As usual, simple but enigmatic. The first couplet is a riddle, the second posits one possible answer. A keeper, KP!

I feel that in those little words you\'ve expressed the lives of soo many individuals and what they all affirm to themselves. This piece struck deep. Great job

Such conundrums to ponder my friend, I could spend the rest of the day just thinking.

L. B. Mek said:
Amen!
ahhhh what power you accumulate
in distilling your message
and wording it, so succinct
just Brilliant! dear Poet
these poem
is like an injection of fresh, seaside oxygen

to hope and maybe even dream...

Left To Right
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
\'To tempt your fate with poison bait\'
the wide gap between you and me, dear poet
is exemplified perfectly in this line, see
I would have settled for \'faith\'
in this great line and been happy with my gold nugget
while you
excavate deeper, to mine for those poetic diamonds...
(I read and learn)
thank you!

Hirudines
L. B. Mek said:
\'perspective, is a luxury
we\'re all afforded by ignorance
for each parasite
exists, due to another parasite
and is sucking
someone\'s blood, just to survive...\'
(its crazy dear Poet
often I hear friends judging
own mutual friends
and see people react violently
about the rich and the powerful
but
they
we
all forget we\'re all ants, crawling
all over mother earth\'s, patience
denouncing
the beauty and wonder of existence
while lamenting each pinch of life
and then we spit
kick and rape, nature\'s resources
while moaning about how unfair
it all is
for us...)
another thought provoking read, thanks for sharing
(btw what does the title signify)

Exit Only
L. B. Mek said:
so true! wise Poet
our words, as our wishes
manifested, in-to everyday life
when we mess them up, we lose
one more wish in life...

Deference To Rene\'
Bella Shepard said:
A wonderfully thought provoking poem. It begs the question of how much do we control, and how much are we controlled by the command center of our brain. Now I\'ll be pondering all day.

L. B. Mek said:
I\'m not sure, wise Poet
material reality, is hard enough
to fathom
before I get lost in that endless pit
of mind or matter, metaphysical
thought shackles
but
I do believe in that Confucian \'Ren\'
and even if
only that, may one day be realised
by us fallible humans
then, we\'ll all
have something to strive for...

Ode To Pandora
L. B. Mek said:
absolute Genius, what depth\'s dear Poet
Brilliant! you must be so pleased
(ahhh! if I had the time
I would outline, each line
and unfurl its depths, read aside
that beguiling title line
at least, what depths I could glimpse)
\'Ode to Pandora
-some broth you never chill\'
we\'re accustomed to warmth
and those seemingly abundant
tasty treats of life
we guile away, minutes and days
assumingly little will change
yet
in but a flash, our world is warped
dystopian
and just like, that piping hot
broth
served, just at the right temperature
to warm our very souls
yet, were we
at our tenth outing of that favourited eatery
to take it for granted and let it, seat
ignored, so ignorantly
how harshly different its taste
now, all cold and wasted
an opportunity...)
I\'m rushing but something like this
forgive me, each line
deserves, its own SA!

than the arrival or victory
so your words, spoke to me..)
