What is The Point of Such Beauty
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, this hit me hard…there’s something devastating about beauty meeting inevitability like this. It begins luminous and ends so quietly bruised. That final image of withering lingers in a way that feels painfully human. “she then bruised and eventually just withered away ..” stays with me, mate! Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Life is full (I hope) of moments and short durations......
I don\'t expect more, but hope to live within each, Neville.
I thought she was lovely.

Beautifully written, Neville. Your poem revolves around a woman whose beauty and charm have a profound impact on her surroundings. However, despite this beauty, the poem highlights the fragility of life and how time can diminish even the most vibrant presence.

The ending analogy Neville is amazing. Like windfallen fruit to wither away from a kiss too long and hard is well pictured in my mind. I think I may have been there at some time. Oh but to pluck that fruit in its ripeness and with cair not to bruise taste its sweetness. It make my mouth water. A lovely write and for that last stanza a fave indeed

Far too easy, I admit, to take the latest serving of crap from my old tranny atop my fridge, and pull it apart, propose questions I could ask from my kitchen and move on to the next piece of carefully curated shit…
The real truth? And what can I do other than ensure I remain aware I’m being conned..
This took time and effort to put that together, Neville. And I’m really glad you did.

Neville, this is a blunt call to stop taking the bait. You frame the obsession with labels as a smokescreen, then widen it to the larger machinery of suffering and complicity. The emotional core is that numbness line…tears dried out into blindness. …It’s heavy, confrontational, and purposeful. In fact, it’s all of those things…and timely. I hope those who read it pause long enough to sit with what you’re pointing at. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love political or social or economic poetry as I firmly believe poetry has the power to convey what we feel in the truest way. Thanks for sharing this.

Neville you have hit a sensitive spot. I like to consider myself antipolitical but I have recently been prodded by current events into writing some political posts and have another one ready to put up. They are not for either side in what I see as a bad guys and worse guys battle so its hard to cheer but it is about the absurdity of history reenacting itself and no one seeming to notice or care. Maybe they just feel helpless and don\'t know what to do. This poem hits hard and boils the blood. You might want to check out Rashomon or one, two, three, four.... five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

raw and unflinching—your words bleed truth through the veneer.
There’s grit in your longing, a weight we all carry but seldom admit.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Neville, this feels like a confession layered in metaphor. Hunger becomes more than appetite…it’s longing, ambition, ache. The way you circle from womb to wisdom to withheld bread builds something restless and deeply human. “and my solitary bid for true freedom ..” lands with quiet weight. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written, my friend; your words are profoundly strong to my heart.Your poem seeks to communicate the complexities of human desire, the feelings of dissatisfaction, and the struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in life. Through the exploration of hunger, the poet invites the reader to reflect on their own experiences of longing and existence.

Deeper meaning lies under the table. I too have been hungry to the point of gluttony only to have it ripped away by dark hands that nearly closed my nose to any aromas and my eyes to any appealing fare on the table. May your appetite increase my dear friend

Well written . Your poem explores themes of nostalgia, longing, and the passage of time. The speaker reflects on a past relationship, revealing a sense of fear and discomfort at the changes that have occurred, both in themselves and in the other person.

That contrast between honey-colored hair and clover on one side, and cropped grey on the other, stays with me. Freedom versus containment told through bodies and time…simple and devastating. Love it, my friend. Hope all is well! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So good to hear from you again. Hope you are doing well. A good read about changes and opposites as well. Some opposites attract others seem to repel and in that there is the rub.
