Insidious

Neville

Insidious

 

All that exists

Between

My night and

Your day

Now hangs in

The balance

A broad circle

Of insidious

Shifting

Light shadows

And

Very few of

Them are Smiling

 

How on earth

Did all that

Happen

How did our love

Become  

So fragile

Like a spent

Chrysalis

Amid so much

Suffering

When and where

Did we go wrong

    I doubt she will answer you with honesty. They like to come across as enigmatic... so be prepared to hear that she doesn't like your after-shave any longer.

    Interesting read to play with ones mind. I felt left suspended in mid air.... will we see a resolving piece from you?

    You're being enigmatic now though.

    Hello DA my fine literary friend.. Many thanks for visiting these words.. I kind off like the fact you felt suspended, I just hope you were not left feeling too frustrated by them, in the absence of a definitive answer, or conclusion.... I like enigmas......Take care and stay well..... Neville

      The fragility of love can be so unreal and so misunderstood Neville.

        Impressive imagery used in the doleful unfinishment of this reflective poem - - love has a habit of ending this way my friend.................

            Life is a series of changes. All things are in motion, uncontrollably. Love can grow or fade depending on how life and people change. The pain is a product of Love's depth. All love is not the same, some feel it more deeply than others. Your poem stages the "suffering" felt by one who loved intensely. No one went wrong. It's just one of life's changes, but it still hurts. _ Phil A.

            • Neville

              thank you kindly Phil,

              stay safe...

              Neville
