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...

So very true Neville, our lives are very grey at the moment but hopefully the colours will be emerging very soon.

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
Such as your words

Kensho brings wherever it will take. For to see that which is before us requires our past.

Sadness fills the mind when scenes you had to leave behind burst from these winsome lines dear friend. Surely a sad read to read again.

On re-reading this bit of lovely nostalgia I found much more depth to the last stanza - a true love affair does indeed go on and on into infinity -- thank you Nev for a needed reminder..............x

so you too, my friend...

penned - as ever
so subtly poignant

Oh the mind is a fragile instrument
The here and now is what matters
The past made us, we must not lament
leave the past in its tatters
Let go of the monsters that the eyes invent

what a morose reality
you depict so acutely, you empathetically gifted Poet...
oh how - we belittle
each other\'s self-worth, just
to keep ourselves afloat...
I like to interpret, when Keat\'s wrote
\"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.\"
he was referring, to the simple fact
that only \'born-of\' Truth can Beauty ever meaningfully exist
with tangible worth
all else: it\'s but, our glorified
obsession with possession
of all things we deem
aesthetically pleasing, however
momentarily our \'interest\' - lingers
after consumption...
a daringly brilliant write my friend! forgive me if I have imprinted my own blinkered impression as to the meaning behind your words, its just my overzealous nature \'acting-up\', lol

Methinks a Miss as explained here will ever Take as long as hunger for praise is craved. Much food for thought in this needed write Nev.

The ephemeral nature of culturally imposed standards of ‘beauty’ clearly portrayed as the load of shit it is.
