When I Was Dead
dusk arising said:

Metaphor for drowning in a relationship? only to find oneself washed limp into the harbour - a place where people begin and end their relationships with the ocean. A fine place to begin to live again.

Mourning Song
dusk arising said:

Mountains of passion fade to calm once the crashing waves finally stop.

Would be appropriate to mourn such passing.

Short, sweet with amazing depth in today\'s write from you N.

But who can choose between ocean and mountain?

I was just reviewing a chapter in my book and it was kind of having both. Mountain and ocean...

Maybe I’ll share it...

Good metaphorical write, those white horses can bring hope.

Nicholas Browning said:

For some reason I thought of the Four Horsemen when I read this. Getting dragged by them beneath the waves would be a frightening thing indeed.

When I Was Dead
Michael Edwards said:

Well I\'m a realist so I read it as it is written - a life lost at sea and washed ashore. The only hesitation I have is the word \'exhausted\' in the penultimate stanza. A fine write Neville.

When I Was Dead
sylviasearcher said:

It reminded me a little of the notion of acceptance and commitment therapy, I quite liked the idea of accepting the wild horses escorting me, seemed a little humbling maybe.

Maybe maya needs some white horses!

A scare of a read yet phrased with great metaphor - - deadness which calls for a lively escort of salty white horses draws me back to the times I have, watching, wondered what lies right below........a bleak but compelling read Nev.

Smells are the most significant senses to bring back memories. May that smell remind you of heaven.

It is indeed odd how a scent on one lady can differ from the same scent on another, intoxication though both may be.
Methinks this olfactory sensation stimulates parts other scents cannot reach..... and there is an untold madonna present.

orchidee said:

Sounds a bit like \'Je ne regrette rien\', yes? Or maybe not? And what am I not regretting?! I\'m waffling now. Any excuse for a song!

I think I\'ll go and buy a bottle - err not for me of course. Another original and engaging write.

A sense of smell can take us back in an instant - - memory of scent calls as nothing else can. Ah - past love wrapped in perfume and beautifully written on your canvas today Nev. x

A fine write N. It\'s some cheap scent from the Pound Shop for me. As in a comedy prog - \'This smells like ferret pee\' Ooh lol. Woof - started Fido off now! yet we do associate smells (and pongs?) with certain people and/or places.

sylviasearcher said:

Third eyes huh?
Best closed.

Funny how sometimes we are acutely aware of how amidst the social constructs of our being we feel mis-represented. Somehow people see this other version of us. Not the version we ever intended at all?


Not sure even a third eye would help?
Or maybe it would? Maybe I have my third eye closed?

My brain hurts that’s for sure!

No wonder a forest with no people is so appealing!

Poignant write on the disappointment of interactive perception

Hello Neville,

A poignant and good poem.

Empathy with others especially different from ourselves is indeed a quality we all need to work on

Keep writing FineB!

A case of misunderstanding may be behind many an upset - - I love the poignancy and added mystery in the phrase you use in the final stanza Nev. \"He forgot he wore a wheelchair\" - -- how heart-tuggingly poetic is that. - Fay x
