The Moment Returns
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œThe Moment Returnsā€
ā€¢ ā€œLeaving With The Sunā€
ā€¢ ā€œGuardian Ageā€
ā€¢ ā€œHeaven\'s Gateā€

Iā€™ve enjoyed reading your Dreamsleeps.

Is it the subconscious getting messages throughā€¦the unpacking of what is happening at a deep inner and as yet unconscious level?

Upon continuing your journey, youā€™ll be leaving a little bit more of YOU in those majestic mountains and valleys.

Godspeed my dear poet.

The Moment Returns
L. B. Mek said:

oh to be wild and free, galloping carelessly
oh why did I have to stub my toe, trying to act all carefree
if only
there was a middle ground of temperate acceptance
we could excavate from within and help, curate
a small sense of serenity, in our everyday reality...
\'Tomorrow in the barn,
A horse running free\'...
Amen!
(profound wisdom
worded so accessibly poetic
thank you Kurt)

Leaving With The Sun
L. B. Mek said:

\'tickets for an escape shelter
in the middle of a deserted, cloud
wings spread wide, son by my side
and I warn him endlessly, knowing
he\'s tired of my voice
\'not too, high
nor too low
keep your dreams, sailing
in that middle, where
you\'ll find safety, hiding
in amongst, the majority herd\'...
as Aurora, opens the gates
I check our wax layers
one last fateful, time!\'
(what can I say my friend
your brilliance has inspired me again
actually your write, originally took me
to Tracy Chapman\'s song \'Fast Car\')
\'You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we\'ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won\'t have to drive too far
Just \'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living\'

\'as memory protects
ā€”myself to belong\'..
this is so true
loved the wording!
thanks for sharing Kurt
helped to coalesce a lot of loose thoughts
I have been having lately, on a similar theme

Breathing Room
L. B. Mek said:

really liked the first one
sometimes I read my scribbles
and all I see, is all that they hide...
(\'Living\', a Great silence)

Again, Iā€™m honored.

Thank you.

A Blacker Black (+1)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œThe Blacker Blackā€
Are we brave enough to answer the call?
ā€¢ ā€œBefore The Beginningā€
The journey that began
as a dream continues its magnetic pull to where one is destined to be.

In reading your penned words, Iā€™m so fascinated by their powerful pull/effect theyā€™ve had upon yours truly. An incredible experience.

Thank you.

L. B. Mek said:

I drink heartily from your fountain of wisdom
dear Poet,
grateful for each sip that allows me, more clarity...
\'Youā€™re supposed, to be
what your nature
portends,
and not, what convention
proscribes!\'

Coming Together
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

An interesting and intriguing poem which I enjoyed reading and inspired me to give a lot of thought to the followingā€¦
ā€¢getting to know ā€˜the peopleā€™ I donā€™tā€¦
why not?
ā€¢feeling ā€˜the thingsā€™ that I canā€™tā€¦
why not?
ā€¢be not what your nature foretellsā€¦
why not?
ā€¢be what convention forbidsā€¦
why not?
ā€¢ā€˜love without borders or fearā€™ā€¦
why not?

All daring and tempting,
I fearlessly say.

Kurt,

Unlimited verses concealing
ā€˜the moments most preciousā€™ā€¦
ā€¦ ā€˜tis our truth to reveal.
Should we or shouldnā€™t we? Hmmā€¦
Our decision to make.

Thank you for sharing this thought provoking ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™.

Between The Lines (+2)
L. B. Mek said:

agree with you on so many levels
admittedly, we are creatures of instinct
even after much consideration
we mostly work our way back, to rely
on our first impressions..
I think Might/Power, in and of itself
can never be vilified, so acquiring it
is essential, its just
how we choose to utilise it, that defines
whether we\'re branded heroes or villains..
(such an intriguing read
thanks for sharing Kurt)

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Thereā€™s so much weaving and unweaving to unravel ā€œBetween The Lines (+2)ā€ā€¦
a welcomed challenge.

Just Passing Through...
Kurt Philip Behm said:

The American West is being overrun by transplants from both coasts. They\'re
trying to dictate their misguided political views on people that have ranched and
farmed there for generations.

I\'m no threat. I just want to borrow their roads (view) for a while.

Thanks

Kurt

Just Passing Through...
L. B. Mek said:

sadly, a lot of this I can\'t relate to
but its poetry, makes me yearn to..
thanks for sharing
(sorry couldn\'t unfurl the colloquialisms
my friend) my loss, of that I\'m certain

\"And The Word Was Made Flesh...\"
L. B. Mek said:

If we be made Perfect, in His image
then pray tell
why do we seek Wisdom, from outside
ourselves?
and if Religion is what equates to God\'s love
then pray tell
why do their crimes, taint our rivers crimson!
and if we must suffer
by other\'s interpretations of dogma
then tell me, why do we not pray
for them to be judged, quickly
and rid us all, of their malignant fallacies
so we may be finally free
to Question, flesh of our own fallibility
armed with Veracity\'s: holiness...
(a thought provoking wording
of pregnant brevity, Kurt
thank you for inspiring
my little scribbled reply)

Will & Grace
L. B. Mek said:

\'ā€”or ever let a sunrise become old\'
what a great line
and I liked the horse trot, beat
to \'The way west\'..
such a meaningfully fun imagining
of that spirited wild west, heritage
(or maybe I\'m mistaken in my interpretation)
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

Well written, Kurt.
I resemble the first poem. Produces a lot of heart break, but I have no regrets.
