When you bring us a \"longer\" poem like this, the density of your language and your use of words and phrases as building bocks and strategic pieces on the chessboard remind me more and more of the poetry of Melville, for which he is not well known but should be. This poem of yours brought to mind this: https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-19013

Dear Kurt,
What a great loss!
\"The Girl From Ipanema\" was recorded by many, but no one sang it like Astrud Gilberto.
A touching tribute for the one youāre remembering and are holding on to the very special memoriesā¦
ā¦memories by the sixteen year old whose
āeyes can still close
and return to that beachā
where his āheart she first captured
āand never releasedā.

Moment After Moment
āMemories of the futureā : it has been said that the poet is also a prophet. Thus, the poet naturally wants to look ahead and try to detect what awaits us.
āIn the \"Defence\" he insists that the poet \"not only beholds intensely the present as it is, and discovers those laws according to which the present ought to be ordered, but he beholds the future in the present.\" The poet is prophet and legislator, in Shelley\'s terms, by his untiring efforts \"to set the crooked straight.\" (ā¦..)ā

On the poem āSo close ā so farā by K. P Behm
Refer to the song :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Near_and_yet_So_Far
You have mentioned specific parts of human life : ambitions, reality, palate, taste buds, vocation, reality, future. It is a compact, cryptic poem. Soman Ragavan. 23 May, 2023. //

Vagrant Moments
L. B. Mek said:
A great write, dear Poet
thanks for inspiring this feeble poetic reply:
(to look back, to witness fact
thus
stay in foreshadowing\'s reprieve
assimilate, horizon within mirage
accumulate, surrealism\'s escape
and delay
reality\'s unwanted slap
of awareness, with it\'s jarring
effect
warping, that we want to treasure
most...)

Each line had strong individual message but they werenāt woven, werenāt in or out of any sequence , patterned or chaotic and I hoped for an even elusive attachment before the last line arrived.
