Flawed

Neville

Flawed

 

You may never know

How often I opened

Your page and looked

Down on you

Posing naked

From the waist down

 

Was he really so damn good

Or just another trick

You turned

I remember that shirt tho

Unbuttoned just far enough

To reveal the gentle cleft

Between those small breasts of yours

 

I may have even once

Just called them buttercups

No hint of a smile tho

Just a quickie for the camera

Did he tell you

To sit like that I wonder

With your knees so well parted

 

Your mother

Never sat like that

But then you know that don’t you

Hey I never knew you had so many

Piercings

You never told me

But then why would you

 

Is that check shirt

You are wearing mine or his

And is it blue or black

It’s hard to tell in

Monochrome for certain

Did you steal or borrow it

For the sake of modesty or art even

 

Whatever

I just love the way your

Eyebrows arch and finger combed

Loose hair falls over those shoulders

To reveal a near invisible scar behind

Your left ear and which makes you

Not quite so perfect after all my dear

  • Fay Slimm.

    Caustic the questions addressed to a female playing the field and written so expertly it holds attention to that final revealing line. You are a word-smith par excellence mon ami.

    • Neville

      you are far too kind mon chéri

      • Fay Slimm.

        You deserve every meant word.....................

      • dusk arising

        Find me the woman who doesn't hide the desire to leave such questioning pictures in mans brain. Pictures which will inspire the romantic poet to yearn his melancholy would yield as it does to wisdom and the smile of knowing human nature.

        A great teaser you are sir, shrouded in poetic majesty.

        • Neville

                      • kevin browne

                        The loving charms of the wizadry a women holds close to her majestic heart which lingers deep in a mans heart, also. It's enchanting motion of a desperation playing a hand dealt unturned as yet, She sounds like a tiger with claws attached. Brilliantly expressed with a deep feeling of saddened love and connections intertwined within both your loves....

                        • Neville

                          You know her too .. well there ya go then, just goes to show dunnit.... Cheers mate .. good on ya... N

                            When it's a concern for a lady I'd be there right beside her to help out with the given situation.
