A Life Sadly Lived
Fay Slimm. said:
The title alone of this sensitive verse brought a lump to my throat - seventeen words to describe a life of years lived is so very tragic - - a sigh of a read Nev. which reminds me of some homeless who thru sad circumstance live on the street at this festive time of year........x

This is very bittersweet. Yet, I think 17 of the right, well chosen words could sum up a wonderful life too. Less is more.
Yet, I sympathise with what you are sharing here in your poem too

in one of the scribbles I\'ve shared
I started with these lines:
\'no flashing lights, or wailing sirens
nor herd of mourners, or endless wakes
my passing will be as subtle: as the life I led\'
(I just thought, your write today
and these words, fit
in such a poignant way)
sadly without context, all I can do
is comment and appreciate your ability
to infuse so much depth and feeling
in such few lines and even less detail..
what a masterful wordsmith you are, my friend
\'humbly, I read
and learn\'

Some people live in such sadness , and others in joy . It’s not fair tho is it because it is our right to be happy in our own life . I know I get frustrated with the sadness life has thrown me .. but I know I’m worthy of much more

If it was not such a serious theme - it\'s my fault!
My version is: I made her kiss me, nothing more. Well I had just been eating garlic! lol.

I share your anger on this subject. Not least for the reputation it casts upon the innocent male majority. But of course mainly anger on behalf of the violated.

A carving out of the self. This leaves a mark on any reader/writer. When one has come into their own and became their own writing perhaps? Very deep, very profound sir.

got eggnog\'s on me mind
but me cream is all askew
so I\'ll borrow Neville\'s advice
and brew his recipe anew, \'yey!\'
a horse hair for cinnamon stick
a lengthy twine for sugar cane
a baited trap for my Quarry
a broken twig and wire
to boarder Boris, in his
Quarantine borders... (for once)
all served
with a side of poached eggs
in Rum...
(thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply, my friend
great Fun!)

Poesy, our beloved
\'what\'s in a muse
but for a flicker, lullaby
from wings, of a butterfly\'
sincerity\'s inked words
have a tendency to fly...
(simply Brilliant, dear Poet
I think I break-up with my muse
every afternoon, and wake-up
at 3am, under that judgemental
moonlight gaze
to make-up, scribbling
like it\'s my very fist time...)

Do not fret my friend, the muse wanders but never goes too far. It does like to return at the most inconvenient of times though. Excellent write🙂

It’s hard to say that your muse is gone
Who can stay to hide the shine from sun
So who can stop praising the words you weave
A man with less words but so much emotions
Where each word is engulfed with waves of emotions and feels
But yes often I wonder if the muse is gone, what shall happen to me
For so long it wasn’t there
Now if it goes I can’t seem to find purpose then
Your poetry never lacks the gleam
The sheen you carry with your pen
The mightier it is
Your poetry always a treasure dear Neville

How could a muse forsake thee who weaves words so endearingly wrapped for the pleasure of readers - - be not broken by dottings and crossing of T\'s dearling friend for she who fell madly in love with your kind of wordlings will badly miss inspiring romantic lines of intrigue that only you write - - after a wee while of rest methinks her allure will infuse your scribing again for believe me she will allow no signing out permanently for a poet with such rich artistic talent...............x

I had a visit from my muse last evening which was so refreshing. She\'s been away for far too long. Will she stay? I know not.
Your\'s on the other hand is playing games with us. Clearly from your excellent post today she is present and correct..... with her usual tease.

A good writing , Neville .. I like how you have expressed yourself .
sometimes we feel like we have lost a talent or come to the end of something … but maybe we just lose the inspiration to write . It may still be there within us , we just have to somehow find it again . Sadness happens and we feel like something changes in us
Thanks for your kind words in your comments
And happy Christmas to you too ))
