Your imagery got me near tears Phil - - the sea and its waves means so much for many and I felt the sorrow of love lost but still needed.

Not keen on love poetry generally, but the combination of loss and hope got to me...won\'t happen again...😊

Detour of His Heart
L. B. Mek said:
when we learn, signs
are most time\'s, mirages
glimpsed, from a distance
or as a result
of our blinkered, projections
attempting to layer fantasy, over
that shunned, imperfect reality;
we understand
just how much control, we have
in striving to curate our story\'s
end
as sweet, as we choose it to be..
\'Oh, how I thank those signs
Signs of all kinds
Like when you went away
and didn’t say where, I was blessed that day.
The final sign - DANGER - TURN AROUND
put my feet back on the ground
saved my heart from another disaster.
Met someone, now my heart’s beating faster.\'
(just a great read, dear Poet
so relatable, thank you!)

An emotive read Phil - - Signs can give a smidgeon of truth for a heart to see but at times we are blinded - - I love the positive end to this meaningful use of imagery.

Fay Slimm. said:
Wow what a story and you pen it with such intrigue Phil - I was entranced from the first line - mirrors that bind with spells make the most engaging subjects -- am going to be wary of my old looking glass now.

I would argue that rather than being a short story .. you have crafted a compelling longish prose poem that held me captivated from one end to the other ..
I truly have a thing about mirrors Phil and this one was, or is kinda special ................... Neville

Upon a Dead Rose Dying
Neville said:
I have .. for as long as I can remember, always found the sight and the thought of dead or dying roses a little disconcerting .. I don\'t know why exactly but the image or images imprinted upon my mind leaves me feeling more than just a little bit sad ... I dont get the same feeling about any other botanical species ............. AGT\'s Neville

L. B. Mek said:
lol
I relate so much to your words
thanks for sharing, dear poet
and yes
when we start noticing, the virtues
of the fairer sex
we become a little, too - literal
with our imaginations
and hence, a part of our potential
to achieve the impossible
is lost, together
with our youthful perspective of life..
still
compared to the love, we get to experience
in exchange, i wouldn\'t change a thing
despite the bruises on my heart..
see, those bruises
let me know, the love I once - felt
was real, and that makes it
much more valuable...
heartache, is a burden of the loved
hollowness
is the tragedy of those, who never
dared enough
to love...
(sorry for my tangent
I got carried away, from your
poetic ode
to our years of boyhood, dreams)

Marathon of Poetry
Neville said:
Sheesh ......... it took me a while to fathom how to post my thoughts on your post Phil .. for several moments I had some kind of thought block .. but I am so glad I persisted and got here in the end .. and for no other reasons than
1) I enjoyed the ride
2) these words should resonate with all those who are serious about writing
3) and those who only occasionally do
4) because they accurately reflect reality and are therefore a universal truth in their own write
5) and because they need to be read and indeed commented upon
6) I rest my case ......... Neville

Making Music
L. B. Mek said:
(from
\'or Doowop\'
to
\'a sock hop.\'
your melodically, melancholic tonality
grabbed a thread in my chest
and helped me glide
through a life\'s
remembrance of grace
worded into acceptance
by your poetic eloquence..)
like Teddy.15
I hope this is a work of fiction
and I can simply, marvel
at your creativity\'s empathy..
but if as I fear, there\'s
some unimaginably harsh
life experiences
in the subtle mourning, imbued
in such, gasping lines of sincerity:
then, I simply have no words
all I can do
is laud your bravery
and champion
your exemplary, utilisation
of Poetry
to share, heal and help..
thank you! dear Wise poet

Jonas Robinson said:
Yes, find her. If she is the love of your life, then yes, it is very important. You cannot always rely on pure reason to punish your soul. Neither can we admit to these things in society, for fear of being anguished or persecuted. Thank you for sharing. I have also experienced true love, and it is the hardest thing to get over. I almost got in trouble with the law in the process of looking. Though, I kept looking, and eventually, I found someone new.

At a guess it would seem the writer had fallen in love with a movie queen
