A nice observation, Martin. 'Dance the dance of blokes.' I must have done that.

A natural encounter which is defined by it masculinity and casual approach. The ability to relate to another human being without being judgemental. A gesture of friendship at no cost. Now this is poetry as it speaks of harmony
Thank you for this
Keith

Thank you Nigel for your poetic response.
Being believed in
Helps us believe in ourselves,
But even if the whole world
Acts with doubts and disbelief
And mistaken mistrust
We should doubt the rest of the world
Because we are closest to our own truth
And even we don't know everything that we can do.

Dear Nigel, thanks for your poem! I was just speaking with a patient the other day who had a mysterious shadow turn up on his lung scan in which he is waiting for the biopsy for the results. the waiting game sure is hard. Thank you for articulating this so nicely in your words. Best wishes, Rasa

Thanks Greg
I'd love a jukebox too, but not only can't I afford one, but I don't have room for one either. Maybe one day if I win the lottery.
Keith I'm glad you explained yourself before the image of you in drag fully formed. I can remember being obsessed with Tocatta by Sky and playing it ad-nauseam on the jukebox . I don't even like that tune now.
I assume that some pubs do still have jukeboxes, but the one I mostly use prides itself on not having one.
Thanks also for those who pressed like.
Cheers Kevin

The feeling is intense where you wish to communicate but silence is better due to some good and unavoidable reasons. May God gives strength at such times.
Beautifully expressed piece indeed! I like your choice of words?

Original item by Chris Hubbard
Thank you kindly Ghazala. I am trying to do the heart's work when I write. This poem had its origin in talking to a man who was one of the British soldiers who liberated Buchenwold one of the earliest Nazi death camps, ironically situated near to Weimar,
the epicentre of German culture. It wasn't just Germans who treated Jewish people appallingly. Christianity and Islam have long histories of anti-Jewish hatred. We need to make recompense. John

Aviva, I wonder which one would sell better, in these dark times? Thanks for the comment, Julie. Yes, airports, perhaps we should tag along with a G7 delegation. Thank you for the kind message, Ghazala. Best wishes in your endeavours too - you seem to be doing rather well.
John - you are quite right, of course, although I plead not guilty to the head banging. I must be careful not to appear too grumpy, or world-weary, especially as I avoided by seconds getting caught in a thunderstorm today. Result.

Promises are meant to keep. Nothing should break the promises deep. It may feel funny to keep one sided promises, but as long as one keeps, it stays.
None could hate face for any worst reason. It could be seeing someone whose absence creates desperateness then better not see their pics Frequently to let the pain of longingness subsides Eventually.

You did ignite a lot of thoughts about friendship, promises to keep before eternal sleep, dreams to make true with hard work and of course, honest emotions. Great work.

You remember those whom you forget. Some people stay in our hearts forever like our own breath. Feelings never rust nor fade, you only learn to be patient after a long absence of a loved one.
It's a good idea to leave behind something for which everyone fondly remembers you after you leave the world.
It could be a charitable work or something that shall pass down to generations...thought provoking.

Thanks for this Keith. This fits well with it being Pride month. I have been thinking a lot about identity recently, and am taken with the lines from this poem, "I have struggled to discover who I am, not what others wanted me to be. Deep in my inner self I discovered the real me" A friend said to me this morning that deep in my inner self I will find God, I want to add to that, that deep in my inner self I feel I will find what God really wants for me. My identity !! Happy Pride month Keith. Fly your flag proudly. J.D.
