Gibran or Rumi? TBH there\'s so many of the greats in who\'s shadow we impart our truth.

i hope (probably in vain) that my work will endure and will champion love and universal truths long after I inhabit the long box - fine work as always Neville.

Cold Under The Coat
dusk arising said:
Outstanding Neville! This is you at your very best. There is so much here that i really like and admire so much. Such a wonderful read. A story of glorious emotion carried across years of acceptance and knowing. The love of what once was and couldn\'t continue, yet it lingers and has become a distant and unconditional emotion which is love itself.

Here it comes! No, seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed this. We\'ve all been there, when the girl of your dreams spurns you or becomes not what you dreamed of. It makes a great tale to watch the romance develope and then \"fail.\"
Okay, here\'s a bit for you- Drop the \"and\" in the last line of the first and last stanzas. It leaves the reader waiting and then realizing \"Oh, that\'s it.\" Without it the poem flows more freely. If you want a pause with no expectation of further development, maybe a few ellipses would do. also in Stanza 6 Maybe change \"have\" to \"had\" for you are reflecting on past times.
Seems \"we have both changed\" is the answer to why such things happen. In days or weeks or years that changing can occur. I\'ve seen couples split in both short or extensive time frames.This poem conveys the feelings of both parties, one chilly, the other left longing. Beneath the coat lies a broken heart would be my guess. - Phil A.

SHE walked away-
thus the reason for these memories that your heart still yearn
a poetic rendition, that I still silently sing

This is one heck of a write! There are spots of sensuality in it that I did not miss--and that you kept your corduroy coat all these years.....And I really like the last stanza. Haven\'t we all failed at love? It\'s great.

A garment and its smell can have such a permanent significance and the coat your verse mentions can bring back many memories. The hint of pathos makes this read special as does the tenderness expressed in each line and oh those few final words.............. Fay

Never had a mandolin nor a meerschaum pipe but I do have a bowler hat. In all seriousness this is one hell of a write - one of the few here on MPS which I could read again and again - in fact I\'ll keep it as a fav.

Wonderful write Neville. Those times past with the lady of your life are always so special.
I used to smoke a Meerschaum pipe many years ago.

If this is what you come up with when you give up, maybe you should give up more often and let the creative juices flow, and flow and flow some more

Ah - my favourite shade is violet
and thanks for the info. on such a lovely Greek Goddess. Well maybe her beauty was revealed but that Iris used her tints of change to her own advantage methinks --- A tale told expertly as an intriguing weekend read but I then expect no other than alluring mystery from thee mon ami...............

Memories may fade but they don\'t disappear, and so from time to time they jar us back to that moment, moments that are best forgotten. But how does one forget such poetic words.

In these my later days i have learned to write down such moments. On re-reading years from now i hope to mentally time travel through the few cloudy memory cells i shall have left.
I hope your words prompt others.
