Now looking Back

Neville

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

      True love either past or present can be so meaningful to us all and more than anything else in our lives.

          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
