    The Answeless Riddle

    I am the riddle never asked A truth that hides behind its mask The answer lies in not to know  Belief in doubt is what I sow I'm silence shaped like inquiry A lock that fits no master key I'm wisdom wrapped in paradox A door...

    Time's Illusion

    I am a clock that ticks in reverse A future lost, a past dispersed  My hands erase what once was dreamed An ink unseen, where nothings schemed I count the moments never born Each second stitched with threads of scorn I mark the hours that...

    • This clock takes away all that was and could be. This is well-made and makes one think of the past. I enjoyed this.

    • I’m glad you both enjoyed..and thats a great take with the amnesia..time is our most precious commodity and something we def take for granted

    • Now you mention it and so eloquently .. I think that many of us have been there and asked the same searching questions .. Write on brother Curt .. You do it so well .. Neville 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

    • Brilliant and sweet. Excellent.

    • This ones of those that is written in simple words yet because the feelings are real and genuine, it’s like the only way to reflect these feelings is by the simplicity. no big words, no complication, it is as it is. It reads for me as a song of love and life, a sweet sad love song.

      • Forgot to mention the word sentimental too, it’s a sentimental poem/song.

      • It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, Light. Thank you for dropping them. Some poems are meant to be stated straight up, like driving a fast moving car and eyes on the road ahead. While some poems are meant to said softly, with flowers strewn across the road and lots of detours to smell them. I like your take on this poem.

    • Thank you, Mary. But those dots at the end of your words, please continue!! ;0)

    I Walk Alone

    I Walk Alone   dusty, well-worn moccasins travel through mesa shadows, windblown arroyos, along dry river beds of delusions alone with myself.   steam from hot rocks surround naked skin attempting to cleanse the death that follows me; cleanse my wolf spirit so that I may run, alive, breathe in high mountain air, drink...

    • Favorite line: You cannot cleanse the loneliness, and the sun shines in rainbows, and clouds speak to grandmother moon. This is a wonderful piece of poetry

    A Story... Once

    A Story….. Once   “Once upon a time”:…      or so the stories go; hell, even the Raven’s Poe used these words:      “once upon a midnight dreary.” But who is this knocking at my door? She was the      once in my life and I welcomed her in once upon...

    • We played this game in messages to each other very recently, did we not? Oh, on a much smaller scale, of course, and with much less beautiful words than those you have used here, my friend. i.e., “Ah, the sweet smell of success! Or is it the success of sweet smells? etc.” Yes? I like this version much better. You added beauty to it, and made it much more intimate and meaningful. What we did before was meaningless fluff, now a silk purse from a poet’s ear.

    • I am a fan of Poe’s I like how you changed each stanza around like that;))
