studied metaphors that engaged
me with images
Tucked away yearning
awakens and persists
I can see the memory
in the shape of the pillow
stronger images of dawnlight
creeping the gentleness of beckoning fingers
I can see you in a house on a Portsmouth cliff looking out to sea

A long time ago there was a hit called \'sailor\' - \"as i call across the sea, come home to me\" remember it?

Your reader can\'t help but feel the yearning and perhaps a little fear in your finely tuned words today Fay. Allsorts of picture themes spring to mind. These emotions you express go so far back in history yet are as relevant today as they ever were. Easy to picture you in that cottage going about your day to day yet tied to glancing from that window, eagerly ready to dash down to the shoreline.

these exceptional words fan out like a fisherman\'s net and leave this enthralled reader pondering the many wives and lovers who are as yet still waiting .................... N x

Yearning and missing clung to my heart
The loved ones separated over the years
Eyes longing for glimpse
Simply marvellous dear Fay

I almost heard subtle waves splashing in the background of this marvel. I adore this bittersweet glimpse into a longing for someone. Great job!

Cries from the inner self rise up in the twilight of sleep. Moments are envisioned or remembered. The mind succumbs to the deepest desires.
Wow! A great write Fay. The strongest desires of the unkissed, exposed. Loved it. - Phil A.

\'Can need stay submerged forever\'
it remains, a glance away
from that forever being shattered
and yet still
a nervous, flushed face
withdrawal
from ensuring, our choices
make it last, forever
as an obstacle to our awaiting
happiness..
(just a beautiful crystallisation of feelings
few dare, to try and acknowledge
let alone
own, with pride
and share, within such accessibly
brave words
thank you, dear Fay)

Really sensitive depiction of that inner self \"us\" we all relax with as we fall to slumber when ideals succumb to need and desire cries to be sated.
Could only be written by one with a deep understanding of self and profound mastery of the word.
A \'must have\' for my favourites.

There is so much woven in here. The reality of love and romance being a lot more complex than the usual lightened poetic version of love leads me to think that this piece reflects an actual romance or chance of romance. That thought brings a delightful smile to my face for it is springtime and the world is coming alive with \'the birds and the bees\' and the blossoming of everything on and beneath the trees.
Wishing you a very enjoyable spring dear friend.

I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms, dear Fay
glad you\'re \'wired\' back-in!
\'Bent on pivotal
lack a shock
reels at any vortex
and begin
knock-back swerving
by meant detours
around uncaring known
shortage
in deficient installments\'..
(when we give, all we have
and they count out - their receipt\'s
to insure, they
don\'t lose out
in this game they\'re making of romance
and our potholed, heart\'s...
and all we can do, is pay that bill
of fate
and save
what part of heart\'s, remain
untainted
by their callous, indifference..)
this, that cruelty
in romance\'s, calculative
ill-intent!

So good to see you here again. Welcome back, I certainly missed your fine posts and comments on here. The place just wasn\'t the same withoutcha.
I hope your snazzy new device is an absolute dream to use and encourages you to tickle the keys with evermore poetry for our delight.

Today I\'m recovering from over indulging in alcohol and reading your post hasn\'t helped my head at all LOL. Yes with all those crossed wires going on one could even fall out with ones self. To quote a song lyric from good old King Crimson \"confusion will be my epitaph\"

I was wondering where you were! My experience with this site is if you enter your password incorrectly more than once it\'s this whole rigamarole you have to go through. so glad you are back!! Great write for today, by the way. So glad you get to share them again!

Good write Fay.
Happened to me, or rather I could not access the site for a few days.
Joined up elsewhere, but complicated site, \'noisy\' or too \'busy\' with requests, adverts, etc.
