Notice of absence from L. B. Mek
'fare ye well' kind friends
'fare ye well' kind friends
Crimson skies when I cry
Thunderstorms, all night
When my insomnia
Keeps me waging wars
With a moonless fate
Typhoons
In my trails of hurt
And pain
So, those who curate
my
Nightmares in life
too soon, realise
What devastation awaits
Their pathetic
Scheming ways
Let all universe be foretold
I am no mere mortal
Spec
A dust
To build sand castles with
After my journey is spent
Oh no no no, my dear friends
I
Am
Significant!
My story
Adding, to our collective legacy
Like
All of us, who ever drew breath
Once, then
Chocked, screeched and wailed
Injustice
indeed, We All
Significant
In our on diverse ways
As our cacophonous
Memories, testify
Piquantly sublime…

What an incredibly powerful poem. We should all be free to live safe and as we choose and how. I really feel this stanza
Crimson skies when I cry
Thunderstorms, all night
When my insomnia
Keeps me waging wars
With a moonless fate
I'd like to believe London is still so versatile that nobody would suffer for being different at anytime and I do realize that at this moment it is a very worrying time. I would encourage everyone just to be kind. Try to keep your poets heart quiet and tranquil my dear Mek even when we are all facing such turbulent times. ❤️
London's folly will always be London's glory
Each rounded corner delivering you to a new
Culture and part of the world
While outside no10, they scream and shout
about injustice and lack of freedom..
While inside no10 they count pennies and plot
their next lump-sum cheques
from those 'temporary' VAT & NI taxes...
lol
all good and fun my treasured Poetess
we're all just turning chapters in a life
some we flick through hurriedly
others we take our time on and try to
treasure every last drop of..
❤️
Powerful!! Through every storm, hurt and pain. Even after all the struggles and heartache….the universe knows…."I am no mere mortal" "Oh no no no, my dear friends I Am Significant!" Hell Yeah!! Bring it on baby!!!! The power of self-expression! 💫💫💫💫 Our individualism adds to our collective heritage. Accepting our deepest aspirations and personal journey. Being free to be ourselves. Because the reality is…we can belong anywhere we choose. True fulfillment is within, and by discovering ourselves, we can find comfort anywhere we choose to go. Able to….be… ….in our own different way simply adds to the colors of life! I SEE you! "Know thyself" 😉
And of course, this melody goes perfectly with your message!
Your mind is a treasure! Thankful for you! My wise poet!! 😌
🤭🌹💓🌹👸🏽🙌🏽💪🏽🤭
Yeah....I SEE you!! 👑 ❤️ 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
"Crimson skies when I cry"
A wonderful line.
"As our cacophonous
Memories, testify
Piquantly sublime…"
The truth rings poetic in these last lines.
I think the verse that hit hardest and will remain with me is:
"indeed, We All
Significant
In our on diverse ways"
Such a great message my friend.
L.B. will be gone for a couple of weeks take care
thank you my kind friend
'truth rings poetic'
I like that, it's an affirmation
of brilliance in our unknown
and uncertain, a reassuring
perspective..
a poetic truth, indeed
significant we ..
The paths of everything end up intertwining ...
it's all written
we're just acting out our parts
or so it seems, at times..
still, we get to play the leading role
in our life, we get that spotlight
all to ourselves, for a blessed while
thank you, kind Poet
Beautiful lines that I would like to add to a future text !
We all have significance, have value. Your piece truly sums it neatly with a story surrounding it. Perfect!
thank you kind poet
so glad you could relate
with my humble scribble
I've pondered this recently and realised we all die, and when dead nothing more is said.
Make the most of it while we can.
indeed, death is our only guarantee
it's taken care of for us
It's LIFE, we have to invest ourselves
in-to, wholeheartedly!
thank you! kind Poet
Absolutely truth.
thank you! kind Poet
Proclamation that ‘we all are’ significant even if mortal after we come together, like temporary but magnificent ‘sand castles’
More than mere 'sand castles'
We build our empire of love in each other's hearts
A timeless legacy, surpassing
Limitations in breath,
Which dying star can claim such a monumental
eternity?!...
We Are All Significant!
My wise sister and cherished Poet
Your poem captures that legacy of undying love, thank you for sharing beautiful work, always…
Very powerful. Insomnia is hell.
yes it can truly be, a hell
mainly because it's caused
by entrenched traumas
we're still struggling with..
thank you, kind Poet
This is a great poem. It's wonderful
oh how very kind, thank you!
so glad you enjoyed it, dear poet
Your welcome
We are all significant being even if we don't notice that!
Amen!
thank you, dear poet
Reading You .. reading this, your words here made me very happy .. Not just because somehow I found my way here, but because you managed to say in my recent protracted enforced absence what I would have liked to say, but you got in first and said it better ..
Much respect brother M
