That you would speak of such things shows that for at least for a moment all was right. 🌹

Wow! This profoundly sad scene was filled with longing. Trying to remember someone, but not able to reconstruct the entire image, but recalling only a small fragment, enough to bring back the sense of her \"vulnerability.\" Even the \"crumbs of \" your \"croissant\" would not cooperate. A tender and poignant moment laid out in free verse and capturing the poetic moment. - Phil A.

Moments when the heart and mind are drifting in a sea of what has gone before. Someone is painfully missed. Only the crumbs remain. Beautifully penned Neville. Hope you had a fantastic holiday. Good to find you back.

Poetry gathers up the crumbs and tenders the same as the delicacy they truly are on the silver platter. The heartbreaking poignancy of this piece resonates and is rather exquisite. Excellently detailed and beautifully rendered. Thank you for sharing.

Neville I had to think about this one for a while and couldn\'t quite decide where it was because of the depth of your write or if my mind was out of alignment. Have missed your writtings

Bella Shepard said:

A grandfather\'s love touches this first beautiful poem. The second, the story of the effect life has upon us. The two I think inextricably entwined. Lucky you!

A poet\'s brain and a lover\'s heart, or is it the other way round? One year old, it\'s a beautiful time.
Too much handling can ruin the fruit. Sometimes well-intentioned people are prone to overdo it. A man eventually finds his own path, and hopes he survived it all, intact. Today\'s offering is like Chinese chicken, sweet and sour. - Phil A.

A fine write N. Lovely poem on grand-daughter too.
KP is broken - her botox cracked. Now she has fallen to bits. Or should it be - now she\'s all saggy - a sight I may never recover from! heehee.

The first endearing the second experience is the best learning tool. We do treat boys and girls differently as least traditionally so. Girls with tenderness and boys with toughness. Should we? I don\'t know.

You know Neville after reading both of these poems a few times, I have come to the conclusion, that despite it all, you do have a razor sharp brain and a bloomin petal soft heart under that dark exterior. Love your poem for Astrid and The Making of a Broken Man is still my current reading. Worth every penny and knowing the proceeds are going to good causes, is the icing on the cake. Happy Friday my friend.

Some things are best left unlit, hidden in the shadows, so to speak. However, they can rear their ugly faces into our minds when we least expect it. Depending on their impact on us they may never be forgotten completely.
Your poem says all these things in a more poetic way. And the use of candlelight is a powerful symbolism for a separated relationship. - Phil A.

Some things are best forgotten, particularly when they end really badly. It appears here that the ghosts are out playing on the mind.

tainted, shared history - ouch
I think I would be inclined to burn some sage.

I can’t help thinking that these memories will cross pathways again. A great write Neville.Happy Thursday.
