In Debt To Rene (+1)
L. B. Mek said:
we spend so much time, contemplating
and trying to conceive, the \'who\'
of \'what\' we want out of life, lost
in our choices, spoilt
while assuming the role of victim,
when in actuality
its more than likely, \'who\' we are
was evident from childhood
and we\'ve been working towards becoming and realising, that reality
all long..
but, we don\'t like
incorporating the simplicity of Nature\'s guidance
we want to make it all a journey, dwelling
on questions we\'ve long since answered
choosing to ask for ever-more, futile demonstrations
of proof, fate - hope?
\'Deeper Roots
To bloom
where you’re planted
Flower
on the sill\'..
we arrived into this world, with all the tools necessary
to achieve,
what we can conceive, enough of:
to dream...
(this is your Poetry, at its most subtly Profound
and accessibly relatable,
thanks for choosing to share, dear Poet)..
humbly, I read and learn

Cartesian Lullaby
L. B. Mek said:
\'The Present, an undivided instant\'
\'The Past, left captive\'
\'the Future escaping
—wishes deceive\'
\'motion incarnate
senses believed\'..
(forgive my rudeness, once again
my friend
but this is how, your brilliant poetry presented itself to me)
this is such a layered write, Kurt
I can imagine spending an entire afternoon just discussing its multiple concepts and angles, maybe while sharing a bottle of a crisp Bartenura Moscato among like minded friends,
sitting at an idyllic Piazza... lol
(what\'s an imagination for, if not daydreaming)
thanks for sharing

Kurt,
“Hindsight is 20/20”
Could we…?
Should we…?
Would we…?
Much to ponder upon, my dear poet.

Fault Line
Laura🌻 said:
Kurt,
•”Fault Line”
A ‘fault line’ of life will either make us better or it will make us worse. It will be disruptive and cause changes. Upheavals, especially unexpected ones, may seem unfair, but they’re not always dreadful.
•“The Last Mirage”
Diving in all the way…
‘for better or worse’…
as one of my physicians said!
I did a lot of pondering during the reading of your two intense poems. So much to think about!
Thank you for sharing.

Fault Line
L. B. Mek said:
had to read this two or three times and contemplate, why it gripped me with such intensity,
there\'s a sense of stunted despair in your lines,
like, even attempting to pretend and project a feigned sense of normality
could potentially become, that one step too far..
instead this words, seemingly represent a lifeline of rope, where
they allow us, to look at
than experience:
\'the tides of thirst,
the dam,
opened wide
—for better or worse\'..
(a deeply layered write
beautifully worded
profound poetry!
thanks for sharing, dear poet)

Above The Beyond (Something For Laura)
L. B. Mek said:
so very true
(makes sense that we originally created music, before
we ever came to conceptualise letters and words
just wish, our education system was centred on that intuitive musicality of life
more,
than that alphabet we all require, to perfectly annunciate: our creative lies...)
this read definitely hit home, thanks for sharing Kurt

So very true Kurt, music releases us from the tensions in our world.
Bohemian Rhapsody is so good, we sing it in a choir that I am in and it is always popular.

Kurt,
‘The minstrel frees the poet’s words
—and drives the feelings home’
Music and poetry are the two ultimate art forms...IMO. Your words have been freed and the feelings have been propelled beyond expectation.
Envisioning you, my dear poet, penning your special words while listening to Bohemian Rhapsody (one of my favorite musical pieces) is a gift in itself.
Thank you for your gift…
forever to be cherished.

L. B. Mek said:
what exactly is \'Bent?\'
is it curved or folded
do tips, align?
or are they skewed
by gradients of Time? or
being subjugated by a wilful, Fate..
in which case, are we
Purposely, kept
in a state of chaotic Flux
so we don\'t recognise
that\'s our reflection: we\'re endlessly, Chasing...
(you\'ve done it again Maestro
you\'ve flicked your Pen
and got me scribbling my excited reply,
I\'m just grateful you don\'t charge us for the height\'s we reach, utilising that spark of Inspiration, you Gift us)
thank you Kurt, a Great philosophical head twister you\'ve shared
