Hemorrhagia

(a write, I reread a few times
and contemplated, before I understood
the many pathways to interpretation
you strategically, invite us to investigate
what a wonderful gift, in a read
thank you, dear Poet!
and yet again - for inspiring
my little scribbled reply)..
luckily, with a bleeding heart
we feel, the pain
hear, the drip
and see, its scarlet stain of consequence
congeal, with fervent zeal...
but sadly, with that other life force
we take for granted
because measurements and sensory logic
can\'t equate its tangible characteristics
and people like Duncan MacDougall
are discredited, for theorising the unthinkable..
and yet: how many times in any given day
in Every known and forgotten language
do we contemplate, Love?
Exactly, how do we go about
assigning value
to how much of it, we bleed?
and, how much we lose
reciprocating/investing - it, willingly?
and thereby, accepting
we do not love: Expecting
anything!
when we can conceptualise, that reality
then we can begin, to feign
some understanding of Love\'s, true nature
of selfish-Selflessness...

Kurt,

Lies, lies, liesā€¦
misleadingā€¦
deceivingā€¦
maligningā€¦

A hopeless love that may be
rekindled one day.

A Powerful write my dear poet!

Youā€™re most welcome.
Your ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™ are always inspirational for me. I love them. I read them over and over and constantly think about them. At times I overthink what I readā€¦which is fine for my self being.

Iā€™m forever in your debt, my dear poet.šŸŒ»

Annuntiatio (+1)
L. B. Mek said:

\'Blood stains in my memory,
clotting in my heart

Arteries of pain and loss
ā€”hemorrhaging the dark:

Bleeding out\'
\'I stumbled through each morning,\'
\'old promises unsworn\'
\'of all that passed away\'
\'Dissolute and scorning,\'
\'\'Wandering and faint of heart,\'

\'Living once then living twice
ā€”the moment was reborn\'
*\'annuntio vobis:
astra inclinant sed non obligant\'*
\'Annuntiatio: *of our Spero Spera* ..
(once more, dear poet
I have rudely and as ever, selfishly
gone and rearranged your beautiful Poetry
all I can do is just hope you can forgive
my overzealous foolishness
and see it, as my feeble celebration
of your endlessly inspirational: Poetic Mastery)

Yes, every moment is reborn as we live one then live twice. Your poems are so full of practical living, I just have to read them twice and perhaps thrice.

Twilight Passes
L. B. Mek said:

\'Night often falls
with the matter unsettled

The pudding unstirred
ā€”as choices recant\'..
replaying scenes, between
stifled progression\'s: screams

witnessing twilight bookend\'s
as a passing, of a day\'s fears..
(sorry dear Poet, I couldn\'t resist
but try to feebly answer/reply
to yet another
of your thought provoking poems)

Very nice! I especially like first one, very good imagery there. If I could see voices, it would probably look something like that.

Hell\'s Pathway (+1)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Two great writes which I enjoyed reading.

ā€¢ ā€œHellā€™s Pathwayā€
Are we blaming the night for not seeing the daylight?

ā€¢ ā€œFree Birdā€
My dear writer,
After rereading ā€œIn Search of Crazy Horseā€ these past few days, Iā€™ve secured my strong belief that you are the gatekeeper ā€˜to the pastā€™ and the prophet ā€˜of tomorrowā€™.

Good Intentions
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œPromises remain where you leave themā€ā€¦

ā€”hopefully unintentionallyā€”

ā€¢ the heart will progressively decayā€¦

ā€”if we allow it toā€”

Your two written lines are very thought provokingā€¦as I experience in most of Dreamsleep writes.
