Thinking Backwards

Neville

Thinking Backwards

 

If I die now

At least you will

Have read me

And that feels good

As good as when we

Showered

In the forest

With only a bucket

And sun warm rain

Between us

 

But weren’t those

The days

Laying leafy and curled

Mid canopy filtered

Solar rays

And shyness behind us

The kind of days

Poets crave and

Films are made of

 

Too golden for eyes

And just a splash of green

Both here and there

To finger and caress

I used to smoke back then

Remember

But crave you now

More than I ever did

Those Marlboro’s

 

Funny isn’t it

I often think about

Our little echoes

And where all those

Smoke rings went

And do you ever wonder

What happened to our laughter

I know I very often do ……

    I like to spash a bit of green about the place, espcially if it's in the forest and isn't it where those echoes found you wrapped around those rigns of smoke dancing under the caopy of life, love and the remembering how to forge ahead searching and recapturing yourseld in those smoke ring. God bless, brother...!!!

              You expertly set the scene of past love in wonderful happenings that are never forgotten. I could feel that shower of sun-warmed forest rain -- - - another sigh of a write and delightful read.

                Blimey, how you brought to mind love in the woodlands over Elan valley and a shower of naked rainfall.

                Golden moments recalled and forgotten pieces of the jigsaw that is life.... pieces lost forever in places we can no longer go.

                A beautiful, joyous poem of recollection and reflective sadness.
