After Hours (+2)
L. B. Mek said:
forgive me for rearraigning your wonderful works my friend, just my overzealous nature plying-up, yet again (I sincerely apologise if you take any offense to me doing-so):
\'If just one person understands,
if just one troubled soul
In the darkness
it came,
no more searching in the light
Quixotic by decree
—windmills turning free
The effort and the pain involved
—small price to make them whole\'

that tiger\'s hour, where we of creativity
gather under that gaze of moonlit insomnia
to pen our insight\'s and question
our very ability to see: what\'s right...

The Human Beings

Hunting what others fear takes some fortitude. I don\'t know if you meant it consciously, but your last line reads and is punctuated like the title of the piece. Like and unexpected key to the riddle above, or a poem upside down. Wait, nothing you do is not carefully crafted. Of course you knew exactly what you were doing. Thanks!

Thanks LB. It took over me last night. I could have kept
going for pages. One of my books is a 175 page lyric poem
\'titled \'After Midnight.\'

Brilliant!
firstly thanks for bringing \'virulent\' to my lacking database, such a flexible word, a diamond of a gift for a wannabe scribbler like me..
and \'some things don\'t need explaining\' is for me, nostalgia: in a poem
and a treasure of a read, one - I shall revisit time n again

L. B. Mek said:
\'Fortune concealing veins of discovery
long covered and unknown
Ink running free as the shaft leads inward
—anticipation karat pure\'..
a wonderful read, flowing effortlessly
though not only from line to line but synergistically, from poem to poem
\'karat pure\', indeed

Tomorrow\'s Masquerade
L. B. Mek said:
\'Mirages fade with pretense lost,
things never what they seem
A future darkness redefined,
the past still yet to know\'..
\'we are not! our mirage of despairing thoughts
we are: those thought\'s, we act upon
for when we act, we but give choice a voice
but if we rush - to act, we need not have began
for who are we but our misunderstandings, overcome...\'
your words have inspired some of the better lines I have penned recently, and I for one am so grateful that you continue to share dear poet,

\'It stands in the desert

to flower in protest
—its nature avowed\'..
I just cherish you love of words, by pointedly choosing \'avow\'
you gift us readers so much opportunity for interpretation
and ultimately, what greater gift can a Poet: ink

L. B. Mek said:
yeah, I too am not so sure about that whole \'I think, therefore...\'
a flawed or incomplete concept, at best
\'I speak\' has a much greater sense of self-empowering accountability
for who are we
but those words
we choose: to voice
or ink in verse..
yet another thought provoking write dear Poet

Song Of Espousal (+1)
L. B. Mek said:
I\'ll lean on the genius of Gertrude Stein to express my reaction to your write today, since my words fail me,
(for context, I\'m referring to modernity\'s gradual disenchantment with the \'supposedly\' archaic principals of betrothal):
\' The cannot.
A note.
They cannot
A float.
They cannot.
They dote.
They cannot.
They as denote.
Miracles play.
Play fairly.
Play fairly well.
A well.
As well.
As or as presently.
Let me recite what history teaches. History teaches.\'

\'The Poetry Channel, when open

that \'calling\' we titled Poetry
distilled so acutely, by a Poet

\'Taking stock while looking back
through scarlet colored glass
the vision false, the judgment worse
its memory to outlast
Forming all opinion
by what is wrapped or clad
deception in the present sense
the view less good than bad
Stepping back while looking in
my eyes take off their shield
to see much deeper than before
—my prejudice to yield\'..
insightful lines of surgical commentary, inked so depressingly \'matter of fact\'..
kinda crazy, modernity\'s addiction to blind-progression
\'in the minute we take
to reflect and collect
our thought\'s:
they\'ve gone and moved their goalpost\'s, offside
yet again...\'

Hi Kurt, re Et Tu Democracy: So well written (as usual). Is this just a poem, or how you feel, or a tongue in cheek message to the democrats?

Thanks so much...
Either looking back or looking forward that was the best time
of my life, filled with the security of hope, fueled by the magic
of love.

heartachingly breath-taking, such a harrowing read dear poet..
a juxtaposition of ideal\'s:
of fervent youth embracing all, not knowing there\'s better to hope for..
and adulthood\'s depressingly cynical stranglehold
of all that good we harbour within,
in this bleak reality of circumstanced consequence to the narrow possibilities within what remnant hope: we have left, in our lives..
whether fictitious or biographical, a brave write of insightful cogitation when lost within clouds of reverie\'s meditation
