Always wondered if trees hated humans. We always seem to be sticking things into them. Probably why they fall on top of us. She was worth it, wasn\'t she.

Where Recollections Reside
L. B. Mek said:
\'Oh’ yes,
can you see that old chestnut tree
with your
name and
my initials carved deftly and deep ..\'
(there are a few, around London
that bare my initials
and to know of them is to map
my heart\'s bruises
but, like all things
there\'s always, A one
that stands out
that shameful stain, We
tattooed
our love\'s youthful zeal
on a harmless, tree
in Russell Square gardens
and
decades later
whenever I feel the need, to revisit
and feel that Passion, again
I brush my fingers
upon, it\'s lingering testimony
to She
who visits me, in every other dream
and
I can still, smell
and hear
and so vividly
Feel...!)
thank you!
for inspiring these words
from me dear Poet supreme
one day, I hope
I too can scribble words
that can touch you
in a similar way..

Amazing aren\'t they. Those precious moments we can cherry pick from life. Held in cumulative they bring the reward of knowing we\'ve shared in the rich bounty of life for the living. As gently we relax into older years and applaud the young for their living joy.

Do You Ever Look Back on Those Days
MendedFences27 said:
\"Do you ever look back,\" is somewhat rhetorical. We all look back and what we remember are those we met along the way. How we remember is altered by the experience. Whether, pleasant or grotesque.
Looking back can be a great source of poetry, especially if well done, like here in your poem. I doubt if anyone started reading and didn\'t get to the final line. A most interesting recollection. - Phil A.

This is splendid Neville. I felt as if it were me reliving these \"times of prime.\" It seemed like you were so ready to take the next step, but unfortunately the one you\'re addressing doesn\'t seem to feel the same. Wonderful anyways.

dusk arising said:
Oh my, If I had listened to words of certain people I surely would not have such a colourful past to look back upon with a smile.
So it should be, so it should continue. Though I think most folk are more liberally minded today than when i was a young corruptable thing.

dusk arising said:
Ah, images of butterflies on the wing on that one day they live for.... all that growing from a bug then to pupate and break free into flight all for one good shag.... well the human version has a lot more going for it... you can even stop by the pub and reflect as you eye up the barmaid. Mindfully contemplating your next conquest in the traditional crimson blooded male tradition.

reading your subtle words
I can\'t help favourably
comparing them
to Bukowski\'s \'Layover\'
the nuanced majesty, in your poem
is in so much
you purposely, keep unsaid
and thus
allow your readers memories
to bespoke, fill-in
the missing lines
as they
have experienced life..
(such Artistic, restraint
just can\'t be learned
\'in my humble opinion\'
how I treasure you deft touch
dear Poet supreme, thank you!)
from \'Layover\':
\'That moment- to this. . .
may be years in the way they measure,
but it\'s only one sentence back in my mind-
there are so many days
when living stops and pulls up and sits
and waits like a train on the rails.
I pass the hotel at 8
and at 5; there are cats in the alleys
and bottles and bums,
and I look up at the window and think,
I no longer know where you are,
and I walk on and wonder where
the living goes
when it stops.\'

That is a lane that some only unwittingly walk into, and others boldly rush towards. In my day all the rage/rave/whatever was the one night stand. Even that wasn\'t the best a person could achieve. Tomorrow is surely another day. Chin up, mate.

Slaves of Eros

Eros is a lousy archer. I was wounded several times with his inaccurate arrows before he finally found my heart.
However, your poem is spot on. Maybe someday you\'ll be centered at Piccadilly with pen in hand. As to walking the tightrope, all I can say is that the older you become, the more slack it becomes. Great write. - Phil A.
