An Old Promise Well Kept
dusk arising said:

A haunting tale well written in a beguiling way where your readers mind searches out for clues in every line.
I love writings like this. Suspenseful and exciting. Complete and incomplete... masterful.

An Old Promise Well Kept
Fay Slimm. said:

The scene as always implacably penned clearly has a wise message hid in its lines of keeping a word once made..... such a tender feel to this quite intriguing read Nev.

She Calls Them Tears
Doggerel Dave said:

Ah Neville, such loss…such unspoken grief… that salt can still be felt in a wound not yet healed – and there’s the rub………

She Calls Them Tears
myself and me said:

Holy salt. Next time when I cook, I will add a handful of tears into the dish, not for taste but for the sadness\'s sake.

She Calls Them Tears
Laura🌻 said:

Neville,

Reading your wonderful intriguing poem this morning has stirred my senses. I can almost taste and visualize those ‘salt crystals’.
Reading between the lines is a mystery in itself. You’re a pro at letting the reader interpret your writings and come to their own conclusion.

She Calls Them Tears
dusk arising said:

What better divide than an ocean when a divide protects a refuge. Or in years to come, interplanetary space.... nice, she can\'t call space her tears.

But are tears a convenience, a mask, wondered the police officer faced with a flood of them from a speeding driver.

She Calls Them Tears
L. B. Mek said:

\'salt crystals\'..
let us hope, for her sake
and for his redemptive need
to shed and phoenix, his regretful heart
that those crystals undergo a transfiguration
into, her life\'s serendipitous: \'diamond pearls\'..
that will shimmer
in the brightness of a forgiving day
and help attract, a healing presence
\'back\', in-to her life...
(Long after you\'ve forgotten me
I\'ll be your fan, my friend
keep that mighty pen, weaving and sharing
your masterfully subtle, Poetry!)
thank you!

You have mastered the art of written inference so blinkin\' well Nev. - - your art of confidential half-exposed situations astounds -
with intrigue that could not be bettered The feeling of almost hearing your whispers makes for mystery and you nail it for me each time - - inspiringly good this one goes into my fave-list dear friend.

And so you met again, the passion, the thrill , and maybe the chaos
Of yesteryear’s departure! Profound thoughts, with giddy pleasures

When Nothing is a Sound Too Loud
Accidental Poet said:

I once put a shell to my ear
To my surprise what did I hear?
My Muse with words to write
In the sand, but waves washed the sight

Fay Slimm. said:

A super three liner again Nev. The voice of inner conscience can ring the loudest when really listening and will drown out even the sea - cos I have tried that meself with a shell.........x

When Nothing is a Sound Too Loud
L. B. Mek said:

jumped the gun, maybe
blurted out those words in the heat of passion
mere weaved syllables, to him
a tsunami of release for her: once repressed, dreams
and so she dams, herself - back
to those safe shores, of disbelief...
\'timing\', is a much neglected artform
in my humble opinion!
another brilliant shorty, dear poet
couldn\'t help being inspired
thank you! what a gift you choose to share

Yes, we can get into some silent places - old church, etc - and the silence can actually hurt our ears - so does me singing to them! heehee.
