Just brilliant, so fresh. As ever word danced in front of me \"do I now believe\" was a great line. My friend your poetry is sublime, thank you for the inspiring rhymes.

Well, I\'m \'biased\'! See my hymn-poems, for example. Yet I should steer clear of Eastern stuff, and \'emptying the mind\' things. We may open our minds to bad stuff as well as good stuff.

Being brought up in a christian society will have influenced your outlook undeniably but .... Anyway the good side is christianity appears to teach basic good ethics.
Loads more versions of belief are around to toy with. I\'m trying to get a hold on Buddhist thinking.
Quite apart from all that i think we humans have an inbuilt mechanism that cries out for something to pray to once we move away from mothers love. I don\'t understand it, i just accept it. A faith in an afterlife seems an inherrent part of being human too. I definately have that and do enjoy reading various non religious theories.
Only going to be one way to find out isn\'t there.

All too true and masterfully written as per.
Now i\'m gonna try to preach to you. I rekkon we all like to see comments made to our writing on here. Your profile page reveals you dont post comments (like many others) but... my suggestion to you is.... if you comment upon others work then you will attract more readers and comm ents (u can start by commenting on mine LOL).. no, joking apart thats really how this site works best.
I\'d like to see your work influenciing more ppl, more readers.

Rainbow said:

i agreee very good rant there ha ha
Its good to let your feelings out in whatever what you feel
and i completely agree people should look outwards not just inside at themselves, becayse there are lot more things that we should care about in the world other than just ourselves and what we want and our needs

dusk arising said:

He he he, that was a rant my friend. Mind you, i do so agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly. Do you feel better now having got that off your chest.
If your top security people told you a rival had interfered with your prospects online would you say i dont believe u, he says he didn\'t. It\'s like a pantomime.

This poem was playful in the way you described an underlying truth about society and how others are labeled and treated amongst it. Great job!

This is a really beautiful poem and it does reflect society\'s labels and how there are names that we that sometimes we don\'t fit in with the labels and truly, the labels only reflect what people see and not what is really deep within.

Ha ha ha who knows how the world perceives us. I gave up trying to be something i\'ve no chance of ever being recognised as long ago.
Thank goodness most ppl appreciate that beauty is only skin deep. Sight being our dominant sense makes appearances important... but oh how misleading. I think you said all that but much more poetically.

dusk arising said:

Read this and thought, this should be accompanied by \'fanfare for the common man\' music.
So many realities tease my own dreams creating wannabe\'s within me. They\'re all there within our amazing brain together with the sure knowledge that we\'d be considered insane to act them out.
Very brave to write like this and be taken seriously.
Yeah you hunger , you eat! You tire, you sleep! Simples! But now explain why you write? ..... all the same?.... i don\'t think so.

When you go to Regent Street,
Make sure that I\'m there,
I wanna see your boldness,
I wanna see your flair.
Show the world your prowess,
Let life\'s tourists stare. :)

dusk arising said:

Complexity of life, our emotions fitting in and self denial, background detail - not easily put into verse. But you do it. OK if i was 16 and hadn\'t lived a bit maybe your piece would be a confusion.. But you know your reader has, and you use this.
Another revealing insight into just another westerners life in the twenty first century.
Funny, sad, encouraging and very readable.... wanted more of it.

So true Ed, love the way you snip pieces of your everyday to reveal inner feelings. I really can relate to every word of this.
Please have a look at my piece \'promise\' published yesterday on here.

E-Poems said:

I love your work. So refreshing to read honesty from a man. I love the last part about the phones in hand it\'s so accurate. So many people miss out on love and real emotions because they\'re so absorbed into their phones. Lovely work ~ E

🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽 said:

Wow ooh honest and sincere . Not many men will share the feel as u have done in a sensational and appealing way.. The lines about couples together yet distracted more by handsets ahh wow observed superbly, how they take each other forgranted while lonely souls look on tantalisingly. Kudos.

. Pleez do write your thoughts/comment under my newest poem too , titled , O human heart\"l

dusk arising said:

Entertaining story of the one that got away...... or was she a dream, a dream meant for someone elses head maybe.
The beauty of dream beauties is they fade away into reality before daylight hits their dark side.

Such a beautiful mess
dusk arising said:

Mixed up wonderful memories flood back thru your writing to confront the sad discomfort of what life did to your young pairing.
Beautifully expressed.
Of all the writers on here i find yours consistently really cut to the quick, you communicate with the way we store our feelings and their interconnection with the everyday.
