Thx nooshin. Your kind words are my smile.

Well said. Communication through Language, to me, has been somewhat polluted ive realized as ive gotten older which is why when someone reads or writes something that doesnt necessarily follow the normal structure or cadence of a language, it can communicate on a deeper level because it speaks to the core of a feeling that lies within the person. There is no need for the normal passages ways of speech/writing to express an emotion/moment/experience etc. I really like this poem. Its a wonderful reminder to me. Thank you. more »

Special words reserved for a special person. Its beautiful. To "nourish the seed of love" is a description we all could hope to obtain from someone . wonderful .

It means a lot to me that you took the time to read it. Your kind words "brightened my day

that day I found myself pondering on how the territory of empires have all seemed to expand and retract. That thought left me wondering about the factors that would cause such changes which led to how plagues are very similar along with countless other processes on earth from the careless over-hunting of the buffalo to position and shape of land masses due to plate tectonics. Somewhere in that daydream my subliminal mind flashed a video of a lava lake ive seen one TV once before and it was a perfect visual comparison of processes that can take thousands of years to , for lack of a better term, "complete". Although I use historical events from humanity, its less about us and what we try to manage but rather the inevitable ebb and flow of nearly everything on Earth. Secondly, I named the poem "A lava lake History of the world" but I comment on the unknown future with the line about Iceland and how it may very well be at the equator one day. Who knows? Its out of our hands.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. Its curious unto where random thoughts can lead us at times wouldnt ya say? :) more »

haha. Yea that's basically the whole poem. Thank you for your kind words poet. Looking forward to gaining more knowledge from your work. Ttyl

I agree . lol im a dead pai rat.

I just tapped the flag beside "REPLY" and it was a direct link to administrators with a comment box. That might be a fix. Justin try asking them to remove it next time. Want me to try it? I dont mind. more »

no apologies needed bud. You write beautifully and vividly. If you dont mind, id like to leave the comment but if you'd like to remove it i understand.

I want you to know cuz first and for most. Fuck the lack of care and help that soldiers deal with from the government and the military that you gave strength to. Ive never been in nor never really wanted to be in tge military but this touched me. I am still trying to donate my kidney to a vet in need but have had some horse shit setbacks from a medical system that should have never been there. My hands are tied and the decision that was made should have been mine. Anyways I want you to know that I would honestly give you my heart if you or anyone in your family needed it to live. That is the 100 percent truth. Im extremely thankful and proud of you all the soldiers and although I can never even pretend to know what yall go through just know as soon as the medical and military leaders get there thumbs out of their fucking asses, im there for it least one of you. Try to keep that head high my man. You are always gonna be our strength through thick and thin. Great Poem btw. more »

I agree. He is a very inspiring talent.

Too cool man. Im assuming you were watching a storm roll in but may I ask what season? Im guessing early autumn? Forgive me if my interpretation is off but either way I was transported the battle of troy only it was in the clouds above paris. Your style has influenced me with this one. Thanks John. more »

Had to revisit this awesomeness. Its been about a year

I dig the "spitty". Like "clark kent" . to me its one way to toy with language from a specific point that can reach in any direction like spokes. Your insight itself is a lesson and inspiration not to mention a pleasure to read more »
