right. Don\'t know if there is an antidote for it.

indeed, nothing like Earth in our nearby Galaxies
despite it all, we\'re as good as it gets
in our universe neighbourhood
so we might as well, make the best
of it all..

Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities, old mother nature\'s recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life\'

Brilliant work, dear cherished Poet
such a great reading experience:
\'Imprisoned in the primeval dark,
we search for a light, a verbal spark
At first we cry, a groan, a moan,
to let others know they\'re not alone\'
\'With a gasping, grasping, groping attempt,
to express hunger, love or contempt,
a shaping of noises is expressed
to spit out what\'s deep inside our chest\'
(crazy, we\'re both sharing work
as study of words/name
personalised etymologies
with a nod to our childhoods..)

Please stop! Headache Impending!🙂. Great stuff though. I\'m going to mine a line (the topic expressed) every time I want a cause to poeticise. Now forward to the causes poem?

The word “we” does not apply, that is an inaccurate supposition, maybe just say “I” and avoid dragging anybody else in this fictional world created only to support a false theory that those that “ vomit an unintelligible cacophony” require or deserve to solace of company. When you write something this bleak you should just burn it.

Yes - the proposition that you can\'t remember before you have language sounds completely dubious to me, Soren.
You cannot convey any of that or thoughts and feelings to others without words and the lack becomes frustrating in the extreme.
The struggle to become articulate is richly described in your poem.
