In Frozen Time

when they dig us up in a millennia or two
outside of conceit's, crystallised tears
what would have survived of us
I wonder...
(a thought provoking, read
thank you, Guru!)
'You start learning
from yourself.'
if only...-L. B. Mek

How To Do Prophesying?

brooding doorways, engulfed
in rampant ego's
we seek, footsteps as guide
and handy trappings, to lament
inking, wishes as truth's
wincing, as we read back
and far too - belatedly, realise
that night rain
was necessary, to wash away
our moon rivers
of regret..-L. B. Mek

To Understand Myself

(below in my instantaneous
and overzealous, poetic response
born of your inspirational poem
may be the most important scribble
I shall ever, achieve
in this meek existence, I live
and for that, and
for all the other time's you've inspired me
to surpass my pitiful limitations
I thank you, wholeheartedly)
'I seek, no yield
in measuring jugs
of would-be
conquering lungs
I fear
no bottomless pit, endings
or stark awakenings..
solace, be my midnight
and I will wage war for you
at that dawning of light..
regret, no longer
may you scavenge
from within me, your respite
I yield, willingly
but still
resolute and chaotically
calm
in my pulsing songs
I Choose, to believe
like Keats'
that our wild dreams
be sojourning
on those clouds of change
and within them, threads
a likeness to me
a likeness, far removed from
me
yet, a likeness
that champions, the very me
I shall endeavour, to be!'

Matters Nothing

Very interesting word choice. Before he jumps... is this about ending his life? And his last wish is just to see the moon one last time before he ends his life?-Aura

Mutiny By Words

'Peeling the tangerines
with delicate fingers, in
winter sun to recite
the poems together.'
(what an enlightening experience that would be, Guru!
as ever, I thank you)-L. B. Mek

Diet Of Tears

well, one word ... WOW!
the imagery you paint is intriguing, strongly imaginative, well worded (sometimes one must make their own word) ... congratulations for tapping the images deep within, allowing them to flow
the 4th verse stands well above the rest ...

Myriad stars compete
with me to know my
worth in dark. A rolling
death of swans has dried up the lake.-keith moncus

Starving

there's, room enough to blossom
these poetic words..
unease, in our minds
makes us feel crowded, while alone
in our own bedrooms..
sometimes, we just have
to accept, try
to strive for better
and let that be enough..
thanks for sharing, Guru-L. B. Mek

Punishing Myself

'Whole length suspended from a tree.
So beautiful, as a star night.'
this is such a simply worded, yet decadent
ode, to a graceful Panther's
magnetic, majesty..
thank you! Guru
(and I imagine
whatever victor
if there ever will be, one
will have to survive, longer
than anyone else
so as to voice
the triumphant, last word
only
that would also mean
there will be no one around
to witness, such a hollow
victory..)-L. B. Mek

Primordial Legend

'I want to know the
meaning of indelible blood spots'
'You want to go nomadic. I am sitting
under a sacred fig to understand humans.'
'on the forehead of an unmarried sun.'
'A quarter moon throws
light on the half-broken wall to reflect
the mood of a run away river of tears.'
'It was your demureness.'-L. B. Mek

Conceived In Tears

in your amaranthus eyes.'
I don't think, 'poisonous eyes'
will ever! be expressed, more intricately
Vivid...
what poetic genius, you wield
with such accessible, dexterity
Guru..
thank you! I read and learn-L. B. Mek

Personal Loss

'I prefer intimate pathos.
Not easy.

I don't live
in night.

Yellow words
on green thoughts.'
thank you, Guru!
these lines remind me
of Li Bai's: 'Hard is the Journey'
(I lay my chopsticks down,
no more can banquet,
I draw my sword and stare
wildly about me:
Ice bars my way to cross
the Yellow River,
Snows from dark skies to climb
the T'ai-hang mountains!
At peace I drop a hook
into a brooklet,
At once I'm in a boat
but sailing sunward...)

Corrosion

'You need a space to
feel my lips in silent dark.
Birch had debt to pay.'
(it is painful, when
we run, into our Tree
of Karma
kissing it, shock - smack
lip first
swivelling our heads
too, fast
from that past, we run from
to face
that future, we burden
with undoing, all our mistakes
in life..
and so
before Dawn has even risen
our Tomorrow's are corroded
by those yesterday's
we obsess over...!!!)
Thank you for choosing to share, Guru
Brilliant!-L. B. Mek
