Over and Out
dusk arising said:

Your words speak to me of a man who knows and values himself sufficiently to follow his right to a relationship where he will shine within the light of a star he holds above all others.

Over and Out
Fay Slimm. said:

Sad but true incompatibility is hard to deal with in a relationship where blame if felt must be a shared thing methinks..... at least firm decision in your final lines meant a complete break. My parents were in the same hard space for as long as I can remember - - an honestly written haunt of a read Nev...................x

\"looking at\" something is just that, looking. Seeing is having a sense of its reason for existence. Some look at art, others see it, know why it exists. Your little 3 liner contains much wisdom. - Phil A.

indeed!
there is no limit
to the depths of Truth
imbued in these words..
dear Poet supreme

to those blinkers, on eyes
genuine: Poetic brevity!)

Oh so true. Perception is controlled by ones egotistical state of mind.

Short and sweet from you today, a burst of wisdom.

Sight is unique and understanding is even more so -- - - many more side shoots come from the viewing. How true indeed mon cher ami.................x

Very emotive words Neville and such a shame that that sanctuary is now redundant.

Semi-Precious Summers
Fay Slimm. said:

Such an emotive verse Nev. The pathos of petalled togetherness when love had beginnings is perfectly poemed in this heart-tugging look back on days of lost summer. Never redundant your heartfelt sentiments always get this reader\'s top marks ............ x

Semi-Precious Summers
L. B. Mek said:

\'Just look,
where they lay now ..
And in such pretty little heaps ..
There, beneath
what was once
our bedroom window ..
Yes there, where we made love,
caught laughter,
and even wrote half decent poetry ..\'
(I love that poise, metaphor
of breath
inhaling and exhaling
from line to line
emoting, just how much
it took, from your
to out these Truths..)
what a brave write! dear Poet supreme
and in your words
my own, windowsills
adorned
by those churned, blossoms
of love
come back, as such vivid
memories
and so I too, reminisce
and write
and write
hoping, a day will come again
when I can make Poetry
out of life...
(ever grateful I read
and heed
and hope, someday
to learn
my cherished friend)
thank you!

Good write Neville.
I recovered after that petit mort thingy. Fido don\'t let me have anything \'exciting\'. He\'s kept me in this sheltered life. lol.
So today - half decent poetry..... as long as it\'s not ropey, grotty, rubbishy! lol.

Petite Mort #2
MendedFences27 said:

Somehow, I sense a passage of time and \" those exquisite little deaths of hers\" become the real thing, a \"near died again, held safe in his arms\" event.
If so, it\'s a sad poem, if not a joyous one. In any event it\'s a well-structured, intriguing, and sensual poem. - Phil A.

Petite Mort #2
Bella Shepard said:

What could be better, love reminisced? All those moments that make us smile. Makes you wonder about those people who have a perpetual one on their face. And French to boot, well done!

Petite Mort #2
Fay Slimm. said:

A fresh look at recalling small deaths in this well crafted verse mon ami. We seem in tune with French phrases today Nev. - - just how do you it - -maybe telepathy ?............x

dusk arising said:

Ah, in this new wave of gender confusion will we come to recognise the confirmation of gender by the demonstrable capcity to experience la petite mort.
Who are we to interfere when the old ways are the... well they served us well enough i believe.

Well, that\'s a unique comparison. I guess the \"wind\" can do a lot of damage, but it cannot take your freedom. A short but deep poem. - Phil A.

You take us on a journey of exoticism and eroticism- I don’t dare say where my memories reside

Where Recollections Reside
MendedFences27 said:

Memories, both fond and fondled, where do they reside? People will say in the heart, but we all know they are in the brain. Tucked away safe and sound and only recalled when sparked by a stimulation.
A sweet recollection poetically recalled and spicing the life of all who read it. - Phil A.

I can feel this vivid journey of recollection just playing out before me. I swear memories have a power so beyond and wonderful. I love this Neville!
