A Silent Refrain

Neville

A Silent Refrain

 

It would be so

Very easy to

Just let go and fall

In love with her

 

It would be

Far harder to refrain

Come tell me what

You know my darling

 

Of all those things

We do call

Love and pain

My world is full of them

 

How very cat like

Of you Kitten

Come teach me of poverty

And hard times romantic

    Who could resist capitulating to these tender invites my friend - -that kitten knows how to set male-hearts astir. A read to remember and full of your unique style earns top marks from me again........... Fay

      Methinks you do not need teaching. However a refresher course can be so invigorating.

              There's nothing like a good purr in poetry and you stroked it out perfectly. Good work.

                    Did she sing? Cat-like? Meeoowwooo! A fine write Neville.

                      Timing is so critical to a relationship. Too soon or too late can bring disaster. Some fall at first sight, others only after years of being in contact. I've seen successful marriages after many years together and some after only weeks.
                      Do the words "feline" and "felon" derive from the same root? What do "Cats" know of poverty and hard times? Seems they live in someone's lap of luxury. The urge is irresistable, the restraint torturous. There is no answer to this age old quandary. Just go with the flow. Nice poem. Made me think.- Phil A.

                      • Neville

                        Timing is important period.... which is why I'm going to thank you now and mean it.... cheers, Neville

                      • Suresh

                        Some things are better left unlearned, but heartache is a pseudonym for romance, and maybe poverty and hard times too.

                        • Neville

                          it seems I am so transparent, you can see write through me.... thank you my friend..... Neville

                        • Silkseduction

                          Hi Neville,

                          Excellent piece!
                          -L

                          • Neville

                            Far too kind, but thank you L.... N

                          • Goldfinch60

                            Good emotive write Neville, to go forward in love or to refrain is a question that we have all probably asked at some point in our lives - is there an answer?

                            • Neville

                              Not a single straightforward answer, that's for sure.... thank you sir for visiting these words and your encouraging comment and relevant question..... Neville
