When I am Done
Jerry Reynolds said:

Good thoughts, Neville. I wonder about those quite a bit more at 82 than 22.

Nicely plucked snippets of occasion from a life lived in fullness. It\'s said it all flashes before us at the time of passing (how do they know LOL) and maybe the salient points will be clearer then. But here and now this was a rewarding read in the style which is very much your own and appreciated by this reader.... among many i\'m sure.

A fine write Nev.

Do shut up now Orchi. lol.

A Jar of Nuthatch
Doggerel Dave said:

Sometimes an edufication is to be found on MPS. Despite my misgivings, I did seek the assistance of Prof Google (not always cooperative) and managed with a struggle to discover what these Nut something or others were, plus their collective noun...
Mistletoe ball still an ongoing project.....
Marlboroughs? Smoked those coffin nails for years - but that was forty years ago
Finally? at the end? Still able to think hard lengthy thoughts....after a fashion. :-)
Thanks for it all, Neville.
Ditto the sentiments expressed above re your move.

A Jar of Nuthatch
Michael Edwards said:

Looks like we\'ve both been away - anyway it\'s great to see you posting and in such good form. Not sure when I\'ll be posting as my art arm is currently busier than it has been for many a long day. Did the move go well?

Fay Slimm. said:

Welcome back Nev with your reflective and dreamy romantic Jar of Nuthatch - even a slow drink of Marlborough\'s not able to hide the longing in those few final words. - -- sighs and aaahs aplenty for this clever gem of a blues song .........x

A Jar of Nuthatch
L. B. Mek said:

as a fan of Plath, I can\'t help but relate
that bell jar of madness your words depict
witnessing reality
through that legacy prism of empathetic - insight
within her poetic vision
for vitality: within remembrance
of our heart\'s, stubbornly treasured veracity...
I read and learn, with humble gratitude my friend

dusk arising said:

Not often I get to read a final line with a \'hard on\' in it.

In a relaxation of a daydream world where brainwaves untertake their magic changes a Lear like nonsense pervades and our desires submit to our weirdness of autosuggestion as she again enters the realm of desire.
I hope that\'s not to far from an understanding of your writing today.

On another note. Good to see you posting here again, you\'re missed when absent.

Beware of Mirrors
L. B. Mek said:

profound and timeless, insightful wisdom: worthy, of deep contemplation
and as always worded so enticingly subtle my friend, glad I fished this one out
worth uploading again in the future (in my humble opinion)

Just my M24 and Me
L. B. Mek said:

I found this read timeless, in its message and tone
intertwining personalised life commentary, while imagining a perceived narrative of someone seemingly so far removed from our everyday reality, when it could so easily have been you and me..
a great write my friend, glad I found it
\'Sundays now mean
Absolutely nothing\'

\'Tomorrow’s just
Another numbered day\'..
these lines read so hauntingly relatable

Autumn
Doggerel Dave said:

\'Wish I\'d written that .........perhaps I could slip it in ......no one would remember.....
Seriously, I did feel that one Neville.

Out of Mind
Fay Slimm. said:

Love has a way of staying in mind when its day has ended and these moving words suggest the best way to let go - honestly, hopefully and so tender...........x.

Only in the physical sense, for they live on in memories

Well done, sir

I envision a yawning sky, naked, as the darkness fades and the hidden suns’ light reflects the orange luster of the dawning day.
Maybe I am just bats!

just brilliant!
(so glad I came looking)

Just for You

No, nothing shall stand in your way of expressing your true feelings, and so well done with these words you have.

Before We Die
Doggerel Dave said:

Have that very book on my shelf Neville, though I haven\'t opened it for some time. LC\'s CDs are not far away either - hardly need them as fragments buzz through my head often.
You embedded the reference in an atmospheric effort embroidered with rich detail - I would have enjoyed it anyway without the good book\'s reference.
How\'s the move, BTW?

Tomodachi ya Koibito
SureshG said:

I tried to look up Tomodachi ya Koibito, but didn’t get far.
Though, I must say, I throughly enjoyed the poem.

Tomodachi ya Koibito
Dove said:

Oh beat this heart of mine- if a man said “ you are a collection of sighs”

Oh beat this heart of mine
Hear my heartfelt sighs
When a man loves a woman
There’s a glow in his eyes

Oh beat this heart of mine
There’s poetry in his soul
With every word he whispers
Serenity softly flows

Hey .. LB .. thank you so much, not only for your heart warming visit .. but for pointing me in the direction of kazumasa oda .. I have already made good use of YouTube today ..... Neville

Cooeee! You beaten that egg yet?!
Totally unrelated comment to the poem - Do shut up now Orchi! lol.

Tomodachi ya Koibito
L. B. Mek said:

a delectable serving of your subtle artistry my friend, beautifully worded!
may, I in turn recommend you sound-out,
\'tokyo no sora\' by kazumasa oda
no worthier lyrics in-reply to your words can ever exist, in my humble opinion

MendedFences27 said:

What better way to honor someone than in poetry. Be she friend/lover/both, you have immortalized her in your own way. A poem of remembrance to keep a link open to the original relationship. Your own emotions on paper. Well done, - Phil A.

Good write, Neville.
Along that red-dirt road in my mind all my lovers are dear friends of mine.

Doggerel Dave said:

OK Neville. Felt fine and in many ways familiar, understood and good luck to you both.
But (and someone has to ask directly) wot about that last bleeding line??

Bit of French there? Erm, I never studied languages much! heehee.
Good write N.

Love\'s reproduction brought to our eyes by such poetic wording that only your pen can achieve my friend. An intriguing peep into tender togetherness in this first of my morning\'s read..............x
