Now Looking Back
I seem to recall
We once had a thing
About balconies
Okay, maybe
For different reasons
But now though
And with all that
Behind us
From where I am sitting
Sipping local cooled red wine
From this unglazed cup
Like locals do
I note the kites and the cardinals
Are waiting for their breakfasts
While somewhere else entirely
Beyond both the courtyard
And the harbour
The Greek mainland beckons
Yes, it was there
Beyond the haze
In his world filled with words
In a world full of wonder
She once meant
Even more to him than poetry

Heart-warming words which recall love once held higher even than poetry has to be given extra respect when coming from your memory laden mind my friend. Another helping of tenderly held thoughts on romance.......... hope all is going to plan for you in that fantastic Greek paradise................x
Thanking you dear Fay is so very, very easy my friend.. I have only just got back and am presently exhausted... x
True love either past or present can be so meaningful to us all and more than anything else in our lives.

Was that me? Did I meet her? lol.
I dunno, do you think maybe you did, or do you want me to fax her number over and maybe you will... 🙂
brilliant demonstration of how to instil effortless flow without using the usual poetic tools of form, rhyme etc
this reminds me of a poem by John Brehm, titled 'at the poetry reading'
I am truly honoured my friend and sincerely thank you for your encouragement and positivity
