Motion Transformed
L. B. Mek said:
\'beyond the five\'
we\'re at six now, and counting/discovering
(how nose-tips to mobile screens
while outside bumping shoulder and cars
can be a thing and not cause
the massacre of idiocy
we all \'feared\' it may...
just behind the ears, apparently)
lol
\'Stealing us inward
past seasons respite
Memory delivers
what stimulus feigns\'
beautiful lines, a call to arms
for us
who are sleep walking through life
a great read, dear Poet

Hiding In Plain Sight
L. B. Mek said:
enjoyed how you dipped into so many cultures
with each brushstroke of your vivid poetry\'s bold notes
but I think the line
\'Born in chains climbing though the moss\'
will linger longest, for me..
as-ever, such an impressive write
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Endless String
L. B. Mek said:
In 1983, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen met in Paris
(oh to have been a gadfly in that hallowed room
I bet Socrates himself would have loved to attend)
Happy New Year, dear cherished Poet

I relate strongly to this poem. Being in the latter stage of life, I feel I\'m living what you have written so eloquently.

A Donde Va
L. B. Mek said:
to that sameplace, it stemmed from
originally
that space of patience, awaiting
our next generation of genius
to shake
our world loose of cobwebbed indifference;
Bukowski wrote
\'I walk on and wonder, where
the living goes
when it stops\'
in that self-searching poem
a mirror to your theme, I think..
a great searching write, dear Poet
so relatable

Cat Stevens Was Right
L. B. Mek said:
I\'d never heard of cat stevens before
but your words resonate with me
since, we\'re all striving to ink words
at a time
when all people want to consume as distractions
are cartoonish, memes..
yet
still, we endeavour to word a line
a phrase, a write
that will cut through
the accumulated debris, upon people\'s awareness
and awaken, their capacity
to think
and allow themselves the opportunity
to exist as individuals...
(a great shorty Kurt)

(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
L. B. Mek said:
(\'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

(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

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)
