My Lady Was a Poem

My Lady Was a Poem

 

My lady was a poem

just waiting to happen

A flurry

of words balanced …

on the

wings of explorers

Reflecting

the joy on the face

of new parents

The pride of a father

and the

love of a mother

With all but a trace

of the smile

she was known for

And let’s

not forget the way

that she moved

which once

made her famous

Nor the

lavender shawl

that she

wore off her shoulders

My lady

was a poem

just waiting to happen

On the lips of her lovers

and in the

prayers of disciples

She was

a flurry of words

unhurried, yet spoken

At home

in cathedrals, bordello

or ghetto

Now gone tho I hear her

but only

in whispers and echo’s

I sense her

in shadows and embers

and mist

on the hill though

All the places we loved

I try to

scribble in note pads

My lady

was surely a poem

just waiting to happen

yet barely

captured in moments now gone …

    Once a minion of written memory and although now aged this lady will live as a whisperer of treasured nostalgia to one who saw what her essence reflected - - another peep into your masterful use of words Nev.that compel every reader to look deeper and perceive extra meanings - - - surely the mark of an exceptional story teller..........x

      Your muse is showing.

      What wonderful things love does to us ..... to leave us with reminiscences which mature into the finest emotions of love recalled. Coloured maybe with a touch more romance from these years of distance but non the less our finest hours shared with the most memorable beings.

      A beautiful reminiscence from your mind today Neville.

        All the very best of all good things my friend .................. Neville

            How kind you are Dan .. much appreciated reciprocated .. and that was both a quick and cute answer you gave the missus sir ............. N

            • Poetic Dan

              Ha well you know! Like the great lady said.. if you can't handle my worse than you don't deserve my best... When I'm good I'm amazing and when I am bad I have the intention of being soul destroying!!

              Oooo I'm on a roll! Dam i love all poets in good vibe! You really get to see humanity shine.. I only got better, from the souls on this page over the years.. Or more confident but hay what ever works, nothing is truly perfect right 😉

              Thanks again for always a genuine authentic vibe, like most of this virtual tribe that pop in and out as we float on by!!

              I see I can't stop... Ha ha ha ha

                  Truly a breathtaking poem that I feel many could relate to. The way it flowed and radiated the love you two had was a pleasant touch. Very much enjoyed this write Neville, keep it up.

                      'My lady
                      was a poem
                      just waiting to happen
                      On the lips of her lovers
                      and in the
                      prayers of disciples
                      She was
                      a flurry of words
                      unhurried, yet spoken'
                      well I have long since proclaimed my biased opinions of your write's, my oh so talented Poet: I'm a fan, but when you deliver such write's of simplistic mastery, who can blame me,
                      Brilliant!

                      • Neville

                        A warm embrace of love through life. Nicely woven sentiments of memory and immediacy bringing the tender intimacy you shared to great realisation. Thanks for sharing Neville.
