What We Got
sylviasearcher said:
Thought provoking.
At first I read this like a person comparing himself to another, differing perspectives that cannot be reconciled. Though the I seemed supreme. The I seemed worthy. The I had something to lose.
Then I read it like a conversation between self and societal norms and judgements. How society tries to bend people to fit preconceived ideas and notions, until individuation is gone and then there is nothing left of the self.
Then of course I thought of two inner voice fighting amongst themselves.
Thought-provoking.

As the psychiatrist told me \'speaking to your second personality, i\'d get out now whilst you still can\'.
I asked him for a second opinion.

Neville,
Look at both sides of the coin and then flip it!
After all is said and done,
you “have nothing left to lose” and she “will still want” to hold on to you...
just like holding on to a treasured and rare gold coin!
A fine write which I enjoyed reading!
Thank you for sharing your poetic pen!
Have a wonderful Sunday!

When They Took Away the Tumour
orchidee said:
Yes, glad is all well now. We might never know what some folk have been through. We had special prayers for a couple of church members. But they \'departed\'. Some say there is healing in that - relief from pain, etc. I might have supported them more, but did not know them too closely.

Michael Edwards said:
Super sensitive write - I can empathise - My wife had kidney cancer 7 years ago and had to have a kidney removed - the surgery was touch and go but she pulled through and is still clear. She has a 14ins scar but I love it - it means she is still with me. Thanks for posting this Neville.

Neville,
I love your “scribble”!
A beautiful and loving poem for your wife!
Glad the tumour is gone! Scars are an important. They reminds us to hold dear the ones we love!
The scar is there and your love is stronger than ever!
Exquisite!

Excellent story and excellent composition.
Each line a thrill leading to the next line.
If you wrote that autobiography Fay encourages, and in this style, it would be \'un-put-downable\'.

Waiting for Cancer

The concept of waiting for many things and ending up waiting for nothing is superbly expressed in your words Neville.

Waiting for Cancer
dusk arising said:
Strange frame of mind comes thru your words. Is it one of defeat? Is it giving up? I really hope not.
Whilst moods can lower us into pits of hopelessness and despair they are transient. The world with all it\'s cancers is still a beautiful stage on which we fluff our lines and play to a sceptical front row - but now and again the applause is resounding.

Waiting for Cancer
sylviasearcher said:
Sometimes people get oh do very tired of waiting for something greater than nothing.
Sometimes people just keep moving instead.
Today I sensed a stillness in this poem.
It gave me a feeling less like that instilled by a Grecian urn and more like that when the ocean is stronger than my ability or inclination to swim and I become one with it or drown.

The sad unhappy state oozes through every line of this masterful poem Neville - - waiting is ever the most frustrating game. A read full of pathos which must have been as painful to write.
