On my Lonesome
Sirens Engage
Weak week,
Studying streak,
Head on kind shoulders.
Not nearly unique!
Watch it.
âBuddy, for my eyes are up hearâ
Seafoam, disappears, igniting, to smear,
Like spotlights and
Luminous flowers,
In devious ways,
Captivated scents that waft,
As the sirens engage...
On rocky shores, waves,
Should have followed the map.
Before beaches and dark phrases,
Fill in your gaps.
Oh, how`s that!
6 and it`s goonnnee,
Out of the stadium
And onto our lawn.
For the worlds a game.
Monopoly for many,
All earn.
And learn,
But I want,
Not a penny
Whilst I play Uno.
On solo
With friend zones,
And âNo goesâ.
And a heart,
That is empty,
Which is something said,
But words, self-awarenessâŚ
For the plenty.
The Fish of the Sea.
Alternate title; Thinking, feeling and the Sirens engage.
Hope you enjoyed! Sorry about posting so infrequently, based on my ability to procrastinate for my studies, I can only manage one a week at the moment... Again thank you all for your support.

wounderful poemÂ
loved your photoÂ
where is this placeÂ
looks interestingÂ
Ahhhh thanks, Greg! The photo is of the Walls of Dubrovnik, which surround the town on a Southern Croatian Island. I found and read about it online, looks like a fascinating place to visit one day. Glad you enjoyed it, Greg. Peace and smiles to you.
Yes I shouldâve guessed thatâs where it was because I have a treadmill with a Ifit Video and thatâs  I was the other day Great place I would love to go there
Lovely to see you back Max. Relate very much to your words...

Great poem Max. This has the wow factor. Love it! âx
Awwww and that was my intention Tina! Glad you found it, heaps of mix messages in this, a fun experimental write. Smiles and calm waters to you my friend.
Max, I got such a lump in my throat reading this. I can sadly empathise with you.
One poem a week will be all our treat đÂ
I was going to pull out the lines both Marion and Being Me pulled. You crafted a beauty here. Sad,  but  really good imagery â¨đđ
Awww thanks Gwen... it's ok, at least we got Cosmos to connect. In the mean time I'm gonna fix all the grammatical errors in my work Yikes! Always happens on the first write ;) Thanks so much for your support.

Why thank you John!
used to be in the game but not of it, now I'm on the side lines trying to survive full speed in neutral, while directing invisible traffic! lol! all the best to my slippery pen friend from across the sea! wishing him to live long and prosper!...........................................................Jim
Awww dont worry Jim! Your support means so much to me, and sorry I haven't been commenting as much lately, the first thing I'll do now is catch up on that. Peace and smiles Jim! Wishing you calm waters from down under.
Great write Max. I haven't been able to put as much time in lately. Loved this poem, the image and the song. The whole piece was a pleasure to immerse myself in. You should definitely visit one day and you should 100% keep thinking about making a book đ aint nobody got time/money for it until they make it happen. I would buy it â⤠keep shining my friend and hope life is treating you well
Awww thanks Shelley! The photo looks so intriguing doesn't it? Perhaps after Coivd and Uni... yes... in another life. I'm touched about your book comment! To be honest my hurdles are just excuses behind my anonymous identity. What is the truth is that my studies come first. After that who knows! Again really thank you so much Shelley. If I ever did promise your name would be in the pre notes or intro or whatever they do lol! Smiles and calm waters to you. Your friend MaxÂ
loved it babe
Thank you April! I apologize greatly for my late reply, part time poet full time uni student am I right? Thanks again
I have missed this. For too many months life was too complicated what with lockdowns, clients without income and some serious personal shit going down, I felt unable to read anything. But yes, I love this piece and recognize a lot of it from personal experience. Hanx for sharing and good luck with the studies... Lovely picture, where is this Harbour fort? Looks like Spain to me
Ahhh, no problem John, how are you?! Hope your safe and well with the lockdowns. I'm really glad you liked this one. Seemed to get a heap of recognition on Cosmos... also to answer your question, its South Croatia! Hope I brought light and knowledge! Peace to you my friend
Ah, South Croatia, from my point if view a long way off from Spain, still, it is Mediterrean đ and (as a nice bit a of personal connection - about the place half way between the place of birth of my brother (Eindhoven in the Netherlands) and of his wife (Skopje in North-Macedonia - they met on holiday and have sticked together for nigh on forty years now. He went away singkle and came back three weeks later with: "This is Violeta and we are going to get married in January - you are all invited to the wedding in Skopje). Aye, peace to you too!
Wow! Fascinating stuff John! Glad you enjoyed~
