Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!
RE: Wouldn't It Feel Like Christmas .....?
Be there for each other, I wish it were so in my life, so far it hasn't been that much, but who knows what 2024 will bring! 
RE: No space anymore
There are certainly a lot of people out there I wish I had never met, and knowing I have only four more hours this year with some of these at work , it is a happy feeling!
RE: Sorrow at my door
Nice poem. I'm sorry for your loss but hopefully the good memories you've been left with don't fade.
RE: Mother Nature Speaks.
Hi!
It’s a great poem, Mick<3 Very well written; nice perspective and clever rhymes, perfectly timed! 
It reminds me of an old song by Soundgarden, called “Hands all over” that I’ve always loved- because of the music, naturally- but, the message is poignant and ‘on point’, too. 
Cheers! 
RE: Allegra Futura
We all are here because of not so lucky love experience.. just trying to move on..I hope one day your life will change..wish you to find a new warm and beautiful feeling.
RE: Never forget how special you are
Hi GritanteI really enjoyed reading this delightful poem. It brought my grandchildren to mind
Thanks for sharing it
RE: Allegra Futura
Good read.We have choices to make our past experiences motivate us or hinder us.
I chose motivation always.
RE: Sorrow at my door
Nice poem."I look to the skies to find your friends.
But is just me and you locked in a sorrowful stare."
They say animals can appear in our sight to give messages, to help us remember, or to just share the same feelings you both feel.
Sorrow at my door
Thank you for the comment and lovely words
RE: Sorrow at my door
Very heartfelt. Nature has a way of encroaching on your soul when one has had a great loss. We notice things more and are more sensitive to what is going on around us. Our loss slows us down so that we are more aware.So sorry for your loss.
Kathy
RE: Allegra Futura
Even if our past experiences make us who we are we should not lose hope of what tomorrow can bring us. Every morning we wake up we have to be thankful we are able to breath in. Nice heartfelt poem dear poet...SM
RE: Allegra Futura
Sad , yet beautiful poem you have written here IldebrandoRE: Let me be
I don't know if you know Jimmydean, but the human body has some organs that can regenerate itself, example the liver and skin. With one liver, two lives can be saved. Each time your liver filters alcohol, some of the liver cells die. The liver can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse can reduce its ability to regenerate. The skin regenerates itself every 27 days. The only thing is that this happens in the upper layers (epidermis) but the deeper layers called dermis do not go through this process.Just say to yourself "let me be sober"and you'll see many tomorrows....SM
RE: Infatuation.
Jockey, sometimes we don't control our lust for someone, our infatuations give away. Getting to know someone deeply takes time. Real friendship turns into something else, more durable, and real love blooms. We are not at the mercy of fate, we make it happen.RE: Jubilation of the rose
ocean, this poem by W.Blake was taken as the basis for the libretto for the ballet The Death of the Rose. I see that lovecanbereal felt it that way too, right? any way..all I was going to say, loved your new style , Lily
RE: Infatuation.
maybe we are at the mercy of fate Jocky!Jubilation of the rose
Wow LCBR we got you going there!, nice lines, yeah I have been to Rosehill and also to Randwick. Yeah the Golden Slipper for 2 yo's, there's a classic.Enjoyed that Blake poem Lily but I admit I don't fully comprehend it.
Thanks for the comment Mick, yes just trying a different style.
Ocean
Let me be
Invention of what exactly?? You can fight only so long with your liver after awhile it drags you doen but currently i am 30 weeks sober and my liver has picked right back up. Thank you though. ??
A Christmas Wish.
Thanks for your kind feedback Amy,If you have any poems of your own, feel free to post them here.

RE: Jubilation of the rose
Typo, who cares about the history and lore?RE: Jubilation of the rose
And the roses of RosehillWill be no more,
Gentle petals drowsy
Make to weep
The green common dashed
Like a chalice to the ground
And come a few more Autumn's
No slipper will be found
And as those gentle roses
Make to weep
Suburbia encroaches more and more
But they must have a place to put the sheep
So who care about the history and lore?
Zest,
Of course the slipper is in Autumn and roses bloom in Spring, so I have an excellent metaphor - the dying of the rose
(In my poetic ecstasies, I got a little confused, so I set the record straight, here)...
RE: Jubilation of the rose
A very classical romantic write Ocean,It's good to see you experimenting with new styles. Enjoyed !
Mick.
RE: Jubilation of the rose
nicely written oceanreminded me a poem of William Blake
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
RE: Jubilation of the rose
But the rose riseth next spring,A piquant perfume pervades Rosehill,
Horses on their toes,
The two year olds do prance,
To wear that fancy slipper,
For the one who does best dance.
One day housing will cover thee,
And memories will be no more,
Who cares to cheapen history?
And at what price is the score?
Ok, ocean, roses are very poetic. You got me going with your excellent imagery
RE: Linger
Loved your poem...wish if I could know you more...the woman with the soft lips..Paul
Autumn"s love

Floating Awareness
Thank You @southmiami4321I truly enjoy sharing what I write with others, in hopes of it maybe touching or inspiring them in some way. and I like to push the boundaries of literary undestanding, lingering there, then tell stories in multiple layers. So that more can be gained with each pass through when reading it over again. And sometimes a plot twist takes us to a different form of self. Thank you for responding.
RE: Autumn"s love
Still sending hugs and prayers Lily - love wins over for eternity. Prayers for your loved ones in danger. Prayers for peace and the end of war.Kathy
