White Violets

Neville

White Violets

 

I very nearly fell asleep

Without remembering

The four white violets

And the green sweater

You both made famous

In whatever year it was

 

But that was long ago

And way before I ever

Fell in love with words

Or began this oh’ so

Singular affair with poetry

 

I remember now though

How they looked

Left off centre, rising gently

            The rise and fall of that whiteness on green with every female breath I felt was so seductive - - - another memory of long-ago fun and so expertly expressed mon ami ................x

            • dusk arising

              She drew breath
              the violets beckoned
              your heart fluttered
              memories were made

              You do create some lovely images with which to romance.

                  **** 'Four stars" for this one, "pearlescent" or otherwise. "Breathing sighs" of envy here. A very gentle memory of long ago lost but not forgotten beauty. But, hey, let's not try to blame poetry for everything. Loved this one. - Phil A.

                • Neville


                  Much appreciated Phil, very much sir..

                  Neville

                • Fay Slimm.

                  What a telling word is "pearlescent" when on a green sweater that moved so seductively - - good memories eh my romantic friend. ?

                  • Neville



                    absolutely .................................................................................... thank you Fay .. x
