\'I read your words and faces visit
with accusatory tones coiled upon sullen tongues, behind
their tight-lipped restraint, of resolve,
ah my friend what a cupboard of skeletons you\'ve shaken loose
with your subtle words of truth,
I shall choose your path then, and bravely look back
at those once adoring eyes,
communing within memory\'s vocabulary
release a deep sigh of ashamed belated realisation, then
simply whisper my apologies
to those forgiving clouds of hope
within this breeze of accountability;
dear sisters, forgive me: I offer no shirking excuses for my brazen youthful deeds
just my eyes, now singed within humility\'s tears..\'
forgive me my friend I must have missed this post somehow, came looking for a dose of your poetic subtle brilliance, and as seemingly always - you delivered beyond my wildest hopes!
a brilliant write my friend, thank you for inspiring my feeble reply, though in actuality its probably the best thing I\'ve penned in a long while

We say \'Oh good, numbers are going down\', maybe sometimes forgetting the losses.
There\'s still terrible animal suffering goes on, including wet markets that started this.

We all have scars but each scar can be eroded as we move onto a better life where all the scars disappear.

I love your poem, Neville. I guess the only one without scars is a newborn baby. But it is the scars that make us interesting and feeling alive. A body/mind without scars is like a soup without salt.

The scars always show up. Just as you say, some are well concealed and some confront from day one.
The weirdos and wino\'s will tell you who scarred their still perfect selves which lurk behind their sorrows.
Me? Afraid of my reflection!

Trying to read a few this evening and that was grand!
Thank you for sharing my friend and sadly glad of the gray hairy mist, for last two weeks I\'ve been hit with lockdown puppies!
Keep sailing those waves! Sun is coming your way...

It feels almost impertinent to comment on your situation over there, so really...
Your work gave me an appreciation of how rich and textured life can be, and a greater awareness of what I\'ve had, and to some extent still have now.
Thanks Neville.

Ah, the mind of the true poet walks where inspiration has filled his soul and is once again refreshed. Tactile, audible and rich of odour, a light breeze of yesterday upon ones face tickles forth a smile in one\'s soul.

The word \"almost\" adds a pathos that touches the heart in this poemed bit of nostalgia dear Nev - - - to nearly feel what we long for is such a challenge to reality - - ending so topically too this is a real sigh of a read my friend.

indeed, this are truly challenging times my friend, hopefully we get a little freedom going into Spring/Summer and we can quickly start to breathe/heal, because there\'s a pandemic that covid is creating for which no quick-fix antivirus will ever exist..
that feeling we keep buried and distracted with our busy lives, the one that resonates deep in our minds, that incessant tap - tap of ill-fit discomfort
that we can\'t pinpoint, we just know in the quite: it revisits and its effect, debilitation at its very worst...
your poem is a good reminder that our efforts at maintaining our mental health, is just as it important as those hands we wash!
a timely and important write, truly

Post mastication he devoured her essence feeling the cotton wool thrust of butterfly wings in his solar plexus.
There is something sexier, than any posed or contrived image of woman, which happens when, post-coital, she is wearing only her lovers shirt.

An over-large shirt can make all the difference to female adroitness - hence the selfie-need eh ? -- such a tease the way your three liner leads to more curiosity about the whole scene - - great stuff agen Nev...............x

a beautiful dedication,
as always so subtle in tone, just a gentle nudge within words, to tip us readers into that realm of contemplation and contentedness, for those few cherished elements - that mean everything in our lives..
a great write my friend, like a deep inhale of poetic satisfaction, distilled - into just two stanzas

Wether it be cold days or nights
Wether, just a feeling in the heart
When loneliness takes a sip of life
Dreams, daydreams keeps us warm
