Hollow Grams

Kurt,

ā€˜a lens that wonā€™t focus
ā€”an image beguiledā€™

What will it take to focus that lens?!

A very interesting and intriguing poem. Had to read it a few times. It really made me thinkā€¦and thatā€™s a good think.

Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

Through The Doorway I Was Shown
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

A great read of an awesome poem.

I believe you grabbed life by the hornsā€¦

ā€˜But a key was thrown out to me,
unlocking things Iā€™ve yet to know
Of a still uncertain future,
through the doorway I was shownā€™
ā€¦and
ā€œWhatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.ā€ (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

I believe that you ā€œNever let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.ā€ ( Babe Ruth)

Loved reading this great poem and challenged myself to delve into the wholeness/message of the poem.

Aloneliness
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

I love this writing for obvious reasons. You made me aware of your muse a while ago, but this is the first time I met her in a poem; therefore, I consider this the official introduction.

Many times I crave solitude. I crave that oneness with my thoughts to feel at peace.

ā€˜Aloneliness,
most trusted friend
you that I count on
there till the endā€™

Iā€™ll definitely be there till the end and hopefully vice versa.

Thank you šŸ™šŸ» šŸ¤—

New Memories Rehearse
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€˜Words mate in the fog
as the letters reverseā€™

ā€˜Sleep only forgiven
as new memories rehearseā€™

What great couplets!
Youā€™re an amazing poet, my dear friend.

Your Soul To Repast
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€˜But truth has no time limit
No ticket to claim
One choice will release itā€™

So trueā€¦
we have the power
and the choice.

In The Darkness And Alone

Kurt,

ā€˜Is part of me still orphaned there,
ā€”in darkness and aloneā€™

I have a suspicion it might be!

Kurt,

Weā€™re not that old yet! Letā€™s continue the fight till the light has been completely extinguished.

Set In Stone
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

One of my Dadā€™s favorite proverbsā€¦
ā€˜ā€¦il lupo perde il pelo ma non il vizioā€¦ā€™
(the wolf loses its fur but not its vice)

ā€˜ The flyā€™s in the ointment,
the die has been castā€™

Itā€™s so difficult to change those feelings. I will forgive; but itā€™s so hard to forgetā€¦no matter how many years have gone by.

I love the way you wrote this, my dear prolific Poet.

Thank you for sharing.

The Tragic Cost...
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Thank you for remembering some of the best in this memorable poem. I donā€™t know much about Harry Nilsson, but I will definitely do some research and educate myself. Your written work certainly lends itself to that.

P.S.- Just learned the sad news about the passing of Meatloaf and Louie Anderson. I became a fan of Meatloaf a few years ago.
