Mirror Envy

Neville

Mirror Envy

 

Oh lord

You really have

No idea

How much I envy

Those tall mirrors

Over there

And those images

Reflected

They contain

And tho you take

My eyes and sight

You can not take

This pain

I need it like

I need

These memories

To feel alive again

      Amazing association of mirrors and memories and coupled to inner pain.
      Have you considered writing mystery novels... several of your poems have a marvelous mystery element which cause me to linger and wonder. And of course i don't always get my brain to arrive at a suitable resolution, but that's the essence of mystery after all.

      • Neville

        You are far to kind mate.. but always and I do mean always appreciated... Oh' and yes, I have a couple of would be novels on the go at the moment.. one of which has been simmering for quite a few years and the other a lot more recent.... both are psychological thrillers.. well that is what I would have them be... thank you for asking.... Neville

        The read saddens yet strength guides the pen of your poetic defiance dear Nev. . Memories are a real saving grace to many. Warm hugs at your back from me and all friends here .............. Fay.

            Strong write Neville, those images seen from afar are so important to us as they bring memories from the past.

                  No gain without pain - tell that to the remainers - another great enigmatic penning Neville.

                    ...but must there always be pain. I guess so, because memory of pain keeps us alert

                      It was only when Guatama Buddha peered out of the Palace and saw all the suffering in the world that it dawned on him not everything was perfect and he woke to see clearly...
