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.
N not an invite to collaborate.. that is not gonna happen.. am going to edit that out... you are an enigma sylviasearcher...and thanks 🙂
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 🤗😘

Should I meet here? Will it be swoony?! Do I need to take Fido, me watchdog, with me?! lol
maybe take Fido along.. thank you for popping in ...
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!
I reckon you have always been an enigma..
Aww you are trying to give my head a rush!

And long may she smile - i think she might also be the subject of some of my writes - an enigmatic lass no less
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
Thank you my friend, a much appreciated visit and true... please excuse my late response, I have been away and unable to access the site..... Neville
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
thank you kindly Fay...
