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

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.

It is in the bloom that beauty is shown emerging from bud and going to seed. Beauty to attract for pollination and reproduction. Very nice

To be used for another\'s benefit and told that it is for your own good is a twisted manipulation that if one buys into leaves one normal in a psychotic world and psychotic in a normal world. A very mind provoking work

We ask for love but do we give it? Is it like money something that we grudgingly pay out for something in return? Well written

A lovely write that speaks the truth in most of us but is the recognition of love within that will free one.

The only Graz that I am aware of is in Austria. Here the linkage stops an enigmatic poem where the mind turns.
