Inertia is definitely the word for the season Keith, though never dull with poetry of this calibre.
Nice one my friend.

This has elements of Treasure island in it for me and I cannot but expect to see Jim Hawkins and long John Silver present at the Admiral Benbow.
Great poem Ray

Reminds me of the (true story) of the proprietor of an arcade, in Newcastle-on-Tyne, who cemented a line of new 1£ coins to the pavement of the street outside - making a trail to the arcade.
1) They disappeared the next day - but it was all in the local paper.
2) The Corporation sent him a bill for repairs to the pavement.
3) Don't ask me for any details, it was probably 30 years ago. But I saw it myself and so did the person who dug out the cash. No it wasn't me, I was working in an adjacent office.

Understood loud and clear but id still avoid out of pure fear.
Your work has amazed me from our first meet.
The eyes they are open and absorb more than ones feet..
I wait with excitement because one can feel the enlightenment.
With out the drug's , I shall not be frightened.
Go and finish that lovely work po
And take most of us out of our low ?

The old soul knows too much....seems reliving the stories in your poems. Could it be this close, or could it be so true....factual and real it be...but definitely a great mastery n art in writing...?

One would say I am an old soul, came to earth so many times to absorb lifes information in order to help others.
especially the lost...
I lived a life full of story's only the old could tell..
A young heart and a body that does not match but the knowledge to be a humans plaster patch ?

Feet dance
when we have a chance
in love to mingle
and feel as loving people
nothing matters
as surroundings offer
and echo over love
to be sincerely believed
everything remains quiet
when we let
no moments to pass
in our love stance
my soul feels your touch
to reach
an inner depth
and make the heavy breath
That is I know
and go
by simple assumption
the love is beautiful relation

Dear Bindu... i m just a call away....don't worry!! this too shall pass..there are ppl in our life who just can't see others happy, so they keep creating such disturbances and turmoil.
[Just wonder how one can be so insensitive
Can’t comprehend how it can be so repetitive!]..............very true!!!
think it to be a test from Allah... and attain patience...i know it is hard... but give all your problems to God...have faith n keep going dear.... ❤

I recall a superb BBC documentary of other years called "The Queen's Realm" which took us around this country through the
seasons and finished on a truly uplifting use of the poem, the
final words of which adorn this particular poetry promotion, beautifully
spoken as the camera rose higher and higher over a verdant spring
landscape that seemed to stretch for miles.
Trees - what a worthy subject for any anthology!

Don't forget the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Mongols, the Aztecs, the Russians, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Austrian-Hungarians, and the Turks (the Germans and the French are too obvious to bother with).
More recent candidates will probably pollute themselves off the face
of the planet.
