With Her Love (+13)

Kurt,

• “With Her Love”

She IS demanding...
...isn’t she?!

However...
Her exigent demands
will never take a toll
on your poetic pen!

• “As You Fly”

Joyous tears have filled my eyes anew...
To my own self I shall be true...
And as your student...
I shall remain true!

Living Beyond
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I thoroughly enjoyed all three brilliant poems!

• “Living Beyond”
So very happy you were
‘Reborn a poet
and then set free’
to write all that you do and globally share your talents that will
‘live beyond wealth
—and majesty’

• “The Fountain”
Brilliantly penned as your muse wanted...I am certain!
‘If the pain is too great,
my heart you may take
—as I suture you back
from the brink’
Wow! I absolutely love this stanza!!

• “What Darkness Brings”
As I was reading this beautiful poem, it reminded me of the night my father died...
‘The sun has now left
with my hopes not bereft

Only the night
—points to heaven above’

This one I shall read to my mom. It will make her smile!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful poems!

My Will On Fire (+3)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

• “My Will On Fire”

“Each time when it almost mattered,
It mattered not that much”

Unfortunately, to my detriment, to me it always matters! It’s hard to distance myself! When I have to do so, the pain is always there! I try to justify it...but it never goes away! I tend to compartmentalize!

A lot to think about...
A lot to ponder upon...
Thanks to your poetry...
It shall be done!

An Orphan\'s Silence (+9)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Exceptional writes...as always!

The first and the last have affected me the most because of this weekend’s sad news...the passing of a friend! Hadn’t seen her for two years. We kept in touch via phone conversations and postcards. She never hinted to the fact that she was dying with ovarian cancer. She was the kind of person that wouldn’t share her pain so that we wouldn’t suffer along with her! She dealt with it all alone. She’s gone at age 59! No more suffering for her! That’s the good part.
The bad part...
I wasn’t there to see her one more time!

All individually good and unique, the first being my favorite. May I ask when you included three poems in one though?

The Wages Of Sin (+4)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

• “Cream Always Rises”
So, so true!
And...
‘The truth never captive,
enchained—or then owned’

Beautifully expressed!
