Somewhere Between Lovers
MendedFences27 said:

Her paper-thin veneer was finally shattered, and he voracious interior exposed. Her lovers felt like playthings and opted for a more meaningful connection. Love it seems comes in many layers, some deeper than others. We feel a sadness only for the loss of love and what will be her ongoing plight.
A well told scene of lost love told aslant of the actual occurrence. Sometimes, doing so is more difficult than relaying the actuality. A fine poem. I enjoyed it immensely. - Phil A.

Yes the result of insatiable lust ends often in heart-wrenching sadness and for both genders too methinks --- you pen a picture deserving of pity dear Nev. - brings tears to the eyes does this haunt of a read.................x

Is she on the rubbish dump? Aww, send her to me - or will she be too much for me?!
And what am I on about?! Fido won\'t let me have any \'excitement\'. lol.

I think you raise a good point, the difference between making love and having sex. Does one necessarily lead to the other? One denotes connection while the other satisfaction. Now if you get both together, well you\'ve hit the jackpot.

No matter the route (care with spelling there), so long it worked out well in the end.

If kids in your neighbourhood are mouthing off like that, it’s time for a move, Neville.

The first of your double-take gets my vote Nev. as despite this culture\'s modern approach to the sex-act it brings out in your final lines the difference in just coupling and that of mating with love. Know too what you mean by street-wise phrases that come from lots of youngsters today...............x

To me the beauty of the poem is that a simple gesture says it all. No need for words, a silence that fills the heart. Well penned dear friend!

Is this the birthplace of erotic Emojis?
A lot is said here with but a few words, the rest is left to the reader\'s humanity. The scene is minimally painted and yet piques the readers imagination. And then it ends, and the remainder is in the mind of the reader. If poetry is saying the most with the least, this is poetry at its best. - Phil A.

Another warm glimpse into an intimate moment giving your poet\'s view of \"afterward glow\" - -- you know how to leave much unsaid but always so telling mon ami ................x

I had an experience of two halves - in a field, watching swifts go by, poetically, winging their way, etc - then I stepped in a pile of manure! Well, I was looking up. From the sublime to the ridiculous. lol.

For me it is impossible to express the wonder.
Glad you took up the challenge and succeeded, Neville

Bella Shepard said:

Beautifully expressed dear friend, I think it\'s all three. I can see the urge in the artist to paint it, the longing of heart to absorb it and the need in the poet to capture it in words, which is exactly what you have done. I love the way you have traced the movement of the swifts, and the visual of color.

Old crumpled photos can bring instantly back those golden days when love understood and a heart saw freckles as golden gems. An evocative read mon ami.

You\'re mum sounds like a very special lady, who appreciated the sweetest sounds in life. You have captured this beautifully in a tender poem of love. She taught you well my friend.
