An abode for transients is lamented whether due to lack of permanent ties or feelings of loss still seen as a curse. Well written

There is a feel of dryness to this poem as a pressed flower now a memory no longer living just a fragment of the past between pages of time never to be read again. It seems frozen and a bit sad. A fave for the parallels in this metaphor and the feeling evoked

Sad, heavy but real images in this one. I feel the pain. Well done!

This poem is painful in its doubt and fear and one thing is clear that one needs another. Nicely written

Wonderfully expressed. At times, living is like death, and the only escape from it is… well, actual death. Great work

In hearing this it makes me think that some people take their enjoyment vicariously and that is why so many like movies and books where lives can be lived through another. Nice poem Alan

This poem melds reality with fantasy forging an new metal. Nicely crafted as an alloy

God
sorenbarrett said:
Deeply philosophical it becomes practical in its implementation. A poem of reflection speaking to human nature and a broader definition of worship. There are reasons that men made their idols of gold. Well written and a fave

High road
Thomas W Case said:
Cold, hard truth wrapped in patience and pain—walking alone doesn’t make you noble, just heavier.
The higher road can be a trap; sometimes survival is knowing when to step off.

Led on to beyond our capability by the wiles of those less capable. How many athletes, movie stars, artists have taken this high road and ended up paralyzed, broken and forgotten. Well written

The intent of this poem remains cryptic to the end. The numbness yes the being held despite the being held. Then comes the end of letting it take you for peace and good. Is it the forgiveness that will take over or is it something darker. Being left in doubt gives this poem power. Nicely done

Gut
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting write of the mental vs the physical. And don\'t be too sure that the gut goes unarmed, it seems at times to have nuclear power

Warm
Thomas W Case said:
Warmth sticks to these lines like smoke in a dim room—intimate and unafraid.
You let the city fade behind you, and in that hush, the poem becomes the only music that matters.
