What Now
L. B. Mek said:
that artwork is so impactful
the profound distinction
between the closed eyes in the corner
whether through despair or acceptance
and that, bold - accusatory glare at the front
with those hauntingly beautiful eyes,
creates such an unnerving feel
as if, just by looking at the artwork
we\'re trespassing
on something, so delicately private..
and how your words
give voice to those defiant eyes
all together, what a wonderful marriage
of art and poetry..
thank you for sharing!
(may I ask who the artist is, dear poet)

Chess
L. B. Mek said:
a timeless metaphor
worded so accessible,
but unlike life
Chess, offers a Draw-path
of an escape...
a wonderful read, thank you

Chess
Goldfinch60 said:
So true John.
I play croquet and one form of croquet is looked upon as playing chess in some ways in the moves you make in trying to prevent your opponent running a hoop.

watching a certain show
when you were inspired to write this? lol
I especially enjoyed
your metaphorical utilisation of spatial imagery

that balancing curve, of nature
it took science forever, to accommodate
while those intuitive wisdom seeker\'s, tilted it all
that Yin and Yang of fallibility: we all inherit
from our first breath, inevitably...

(insightful, yet again dear poet
and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
ideology, or spark of ingenuity
they all stem from those same
busybody neurons
that refuse, to live things alone
always striving
for better, and so here - We, are
generations later
too exhausted to search for our own answers
yet hard wired, to quest for our new beginning\'s...
where the balance, exists
is when, we\'ll finally succeed
or so: \'I Choose, to Think\'...
