Ten Years After
Aradhya said:

A moment together is far more valuable than an eternity apart and such a memory accompanies one for life and perhaps beyond. Because it\'s a connection between souls and forever embedded in the heart. Time passes yet it\'s a moment frozen in time. A beautiful sentiment told in lovely verse Neville. Loved this!❤

Just Another Shot in The Dark
Aradhya said:

I found this so very hauntingly beautiful. A bit intriguing too as the safe haven is dark, as mostly such a place is associated with light and brightness. Darkness gives the feeling of uncertainty, unknownness, and a racing heart(just my thoughts), which makes your words all the more interesting. And the repetition makes the feelings of grief more poignant. Sometimes darkness is far more peaceful and healing than a brilliant hues of light. Perhaps the darkness is because of being afraid of reality?
Anyways, this felt very sincere to me and I absolutely loved it!

\'When there\'s no one else and nowhere to go,\" only then do you wish to \"lay there\" with her. And why a \"secret room?\" I was a bit confused, and also lost by the \"V\", but that\'s probably a good thing.
If this is a plain old statement of love, then it is beautiful. If it\'s a specific kind of love, then I am lost.
Forgive me if this sounds confusing, it\'s because I am. - Phil A.

We may not remember numbers, but we remember words. Yours are particularly touching and help to embed the muse in time for the rest of eternity. Thank you.

This is beautiful. I only wish I had a secret room and someone to lie beside me. Thank you for the poem Neville.

It meets very well Nev and the two verse repetition adds to its pitiful poignance...x

Pathos issues from every line here - and from the title too -- the feeling of being abused goes so sadly deep into the psyche . - -- a relatable write for both genders methinks Nev.....x

An encounter, seared upon the mind, not easily forgotten. Though time may dim the details, the impact remains and serves to comfort. So well versed dear friend.

Same could be said about these exchanges of poetry. But perhaps they would have to be read aloud as the eyesight is gradually but surely fading as well.

MendedFences27 said:

\"Disjointed fragments\" and \"mistaken\" identity, a split personality and an unrecognizable one. A dilemma to ponder, if only for enlightenment, and not the pleasure of the words. I\'ve been thinking on this. - Phil A.

That Last Time Look
Rocky Lagou said:


This is so amazinggggg!!
Neville you have versified the \"last look\" so aptly.
Be it from a lover, a family member.
It reminded me of my late mother,
and the times she\'d glance at me from her hospital bed.
Or the times when she felt better, and gave me her signature mommy stare.
Thank you for this Neville.
Those times definitely have the power to \"bear [their] name\" forever in our memories.

That Last Time Look
MendedFences27 said:

I\'ve been told that, to a sailor\'s wife, every encounter is a last encounter. She sailed away on the bow of his boat and left you standing on the shore. That look of longing encourages a sense of unfulfillment.
What a concise and exact depiction of parting ways. Thoroughly enjoyed it. - Phil A

Ah -is it a boat or a woman I wonder -- the sadness of love\'s final adieu intrigues yet again mon ami. This glimpse of endings only your pen can poem so very enthrallingly...........x

That Last Time Look
Doggerel Dave said:

The distance, the the resultant emptiness (will it ever be filled again?)
Not particularly worried if I got this wrong, Nev. I found plenty to cogitate over.

We are so enraptured by the part we are, that the whole completely alludes us. But that aside, your words are composition for meditation

Bella Shepard said:

The zen of life meets the enigma of existence in two 3 line stanzas. Short and sweet, and has my head reeling. Things that confound me a lot more these days, you have very simply put into words. Extraordinary write dear Nev!
