What He Really, Really Wants
L. B. Mek said:

Amen!
may the universe
add my volition
to your prayers, weight
dear Empathetic poet
and heed our, desperation
to save
the children, please
if only you grant us, some
semblance of mercy
just
go easy on the children
give them, ALL
of them
a grace period, experience
of existence
where pain\'s tearstains
and hunger\'s hollow eyes
doesn\'t make-up
their pitiful, warped view of life...
dear Universe
Please!

What He Really, Really Wants
Doggerel Dave said:

Too bloody true on both a macro and a micro level. Controlled by the State, controlled by the necessity to gain enough wherewithal to eat and provide shelter, controlled by the arbitrary directions of a political party in power…..got me going this morning, Nev.
Thanks for that one.

What He Really, Really Wants
Fay Slimm. said:

You highlight the case of many a victim of controlled behaviour when over-run by those who think they know best for everyone. Much to ponder in this four liner our Nev.

You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely
Bella Shepard said:

Scars that are exposed , painful but lingering, memories difficult to dislodge. Soul baring my friend.

You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely
AlitaOpal said:

This brought me to a passage my mother read to me growing up..

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Hebrews 4:13

Awesome write 🎈

You Would Not Care to See me Naked .. Surely
Doggerel Dave said:

A brief sketch of a much deeper truth there, only a hint of a whole complex relationship in less than congenial circumstances.
Provokes curiosity which I doubt you will satisfy, Neville.

Fay Slimm. said:

Expertly penned this letter of longing and love that though seems forbidden still lives despite thrown stones. This little gem of a read goes into my list of faves for sure dear Nev..................x

Those memories happen and bring such strange thoughts to use for writing down.

Bella Shepard said:

Wow! From Elizabeth Barrett Browning to W.H. Auden in one fell swoop. Yes, memory has so many triggers. The trick is to prioritize.

It Only Takes One Little Thing
L. B. Mek said:

\'who let the dogs, out!\'
or, who\'s
\'outing themselves as the dogs
we all, are
warped
by that prism, of belated regret
grasping
at crude, objectification to ease
the ache
that\'s making it hard to breathe..\'
or
you know, its all just the heatwave
making us confess
our hellish thoughts...
lol
a great read! dear Poet supreme

Things of mere insignificance can jog back to memory such intimate moments ---- --- and who but thee can pen honesty better with word-art to show she\'s still in your heart.

orchidee said:

Woof! Fido spotted the F. You\'ve started him off again! lol. As I say, no excitement for me. Fido chucks buckets of cold water over me at first sign of any friskiness - he would!

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
Bella Shepard said:

Well, if it\'s for a friend I it\'s OK. So I guess this can both ways, physically and mentally. If it\'s physically, more power to you. If it\'s mentally, uh oh, you are really f....d. All blushes aside, a very provocative read.

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
orchidee said:

Woof, woof! You started Fido barking. Ohh, f, f, and f he says. Well, he don\'t actually say it! lol.
he says \'No excitement for you (meaning me) today\', he says, as he lays in the shade sipping drinks on a sun lounger!

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
Paul Bell said:

A friend in need, is usually a friend who indeed is fucking someone else, but who might phone you for a loan just to really piss you off.

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
Fay Slimm. said:

A raw read today Nev. The \"petite mort\" is still called making love in this quarter - - wow - it takes a true friend to ask such orgasmic questions and must say methinks a female never would need all and sundry revealed..................... x

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
L. B. Mek said:

that cherished rarity
of true friendship
is wasted, while consumed
in that fog of youthful lust;
some, choices
we can live with, but some
instinctive
surrenders, to intoxicating chemistry
thieve us
of a kin, that would have shared
everything with us, but for parents
if only
we had the strength, to fight off
alcoholic lust\'s, venomous whispers
and we kept our lines, uncrossed..
I have a few
connections, lost
to nights of passion
although
I must admit, I regret nothing
just that:
\'I wonder if you ever think of me,
fucking you,
or you, fucking me, these days ..
After all,
that my friend, is precisely\'

\'the closest thing to heaven I have
ever been or
known to date ..\'
Brilliant!
(so unapologetically raw
and thus, reads
that much more sincere
for beings so)
while I rave, over your poetry\'s subtlety
this too, is a trait
of your poetic genius, I revel in
that ability
to say it like it is
unashamed but humbled
simultaneously..
(I read and learn
Hyung!)

Just Asking on Behalf of a Friend
Doggerel Dave said:

Unlikely - I believe in confidentiality in such situations, Neville.

I do wonder, however occasionally but rarely if I exist in the memories of anyone at all...

She was a prime example of the Socratic tenet: \"Know thyself!\" That provided her with promising pragmatism.

When the Shit First Hit the Fan
Bella Shepard said:

What was, was. What is, is. What will be, will be our responsibility. Choice and responsibility should go hand in hand, can we get it back? A very truthful and insightful write my friend.

Once Upon a Downing Street
Bella Shepard said:

Do you think we can find a spot in that filthy gutter for an ex-president that I know? He and Boris seem to get along well, but then they\'re cut from the same cloth. Come to think of it, a vast number of them seem to appeal to the same tailor. Maybe this guy should start investigating who is clientele is. Great write my friend!

Once Upon a Downing Street
Paul Bell said:

Boris will be partying to those words. Actually, Boris could start a war in his last weeks and days in office. In saying that, the replacements don\'t inspire much either.

Once Upon a Downing Street
Fay Slimm. said:

YES WHOLLY AGREED -- - seemingly everywhere governmental care is non-existent and deserves no better -than being revealed and brought to public shame.............x
