Going Home
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt.

ā€¢ ā€œGoing Homeā€ is
hitting home.
Certainly not welcoming death at this time, but I do like these scripted words,
ā€˜but befriending its shadow
whose blanket I wear
in this carrying windā€™

I can almost feel the warmth of that ā€˜blanketā€™.

Thank you for having masterfully scripted a poem thatā€™s so relatable. Something that only a master of the art can do.

Riptide
L. B. Mek said:

\'Riptide: of life...\'
just a beautifully worded song
of life\'s
Sea of majesty and poetic demise..
(Let us, ride high then
upon those waves, of fate
and seek our shelters
in those hillside\'s, of sand
for as long
as they gift us, that most
perishable of virtues:
Time...)
a lovely read, and thank you
for inspiring my little, scribbled reply

Lost To Love (+1)
Vamsi Sudha said:

Nice write poet !! this paragraph is interesting

Your memory found me wordless,
too mute to carry on
Trapped between old verbs and nouns,
silence for a song

L. B. Mek said:

\'You can burn a book,
but never burn its truth
The flames sear the meaning,
tattooed at the root\'
what is Truth?
is it in that Bonnie and Clyde
zest for living, every breath
of life\'s seconds
and flaming-out, early
but
illuminatingly: Bright..
or
a warped zeal, for control
that made priests, torture thinkers
assuring themselves
if they burn every book and stifle every idea
the world would remain, stagnant
and those favourable
\'status quo\'s\'
stay, forever in place
and it will be the Sun
circling
their Wilful, ignorance...
(just another great write Kurt
had to re-read a few times
to find my grasp of it
thank you!)

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œBringing Up The Rearā€

A very interesting poem with some intriguing phrases for the readerā€™s delight to interpret. One of my favoritesā€¦

ā€˜ riding shotgun through my mindā€™

Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

P.S.ā€”[Sorry for the delayed comment on this one. Just saw it and read it while Iā€™m on my way traveling to todayā€™s adventureā€¦onto MSK.]

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œLost To Loveā€ ā€¦indeed!

ā€˜With love a distant haunting,
we mime a tragic vow
What once we hadā€¦ the good, the bad
ā€”this quietude aboundsā€™

These words are so telling and resonating. Iā€™m hoping this abounding ā€˜quietudeā€™ brings us a sense of calmness and minimal mental stress.

Thank you for sharing this relatable ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™, my dear Poet.

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œBeyond The Flamesā€
This is exactly how I envision your writings and any anecdotes you deem to share with this fan and avid reader of all your work.

ā€˜Escaping with the Muse in toe
ā€”a fugitive decriedā€™
Hmmā€¦Iā€™m wondering šŸ’­ which ā€˜Muse in toeā€™? Just curious! šŸ§

Rod Serling Remembered

Came across an old Twilight Zone on cable and it took me back to the early 60\'s.

Puzzlingā€¦isnā€™t it?!

Your Dreamsleep is intriguing and itā€™s providing much ā€˜food for thoughtā€™.

Rod Serling Remembered
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

I like the title. Rod Serlingā€™s interests and art has always intrigued me.
An interesting read. The poem reminds me of Serlingā€™s ā€œPicture Galleryā€ which I was lucky enough to view a while ago. I will also binge watch, from time to time, ā€œThe Twilight Zoneā€.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtsā€¦always welcomed and appreciated.

When Time Stopped (+1)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œWhen Time Stoppedā€
A powerhouse of a poem.

ā€˜like a pilot fish to a whale
Swimming through the current of times gone by,ā€™

A great metaphor that enhanced my read(s).
I read this a few times today. The more I read it, the more I was fascinated by your scripted words.

ā€¢ ā€˜ ā€œThou Shalt Not Covetā€¦ā€™ ā€
An exceptional poem with an outstanding endingā€¦
ā€˜The Presence
as given
ā€”freely enduresā€™

Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

Jail Break (+1)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Love your Dreamsleeps. Great reads. One of my favorite lines in
ā€¢ā€˜ā€™Jail Breakā€™ā€™ā€¦
ā€˜ā€”released to scale the wallā€™

ā€¢ ā€œGypsy Windā€
Yes indeed,
the ā€˜middle much harderā€™
and forever
ā€˜married to hopeā€™
with no chance of divorceā€¦together and committed
ā€˜Till Death Do Us Partā€™.

Thank you for sharing.

Aarghā€¦another book!

It is an intriguing thought though.

ā€˜Searching For Crazy Horseā€™ is about my 40+ years motorcycle touring the American West.

Thanks LB

\'Each day a stalking,
your tracks to betray you,\'
great lines
(but my favourite thing
on this page
is your comment conversation
those memories and close proximity
contextualised content, may be enough
for a short, whimsical book
of memory lane, revisits
I know I would love to read it
if that genius
poetic mind of yours
ever wanted, to write it)

Ray\'s right. The movie left me feeling the same way...

Unfortunately, Val Kilmer is a little too young to really
remember what it was like, but Stone should have known
better.
