Here & There

(stilled indifference
to our awaited, past
lamenting our horizons
blinking back our regrets
we merely awake
to our shadow\'s realisations
and award it the title of daybreak
staring wide, in that stillness
of our life\'s restless nights...)
let me take this opportunity
to thank you for all the beautiful poetry
you\'ve shared this calendar year, dear treasured Poet
and cherished poetic kin
I wish you and your loved ones
an enriching and peaceful
festive season
stay safe, hope you have a great end of year!!!

Glass House

(\'David\'s thrown stone\'
a prerequisite necessity
in everyone\'s story;
that we need it, hear of it
but know
we will never, witness it
is that true tragedy
even Shakespeare, failed
to capture even in his
overwhelming, legacy...)
so insightful
thank you! dear cherished Poet

Full Circle

(mistake #.5\'s
hoping, hope
will be enough)
Bukowski said it best, dear Poet:
\'“The crowd is the gathering place of the weakest; true creation is a solitary act.”
(and oft
a lonesome, fate)

Within The Silence
L. B. Mek said:
aye, dear Poet kin
how world weary, wise
indeed, may it always be
endings
with clinking Chardonnay\'s
and shared words or silences
between heart\'s, that have long learnt
to beat to a steady rhythm
even devoid of fluttering hope
to pulse, easy
knowing
be it in our years of hurried striving
or stagnated, waiting
life is coming to us steadily, we merely
need to ride the waves of Time
and promise ourselves
we\'ve done enough, in that very act
of accumulating, our very next breath
all else, is chaos entwined
fate
and very much, out of our hands...
very much

Donde Van Ellas
L. B. Mek said:
back to where they began, hopefully
back in the que
where they may be allowed, to try
one more time
to do it right or at the very least, give it
one bloody good go
empowered by all the wisdom of hurt
they\'ve been forcedly
made, to accumulate
in the name of fate...
(there\'s such a relatable tone
to your questing words, dear Poet)

(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

\'The weight uprooted
a seedless fruit\'

of a poetic, left hook)
thank you!

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.
