Good write N.
A rather gloomy-sounding title to a hymn is \'Buried in shadows of the night\'.

It\'s always the \"what could have been\'s\" that seem to plague us most, because we\'ll never know what an opportunity might have brought, so we lament what never was. We are strange creatures, are we not? Love your insight into human nature, along with your style and grace. Great write my dear Nev!

erm, so Hyung
sometimes I just read your title and then
lose control of my fingers for a bit
inspired
to try and scribble a little poetic reply
since I so relate with your words
thank you!
(replete, with our youthful zeal
lust inspiring us to love without handbrakes
we were young
all we chased was a place
for us to embrace
and cuddle, all night
since, climbing out
of the toilet window to evade capture
got old, after one rainy weekend
so now
we trace Time, in a finger caress
with that ease of mind
yeah, it\'s a lot of money
when between us, we can barely
pay the rent
let alone the bills, but
the memories we made, in that
very first place, we both
got to call our own, even for just
a while, lasted us a lifetime
dear, first love..
and yes i still remember it all
like it was yesterday
wine n dining you on tuna sandwiches
and cheap strawberry wine
making your lips, taste
a little more sweet, with every sip
I remember it all
no regrets
just mementos I cherish, with pride
knowing how lucky I was
that it was you I got to share
those moments with)

I think this is a desire to focus on the important things in life, closeness and \"time together.\"
It sounds by the title it is something not to be granted. Outside influence to force a separation? I enjoyed the ease of language in this poem. It sounded as though it was being softly spoken, almost mournfully. As always, a most enjoyable treat. - Phil A.

Brings to mind the red coats and the blue (?) the history of it is getting vaguer as the days go by. The \'very last autumn\' sounds a bit ominous.
