Non-Sound.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Non-Sound.

 

We lived through a blaze of debate-soaked relationship
mindless of hearing's real worth.

We shuffled in biased cut-price ideas of winner related
pretensions to obscure feelings.

Agreement went into time's melting pot as shut-eyed
we arranged private new worlds.


We talked ourselves into dry ground, regrets denied
sorries and pride took full power.   

Care's ultimate non-sound got mislaid between words
and lost seemed repair's quiet dance.

Yet we picked up love's debris and blew flame- burst
from silence to warm our last chance


and it worked.

    Seems to me you are describing that perfect relationship which lasts and sees through the test of time.
    To edgy a personality to have seen it through i fell by marriage's wayside. Regrets are plentiful but given those times again.....

    Well you certainly got me thinking with this post

        Fay, what a very poignant write. The trials and tribulation of love and romance over many years , and a successful outcome. Loved this insightful depiction of life's realities. And a happy ending. Well done - Phil A.
