(we make-up, our make belief
fantasies
then lament, how they dissociate
us, from reality
only answering
the how and why, of it all
reactively, in retrospective futility...)
another thought provoking read, dear Poet
thank you!

Inception
L. B. Mek said:
\'The weight uprooted
a seedless fruit\'
(that\'s that knockout capacity
of a poetic, left hook)
thank you!

Ancient Promises

Brilliant!

way before we could spell, binary...)

Great write, great rhythm. Detachment seems to be in the air these days, and, as always, poets are the guage.

Siren\'s Mirage
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
thank you, dear Poet
for once again inspiring my little scribble:
(clock\'s move back n forth, GMT
yet we\'re left trailing tomorrow\'s
too invested in yesterday\'s mirages
and existence\'s - mean, defined
in circumstances delivered to us
by causality\'s, deficiencies
and in each misinterpreted, moment
we ask if redemption, begins
with us or happenstance)

Dear poet, the questions you ask of 70 years are so very potent, and relatable. For in my 73rd year I ask this of myself almost every day. Each time I can answer myself honestly, I feel I have grown just a little more, and that growth never ends.

Your first stanza! How do we mere mortals navigate this amazing puzzle of life? Can we even know what questions to ask? A grand, thought provoking poem.

Wishes On Fire
L. B. Mek said:
how I missed your Genius, wise Poet
those two first verses, can be unfurled to help us glean
some of the disquieting truths in humanity\'s nature:
\'Deep into the consciousness
of those unlearned
Nothing grows more deadly
than the force of will\'
(in a Time when what is claimed as New
is often what generations before Knew
ergo, our modernity
is but an aesthetic ideal of cyclical regression
so as to grasp archaic wisdom\'s smoke signals
now transferred to digital screens, pages being flicked through with our nose tips
after mere glances...
see
we built the Museums, but forgot to accrue the knowledge
and ain\'t that just typical of us
\'oh humanity, how much potential
we waste
in each neglected generation we sacrifice
assuming, ease of life is what matters most\'

Oh boy, two in one! And quite different in tone, to each other. I guess 1 post in 24 hrs could bring that about.
