Kurt,

I’m so glad to have read this great write! Your words have helped me realize the meaning of what I’ve felt for a while.

You are a master of the abstract. Broad simple strokes, ideas, concepts, and generalities, few descriptions, objects, people, or actions. Very philosophical yet poetic. You are unique.

The Last Barrel (+1)
L. B. Mek said:
I\'m not swimming within blinking eyes
of unshed tears, as I type these words...
no really, its just so breezy in-doors during summer
with my windows, tightly closed...
ahem!
(love, that mellow melancholic, feel
you\'ve weaved within insightfully, loud
searchingly: incandescent Poetry!)
beautiful, truly..
thanks for sharing dear Poet
\'in the tannin
of what remains\'
\'as each days number
declines\'
\'in the sweetness
of time now past\'
\'The vines
to wither\'
\'Rich
Like wine,
Ripe\'
\'—in memory lost\'

The Julian Calendar
orchidee said:
I dunno what day it is. I\'m still using the Julian calendar. 12 days ahead - or is 12 before?!
I never knew what day it is anyway, half the time. lol.

Grand Theft Glory
L. B. Mek said:
I just finished typing a reply
to you about \'the sun also rises\' by hemingway..
and every syllable of what you\'ve penned in this poem
could fit seamlessly into that book
even as a stand alone scene..
what a versatile and unique talent you choose to share, dear poet
cant ever thank you enough

Horns Of The Bull
Kurt Philip Behm said:
In Hemingway\'s \'Death In The Afternoon\' he talks about too much honor being
deadly and the \'crossroad\' a Bullfighter must face.

that corrosive impunity of entitlement\'s, featherweight honor
amongst the abundance of killer-intent: intrepidity
where perdition\'s zeal: as ever, Reigns sinisterly - Supreme...

Blood Oath
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Thanks LB. I was inspired by the loyalty shown to such as Mafia Dons, Gang Leaders and even Politicians. Shakespeare was best at this. As always, thanks so much.

Blood Oath
L. B. Mek said:
thought provoking, as ever!
I\'m not sure if its by design
(knowing your track record, I believe it is)
but that line:
\'rules amidst chaos\'
makes one, immediately think of
\'(Ruler\'s) amidst chaos\'
and that completely adds new insight\'s to your wordplay
of Blood Oath, within
\'honor amongst thieves\'..
it really reads, as a such a bleak snapshot
of what we majority assume as the worst
of humanity, while Wilfully ignoring
our very fingerprints
on those shackles we allow to \'adorn\' our depiction
of victimhood worshipping, self-deluding: lives...
(I\'ll stop here, or else this will turn
into another SA length, futile ramble) lol

The Rudest Awakening
L. B. Mek said:
forgive my rudeness, dear poet
but let me just frankly state: You\'re F\'in: Awesome!
\'Breathless and timeless
betwixt and between
the living go on
all energy gone\'
\'The dead left to wander
—the end of the dream,
Finality’s heartbreak
The Rudest: Awakening\'..
Amen!
(I\'m sorry for rudely rearranging your lines, my friend
as usual I can only beg you to forgive
my indulgent - overzealous nature: \'personally, I blame it
on the quality of your ever-Insightful, Poetry)

Blind Indirection
L. B. Mek said:
Often, I feel
if it wasn\'t in our nature
to be so stubbornly contrary, as a mark
of futile defiance and innate duality..
we could have found
our most rewarding way of life
by merging the middle ground sanity
of Stoic acceptance and resolve
with that originally unindulgent ideology
of Epicureanism\'s, unassuming humility
to find enough in those simple pleasures
of a well managed, temperate life
attentively tuned to our natural needs and desires..
what more could we want for, truly?

\'Days go forward,
nights in reverse\'
that retrograde certainty
of our cyclical fates
we ignore daily: Defiantly!

Nowhere To Hide (+1)
L. B. Mek said:
\'Time but a mask,
delusion concealed
The cover pulled back
—more truth to reveal\'
\'Cutting Both Ways
Trying to defend
All life on the edge\'
unassuming Wisdom, in all its Poetic majesty...
thanks for choosing to share dear Poet
(forgive me for rearranging your lines, yet again
I meant no disrespect by doing so
just wanted to highlight for others, the Message
that helped lessen: my own ignorance)
