\'Seen by pupils gaped in thirst for one another.\'
\'Basal senses attune to climaxing tempos,
Caligulan miasma fresher then the cold air of civility.\'
(whether it be poetry or another format, you clearly have a gift for words
I hope it yields you the reward you seek)
I read and learn, dear youthful Poet
thank you! for choosing to share

A youthful read indeed and a distantly familiar place. Thanks for the reminiscence.

L’appel du vide
L. B. Mek said:
\'On such days, the sombre tsunami trapped in the bottle of my mind,
Takes not the form of wronged lovers, disappointed faces or chances never took,
Instead, my raven sings only of sorrow, for the lack of excuses to which I may cling.\'
such searching bravery of introspective poetry, shared as a trailblazing lighthouse to the potential we all harbour..
demonstrating that if we could only find the courage to look within ourselves and ask that distorted: image of self, (we\'ve allowed circumstance and society to curate),
the questions that truly matter to us

I just got on MyPoeticSide a couple of days ago. You actually write poetry, and take the trouble to beat MyPoeticSide away from the damned middle axis it wants to default to, and also find a decent type face. And use your real name.

\'No cough rests on my chest,
But my lungs don’t work the same.
I\'ve been choking on our air,
Just trying to say your name.\'
a truly insightful write, anyone that\'s been fortunate enough to love, will relate to your words, because we\'ve all gone through those lulls/dips in relationships, where with each unsaid word an invisible thread of distance unfolds, morphing mere misunderstandings to debilitating awkwardness.
a wonderful write

Wow! This was hauntingly beautiful, thank you so much for posting this, the passion that must have gone into it is practically overflowing out of my monitor. Love really is quite the subject, and it often feels like it\'s impossible to capture the things it can bring about, but this poem captures the fires aptly. I really do love those last two lines, they end it perfectly. What a read! I cannot express the way this makes me feel, so many emotions run throughout it. I look forward to anything else you have to publish!
