'fare ye well' kind friends
fickle their poetry| that serenades and depicts
with such beauty
utilising: those same words| as used to bind
in unacknowledged servitude
within their pages| of Manmade rules…
fickle that grandiose illusion| of protection
afforded on the whim| of those perpetual Icons
of intemperate disappearance tricks
with their beguiling safe havens| switched
to necklace pearls of shackling surnames
fickle their belated| rolled out carpets
with pretence of welcoming - those belittled
as mere procreation tools| to shores of aesthetic - equal status
while in denial of their own action’s: ramifications
establishing| that Sea of separation, drowning Humanity’s worth
fickle those Bystanders, like me
that share their heart’s unbridled, clasping tight
their beloveds hands
while skilfully skirting: those borders of equality’s trenches
blinking egregious ignorance| over their blatant awareness…

poetic license is often referred to but just as oft completely misunderstood ...
tis infinitely possible of course to get hooked pon those deceivingly soft n gentle thorns that also double as a lovers lips or fingertips .. or even poetry itself methinks ....
I may be a million miles off centre, but I know what I both mean and like ... and I mean, I like this page my friend ....

good to get some 'actual poetry' on this page, even if readers gota scroll down to comments section... lol,
thanks for having my back dear Poet, what a wonderful reimagining of my message - seamlessly twirled into a supportive and encouragement comment, as ever - deftly subtle your brushstrokes, paint...
appreciate you taking the time my friend, I know how busy you must be
Read it twice - I'm confused by it.
Now look where honesty got me!
lol, forgive me I do like to ramble in my scribbles...
still, I'm encouraged you found enough merit to deem it worth a second try, that in itself is enough for lowly wannabe's like me, lol
thanks for lightning the mood and tone of the page Dusk, an insightfully - well judged comment, noted and highly appreciated
Like the read L,B. very challenging.
I think this taps into that overcomplication conversation we had last week, now multiply that by three years worth of prodding, cutting and redrafting... well,
I rest my case for what pitiful defence I dare make, lol
thanks for taking the time Jerry, always appreciated
Great choice of words, L.B., but like d a I do have difficulties understanding.
forgive me dear Poet, its that 'ego complex' within Poetic ambition - trampling, over my pitifully 'gesture' sized attempt: at depicting those struggles instilled within the heritage of those Ladies in our lives, by Men like ourselves - throughout the history of our collective humanity (if that helps)... lol
but maybe, your confusion will help make sense of why I have been working on this write for years now and evidently, its still far from finished,
I really appreciate you still choosing to comment and support, thank you!
Clever write Mek, it is a shame that their awareness does not come to help the poor souls of whom they are aware.
Andy
perfectly summarised Andy!
thank you my friend
It's so important to differentiate oneself, specially when it comes to poetry, as you have so eloquently done here.
thank you for taking the time to comment and support
Quite profound, if I allow the rules to guide me, then be it so, but I never let it distract me from the pleasure of rhymes and rhythm, in poetry as well as life
indeed, aren't we all searching for that same connection...
what a beautiful interpretation of my words dear Poet,
always appreciate your supportive and encouraging comments
"fickle those Bystanders, like me
that share their heart’s unbridled, clasping tight
their beloveds hands
while skilfully skirting: those borders of equality’s trenches
blinking egregious ignorance| over their blatant awareness… " ----- What does one even say L.B? Chivalry clearly still lives. This is very very profound, and very artistic. And the chili peppers in your vocab are hot hey. Thanks for the premium craft, dear poet. Definitely on the top shelf of my favorites.
oh good, after reading your poem
I couldn't help but relate
since our themes, so effortlessly aligned
thank you! for you generous comment
dear Poet
