Just Take a Look

Neville

Just Take a Look

 

Just look how well she pirouettes and glides

Between all those minarets and spires

Caring nothing whatsoever for religion

 

Hey

 

Just look again how well she thrives

Amongst all those preachers clowns and liars

Caring nothing whatsoever for tradition

 

Hey

 

Just look again how well she strives

To captivate and then discard

Without giving anything away at all

 

Just like

‘The Mona Lisa’

Just look how well she smiles

    Is the ending an invite to collaborate?

    I thought sir did not participate in collaboration?

    I like the mystery you create with this one. She seems enigmatic.

    One day I would like to be an enigma.

    • Neville

      N not an invite to collaborate.. that is not gonna happen.. am going to edit that out... you are an enigma sylviasearcher...and thanks šŸ™‚

      • sylviasearcher

        Oooh but isn't every poem an invite to collaborate neville?

        The invite to merge perception and reception. To create new meaning, new beauty, new truth.

        I wrote about it once but think I could write more eloquently now that I am an enigma šŸ¤—šŸ˜˜

        • Neville

          I am sure you could... thanks again..

          • sylviasearcher

            The one entitled 'write with me' also entices collaboration...

            • Neville

              dream on... I'm just no good at it

              • sylviasearcher

                Iā€™m intrigued as to why but shall ponder it privately...

                • Neville

                  okay...

                • orchidee

                  Should I meet here? Will it be swoony?! Do I need to take Fido, me watchdog, with me?! lol

                  • Neville

                    maybe take Fido along.. thank you for popping in ...

                  • sylviasearcher

                    It was the poem: to whom these words belong.

                    Noone claimed them ironically. I think they were written before I became an enigma so I forgot to pirouette!

                    • Neville

                      I reckon you have always been an enigma..

                      • sylviasearcher

                        Aww you are trying to give my head a rush!

                        • Neville

                        • dusk arising

                          Truly enigmatic and very cleverly done.

                          • Neville

                            Many thank you's... and a cheers for good measure... N

                          • Michael Edwards

                            And long may she smile - i think she might also be the subject of some of my writes - an enigmatic lass no less

                            • Neville

                              maybe..... she got around, so she did... cheers Michael ...

                                      To be without a care
                                      What a wonderful world that would be
                                      To be, just to be
                                      To be for no one but thee

                                      Romantic indeed

                                        A flamboyant female indeed who can ride over established tradition and laugh at its ploys - -yet the same uncaring attitude in taking captives to be discarded shows she who mysteriously smiles loves only self. Hhhmm - - one to avoid methinks.....good read Nev........ x

                                        • Neville
