The Final Decision (+2)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

• The Final Decision

“Divorcing the rational
freedom began”

The vision that these words conjure up is incredible! One for the journal!

• Snow Blind

“And it’s hard
to structure

What you can’t
—see”

Spoken with clarity.
This is what I call a
“je ne sais quoi”
moment!

Two very interesting and intriguing gems!

GREAT writings!

Immolatio
orchidee said:

Ohh I\'ve heard a few stories, makes me shiver, about \'cutting up\', etc. I\'ve gone all cold now, remembering one or two of them!

Immolatio
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Great analogy, Laura. It seems many of the greatest artists
were at times the most tortured.

\"Remembering Van Gogh\'s ear\"....

Immolatio
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I’ve been reading and rereading “Immolatio”!

Michelangelo Buonarroti’s vision of him painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling keeps popping in my head and how he reluctantly accepted that commission!
Perhaps it’s because I just finished reading a book about him and also remembering the film, “The Agony and the Ecstasy”!

Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

“Transformed Divine”

I so love this poem!

You are truly a brilliant artist of your craft! Your “words paint a picture
in my mind”...
The pictures are vivid...as are your stories! May your fingers be forever enlivened. Continue to “paint” and set your sublime images free for your readers to enjoy!

My Real Father
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks Laura, my Grandfather saved my life. He died in 1974 the
week before I got married. I\'ve missed him every day since.

I\'d give all the writing back for one more day with him....

Five wonderful gems to ponder upon. Many questions asked...
not many answers required!

My Real Father
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Grandfathers are a blessing!
This beautiful poem resonates of the relationship my dad had with his grandfather. My dad’s father abandoned his family when my dad was five years old. He went to Argentina and never returned. My great grandfather raised my dad along with his brother! He certainly did a great job!
I enjoyed this write very much.

MLHnow said:

Ooh you can see my spiritual incongruity!
We never want to give away or lose the beautiful soul of I because that indvividual me makes us so human! Thanks for reaffirming our cosmic connection! MLH

Sleeping With The Muse (+1)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

I think looking back, Hemingway, Pound, Fitzgerald
and maybe even Gertrude Stein would agree.

I guess going to Paris did not enrich as we thought it would.
Ç’es la vie mon ami!

And You, To Me (+3)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Maurice Chevalier loved his art and his audience!

Un artiste merveilleux!

I remember some of his songs and movies very well. The first line of your poem reminds me of “Mon Dieu, Quel Plaisir De Vieullir”...one of my favorites!

Transcendental Lullaby
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Laura (Muse) woke me from a sound sleep last night with this.

As I was dictating it into my I-Phone, I knew she sent me something
good.

Thanks for reading.
