Blood Red Rim

Neville

Blood Red Rim

 

Tis beauty rare contained therein

Ne’er to divide

Her crescent blood red rim

 

So guard it well

With cloth and prayer and seraphim

Then rise my love be born again

 

Tho still so very far away

How fondly shall I think of thee

Wrapped safely in an ancient shawl

 

Pon leather chair and yes before

Her mirrors opaque and vacant stare

She sleeps tho fitfully dreaming of a lover

 

Then ponder till my safe return

Then let us dance and dance again

To this most sacred requiem….

          And who could knowingly disagree that the future may find your lost ones arms embracing your dancing soul.

          A classical feel woven into a mysterious tapestry of lament today.

                  Oh woe, I've not found any ardour as yet. I'll put Fido in the dog-house, an then I'll find out all about it!

                    You are a good Guinea Pig.......

                  • Suresh

                    I feel that your recent posts are invoking a love deeply held, now bubbling to surface. Sown together they form laurels to love in all fields of sight, sound, touch, aroma and above all heart.

                    • Neville


                      Thank you most kindly my good Friend.. but a gentleman never tells.. he just writes about it every now and again....... Neville
