A Handful of Ghosts

Neville

A Handful of Ghosts

 

It was while

Sharing your

Bed with

A handful of

Ghosts

I was forced

To conclude

There was just

Never enough

Room

There for me

 

So as I bring

You your tea

And a handful

Absolutes

Plus a few

Home truths

Each one

Of them painted

In delicious

Black and white

 

I leave them

Here for you

To digest

At your leisure

Any time of

Day or night

And remember

Whatever

Else you do

Keep my number

        Meanwhile, I'm keeping my towdah - oops, powder - dry (as in me poem today).

      • sylviasearcher

        I sometimes
        Wonder
        If I share
        My bed
        With more than
        A handful

        Of
        Ghosts

        And whether
        There is any
        Space
        In that bed
        Left
        For me

        Just a thought...

        From your words

        • Neville

          Funny innit how just a word, or a few words, or a taste, or a smell, or a sound, or a feeling can trigger a whole series of subsequent questions, concerns and doubts and.... thank you for checking in and considering these words sylviasearcher, always welcome and much appreciated, Neville

          • sylviasearcher

            Thanks for sharing your neat series of little thoughts 😌

            • Neville

              I had to.. they were so untidy in my head...

              • sylviasearcher

                Well you definitely tidied them up.
                I should have had you round mine to help with the cleaning!

                • Neville

                  are you serious.. would you really want me domesticated, leave the cleaning and do summat you might enjoy for once, tis Saturday after all.... 🙂

                  • sylviasearcher

                    I have often pondered what I might enjoy, the truth is I’m not sure I know, I’ve just opened the laptop and might disappear into it...

                    • Neville

                      dive in and enjoy.. when ya get time, let me know what you find there..

                      • sylviasearcher

                        I meant I was going to do some writing.
                        I’m hoping to find a peaceful forest where everything is okay x

                        • Neville

                          I hope you find that forest x

                          • sylviasearcher

                            Oh yeah, I think I know the way.
                            It's a secret though.

                            • Neville

                              we should all have a few of them...

                            • dusk arising

                              A pleasant near Miss for your heart. Not the right companion for the whole journey but a few pleasant day trips are on the cards by the look of it.

                              • Neville
