Being fooled or deceived is what may lead one down the wrong road. Deception the devil\'s tool. Good read

Human Intimacy

Resisting temptation is so rewarding and fulfilling. Every time I resist I feel so glad the following days. This world\'s relentless and predatory gnawing eats away at soundness of mind.

A vivid write about the importance of speach. Sometimes you have to tell a person something they dont want to hear. Nice ✍️.

The Priest
Cheeky Missy said:
The invocation must of sheer necessity stir countless, yet what you intended is blurred by your curious author\'s note. While the Scriptures were fulfilled, deceivers have subtly raised an ancient religion to the fore and the blind masses render allegiance. Who was given remains a virtual mystery by decree, leaving fewer enlightened than not. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. [If the Mennonites teach the doctrine given in your lines, they are further from the truth than I realized.]

It is the beat of the meter in this poem that reproduces the pendulum and that tic tock that images the clock where time always moves on in a measured way. Nicely done

There\'s a rough rhythm which causes this to waltz in a rather choppy fashion, yet waltzing none the less. Charming. With a touch of imagery for taste and weightiness, there\'s a haunting sense of sheer poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

This poem feels strained with feeling, the desperation reaches at me through the screen. I hope you can be at peace with your feelings, Mr. Wilhelm.

I recognize a glint of the familiar in this poem of man in the place of a well known savior in conversation in a certain garden long ago. I love the parallel and the substituted imagery that sends its message of difference and man\'s weakness. May be on the wrong track with this one but that is what came through to me. A fave

Called to the Laurels
Phocas The Gardener said:
Wow, it is such an interesting perspective to see suffering portrayed as a friend, as that is the way to draw closer to the Lord. A knife ending our attachment to this world, while attaching us to the Divine. Well done!

I took this two ways, someone afraid of being harmed and someone on the make looking for an affair. Tue dual meaning of lap as once more around the track and also someone\'s lap make this work well. A fun and most clever write.

Dang! I seriously begin to wonder both whether we\'ve similar professions, and after that, how many in my profession are in this genre and on this site. Lovely and prettily rendered with rather exceptional imagery, though it seems simple, with a charming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The condition of this genre by now is so debauched you\'d be hard pressed to pull off the trick of \"bad\" poetry. Delightfully rendered with a happy sense of fun and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
